That's odd, I've lived in the Chicago area for over a decade and had zero problems with "thugs" bothering me. They didn't bother me in Lakeview, they didn't bother me in Rogers Park, they didn't bother me in the West Loop when it was peppered with vacant packing plants and long-empty industrial buildings. Didn't bother me on the South Side going to Midway or to the MSI. Didn't bother me on the *scary* Green Line or the Pink Line or the Red Line.
Yes there is crime, yes there is gang activity. You know where else they had that? Lincoln, Nebraska where I lived right before moving to Chicago.
But thank God the wholesome burgs of Western Nebraska don't suffer such "thugs" like big, scary Chicago does. What's that, they do?

Maybe we'd all be safer in wherever it was they robbed those people's house while they were at the funeral?
Anywhere you find enough humans you'll find crime. INCLUDING police forces. Some people are good and some people are ******. How many of you have ever worked even ONE job where there wasn't a guy you had to work with who was a total piece of ****? Well they have that when you're a cop, too. Except their total piece of **** gets a gun and a badge. What's hard to imagine about that?
