"A weekend of gun violence within city limits left at least seven people dead and 46 others wounded.
Shootings reached a peak Sunday morning, when 17 people were shot in three separate incidents in Lawndale over a span of two hours, forcing Mount Sinai Hospital to stop accepting new patients."

Thanks, one of the shootings was like 7 blocks from me. But yeah I know which places to avoid.
Some neighborhoods here you enter them and it feels like you just entered a demilitarized zone.

There is legit a gang called "The Chicago Gaylords". That's gangsta.
The "Black Disciples" commit a lot of murders. They're in uptown and all throughout the southside too.

I wish these young black men would see their value, understand their worth, and stop this senseless violence.
They should be hugging each other, building each other up, and exploring the limits of their knowledge and education. Instead, they use their brain power to do terrible things which only harms their communities and families. They keep themselves in perpetual poverty. If every single one of them decided to throw down their weapons and immediately embraced each other as brothers working to raise their families to a better place, they'd see their communities become better than most in less than 10 years. We know it's possible because Tulsa had Black Wall Street (had better schools, better healthcare, and better income than the white neighborhoods).

Your Lord knows very well what is in your heart. Your soul suffices this day as a reckoner against you. I need no witnesses. You do not listen to your soul, but listen instead to your anger and your rage.
Notice I didn't take any offense to it...cuz ya know, reality and all.
