Mod, please delete these posts. It's offensive on so many levels.

The only person on this entire board that I get offended by is you. First off, you don't even live in Chicago, yet you often try spreading your condescending opinions about this city. Nearly every one of your comments is some sort of social agenda post about how the city hates poor, immigrant, LBTG, or black people. Second, many of those people leaving these neighborhoods are thrilled to leave their poverty, gang, and violence stricken neighborhood. They don't want to live there. Finally, your post is wildly inaccurate. Chicago has gun control. It is quite difficult compared to the rest of the country to buy a legal gun. Additionally, Chicago and Illinois have no private for profit prisons. In fact, Tom Dart has demolished 3 buildings at cook county jail. Possession of marijuana is no longer a criminal offense. If anything, way too many VIOLENT offenders are being let out of jail due to dropped charges, plea deals, and lax judge sentencing. Violent gang members are often back on the streets in weeks after committing violent crimes, including shootings. Who do you think is committing all of these shootings?
