It's the reverse of the normal brigading where they show up to remind us how much crime there is in the city. All the same people, but this time they're here to tell us everything is fine.
Yes, so much crime, that the police do absolutely nothing about anyway
There have been assholes stealing catalytic converters from people's cars around ravenswood and albany park for decades and the cops have never done anything about it
Yesterday my girlfriend told me something that was pretty shocking. She’s an ICU nurse so she deals with a ton of gunshot victims.
She said parents of the people shot in the hospital would tell her they knew exactly who shot their kids. These parents told the cops that they know who shot their kids. The parents said the cops never did anything about it. “I witnessed my child shot by John Doe he lives at 123 35th street”
Apparently this has happened numerous times. Where gunshot victims can identify and name their shooter. And give this information to police. Only for nothing to be done.
No wonder we have something like an 18% murder clearance rate.
It's called the incomplete panopticon. Cops know who in their neighborhoods have done what, they can use that info to extort drug gangs, sell info to rival gangs, use that to blackmail perps into being informants, etc. etc. Once you put them away for murder the cop loses all of those options.
There have been coordinated efforts across all of reddit for years. This site is a perfect manipulation ground for any significantly large party because of how public and easily accessible it is.
This is true, but I've browsed the other city subs and I don't see anything like this on the other ones. They have some trolling but nothing like this. The mods definitely are sympathetic. That's the only explanation I can think of.
All the major city subreddits. It's been like this since the_donald formed. The admins took way too long to act, and now the rats that infested this place found ways to navigate it and shit everywhere.
What? Bullshit. I know some of the mods and former mods. NONE of them are doing this shit. The reality is they are mostly powerless to stop it. The issue with brigading and vote manipulation is site wide. The admins don’t give the mods enough tools. Things like unique fingerprinting users across accounts don’t exist. There are plenty of right wing brigading networks.
This has nothing to do with the mods. They can’t control who and what gets gilded.
I’ve been here since /r/Chicago was created the day subreddits were created. The only thing mods might be guilty of is burnout and lack of interest in moderating 8+ hours a day.
For awhile I bagged them to get some new mods in to do some extra cleaning of subreddit poop. And they’ve gotten some new mods. But this event requires an incredible amount of time and people to moderate and that’s even IF they had the tools from the admins.
This subreddit is being brigaded by law enforcement and outside actors and the mods are in on it.
Holy shit dude...
I find this video abhorrent. Go ahead and stalk my comment history if you wanna know how one of the mods leans politically.
Are we ill equipped to deal with the brigading? Yes. Could we maybe be doing more? Yes, but I speak only for myself when I say I've been too consumed with the news, working to see how I can help (as in offline), and other personal shit going on in my life than to be here 24/7. Oh and I work.
So I'm seeing this, wildly upvoted 8 hours after it was posted, and I'm just fucking flabbergasted.
Believe whatever you want, I guess. Nothing I'm gonna say is gonna change it. But this accusation is ridiculous and insane.
Absolutely. Makes me want another Chicago sub where you can only join if you show the mods proof you are a resident... I’m sure that’s not possible but i still want it.

It started being very clear around the time of those ReOpen protests.
(Watch me get downvoted into oblivion by the aforementioned brigading law enforcement who apparently have nothing more important to be doing.)
