A 71-year-old man was shot in Chicago this week while watering his lawn as two men attempted to rob him. It was a little after 11 a.m. on Tuesday when the victim, Fred Laguardia, was approached by two suspects on bikes outside his home in Marquette Park. Home surveillance video taken from a neighbor's house shows the two men attempting to rob Laguardia, however he refused to give in to them. A struggle ensued and the senior citizen was thrown to the ground, where he was shot once in the abdomen by one of the men, according to WGNTV.

I think people need to be warned not to water at 11 a.m. in Chicago.

Why would anyone want to continue to live there....is beyond me. I would have sold out and moved.

Teens?

Who in their right mind would buy into Chicago to live? Demonrat hole-—

[Calvin Locke]

Didn’t Boeing [corporate] move there?

Good question.

No one would, but there are a lot of people trapped in that hell hole.

Marquette Park is where Martin Luther King staged his march in Chicago for desegregation. I guess the people there were right to try to block him. Actually though it is a fairly safe neighborhood.

If someone purchased 15-20 years ago with a 30-year mortgage in a once-pleasant neighborhood...moving might be easier said than done.
I feel bad for the unfortunate innocent man who was simply watering his own lawn in the middle of the day.

Black on White or Black on Black ?

probably an sincere, passionate environmentalist upset about the use of the peeeeple’s water.

I live in a nice town that is patrolled by its own police force. However, I am always packing heat, even when doing yard work. I don’t know how I’d dress in an Obama-son-infested hellhole like Chi-Town. Full kevlar, I guess.

Water hoses need to be banned! Don’t incite the ferals.

“.....I would have sold out and moved.”......

Many are doing just that and moving to a “safer area”, Wisconsin. We are beginning to see an increase in blacks in central Wisconsin cities, many who have come from Chicago. Those who do move into Wisconsin look for economically depressed areas/counties, where the welfare systems a more lenient.

I guess he doesn't go to the movies ...

[upchuck]

Stay out Chicago. Lots of detours around Chicago for the traveling folks.

Chicago, Chicago, That toddlin' town...

Chicago, Chicago, I'll show you around...

[Organic Panic]

That’s how the L.A. water department enforces their watering restrictions.

Black on White or Black on Black ?

Black on black. Only because we heard about it a little. If it were black on white we would have heard nothing.

Poor man. He was lucky to have survived.
