A story on the gang problem here in Cedar Rapids where they interviewed two of my friends. The one with the unmasked voice is one on my roommates (the liars said they were gonna mask his voice but they didn't!)

Ah, Cedar Rapids, home of the gas station everyone loves to riot by, RoadRanger!

A new slogan for Cedar Rapids:

High taxes, high crime, bad roads-a little piece of the Third World in Iowa!

&yea im not tryna clown on iowa or its people its actually a great place to live especially if u come from a poor, corrupt city like chicago. (dun get me wrong i luv da city but it has one too many flaws!). i know alot of yall out here came from da chi 2 and we should all be looking for something btr not fucking up da good that we bin blessed with. keep shit nice n clean so them corrupt suits cant pin u wit charges! well take it for wat its worth i jus dun think that lifestyle is worth it now.

@Nique52601 chill out dude, i was just addressing cedar rapids i never been to burlington so honestly cant say but most ia towns all the same, davenport is about the only1 that sticks out significantly. i didnt say u fake cuz u from ia if thats wat u gettin at ok i bin to some rough cities like chicago, st louis, kc, detroit, these are places with 'gang problems' not C.R. just cuz theres a few wonabe idiots runnin round causing trouble the media blows it up like its so much worse then it is lol

The solution to this problem is that there is no solution. Most people are just too

cowardly.

I been everywhere in cedar rapids including the SE side and there really aint much poppin off. yeah it aint necessarily nice by any means but it definitely aint no where along the lines of having a "gang problem" ! the closest cities in iowa that could even be considered for having gang problems and high crime rate are davenport and waterloo. Everywhere else in iowa is sweet.
