Chicago is a Blue Warzone

Guest Post by Martin Armstrong

Mobs of hundreds of teens and young adults are terrorizing Chicago and burning their own city down. Former Mayor Lori Lightfoot permitted crime to take place. Mayor-Elect Brandon Johnson is another far-left politician who will do nothing to save the city. “It is not constructive to demonize youth who have been denied opportunities,” Johnson said to dismiss the atrocities these unattended teenagers commit.

Chicago has tough gun laws and none of these teens are legally obtaining weapons. The city has been overrun with criminals who wildly shoot into crowds and murder their neighbors and the cops are outnumbered. Curfews have not helped and SWAT teams had to be deployed over the weekend after multiple people and bystanders were shot.

Businesses are fleeing Chicago as fast as possible. Even Walmart is closing down 8 stores in Chicago amid countless thefts. “These stores lose tens of millions of dollars a year, and their annual losses nearly doubled in just the last five years,” Walmart stated. Whole Foods closed its Chicago location for the same reason. Target, CVS, Aldi, and Save A Lot have also closed locations in recent years because of crime. People are protesting outside of Walmart in Chicago, declaring that these fleeing businesses are creating food deserts.

They cannot blame corporations or gun control. The problem begins at home and is amplified by bad politicians. Johnson came out and said that these teens simply didn’t have the same opportunities as others. Does that make it ok for them to commit violent crimes including murder? How are hundreds of minors out at all hours of the night – where are their guardians? Chicago was once a popular business destination; it will quickly deteriorate into Detroit or Camden as a ghost city that never recovered. The businesses will leave along with the jobs they once provided.

Put bars on the windows of failed businesses and use those for jails. I wouldn’t let those fools build anything. I was in Chicago a few years ago during a rainstorm and the morons were striping the streets, in a rainstorm. On a Saturday to boot. Probably double time.

“Thank God my granddaddy got on that boat”
Better off? The point is illustrated by the great African American boxer Muhammad Ali. In the early 1970s Muhammad Ali fought for the heavyweight title against George Foreman. The fight was held in the African nation of Zaire; it was insensitively called the “rumble in the jungle.” Ali won the fight, and upon returning to the United States, he was asked by a reporter, “Champ, what did you think of Africa?” Ali replied, “Thank God my granddaddy got on that boat!” There is a characteristic mischievous pungency to Ali’s remark, yet it also expresses a widely held sentiment. Ali recognizes that for all the horror of slavery, it was the transmission belt that brought Africans into the orbit of Western freedom. The slaves were not better off—the boat Ali refers to brought the slaves through a horrific Middle Passage to a life of painful servitude—yet their descendants today, even if they won’t admit it, are better off. Ali was honest enough to admit it.“

problem with this kind of behavior, it is like a pebble tossed in a pond, it radiates out until it runs out of energy or is arrested. This behavior is a mindset, learned, allowed by others & tolerated. Don’t blame anyone but your governance and all the turn the other cheek bull out there.

Yes/no. Because its degenerates actively engaging in these behaviours that will destroy their own homes and resources. When they fan out like the ring in the pond, they will eventually get thinned out and meet, hopefully, some serious resistance and be halted.

They will/can only go as far as there is no resistance and on the resources they can steal. Which will limit their ability to maraude from the cities. Good reason of any to put some distance between yourself and a city. Easier to see them coming too.

This country has turned into such a disgusting shithole.I remember when I first went to Chicago in the early 1990s. It was nice in the loop ,Grant Park and north side. The west side and south side were where the animals stayed for the most part.I used to take my niece to the Taste of Chicago ,the museums etc. It all started to change around the late 1990s. People started getting robbed and assaulted in the,” good areas.” You would have to be insane as a white person to even go there now.

For two years 2017 to 2019 i flew to Midway, rented a car and drove to Gary. Never went to Chicago, never went to either baseball stadoums, nothing. Chicago is a shit hole city.

It took me two drives back through the southside to Midway at 430am for 630am flight to realize the risk. I took 10am flights home then on.

The Democrat/Communist teacher’s union steals their opportunity. They spend the same per student or even more than the rest of the state. The union demands and protects semi-literate low IQ individuals they insist be hired. My favorite is still a speaker at the CTU rally when Emmanuel was Mayor. “Rahm has gave….” Pretty much all you need to know right there. If they can’t pass the tests, eliminate tests. That is the position of this ridiculous fool Johnson they just elected. He makes Lori Lightfoot look intelligent.

