| 2018-08-01 |
| [Hot Air] Gang violence and crime in the Windy City have not gone away under Rahm Emanuel’s leadership, though some progress has been made in specific categories of crime. Still, the endemic problems are enough to have altered the lives of many of Chicago’s residents, seemingly in a permanent fashion. The local CBS outlet looked at the effect this has had on some families and discovered some truly heartbreaking stories. In Lawndale, on the City’s west side, some parents report that they’ve become so desperate that they’ve taken to "hiding their children" rather than risking their being injured or killed in the act of simply playing or enjoying a normal childhood. |

| #2 The answer, of course, is to crack down even harder on law abiding citizens who could defend themselves. /sarcasm Or maybe they should ban plastic straws. |
