I Grew Up in a very rough neighborhood on the south side Chicago. I wasn't a tough kid growing up wasn't cool. We where to poor for cool. My Dad had made a up his mind we were not going to live in the projects so he went into debt moving as far away as possible from the streets.... & That was about 10 City blocks from the bad part. Ten city blocks was a lot being ten blocks away from the danger zone on a Dead End Street kept me out a lot of trouble until I was old enough to travel 10 blocks alone. No place was ever really ever safe in Chicago.
Many say the inner city is impoverished because of crime but id like to submit this: There is a direct co-relation between Poverty and Crime everywhere on the planet....this co-relation shows that poverty creates crime, not the other way around. Some one has to be the have-nots and politicians decided that the lowest ring are people who don't look like them. It makes sense honestly. See I first learned about Crime in History Class although I didn't see it that way at the time.
First Chicago's history is steeped in it...Like drenched in it. Did you know Prohibition built most of the Chicago Skyline?
The Word Prohibition is a fancier way of saying Drug Dealer. Make no mistake Alcohol is a deadly drug the problem with it is The Wealthy, Politicians, and Police Love this drug so you better believe that got rid of that as soon as they found away to. Secondly before I Ever seen a drug dealer I wanted to be Capone, hell if you where a kid from anywhere in Chicago in the 90s you wanted to be Capone & Michael Jordan.
Crime was always Chicago, Drive bys - Yup That's Chicago as Deep Dish Pizza...they just did them on Ford -Ts with tommy guns. Hating the Police...That's Always been Chicago's Way. Hell the Majority Irish Police had been on Capone's Rivals Payroll Since Forever & they took over where Capone left off after he was Jailed for Tax Evasion. They are the largest Gang in a City of 10+ Gangs all originally modeled after Capone.
I high body counts...Please! Although I must point out Chicago's Numbers are down from the 90's and the politicizing of our death toll is a whole 'nother post...I Digress lol. Chicago has always been a friend to the murder rate...Even before the St. Valentines Day Massacre.
I Say all that to Say. Don't Judge the Chicago youth its not as bad as they say we are. Don't write us off were not as helpless and worthless as they paint us. Chicago is Capone's Gangster city, Where the politicians Mayor Richard Daily's Father... (Former Mayor Daily) wrote a book after prohibition detailing all the evil sideways things he did as a mayor during prohibition and got re-elected...oh yea the book was also a best seller. A city where police sell drugs and pimp prostitutes and Politicians are their biggest clients. Hey its Chicago.
I Myself Stayed out of Gangs. Never joined I learned from Capone...Doesn't matter if your family members are rival gang members all that matters is you love and respect each other. Tax Evasion...Never...Pay Em. Capone taught me Everything is for sell, so don't prohibit contraband find a way to sell it Legally. Jails and Crime is for suckers... The Rich Find a Way to Make Crime Legal. Look at history..
Steal a Country. No We Discovered it. Put ppl in Slavery. No We Saved Em from Freedom. Slave Wages destroy the Unions. No We Did what was right for Corporations. Crash every Market and Bubble while we Get Rich and Destroy the Economy. NO Its Called Capitalism. Destroy the Planet's Ecosystem... No We're Globalist.
That's Real Crime. I want no part of it.
But Hell I'm From Chicago So Sue Me if Idolize Capone...
