So I live in the Socialist Republic of Illinois, but I'm very near the WI border. Closer to Packerland than to Chicago really. A close friend is a Fireman/EMT for a fairly large, economically depressed area that most of use avoid going into, especially at night. He said that the first week or so of warm weather, and all shit hits the fan there. People are done getting drunk and beating their wives indoors, and they move to front porches and it just goes downhill from there. Those people have no respect, even for Firemen. My bud has been assaulted more than once. Good thing he's 6.5 feet tall, and despite his age, he's pretty damn fit. He's smacked more than once drunk asshole with his metal clipboard, and then held them until PD can show up and arrest them.
