TBox is an annual Christmas themed bar crawl that brings people from all over the country to Chicago. There is a shitload of underaged drinking, drug use, drugs sold, public intoxication, public urination, nudity, overdoses, a death or 2, robberies and daily forced entry into the event by dozens of young people.

It's more fun to be a victim

There will never be an effective vaccine. I'll never get one anyway.

You probably should. Any time there is a "get tough on" law, it finds a way to disproportionately impact the lives of black and brown communities. Look no further than our "War on Drugs".

Politicians with the help of the media created the narrative that black and brown communities used and sold drugs at rates higher than everyone else and the "middle class" and priviledged of all communities agreed that there should be a "crackdown"

Black and brown families were being hit hard by the loss of manufacturing jobs and the "War on Drugs" just about finished most of these communities. Our justice system even shredded the 4th amendment and looked the other way when crooked cops were planting drugs on primarily black and brown people. Why? Because big business and local governments were making a shit load of money for the right to disproportionately imprison black and brown people for the same "crimes" that whites were committing AT THE SAME FUCKING RATE.

Lollapalooza is an annual music festival that brings people from all over the country to Chicago. There is a shitload of underaged drinking, drug use, drugs sold, public intoxication, public urination, nudity, overdoses, a death or 2, robberies and daily forced entry into the event by dozens of young people. People bury drugs so they can use and sale them when they enter the event. In fact, the police used dogs this year to try to combat this issue.

The media doesn't make this a big issue. Eddie Johnson doesn't hold press conferences for any of the "problems" at this music festival. Very few arrests are made. There aren't loud questions being asked about the parents, the way the young girls dress and there is no plan to cancel the event. They rightly view it as kids being kids. That same level of grace wouldn't be extended if black and brown communities were doing the same.

The "get tough" crowd eventually change their tune decades later when they see the damage that has been done or it comes knocking at their front door. It's too late to reverse the damage by then. It's easy to yell "I don't care" about the results when there is very little chance that it could have a negative impact on your family or community.

There is not a damned thing wrong with people who are bull shitters.

Everyone would be treated equally.

If minorities happen to commit more of those crimes, so be it. If white people happen to commit more of those crimes, so be it. If purple quadrupeds happen to commit more of those crimes, so be it.

Everyone has a choice. For whatever reason you choose to make that choice, that's fine.

The penalty is the same.

The menstrual cycle changes among Hassidic Jewish women was something as well.

When has our system of justice ever treated everyone equally?

This is going to reach a head pretty soon.

We're in fantasy land, right?

This stuff will never happen so it's all hypothetical.

Nothing will be fixed or changed. Gun violence is just an accepted part of living in this country.

Yes it is.

When this is all over, which is not going to be for a while, Trump will be re-elected President.

For instance they were never taught that Columbus was a slave owner.

We need to ban guns altogether. Until then it will continue to be a mess.

Tasers work for self defense. 2nd amendment don't mean shit no more.

Many that is true, but an incomplete statement.

Any other amendments we don't have use for any longer?

It's certainly true that prison sentences are too long and draconian, but let's not imagine that the majority of black voters and representatives didn't support the crime bill in the 90s.

Thanks for asking. Third, Seventh and Ninth could use some revisions.

I don't think this is necessarily true, Nas. There are huge gatherings at parks (and a certain forest preserve) in Chicago and none of the people are white and they're free to party even though they break as many laws as they do at Lolla.

How do you fix it Brogue?

How about providing safe high quality education to all children from the ages of 4 to 20?

You need a holistic approach.

Trump condemns 'racism, bigotry and white supremacy' after weekend of mass shootings

For instance they were never taught that Columbus was a slave owner.

I don't think weed will fix this...

Takes the edge off.

I am not a legal expert, how many times do I have to say it?

The only way to solve inner city gun violence is to add significantly more guns to inner cities.

It's already easier to find a gun than a sandwich at Chicago Public Schools.

The migration occurred over share cropping not lynching.

To treat Hitler like something uniquely evil is giving into the cult of personality that enabled him to come to power. He was a wounded, damaged person who was in the right place at the right time. I don't think bringing him up in political discussions serves much purpose.
