Chicago more dangerous than Afghanistan

Quote from denner:

The shootings grab the national headlines, but the bigger story is the huge uptick in random muggings and intimidation by large groups of youth's that pick a spot in a prime location in the city and just "take it over". They understand the power in numbers, so if 40 or 50 of them just congregate in one spot, it creates a real big problem.

Just take a look at how much trouble there's been in the "Gold Coast" or Lincoln Park. Those areas were pretty much untouched by this sort of stuff.

Kind of has a "Clockwork Orange" vibe to it.
Since most of these types of group disruptions are organized online, where is the NSA? Why don't they see this crap as it's being organized and send appropriate local police to handle it? Even if it were by telephone, the meta data should easily be able to pick up the pattern of the organizing of it.

If they are going to invade our privacy they had better show us a return on our investment.

I'll admit I am baffled by the shootings in Chicago, too....
Actually I was being facetious at the fact words on a piece of paper (laws) do not in any real way deter determined criminals. Severe swift justice and or the probability of armed resistance by their intended victims does produce results.

They're too busy spying on political adversaries.
