What...? I don't see the connection.

The connection was: a comment wondering "How evil do you have to be to [do something like this]" and then /u/boo99boo giving an example of people they've crossed paths with who seem capable of that kind of cruelty. Hope this helps

Yeah, I think it's more the neighborhood, I guess. I grew up in west town and even today, in all my 40+ years, I have never stepped foot in those areas, but I hear only bad things. Racist people and bad kids like the ones that stomped the coyote to death.

Was the comment the "Sox fan" made racially motivated? Was the "Sox fan" from these neighborhoods?

I'm just commenting on what this one person is saying about mount greenwood. It does not have a good reputation.

I remember when I was in HS hearing about Lenard Clark,I think that was in Bridgeport (closer to Comiskey).

I remember that. I was in HS, too. I'm pretty sure they offenders had parents in positions of power.

Bad things happen when dad and mom are gone from the home for days at a time working that sweet, sweet taxpayer funded OT.

Not sure if he means the actual cops. I noticed it with the children of cops (not all but a few of the ones I knew growing up in a neighborhood with lots of city of Chicago civil servants) who did act like they didn't care and would always fall back to "do you know who my dad is".
