And ~2% of the time an innocent life is tragically lost in the crossfire. The city wrings its hands for several days, and the newspapers are filled with op-eds about what we must do as a city to stop the killings, and then the killers just keep right on killing.
It's not that people aren't trying to reduce the violence in Chicago, it's just that nothing really seems to work. Ever. For over a half fucking century now.

Your schooling must really suck for the poor minorities. Europeans don't have such a discrepancy between bad and good schools, and they don't have the inner city gang shootings that America has. Now, get the program going. I don't think that would be acceptable in civilized countries to have open killings every day in the city. I would send in the national guard honestly, if the police can't handle it. Then focus on education, kids and jobs. 'Murica has problem mate. Why not just come to Europe and watch/learn. The blacks in Europe don't kill each other like they do in America.
