Here’s something that people on the ground in Chicago are all freaked out about (but of course the media won’t report on it accurately and the police seem to be pretending that it’s not happening): is there a serial killer shooting at cars on the highway into Chicago similar to DC’s Beltway Sniper from years ago?
Whenever these shootings are reported on, the media seems to go out of its way to just claim this is random gang violence. But…if that was true then wouldn’t this have always been happening through the years? I find it hard to believe the gangs just decided recently to start shooting at cars when they never did that before. Why start this new “shooting at cars on the highway” thing…or missing each other and accidentally hitting cars (which is what the police try to claim is happening, but that makes little sense)?
Doesn’t it seem more plausible that a serial killer (or pair of serial killers, similar to the Beltway Sniper killer-team) is at work?
The Beltway Sniper was a two-person team working around DC in 2002. The serial killers in that instance turned out to be 42-year old John Allen Muhammad and his 17-year old accomplice Lee Boyd Malvo. Muhammad, a member of the Nation of Islam, was executed by lethal injection in 2009 for murdering at least 10 people in the sniper attacks. Malvo remains in prison without the possibility of parole. If you recall, the media tried hard at the time to pretend that Muhammad and Malvo were not serial killers either (especially after the media caught onto the connection to the Nation of Islam).
Here in 2016, it feels like the media and police want to try pretending these Chicago shootings are just random gang violence because that’s less scary than a serial killer who is hunting cars for prey (especially if it is a black shooter targeting white people driving to and from work in the city). I know plenty of suburbanites who are scared out of their minds over this…and they have stopped driving into the city as a result. Everyone here is desensitized to gang violence and white people in the suburbs figure that they will never be impacted by the black-on-black crime in the Southside that bleeds across the Tribune’s front page every Monday morning (what local tee-vee reporter Evelyn Holmes always calls the latest Murder-Death-Kills). But, the specter of a serial killer would get suburbanites’ attention in ways that would hurt all of the tourist-dependent entities downtown. Can’t have that just as summer fun season is heating up.
Even conservative outlets like HotAir fail to put the pieces together and see a serial killer pattern, not just random shootings. Why is that?
This is another example of watching a story being reported on completely opposite to what people who live here in Chicago are saying about it. It’s like being in Russia in 1980-something and reading Pravda or Iskra…or listening to Baghdad Bob during the 2003 invasion of Iraq, as he literally reported the exact opposite of what was really happening all around him on live tee-vee.
Have you noticed any of this?
What think you: is random gang violence more comforting a thought than the specter of a serial killer hunting in Chicago?
William Proxmire was an honest progressive who loathed government waste, and chronicled it. He was hated in his own party for pointing out that out.
In the Wikipedia article on John Allen Muhammad, I cannot find any trace of the homosexual activities between the two men. Does Wiki suppress the truth about some homosexuals?

I am surprised more of obammy’s people do not leave their particular Hood and go an upscale neighborhood to do their damage.
That has happened in my airpark.
Course if they do , real police units will get em.
In South Chi town, let em kill each other. No one gives a damn.
This was mentioned in one of the article’s comments. I don’t know enough about Chicago to interpret...
“I have thought this ever since I heard it happening in the same area between 95th and 111th on the Dan Ryan that it does not appear random. There have been 20 shootings since January on the expressways, mostly the Dan Ryan.”
At the heyjackass link,the Chicago neighborhood my grandparents lived in (from the 1920s-1970s) is on the 10 most dangerous neighborhoods list. Sad. My grandparents were immigrants (legal). It was a working class neighborhood of mostly Swedes and Poles. When the area started changing, the blacks who moved in were good, hard-working people. One of my grandmother’s friends was taking care of a severely mentally retarded daughter,then in her 50s. Her new black neighbors went to the store for her, mowed her lawn, etc., just as her white neighbors had. In the late 1960s, I took the bus downtown to pick up medicine for my grandmother. I realized I was the only white person on the bus. I wasn’t at all scared; it just felt kind of weird. 15-20 years later and the thugs were starting to take over.
Not to say that's it's not gang violence but it is a totally different Modus Operandi. Gang bangers shoot each other over drugs, territory, and gang identity. This is a totally different sort of shooting. If it continues, it's probably not gang violence.
Black Lives Matter told the hood that the cops are the enemy
So the cops say “F the hood”
It’s amazing self delusion and suicidal behavior
if you look at the map, you'll see that the Ryan runs right through some of the main blighted neighborhoods. They chase each other on the side streets and it spills onto the Ryan. It's a symptom rather than a cause
“1980-something and reading Pravda or Iskra”
The difference between those people and the current hoi polio is those Uzbeks KNEW they were being lied to.
But that’s been noted before too.
Thank you for your service.
