Chicago ransacked last night

"People will do what they do."

If only there was a designated group of trained individuals with the desire and ability to prevent people from doing what they'll do when it affects the health and safety of others or to at least hold them responsible for that behavior right? That would be nice.

@RevolverRob, you far enough away from this crap?

Clearly, they'd have to do it on a volunteer basis since there are no funds available for such.

"To be clear, this had nothing to do with legitimate protected First Amendment expression," Mayor Lori Lightfoot said Monday. "What occurred downtown and in surrounding communities was abject criminal behavior, pure and simple ... This was straight-up felony criminal conduct."

She'll be the next one to clean out her desk.

There you go again, offering simple solutions to complex problems! You probably think wheels should always be round, too.

He just picked up his Rattler and got it sighted in, so 'far enough away' has to do with holdover and windage at this point.

There you go with the San Francisco values again... :-P

Is that like a block watch thing?

They also understand the language of the 9 mm in Chiraq and the social distancing that needs to be applied.

Thanks for the concerns folks. We are about 6’ish miles from downtown proper. Wife said no concerns in our neighborhood last night. I am a safe distance away, currently on my way back to Chiraqistan from Texas. And yea my little Rattling buddy is riding shotgun (pistol?) right now.

I haven’t read/seen much about what happened. Will update when I get back to Chi and have a handle on things. I’ve been basically ignoring social media/news while I’ve been in Texas.
