Chicago, au coeur des gangs et des ghettos

Watching videos like this make me so grateful for the life that I have.

I didn't even realize I had PTSD until I got older. Seeing ppl shoot at other people. Running into the house to get away from gunshots, my grandma having us sleep on the floor in case bullets come through the window, seeing ppl laying on the ground, down the street behind yellow tape, seeing gang initiations happen where a group of ppl beat one person bloody like they wanted them dead as oppose to joining, and the screams of mothers and loved ones seeing their family member laying there, have all been imprinted in my mind. Being only about 7-8 years old, it definitely affected me in a bad way. I had to join a little peewee gang that lasted till about 6th grade, just so my two older brothers and I wouldn't have to fight every single day, just to keep our shoes, book bags, and money. We were just sick of fighting and we knew that being with a group would help. It solved the problem for bsure. Thankfully, we made it out and didn't progress to a level where the older kids started usin guns. I thank God for that everyday.

I was raised in this area over 65 years ago and the area has really changed

Things will never change until they stop blaming everyone else for their problems and start owning up to their behaviour

You know it's bad when people have PTSD just from taking their kids to school

I visited Chicago once and ended up lost since I'm not used to big cities, I'm from a little back woods town in Virginia.. Well I ended up in Southside, didn't think much of it at first, just thought it was another part of the city, well I soon found out I was on the wrong side of the tracks when I rode up the road in a neighborhood filled with guys standing outside, eyeing my car down, holding guns... I had never seen that before, so I kept driving and idk how many RIP signs I passed on the walls, it was like one after another.. so I finally made it to a little convenience store in Englewood and my friend got out to ask for directions while I sat in the car, next thing I know a bunch of guys in red came up to the car and watching me, probably wondering why a little white girl was over there... Next thing I knew I heard a ton of gunshots ring out from idek where and the guys took off running through an alley, I ducked and covered myself in the car, and then my friend ran out the store with the clerk to make sure I wasn't dead, he yelled saying asking why she would leave me out there by myself! But we didn't know how dangerous it really was... Thankfully he gave us directions on how to get out before anything else happened. I told this story because just being in that situation just one time literally scarred me for life, I can't even begin to imagine how scared the people who live there must be and how much they have witnessed and encountered 😢 After personally seeing all the RIP signs tagged on the walls it breaks my heart for their families

I like how the gangs are considerate and live in the next street from each other so they dont have to travel too far for their entertainment.

Damn ! !!!600 gangs. C'est pire que le far West.finalement la vie en banlieue parisienne est très agréable.

Pauvre petit Jayden. Souhaitons une vie meilleure pour lui et sa famille

Been to some of those neighborhoods, and I swear to God, I had to pray each time to make it out alive. As a Chicagoan I never feel safe everywhere even night time near Mag mile

That year was legendary for a lot of drill rappers who are still alive and dead. I love watching these old footages because it gives history behind Chicago gang scene and music.

Merci pour le partage

C’est quand même dingue les mecs font partir de gang est pleure quand il se font tirer dessus mais ils s’attendent à quoi ? T’es dans un gang tu sais que la mort te regarde dans les yeux tous les jours.

The fact that most of them are young because the others are dead or in prison is so sad. The cycle goes on and on. The fact that parents that do wanna move out of these cities to save their kids can't even afford to and barely have any support to help them do so is even sadder. The fact that you could just be walking on the street, you happen to cross paths with other gang members and that's your life on the line. Some even have cousins or brothers or childhood friends in rival gangs thus causing them to never even speak to one another again.

Quelle triste réalité de la vie😭😭😭😭que Dieu leur vienne en aide🙏🙏🙏

Merci bcp pr le partage 🙏🙏

I gotta admit, the best part of this is that the ads are way louder than the actual video

It's hard to imagine that these people don't have to work and all of their bills are paid for them along with food and everything else and they still can't get shit right???

The same ones that are saying they can’t believe this is happening are the same ones that are wanting revenge the next night
