Chicago Gangs Protect Against Looters

[Dale00]

Mob rage and standdown policing leads to this sort of ugliness. Sad that so many are blind to the consequences of the bad leadership we are seeing in major cities.

In the absence of elected leadership and in the face of police standing by and watching looting in Chicago, Latin gangs are protecting their local businesses and running would be looters out of their neighborhoods. It’s hard to fault them for it, but do we really want street gangs acting as law enforcement?....
...Create a vacuum, and it will be filled. In Chicago’s Hispanic neighborhoods, the Latin Kings and other street gangs are reportedly stepping up and doing what their elected officials and police departments have not been able to do: protecting their neighborhood businesses from arsonists and looters.

Good on 'em.
Us "crackers" may have to resort to the same tactics.

total chaos.... felons walking around with guns "protecting" and not even worried about the cops.... our nation is in for a very rude awakening if this is what they would rather see then an armed police presence....

Should those neighborhoods expect anything less? Afterall they have been paying the gangs protection money all these years. It's time for those gangs to step up and provide the service.

Lawless policing the lawless.

War lords of Somalia come to mind.

The Latin Kings need to charge more. The businesses were paying the kings for protection from the kings. Now they are protecting from all the other gangs.

At least they are keeping the body shops in business.
