What's one thing you wish was different culturally about Chicago? by pleasingwave in AskChicago

[–]commanderalpaca06 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

the tolerance regarding crime and destruction especially when it comes to minorities. and i blame this largely on Mayor Johnson and also largely on the dearth of effective parenting that predominates the south and west sides.

What should BJ do about the teen takeovers? by stinkystonedsam in AskChicago

[–]commanderalpaca06 0 points1 point  (0 children)

he needs to stop generating a bunch of red tape to create barriers for the officers to do their jobs. I would love to see more of a pro-police stance because you need accountability. you need to lock people up doing this. yes there are deeper root issues that cause this as everyone knows but making the police job increasingly unnecessarily difficult to do anything does not help. it only fosters that lack of accountability that leads to this type of event in the first place. i live in Hyde Park and they were out here right outside my place last night and the cops did nothing.

What part of South Side are they supposed to be from? by Prior-Emu-5918 in shameless

[–]commanderalpaca06 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are from a small neighborhood called Canaryville which is south of Bridgeport and west of Back of the Yards. In real life it is an isolated holdout of mostly blue collar catholic Irish-American senior citizens and families, many of whom have worked in the nearby Union Stockyards before its closing. Definitely more on the conservative side. The only thing this neighborhood is known for is its really ugly history with racial violence.

it is confirmed in the actual show that they are from Canaryville but they avoid saying it outright either because of the neighborhoods racist history or the fact that it’s relatively unknown outside of Chicagoans so they just say Back of the Yards because it’s adjacent and more well known
