While Part 5 looks mainly at the suburbs and even travels as far south as Decatur, Illinois, Victor Maggio gives a parting shot at what was called "the City that Works" when the first Mayor Daley reigned.
"When you look real close at Chicago's most violent neighborhoods," Maggio comments late in this clip, "you see extremely violent crime taking place on a mass scale. And when you add in the economic depression, the vast areas of empty land where businesses and homes once stood, along with abandoned buildings everywhere you look. There are very few food options, high taxes, red light cameras, and police surveillance cameras and cops everywhere, it makes you feel like you entered a police state that is on the verge of collapse."
True that. And Maggio didn't even mention the Chicago's millstone, the pension bomb.
Also in the video is the tragic fatal police shooting of a mentally disturbed woman in Elgin who set her car on fire while she was sitting in it.
Warning: Obscene language, violence, and death.