1) blacks (12%) committed 537,204 violent crimes against Whites (90% of
interracial violent crimes).

2) blacks (12%) committed 53% of all homicide.

3) blacks (12%) were responsible for 93% of all riots.

4) New York blacks (24%) committed 60% of hate crimes against Asians.

5) New York blacks (24%) commit hate crimes against Asians 6 times more
than New York Whites.

6) New York blacks (24%) committed 80% of hate crimes against Jews.

7) New York blacks (24%) committed 71% of all hate crimes.

8) New York blacks (24%) committed 71% of gun-violence.

9) blacks kill blacks in 94% of the cases. The other 6% was due to non-
blacks (not just Whites).

10) blacks (12%) commit about 60% of robberies.

11) blacks between ages of 14-17 commit gun homicides at more than 10
times the rate of white and Hispanic teenagers.

12) Chicago blacks (24%) committed 80% of gun-violence.

13) blacks (12%) commit 40% of all cop killings.

14) A police officer is at least 18 times, and up to 30 times, more
likely to be killed by a black male than an unarmed black male is
likely to be killed by a police officer.

15) Over 70% of reported hate crimes have ended up being hoaxes.

16) And then there’s the truly defenseless: black women (6% of USA
population) commit more than 43% of abortions.

17) 70% of black children born to single women. (And guess who pays for
their house, food, clothes…etc.)

18) blacks (12% of the population) receive between 35-40% of all
welfare subsidies like TANF, SNAP, Medicaid, Section 8 housing…etc.

19) White Americans pay 75% of all federal income taxes while black
Americans pay 10% of federal taxes. That means while whites pay for
most federal programs, blacks get the most benefits.

People are protesting outside of Walmart in Chicago, declaring that these fleeing businesses are creating food deserts.

Exactly what I said would happen. But you can’t force a business to open where it doesn’t want to open. Well, I guess if Walmart wanted to open another store somewhere else the government could say for every store they open they have to put one in a “food desert”.

Or they can raise prices enough to cover the theft in loser stores. The blacks will protest and set fire to everything. I have a feeling this summer is going to be bad and next summer even worse.

Anyone see this one on Zerohedge yet?

Didn’t look but heard yesterday, if you have a down payment or a credit score of 680 or above, you will be taxed about $14,000 over the time of your mortgage to pay for people with bad credit to buy houses. We could spend hours discussing the economic illiteracy we are seeing from these communist scumbags.

The Vietnamese did a wonderful job of that back in the 70’s when they took over the shrimping business in LA. Several families would throw their money together to buy a shrimp boat, man it and repair it themselves and when they had enough profits, would buy another boat, continuing until they had a fleet.

Which would be turned on ‘conspiracy theorists’ and ‘vax deniers’ and ‘anyone who challenges us’, just a readily. Oh, wait, they already do.

Any answer that gives more power to the STATE is the wrong answer. Always.

The answer is to let the individual defend themselves. The only reason these feral animals feel safe doing this is they know that there is no threat to them for their actions. At worst, they might get arrested and let go the same night, charges dropped or small fine. One owner legitimately defending his property and shooting a few would put a stop to this quickly. As soon as the mob knew they faced real risk, they would evaporate.

This is Real Inflation. The price of real estate, material goods, and intangible assets required to maintain a buffer from the logical progression of the multi-culti progressive death cult. They used to call it the Unprincipled Exceptionalism Tax. But that was repealed by obama.

Places like Chicago and other cities that have been completely converged into the anti-reality are seeing those buffers erode faster than the wealth creation of the goodwhites who propagate those toxic notions can keep them in place.

Their ability to purchase the basket of assets required to avoid the natural outcomes of their unnatural anti-reality has collapsed. Social hyper-inflation takes over. The fiat currency of virtue signaling diversity is replaced overnight by Gibsmedat and economic whiteflight to safe and pleasant small towns that need more diversity.

The teens are just the carnivore canaries in the coal mine of the future is a brown female*. Luckily the solution is always to keep digging for moar coal.

*Not necessarily binary, but most definitely not a man.
