[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are so many killings, I wonder what life is like for people living in those communities in Chicago. Is it like life anywhere else, but they just know not to go out at night?  Or are the killings not random, so it’s just like life anywhere else?[/quote]

OP, you’re either a troll, super lazy, or both. All the information you’re asking for is readily available online.[/quote]

Nah. I think people can be genuinely concerned or interested. Chicago is having an especially bloody summer, ever since the riots and protests. And crime has been increasing in Chicago over the last few years too. If you live in suburbia or a place like Denver, then these daily shootings can be really astonishing.

OP, to answer your question as someone who grew up in Baltimore, I suspect it's quite similar to Baltimore in that parts of the city have almost all the violence and crime, and other parts are very quiet and safe. And there's some gray areas. And once in a blue moon someone gets shot a bit too close to home.

Honestly, if someone lives in Chicago in some parts of the city or in the suburbs, it is really astonishing and shocking.  Especially because it is happening so close but seems so distant from your lived experience.[/quote]
