    I left Chicago in 2016..born and raised I said to myself I have a young son to raise he is innocent and does not deserve to live in such a place of gangs etc. I've never looked back.. Praying for all the families that lost someone in Chicago's voilence...I pray for you.and it's up to you to make that change after so many tragedies..I wanted to see my son grow up in a better place.So I made change.God bless.🙏🙏

      Good for you! So sad our cities have been taken over by such human trash! If this country was a kingdom and i was the king anyone found to even JOINED a violent gang would be imprisoned until arthritis wouldn't allow them to fire a gun. I'm so sick of all this i could puke.

Not trying to be a downer or anything, that's just the vibe I get sometimes. It just comes down to probability. 😔

    I have never left a CZcams comment in my life. I am a 5th generation law enforcement officer that also happens to be a gunsmiths kid, a navy brat, and the proud grandson of a us Marine. I've been working on the job in one form or fashion for 10 years. I KNOW the fear that comes from a voice on a talking box telling me to go somewhere that actively has a weapon present, or the fear of the words shots fired being yelled out of the same device, but none of that is as bad as hearing gun fire accompanied with people screaming and knowing I have to run towards it. The argument gun or no gun is a no brainer, no gun would be safer....... now with that said lets step out of the time machine and back from 1775. Because that is the last time the statement may have done any good. We live here and now where the criminal element can and will get firearms as needed. We can't take it back and all control does now is prohibit law abiding citizens from facing things that go bump in the night. Mandatory training and safe handling. Period. Real training. If you give a hungry man a fishing pole he may still starve, regardless he will most likely mess up your fishing for the day but with the pole give him some instruction and we all eat. The rest is just arguing over choices that can't be unmade.

      Chris Fulton If someone points a gun at you, and you have the capability to defend yourself at their expense, you should take it. If someone points a gun at you, they waive their rights of being treated with civility. Simply, if someone points a gun at you, it's not morally wrong to kill them. If someone pulled a gun on me, naturally I'd take whatever steps necessary to preserve myself, even if it's at their expense, if I have the capability. If a cop pulled a gun on me, my reaction would depend on the circumstance and my options, or which options I could create (likely there r not many in that situation).

    If someone pointed a gun at you and you also had one would you just stand there and get shot or would you protect yourself? It shouldn't be a shock if a police officer or anyone shoots a person that is threatening there lives especially with a gun. That's why I don't understand some of the incidents where people are so outraged over the police shooting a person aiming a gun at them. How can you be mad and blame it all on the officers when they are not the only ones armed. It's kinda hypocritical like saying it's not ok to protect yourself but it is ok for someone to put your life in danger. You would expect those same officers to protect you if your life was in danger. You can not say a person aiming a weapon at someone is innocent and the officer has no reason to shoot if the suspect is not innocent and is the reason the whole situation is happening. Come on that makes no sense. What also makes no sense is for all these babies out there that get caught in the useless unnecessary gun violence. Our country needs to do way better and needs to work together. My prayers go out to all who lost actual innocent loved ones.

I have a really simple fix for the problem and that's PEOPLE NEED TO GROW UP AND GET JOBS AND STOP BREAKING THE DAMN LAW. People who have been in and out of jail due to their own stupidity can not blame cops or anyone else yet it's mostly those same people who hate cops so much. Stop fucking up and doing shit that put you on law enforcement radar and we may not have as many issues. No it is NOT all about race either if it were then every person of color that were shot would have absolutely no criminal record at all but that's not the case and when a law enforcement agent sees that the person has a criminal background they are going to understandably take extra precautions no matter the race.

Is it common for the mold to be broken? No. But it can happen, and to say it is a done deal is false. Take Ben Carson for example. All it would take is for a responsible parent to realize that maybe their kids would do better moving to a rural area instead of continuing to live in the gang-infested ghetto of Chicago. There is government housing outside of urban areas, too. Better schools too.
      Unless you're telling me there are absolutely zero responsible parents in Chicago? The lies that impoverished people in America have *no* chance to succeed in any way because of their ancestry or skin color are propagated by people who want to maintain the status quo.

Unless you are completely perfect (which you're not cause you are not above god and only he can judge), do not pass judgement on someone else.

Anyone who promotes this or chooses this life for themselves/others is much to all of the reasons why those who came before us, who fought, bled and even died so we may have something in life...their work and even death has become in vain. We should be ashamed we decide to allow our weaknesses to rule and lead us. We should be ashamed we willingly chose to be apart of our people's/communities destruction. We should be ashamed we willingly chose to become poor role models for our children, poor partners for their mothers etc regardless of the consequence. We should be ashamed to believe we should be seen for anything other than savages that's not worthy of their freedom/life. We should be ashamed to not want to be a part of the solution of our world, but instead we choose to be a part of the problem. I can go on about us as a people and no one can stop me with the facts that prove the opposite. Unfortunately I'm right, and that's what hurts the most. Remember, it's never to late to change...I did and I love the result. I am the opposite today of everything negative I mentioned, and will continue to be so. Everything is still a choice, good or bad. We choose how we're going to play out our days no matter how much influence is present. Being strong for loved ones/self is challenging, but needed. It takes courage/strength to lead family and self in the right direction. Stop following death to your grave and the grave of others. I chose life, because my family and I are worth living for, and yes if I can change...anyone can change...peace!

    Dudes, I'm an Aussie, we don't have guns. USA has SO many problems b/c of the 2nd amendment.
    We had a buy back way back in the late '90's. Here a person must have a firearm licence to possess or use a firearm. Licence holders must demonstrate a "genuine reason" (which does not include self-defence) for holding a firearm licence and must not be a "prohibited person". All firearms must be registered by serial number to the owner, who must also hold a firearms licence and you cannot have a criminal record or a mental illness to get one. You gotta get rid of the guns.

      Yeah, ok. You have over 250 000 illegal guns in circulation, your buyback cost millions and did nothing. Gun homicide rates were in decline before the buyback, and haven't changed a whole lot since. Gun suicides went way down, but suicide by other means went up. The facts about Australias buyback and its effect are a myth as reported in numerous unbiased study groups.

      @@lornes7526 & @thuggoe, Ok, so, your average Aussie in the big cities, Melbourne, Perth, Brisbane, Sydney, Hobart, Adelaide, (ACT), does NOT own a gun. The exception is the farmers, who may need to euth' animals due to high costs of vet bills + their isolation from veterinarians. Hunting?? Whoa! That's a VERY TABOO subject. In the cities, people DO NOT TALK ABOUT IT bc they would be judged VERY harshly, (Unless we're talking about bogan scum bags, & no 1 respects them, anyway). Did you know that 12% of our population is vegetarian, and that this trend is growing? May I ask if you are an Australian, btw?

      so you watch a video seeing how destroyed and scared these families are and you have the audacity to call it whining... you think the reason they dont say anything to the police is because they are scared they will get killed too if they do so? stop being so ignorant these people are living in a war zone and you call it whining

      lee graves how about after the great migration whites moved to suburbs while blacks were contained in project housing propagated as Utopia compared to the slums they were initially​ greeted with and the jobs they came for left with the whites once they were all gone they tore down the projects and allowed a damaged people to enter an empty inner city. people like you will get your time
