Safe Passages<\/a> is the plan rolled out this year to keep Chicago Schoolchildren safe – many schools are being shut down this fall because of the exodus of families from Chicago – this means children may be walking to a school further away, possibly crossing boundaries between rival street gangs.<\/p>\n

The Safe Passages program pays people in the Communisty $10 an hour, 5 days a week to stand along the designated routes to protect the children. Recruitment is done via Communisty Organizations, most of which are racially segregated.<\/p>\n

Monday, 5 people were shot along one of these safe routes (although that’s a red herring since school hasn’t started yet). This shooting is a bit more alarming than most<\/p>\n

The Uptown Baptist Church at 4600 N Sheridan was having its once a week homeless feeding program called “Let Jesus give you a free ham sandwich” [I made that part up]. I have since learned this area is “Conservative Vice Lords” turf. Being this far North and close to the Lake, it’s a bit surprising – but as whites and \/ or gays have been leaving the North Side, the neighborhoods are becoming more “diverse”. According to the city, three of those shot are men known to belong to South side gangs.<\/p>\n

The 50 or so street gangs in Chicago have aligned to two main alliances. I don’t know the specifics and whether they headed into enemy gang territory for a free meal, but it didn’t work out so well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
