But what about Chicago?

"Here is something you cant understand
How I could just kill a man
Here is something you cant understand
How I could just kill a man"


~Cypress Hill~

Sadly, I can understand. And as I see the drama of the senseless loss of young black lives playing out in cities like Chicago more and more each day, I am starting to understand it even more.

I live in Philly, and I do a lot of criminal defense work, so sadly I understand the culture that creates this climate of senseless violence and depravity that is being played out in some of our inner city neighborhoods on a regular basis. These urban terrorist who kill and create mayhem don't feel remorse or care about the consequences of their actions. They live for the moment. Most of them don't even think about living past thirty. Or, for that matter, being free on the streets after thirty. It's either dead or in jail. While they are here, though, getting a rep on the street and getting fast money is all they care about. 

Last weekend in Chicago there were 33 shootings and 12 murders for all the reasons I gave you above. The racist trolls who like to point to these happenings as evidence of some type of dysfunction that is specific to the black community are having a field day. Every time you point out some type of social injustice or an instance of institutional and individual racism, they bring it up. Donald trump is a liar and a sexual predator. Yeah but what about Chicago? Police officers have to stop  killing innocent people of color. Yeah but what about Chicago? The America government is wrong to separate young children from their families. Yeah but what about Chicago? I think you get the point. 

The problem is, of course, that what happens in Chicago and cities like it is the end result of a problem that was created by a society that left out the have-nots, and is set up in such a way that only a few can succeed. The so called American dream will never be realized by many of these people and they know it. So what happens? The have-nots turn on each other.  

Also, killings is not something unique to black folks. In case you haven't been paying attention, white men have been killing their families in serious numbers in this country. (Just yesterday here in Philly, a man strangled his  seven year old daughter to death because of a bitter custody battle with her mother.) Don't believe me? Check out this link, and this one, and this one, and this one. There are lots more, so feel free to use Google. 

These types of killings, one could argue, are even more heinous, because they involve the killing of a loved one the killer is supposed to protect and care for. What's their excuse? They lost their job? Marital breakup? A lost custody battle? In Chicago and cities like it, we know why they kill each other, and it's tragic and sad. However, I will never understand how someone can kill his or her entire family. The people he or she loved at one point and formed a bond with. 

The point is, to quote the orange one occupying the white house: "There are bad people on both sides." Killing a fellow gang- banger or drug dealer is bad. Killing a family member or loved one is bad as well. We don't need the pontificating from folks in the majority population about all those evil Negroes in the hood killing each other. We know why they kill each other. And sadly, in a lot of ways, we are all to blame.

    According to the web site Gun Violence Archive, at the time I'm writing this, there has been 34,876 shootings and 8,746 deaths as a result. So this gun violence that Chump said he was going to stop, isn't just happening in Chicago, it's a nation wide problem.

  3. AMEN, Mr. Field, to what has to be one of your most powerful columns to date. Sadly, this may not be your last analysis of clarifying the complex reasons for urban crime and homicide statistics.

    While the bots on any comments forum are similar to the annoyance of a piece gum stuck on bottom of one’s shoe, the real-life anons forever posting the tragedies impacting Chicago and other cities as mass weapons of rhetoric are devoid of heart and soul.

    Though the collective community may not have the same resources as LeBron James establishing a school for at risk youth, we each can do our part to empower families with better schools, social services and vocational opportunities.

    “So this gun violence that Chump said he was going to stop, isn't just happening in Chicago, it's a nation wide problem.”

    It is a nationwide problem. Last year, Chicago ranked 9th, not 1st for homicides per capita, despite what the liars in wingnut media would have you believe. And it wasn’t a close contest. St. Louis had nearly three times the homicide rate that year!

    Chicago is not a particularly violent city, by American standards. The obsession with attacking the city was initially just a backdoor way of ripping on Obama. And now that he’s out of office, it’s morphed into racist wingnut shorthand for “black people suck.”

    Then again, American standards of violence are still quite bad as compared to most wealthy, industrialized countries. But those countries have less violence because they have fairer economic systems and less racism, and aren’t flooded with an unlimited supply of guns.

    Conservatives demand the policies that result in enormous violence, and then point at other people and pretend they had nothing to do with it.

