While this page highlights crime, we try to discuss crime as honestly as we can. Chicago isn't this wasteland of crime but all is not well either and it's extremely divided. Crime does happen in many places in Chicago and the ultimate goal should be to limit it as much as.
You have bad actors in both camps acting like Lincoln park is dangerous and then other people waving away real tragedies because they don’t reflect the reality of most Chicagoans.

"If we only let law enforcement and prosecutors do their jobs without unreasonable restrictions, and had more judges concerned about justice for the public than for violent offenders, we could be making even greater stride." - @StuLoren.

One way to create a safer city is through implementing sensible policies. A last resort is sending in the National Guard.

Between sundown Saturday and sunrise today, 25 people were shot across Chicago. 3 of them died. Nearly half of the victims were targeted in a pair of mass shootings, both involving drive-by gunmen who opened fire on large crowds.
