 Confession: I have this thesis that Chicago has the meanest people in the World. It's like we take a joy in ruining fun. You try to do something fun in this city and here comes the gangs, and not just the ones on the street. 

Tribal warfare. The Police of all vice. Even our gangs have religious connotations, Hebrews Vs Moors, with wars on the Gaza Strip (actual nickname for a street, actual event). We got Vice Lords in the Holy City. 

Visit a tourist spot in a family friendly area and there's pictures idolizing an actual de-facto Chicago King, Al Capone, who behaved like O-Dog from Menace 2 Society. I think there's some weird Capone curse on our Police department. The Police are known to be sarcastic assholes anywhere you go, (that's par for the course), but in Chicago there's a joyful vindictiveness to it. They want you to hurt and they're taking joy in it, laughing at it, laughing with it, being corny about it. 

Even the major horror movies Icons of the 80s all have a Chicago connection, look it up. We were founded by a Haitian too. How we know DuSable ain't do no juju on the land? And Barack Obama cut his Political teeth here? Man look. 

You won't force me into war.

The failure that is the modern day right, is trying to convince half the people in the U.S. that there is a war by the government, on the people.

Ok fine, i'm convinced, but where the fuck have they been? 

Genocide against the natives.

Slavery slavery slavery. Slavery. 

Post slavery

Jim crow

COINTELPRO

The red scare

The war on drugs

The war on terrorism.

In those instances people, Americans, (many, if not most of them innocent) have been killed, tortured, terrorized, etc. To what avail? 

Now we at war, cause gay or "they" people show up on our favorite TV shows? That's what's going to motivate us to say "we finally had enough". I don't believe it. 

Policing

The law is determinant upon whether people choose to follow it or not. The consequences of not following the law are also determinant upon compliance. Its not a given, nor is following court protocol. Most Police follow peaceful protocol. When they don't, the penalty isn't severe enough, hence the protests and the contemporary issues of Police Brutality and abuse. Any unnecessary infraction of aggression by Police should be treated 10X as harsh as a normal crime. These infractions have largely have been ignored or even encouraged, which is unacceptable. When the courts can't discipline our public servants, its up to us as citizens to step in where they have failed.
