Possibly. I could also argue that a focus might be the safety of those out shopping, dining, etc. Obviously the areas with the heaviest gang on gang crime would have the highest crime. Not diminishing the concern in those areas, but the focus might be to protect the safety of the tourist and high traffic areas.

Shame on our intelligence for not convincing YOU before they struck!

I've experienced gang activity in the Loop, River North and Old Town, especially late at night.

I don't think I said it was "bad", but rather "par". And maybe most importantly, not "new" but but but the innocent people on this boat I generally agree. Do you think someone on this boat was innocent?

This is hardly new. How many people did Obama dronestrike? According to the Bureau of Investigative Journalism, a total of 563 strikes, largely by drones, targeted Pakistan, Somalia, and Yemen, killing between 2,581 and 4,013 people, including 384 to 807 civilians. The Council on Foreign Relations reports 542 drone strikes, with an estimated 3,797 total deaths, including 324 civilians. The Obama administration's official figures, released in 2016, claim 473 strikes in non-war zones killed between 2,372 and 2,581 combatants and 64 to 116 civilians, though these numbers are criticized as undercounts by human rights groups.

I have no hypocrisy on the Epstein files. I wanted them released 15 yrs ago. The reasons for not releasing them must be bad, really bad (or is it good, really good?).

Then the Ravens need to do better this year. Quit making stupid choices.

Good for him. Tough job that budget

so taxing us for somebody's perceived charity? I think we tax us for our basic services and then anyone that wants to give charity is free to give to any and all charities of their choice

legally, and for tax purposes, there is a difference between primary residence and principal residence

Is the crusade against trans people or evil lefty policies? The issue here really is that you and I have differing views on how we help these folks. Significantly differing views.

I don't think anyone is suggesting emotional health isn't a thing. Puberty is normal and natural and it's critical that children experience it and learn to cope, largely by coping with, well, puberty. You don't treat mental health with a knife and puberty blockers. Puberty is a natural and most important growth that we all need to experience, learn and grow from. Clinical phycologists are quite clear on this.

The difference between Jennings and most of the rest is one thing. Simply one thing. Common sense.

I don't blame the kid at all. I blame the liberal policies of drugging and mutilating our kids. I blame the liberal policies of affirming, rather than treating, a mental condition. I blame liberal policies of ruining women's sports.

You asked me to tell you how Jesus would feel or what he'd think. I can't speak for Jesus. It's very simple for me. You can pharisee away all you want. Are you against all prisons? I support protecting my sons, daughters, family, as well as all of your sons, daughters, family. If I've failed Jesus by doing and supporting that, I believe he'll guide me through my prayerful reflections on how I support protecting you and I. If not, my judgement day will come.

I don't have the authority to speak for Jesus

you really want to make everything about trump

You interpreted sherpa's comments as a defense of trump?

Now? This shyt has been going on for 25yrs

Bigger need is defensive secondary

As long as we don't need any twos or threes we'll be fine

Is there anyone on this board that doesn't want the full release of the Epstein files?

and peace is the very last thing zelensky wants

slightly above my opinion of putin
