I don’t know if it’s a lack of guns that makes Chicago a target so much as it’s a high profile blue city that’s been getting a bad rap for a long time. A lot of people who haven’t been there believe it’s a shithole. I live in Florida and work in Chicago. I expected a crime filled hellscape when I went there for the first time. It turns out it’s beautiful, a chill place, and you can walk down the street safely at night. I’m sure there are pockets that are really bad, but it’s not like you turn a corner and stumble into one. Meanwhile, you have cities all over Florida that are more of a dump, with drugged out zombies, hobos, crime, and crumbling infrastructure.
Came to Florida after a couple of years in Chicago. No, it was not what I expected up there. Hell, I worked on the South Side all the time, no issues. Though some of the black folks were clearly racist with me, most were great people.
We are getting the National Guard in Florida.
