I’m looking at my calandar. It says it’s Groundhog’s day, not “demonize the evil evil guns” day.

[MrPiper]

The report says he’s black, 230 lbs, and 29 yrs old. But not name. ?????????

[szweig]

How can this be??? Guns are basically illegal in Chicago. This report must be in error! </s>

[MrPiper]

not=no

[maclay]

Yeah, they’re supposed to dematerialize when you cross the city lines. :-P

[dr_lew]

He’s still at large. I guess 29 was an estimate. I heard a height of 5’ 9”

[raybbr]

This is about 20 miles from Chicago. It’s Tinley Park.

[MrPiper]

Cops know him, he's a convicted felon, go figure!

what does a quagmire alert have to do with four people being murdered?

[B Knotts]

This wasn't in Chicago; it was in Tinley Park, a suburb south of Chicago. Your point is well-taken, though, as gun ownership and possession is pretty much suppressed in Illinois, generally.

Prayers for the victims.

This report must be in error!

Actually, you are. Tinley Park is not Chicago.

[HighWheeler]

It’s a Quagmire.

Look at it.

The cops have been there for years and crimes like this continue without any let up. We need to let the people of Chicago suburbs govern themselves without any outside governmental help, even if their social customs mean that they must kill each other.

I think that it’s better not to use something like this as a way to make a political point. Leave that to the left.

Four people were killed.

[HighWheeler]

The left is populated, no, saturated with morons.

I would bet that this event and those deaths can be linked directly back to some leftist, socialist, liberal programs that were intended to prevent the very problems that led to this tragic event.

It is up to conservatives to point out the leftist’s stupidity by applying their idiotic policies to everything they don’t understand.

[I still care]

Perhaps the poster is saying we should withdraw from Chicago.

[vetvetdoug]

Illinois....gun control central.. There’s no gun crime in the highly gun control state of Illinois.

[tobyhill]

It is a quagmire that will continue till the lefts own destructive agenda is destroyed in it’s track. Yes it’s sad 4 people died but the fact of the matter is that criminals have easier times getting guns than law abiding citizens and until that changes these incidents will continue. The inner city cops have long gave up but now it appears the suburban cops are doing the same. Law abiding citizens are being forced further and further out, having to shop in rural places and send their kids to private schools even though they pay taxes to the ghetto public schools.
