River North
CHICAGO, Ll. (September 1, 2021)(CNBNews)—Chicago City crime in an area called River North has gotten so bad that people and workers refuse to go into the area after dark, according to the local media.
Two days ago a city pod video camera caught an attack on two white men by a group of blacks in the middle of State Street at 1:30 AM. The entire time the assault is occurring traffic keeps driving pass it like it is an everyday event. There is no police to be seen.
When the fight breaks out two black men start fighting with a white man. Out of nowhere, other black men appear and start circling the one white man like a pack of lions on a hunt. When another white man comes to that man’s aid, he is sucker punched and knocked out cold, left to lie in the street. As both men are unconscious others in the pack start kicking them and stealing their belongings. A few feet away, you can see pedestrians walking by, while others stand and stare, laughing as though it were just a normal night in the City of Chicago.
It is disturbing to think that this gruesome scene is playing out in Chicago, a major city of our country, and none of those watching it seems to give a damm. How and when did our so-called civil society become so uncaring, barbaric, and bloodthirsty? And, who in their right mind would want to visit Chicago today or any other major city like New York, or Philadelphia, knowing that an attack like the one in this video could happen to you in the blink of an eye.
Chicago Police statistics show 445 homicides have been recorded so far in 2021, compared to 446 during the first seven months of 2020. Those numbers are significantly higher than those recorded in 2019, when 290 people were killed in the first seven months of the year, representing a 53.4% increase.
What about nearby Philadelphia how many shootings in the so-called city of brotherly love since January 1, 2021. According to the August 23 Philadelphia Inquirer if you’re looking for ways to quantify the depths of the gun violence crisis in Philadelphia, there may not be many bleaker statistics than this: There’s only been one day so far this year — Jan. 2 — when not a single person was shot in the city.
Since then, nearly 1,500 people have been shot in Philadelphia, including 295 fatalities. At least 50 other people were murdered by an assailant who used a weapon other than a gun.
