Liberals have seberal problems with their thinking. First off, and most dangerous, is they think they are smarter then anyone else and think they can fix any problem "on their march towards the perfect society". They cant fathom that there are things beyond their control , mostly cause they are so shallow they arent affected by these "things". Like crime and gang crime. So the propaganda about gun control fits right into their thinking, since after all actual people arent really responsible for their actions. Thats to simple an explanation. There must be a more complex social science explanation to them "since Im so smart".
They wont admit its all pretty simple after all. That, and pretty much all one can do is protect themselves cause we wont become The United Federation Of Planets in our lifetimes. Where humanity has elevated itself beyond victimizing each other. Even in the big city the chances of becoming a statistic, if you have a little $$, are actually pretty small so then to are the chances the Liberal will be "victimized" into becoming a conservative. Besides, they are so "smart" anyways they will probably just so their attacker was traumatized from a lack of breast feeding they couldnt help but rob, rape, or shoot them.
One might say 50,000 to 60,000 gang members in a city of 3 m is not a whole lot but give these little turd birds a little credit. They use the internet to and some are even smart enough to see the value of political power. Most of all the older ones who have been around the system for awhiles. And since gangster life is "generational" in Chicago there are many, many thousands of fathers, mommies, coaches, ministers, community leaders, Politicians, and yes POLEECE, who came up in and around the gang sub culture. An Alderman in many places simple could not get elected without gang support. Sending gangsters around to canvass votes is a pretty good intimidation measure covered under the cover of helping "troubled youths". People are rightfully afraid of these little creeps so its a swell way to get out the vote. And of course theres all those millions of untraceable drug $$ ... There are neighborhoods that are pretty much totally ran by gangs and even assigning a squad to each individual block doesnt do much to slow them down. All in all its a pretty frightening situation and Chicago isnt the only big city with it.
How can you get rid of gangs when they have integrated themselves into every aspect of life, and even the centers of power, in a community? The answer is you cant. All you can do is protect yourself because, MR. Liberals, there are some things in life beyond fixing.
