    Back in 1968, Chicago had some pretty severe riots. Little Italy is on the near West side of the city right next surrounded on two sides by very distinctively different communities. Many stores and businesses were burned and vandalized. Little Italy's shops and businesses did not suffer the same fate as other businesses. The demarcation line was quite distinct. It was understood that crossing the line would not be acceptable In the early 1970s I lived in a building with the Sicilian organization on the first floor. Never had to worry about anything.

      You saw the pictures I posted from D4? The ones with the local gangs setting up barriers to keep people out?

      The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

        But, but, but....those people are going to use violence, possibly deadly force to keep their homes and businesses safe. My God, they may even go Korean on them!