  11. I've lived right in the thick of the killing (a long time ago when Oakland was actually a violent place) and there's not much you can do, besides try to know your neighbors and make a community out of your neighborhood.
    We had some success at that, but mostly the violence just diminished and the neighborhoods calmed down.
    In 1989 we had three murders within 30 feet of our front door on MLK Way behind the MacArthur BART station, and now apartments on that block are renting for more than $2K/mo. And no, the neighborhood didn't get any whiter, the whole damn city calmed down after the worst of the crack epidemic passed.
    We lived next door to Rosie's Little House of Soul Food, behind which was the headquarters of the local gang, the 38th street boys, and I got to know them pretty well. My friend Jack even went to court as a character witness for them and made the prosecutor look like an idiot who didn't know anything about the part of Oakland we lived in, which he in fact was.
    I don't know if it helped them or not, but it did help us, as we gained favor among the gang's members and were all the more safe because of it.
    There are things you do in dangerous situations that might not make much sense to folks who have never been in such situations, but you do them anyway because they are the right things to do.
    My girlfriend at the time got disgusted with the incompetence on display during the gunfights that happened on that block two or three times a week, and took three of the 38th street boys into the vacant lot behind the house and taught them the correct way to fire a handgun.
    Her reasoning was that it would shorten the duration of the gunfights and reduce the number of unintended targets. I don't know if the first part worked or not, but the second definitely did, and we only had one window shot through after that.
    Also, everyone knew that we could shoot well afterward, and that probably reduced the "let's go fuck with the white guys" sort of activity that we occasionally saw among the customers of the crack dealers.
    I, personally, had more problems with crime in the nicer neighborhoods I lived in. I had my front door kicked in twice and lost four electric guitars in the process, once on 62ond st. and once on Humboldt Ave.
    I'm really glad that I don't have to just account for gun violence likely to occur in my daily life any more. It's scary as fuck and a major pain in the ass.
    I don't know whether the stricter gun laws have contributed to the lessening of the gun violence here or not, but my feeling is that they at least haven't hurt the situation. There are still plenty of guns around, but it seems like it might actually be a little more difficult (and expensive) for your garden variety crazy fuckhead to get their hands on one, and even a small delay in that situation is likely to prevent it from turning deadly, as crazy fuckheads have short attention spans and homicidal rages usually don't last that long.

    The despair of poverty certainly contributes to dysfunction, but black homicide rates are off the charts. There is no comparison to any other demographic, and the same disparity in homicide rates exists all over the world.

    Black people are statistically more prone to violence. this needs to change.

    That being said, murderers are a small percentage of the black population, and this can be addressed.

    1. Promote the ideal of two parent families. Stop demanding subsidizing single motherhood at the expense of the black man's role in the family.

    2. Start cooperating with law enforcement. End the "snitches get stitches" culture. Stop blaming the police who are combating criminals for the crimes that the criminals commit.

    3. Stop depending on white people to fix this for you. Promote a culture of personal responsibility.

    4. Stop teaching your kids that they are powerless victims in a society designed to oppress them. Teach them instead that they need to conform to the same standards of behavior that everyone else is expected to conform to. Equal rights means equal responsibilities.

    1. Promote the ideal of two parent families. Stop demanding subsidizing single motherhood at the expense of the black man's role in the family.

    1a. White mass shooters probably had a two parent home or if not deal with your own pathologies. Do the massive amounts of white opioid overdose victims have two parent?

    2. Start cooperating with law enforcement. End the "snitches get stitches" culture. Stop blaming the police who are combating criminals for the crimes that the criminals commit.

    2a. Most of us are law abiding citizens who would cooperate with law enforcement so stop using Fox News talking points about shit you have no clue asshole.

    3. Stop depending on white people to fix this for you. Promote a culture of personal responsibility.

    3a. II don't expect or demand a goddamed thing from white people because most of them are pretty dumb like yourself.

    4. Stop teaching your kids that they are powerless victims in a society designed to oppress them. Teach them instead that they need to conform to the same standards of behavior that everyone else is expected to conform to. Equal rights means equal responsibilities.

    4a. How the fuck would you know what we teach our kids? Maybe if you taught some of your own kids that shit you're talking they wouldn't be offing themselves with fucking drugs Einstein.

    Thanks for the unsolicited advice white fuckboi but this is the wrong crowd for that bullshit as every single Black person on this blog is more successful and better educated than you. So go preach bullshit somewhere else because it looks like it's needed in Kentucky, West Virginia and all the other fucked up rural white areas with fuckboys like you doing hillbilly heroin.

  49. Our system works best when each official and agency does their proper job and does not try to micro-manage other parts of the government.

    If the State of Illinois wanted the help of the President, the Governor could declare a state of emergency and formally ask for help. This is a mechanism provided for by law in cases where local conditions are beyond the power of a state to deal with, and the President is empowered to respond to such a declaration (if he chooses) by bringing the resources of the Federal government to bear on the problem. This is usually used in response to natural disasters, but can also be invoked in cases of civil unrest and extreme violence.

    Since the Governor of Illinois has not done this, it is safe to conclude that the State of Illinois feels they can handle the problem on their own. If any President were to interfere without being asked, that would rightly be considered an inappropriate intrusion into State affairs.

    Trump appears not to understand any of this. Neither do stoopid fucking wasicu wasteys.

