WHY ARE DEMOCRAT MONOPOLY CITIES SUCH CESSPITS OF VIOLENCE? BBC Video: The Lost Streets of Chicago:

Another rapper who goes by Bo Deal tells the BBC, “I never seen so many guns, like, we had a lot of guns but I never seen so many guns like now…ever.” He adds, “Everybody got guns and they don’t got just little 22’s…when we was coming up it was 22’s, 25’s, 38’s now they got big guns and 30 shot clips and s**t.” But immediately after lamenting the guns and violence he adds, “I think that a lot of guys need to die to make it…make it better.”

One woman interviewed by the BBC says, “you can’t really come outside at night.” Not even small children are safe from the gangs’ crossfire.

Part of what’s I found interesting about this story is that it reveals some characters who are immersed in a lifestyle that is objectively horrible yet which also seems to hold a certain glamour for them. There’s a scene where Duwop gathers for a party to remember his friend who was recently killed. Then a moment later he’s filming a new video inside an abandoned house while teens wearing masks and holding rifles pose for the camera. It’s not clear where the line is between play acting and becoming part of the problem. Is Duwop reflecting his reality or is he profiteering off the chaos he’s supposed to be lamenting? Maybe he’s doing both. Either way it’s clear the violence and his chosen career are deeply connected.

After the video wraps up with a long helicopter shot of the city there is a final interview in which Duwop breaks down and seems to try to justify his own behavior. “We only doing this s**t to get out…This s**t ain’t normal, man. I’m forced to do this s**t everywhere I f***ing go, man. This s**t don’t end. This a never ending f***ing cycle, man. Ain’t no way out of this s**t.”

When will the SJW crowd go after the destructive and misogynistic elements of rap? Similarly, perhaps a “fundamental transformation” of Chicago is in order, considering that its last Republican mayor left office in 1931.
