Crime in Chicago

Just watched a video asking why Chi town has more killings annually by far than Afghanistan.
.
Easy question to answer
The Guatemalan, Colombian and Peruvian communities have skyrocketed in the 2000s, and some estimates give higher percentages.
[/size]The city's most populous ethnic group, non-Hispanic white, has declined from 59% in 1970 to 31.7% in 2010.

[/size]According to crime statistics, White's have a much lower murder rate than minorities.Not trying to be prejudice here. Just stating facts. So ! As the Caucasian population gets smaller and the minority population explodes (Esp. the ones from Drug Cartel countries) Only makes sense, murder and other crime stats. will increase.If not for Chicago being an Industrial hub in the world, it would already be another Detroit.

I have been to Chicago many times. Governors go to jail, and 1st term Senators get elected to president. Go figure. About 5 years ago, I was going there twice a week on business. I listened to news reports where a guy had broken into one house several times, and the last time, the home owner was at home, and shot the guy. Chicago prosecuted the home owner. Ahhh, the logic of lawyers. Change happens from within. What ever happens to Chicago, will be of their own doing.

I have relatives that retreated from that area for retirement. Living in the South I have never heard an equal to their racist rants about the place they lived. The focus of their rants were always hispanic.
One story that kind of tells how things have gotten in Chicago: A friend of their family, that the lady had worked for, for 30 years was traveling through downtown with his family. They had left a school function of some type. Stopped at a red light and their son was shot in the head. He was 13 or 14, was wearing the wrong color for the neighborhood. Wasn't even hispanic. Just dark complected, can't remember if he was Persian or Arab. They lived in a wealthy area and the kids were sheltered from the gang activity of Chicago. But driving an expensive car and the family wearing the colors of the school and being dark complected seemed to be enough to provoke a murder at a red light.
