BF,

I think I asked you this before. Since the gang culture is so deeply entrenched in Chicago..what is causing this violence?

It seems as though that kind of violence would be associated with a city that is just being taken over by outside gangs rather than a city with gangs that are literally 40-50 years old.

Is it a case of groups splintering off or alliances shifting?

Did the feds topple the top dog gang and now smaller gangs fighting for the crown?
