Chicago, known as the Windy City in Illinois, has been constantly recognized for the violence going around. Former President Trump has claimed that Chicago is one of the deadliest cities in America, using terms as “hellfire city” or the “killing field”. Trump’s descriptions of Chicago frustrated multiple citizens from that city. Residents of Chicago are tired of the news constantly reporting on the violence only going on. The news only publishes about Chicago whenever there are big scandals or violence issues, and doesn’t give Chicago the recognition it deserves.
The news helps create this big imagination of Chicago being a dangerous and “ghetto” city all over social media. Residents argue that Chicago should be recognized for its large monumental buildings, culture, food, and so much more. The news doesn’t recognize the huge community that pulls Chicago together. They don’t highlight the protest that hundreds of residents attended, the protest on gun violence deaths, and how violence isn’t the only thing that happens in this city. Violence is the reason that pulls the whole community together, and that’s what creates the beautiful aspect of this city in Illinois, not just all the violence and hate around. Even teenagers around the city have done separate protests together to protest the violence going on in their city. The city of Chicago has been through multiple negative issues and violence, but residents see this as an aspect that pulls the community together into fighting for what’s right and defending each other during all the violence. Residents believe Trump is wrong for wanting to send National Guard and that Chicago doesn’t need an “imaginary bandaid” to fix the city because that isn’t just going to resolve all the violence issues, and Trump is just avoiding what they are actually asking to be changed to help Chicago become a better City.
