Crime in Chicago

The crime rate in Chicago, although probably not comparable to Rio, is terrible. Perhaps the "powers to be" should fix that and stop worrying about the Olympics.

Truth be told, I bat about .800 when it comes to being Cassandra.

And I hate what the right is trying to do to my country right now and how when I look ahead it's only going to get worse.

the problem is you dont know what so the so called right is doing or not doing. you take the word of others to make that decision for you. fact is, conservatism is what this nation is built on. and if this nation gets worse, conversatives arent to blame this time......although theyll get blamed anyway with the help of the media.

you should be down on your knees thanking God that the right is stading up against the biggest pile of radical liberal nonsense this country has ever seen...and with all due respect, spare me the "my country" routine as most of us in here have family that at one point or another shed blood for us to be able to have the freedom to speak freely in "our country"

My God doesn't make death threats or threaten insurrection against the president. My God is not the God of hate. My God doesn't say it's okay to cheat on your wife as long as you claim you're 'saved',o ro give your wife divorce papers while she's in the hospital fighting cancer.

I was afraid when I returned to sowal this afternoon that this thread would take on the political, Obama disagreement once again. :cool:


Give me a break.

How much longer are you going to be blaming Bush for everything? Your annointed one and his wife made emboldened pleas for the games to come to Chicago (no doubt to repay favors to the corrupt Chicago political machine that helped get him where he is today) to no avail. Obama could not get the job done. Bush had absolutely nothing to do with it.

You were listening to Limbaugh today, weren't you? I accidentally had his program on immediately following the IOC announcement. He spewed much of the same rhetoric. (He's an awful individual.)



As an American I was hoping we once again would host of the olympics.

It was all to obvious the Chicago political machine was in pull play here. Im amazed that the president made it so obvious. He once again found out that words mean nothing in the real world, but actions mean everything. He couldnt negotiate his was out of a paper bag.

I saw a great piece lastnight about Rio that made think that Chicago was a given. Apparently, theres a huge shortage of hotels and the crime is rampant. Its said that if they are awarded the olympics, they will have to build walls around certain hoods to protect the athletes, etc.

Chicago is one of the safer large cities in the US. New Orleans has more crime by comparison. And Cleveland, Philly, Detroit. Should I continue?



rio. just heard they pulled it off too. good for them

amazingly enough, i think the crime in rio might actually be worse then chicago, if thats possible.

I heard stats this a.m. that Rio is #1 in violent crime in the world. The police actually kill 3 people per day for resisting arrests. :shock: There are sections where the police will not even attempt to enter. Paramilitaries rule most of the city.

I'd rather visit Chicago than Rio.
