UPDATE: Apparently, on Sunday, June 24, 2012, around 2:04 a.m., a second woman was robbed at gunpoint, somewhere on Glenwood Avenue.
The offender was described as a tall, slender black male wearing dark clothing.
Why is crime so out of control in the 24th district? I just don't understand why so many thugs are moving into the neighborhood. Sure it's diverse with people of all sorts of backgrounds but just because we are inclusive they take advantage of it. I have had enough of this shit. I am fucking moving out of Chicago for good. I am 31 and moved to the city when I was 21. I am moving back to Schaumburg. Enough is enough.
ReplyDeleteI wish you the global best. Frat boy, set your goals higher than Schaumburg. Good riddence.
DeleteScumburg sucks too!!! See ya
ReplyDeleteSchompton? I dated a guy there that thought it was "better than" (everyplace else too). I couldn't even sleep at night there with the bass-booming beat box cars coming by ALL night and police sirens. He was partially deaf. I did some investigation and that "condo" was surrounded by equal opportunity Section 8.Not far from that shooting at the 7-11 there too. Just looking for someplace "better"myself too if I were to stay in the area. I think moving out of the state is a better idea.
ReplyDeleteWe'll see more personably self-responsible people moving out of chicago to the outlying burbs while the ghetto trash continues their takeover unabated.
ReplyDeleteRemember that those NW burbs have their own problems with ghetto thugs too.
Good luck.
I suspect that the vibrancy from Cabrini Green has been moved into the outlying suburbs.Time to give the burbs a taste of the vibrant High Life.
ReplyDeleteThe north shore seems like a good place for a few thousand section 8 vibrants. Then their crime rate will go up and they can be just as equal in outcome as we city folks. Plus the upside, our city leaders(Rahm)can then claim they saved Chicago and that they cab also save the USA. Ambition has no bounds and the peasants are easily deluded by bread and circuses.
Schaumburg has a gang called the “Patels”, they break into people’s homes and seek to complete any unfinished math homework. They also stink up the neighborhood cooking curry sambusas.
