The posters bring a visual and psychological ick factor to our streets. It’s simply not aesthetically optimal to have graphic photos like that everywhere: They’re not beautiful, uplifting, or inspiring, but are instead fear-inducing. After seeing them once, you don’t want to look at them again to absorb the negativity being broadcast. They send the message that Chicago is a dangerous place if, instead of driving, you dare to walk around – look what could happen to you!Read the full post on Grid Chicago here.

Some people do find those displays as too unnerving. I do not approve of them as well. They give a wrong impression as well on the streets of Chicago.