    The data is easy to find; just google gun death by states. Take a look at this website:cdc.gov/nchs/pressroom/sosmap/firearm_mortality/firearm.htm. You will see that Alaska does indeed lead with the most gun deaths. Following closely behind and in order are Alabama, Louisiana, and Mississippi - all red states.

    Illinois ranks 35th among the 50 states. Chicago is in Illinois, in case you have forgotten. I suggest that you rightwingers clean up your own messes before crying about Chicago.

    This data is from the CDC for 2016. There is no data for 2017 or 18 because Trump shut down the CDC program for compiling and tracking gun deaths.

    Have a nice day.

    If someone did come along who threatened to ease the grip of the rapacious elite on the mass of humanity, don't you think he or she would be called all the things Trump is being called today?

    Stuff liberals believe:

    1. America is a racist, violent, gun-soaked hellhole of oppression and everyone deserves to come here.

    2. Colleges are cesspits of racism, sexism, misogyny and rape, and everyone should attend them.

    3. Social media sites are run by creepy data-harvesting mind control billionaires and only good-thinking people should be allowed to be on them.

    Obviously, you don't know much about how government works. Homicide is a state crime.
    Not federal, except I believe in cases in which the victim is a federal officer of some kind. But I"m not sure about this part. So President Obama would not be interfering in a state or city homicide problems unless invited by local officials.

    If you disagree, then why don't you write to Trump and see if he will do something about the gun-death rate in Alaska. It leads the nation in gun-deaths per capita?

    "I live in Philly, and I do a lot of criminal defense work"

    So Feeled is defending the specific people turning the former "City of Brotherly Love" into Monrovia West.  If he cared about the city he would be prosecuting them.

    "I understand the culture that creates this climate of senseless violence and depravity that is being played out in some of our inner city neighborhoods on a regular basis."

    But not that it is 100% black culture.

    And attributing it all to white people.

    Feeled is fucked in the head.

    "These urban terrorist who kill and create mayhem don't feel remorse or care about the consequences of their actions. They live for the moment."

    Feeled does not understand where low time preference comes from, which is not from Africa.

    "While they are here, though, getting a rep on the street and getting fast money is all they care about."

    If Feeled really cared about the future of the city and society, those who don't have remorse or any concept of consequences should be his first candidates to get a needle, breathe cyanide or ride the lightning.  He doesn't care enough to actually push for anything that would make a difference.

    "Last weekend in Chicago there were 33 shootings and 12 murders for all the reasons I gave you above."

    ONE reason:  blackness.

    "The racist trolls who like to point to these happenings as evidence of some type of dysfunction that is specific to the black community are having a field day."

    Oh, come on.  Those of us who dare to Notice have been having said field days for more than a century.  You prospered as long as Noticing was oppressed and ostracized by a certain (((tribe))).  Now that (((tribe)))'s control over The Narrative is collapsing.  Now is the time to deal with the truth... except you can't handle the truth.

    "The problem is, of course, that what happens in Chicago and cities like it is the end result of a problem that was created by a society that left out the have-nots, and is set up in such a way that only a few can succeed. The so called American dream will never be realized by many of these people and they know it. So what happens? The have-nots turn on each other."

    LOL!  You think becoming one of the "haves" changes what they are?  Your average NFL player is rewarded way beyond the 90% percentile of whites who consider themselves as achieving the American dream, yet they behave so badly we call it the Negro Felon League.

    What happened in Chicago is the end result of seeking cheap labor and dumping the social costs on the white population, combined with "equal rights" for the manifestly unequal and unable.

  94. Field,

    Are you following this Daniel Clary attempted murder on a cop trial?

    Since it happened last November, I don't know exactly why the TV News showed the dashcam video this afternoon. Man! That was a fucking shootout. Suspect Clary breaks free before he gets cuffed, he gets tased. It looks like it's all over for him then he gets back on his feet again, runs around the front of his car and reaches through the driver's window to grab a pistol. He shoots one of the officers who ends up diving over the guard rail to safety.

    He drives off, but of course... He gets caught.

    That's got to be the fastest action shootout I ever saw!

    'gun violence' is a semantically null locution - it contains no information. Guns are tools; people are (well, some are) criminally inclined. It has been ever thus. In the 19th century, the Irish committed most of the violence crime. In New York City, the Jews had a near monopoly on contract murder, culminating in the infamous organization, based in the Brownsville neighborhood of Brooklyn,called Murder Inc; I'm sure you have heard of it.

    Now the Negro male, five percent of the population, does over half of the violent crime. It was not always so, so why now? Why this? There has been no miraculous increase in raysism cine the Civil and Votin Rights acts It were passed. Blackmen need to cast out the evil among them. If not, the natrual reaction of the rest of us will be to arm; that cannot end well.
