  1. I want concealed carry. I want one of these punks to try and mug me late at night in the shadows some night. I want them to beg for their lives when I'm able to finally turn the tables on one of these creatures. I want them to cry and plead and beg. Then I want to savor their last breath. Watch their squandered worthless life fly away. Our blood is boiling in the communities you victimize. Just keep pushing us. We will fight back. The tipping point is close at hand...

  2. So did they let "the wrong man" go? That's not very clear. He was still walking around with a gun, wtf did they think he was going to do

  3. People are carrying despite what the law says, but we all need to call our local offices and let them know we are in favor of hb 148. Conceal carry is our only way to protect ourselves and our families.

  7. ....."in an alley". Chicagoan's LOVE the alley. The bartenders love to get on stage and pronounce the mutual BJ's performed....."in the alley" (and seem to be proud of it like some right of passage).

    This entire area gets exactly what it deserves. Pigsnot. My out-state sister laughed when I used that word to describe Chicagoan's.

    Meanwhile, a gay guy took a dump on Hollywood Beach today. I'm sure many there got their rocks off on that. He couldn't have, wouldn't have done that on the Detroit/Grosse Pointe waterfront. He would have been "corrected".

    Liberalism. Do whatever I want, wherever I want. Unchecked.

    Chicago. Pigsnot. (and "transient youth" is the current problem?).

    What part of the title didn't you understand? It said "Wrigleyville" NOT Boystown. Guess you really don't know a thing about Chicago. Here's a hint...They are two different neighborhoods.
