Armed security at gas stations now to prevent car jackings & 185 car jackings so far this year. How do normal people still live in that city?

The Chicago Police Department has a Carjacking Task Force and hopefully they will put a dent in the following numbers. This time last week, there were 144 carjackings. Now, that number is up to 185.

"With all the carjackings and everything going on, it makes my neighborhood feel a lot more dangerous," said Englewood resident Jainna Williams.

Security teams from Kates Detective Agency are now manning gas stations in Englewood, hoping to make carjackers rethink who and where they target.

Williams says the carjackers are in her age group and many of them are fearless.

"People don’t care, they will shoot anybody. They are killing kids, elders, senior citizens," she said.

Using information from CPD, security officers will go to gas stations in hot spot areas for carjackings. They will monitor 5 to 6 gas stations per day.

Early walker from "I’m Telling, Don’t Shoot" and owner of W&W Towing is behind the "Operation Safe Pump." The goal is to eventually have a security presence at 50 locations

Good thing the puppet on the whitehouse shut down keystone and drilling on public lands.  Greater government I. Olvme t and higher unemployment usually lead to lower crime rates.

Believe it or not, Groot is not the (major) problem with this.  It's the State's Attorney, a Soros-backed prosecutor named Kim Foxx. Sound familiar?

No juvie jackers charged as adults in two years! (this popped today)

This.  If we redistribute enough money from hard-working Americans to the poor, they will stop robbing and killing.  We will call it "distributive climate change justice".

Crazy, although the rise of private security has been happening on the east coast for some time and with the defund the police movement it will be more prevalent the longer that goes on.

True but the "teens" know the security guards have even less authority and power than the Police so they just ignore them and the security guards know $12 an hour isn't worth getting killed over so they just turn the other cheek and in the end nothing changes.

Arresting car jackers is racist, but letting the city go feral leads to poverty, which is racist. Major dilemma they have there.

Seems like the "teens" are just redistributing some wealth.

They should put social workers at the gas stations, not security or cops.

I've read of cases where the angry urban youth shot the driver after realizing their racist manual transmission would impede their forced reparations.

The bosses are coming down on us to actively "stop" the carjackings .   Every day in my district we hear of more.  Nothing is happening to the offenders.  The courts let them all go.  We can't chase fleeing vehicles so most of the offenders , knowing this, just drive off on us.   It's a clown world here.

Find the youtube channel Bloody Chicago and find his videos on the most dangerous neighborhoods.  It is very interesting and the guy does a good job.  He is a free lance journalist.    Small town people do not realize how violence can be in neighborhoods that never overlap with your neighborhood.

I used to fly into Midway regularly to go to South Bend.  Always had to buy gas in Chicago on the way back to Midway.  I'd make whoever was traveling with me get out of the car to watch my back.  This was 4-5years ago, it was sketchy as hell then, I can't imagine what it's like now.

This isn't really news, been going on for years. In The 80s I remember security at gas stations, especially shit neighborhoods like the one in the story.

I grew up on the Southside of Chicago. Back Of The Yards. My dad worked for C&NW railroad then Union Pacific railroad at Cal Ave yards but he was a bad "functioning" mean drunk so we had little money growing up. He is cleaned up and 35yrs at the railroad (miracle) he receives a nice pension.
My mom died of heroin when I was 13.
Our school had Chicago PD stationed there, metal detectors and bars on windows. Us white kids would battle the black kids daily (late 80s early 90s) our block was all Polish, alot of Polish speaking folks around. Blacks never dared come around, same with us going to a black neighborhood. They would ride through once and awhile with a few cars full at night hoping to catch someone off guard. That was back and forth, really.
Neighborhood is not the same as it was when I was there.
I graduated (miracle) joined the Navy and only been back a few times. My wife is an Sicilian Northside girl from Ravenswood neighborhood. So we go there to see family..

What neighborhood?
My wife's cousin is a Cook County deputy on the counties drug task force. Kicks doors daily. He's a blast to hang out with, no fucks to give.
We went to little village, spaulding I think; to get some bad ass burritos, a whole corner of gangbangers were staring us down. Cousin made a call and we sat there at burrito joint as 7 squads rushed in, lined up the whole corner of bangers and found their dumpster stash. I was impressed.
Latin Kings might have the numbers but the police and sheriff's dept are the strongest.

My wife's aunt is an old Sicilian lady who owns a three story flat in Humboldt park. She refuses to leave the neighborhood.

In ways I miss Chicago

I work south.  But don't let any sheriff fool you.  Doors are not kicked daily.   They are mostly soft knocks, no answer and officers leave.   If a hard knock happens and someone is arrested , they'll be out within weeks if not days.  Almost no charges.  Noone held .    The police now a days are definitely not the strongest.   They've essentially castrated any resemblance of real policing.      Most of , not all, of the cpd officers showing up to help your buddy don't wanna be there or have anything to do with it.  They help out because of the call for help of a sheriff officer.
