Peterike,
Perversely, the fact that crime went up in the abandoned ruins proves the system worked.

The smart, law-abiding folks who took their chance to skidaddle left behind the not so smart ones who didn’t. That the hanger’s on’s, who, incidently, are of all races, resorted to perpetrating crimes on each other after the exodus indicates something about Darwin’s theories, primate behaviors and feedback loops, if you ask me.

I say, give the good folks in the old cities one more chance to make a move, before their rusting manufacturing base dissolves and they attain the 50% unemployment statistic of a district of Gaza. The writing is on the wall.

Then, what next, after the exodus? Heck, Chicago’s already got its own Hyde Park Arafats and their “White-Satan”-spewing mullahs. Seems like they’re off to a winning start if they want to mimic a Hamas-ian government model.

Maybe if we ask real nice, the EU will subsidize the Chicago’s next ‘humanitarian’ project.
