We need segregation again! No blacks allowed in the north side! So many blacks in Chicago...why? Cops need to keep an eye out on ghetto blacks up to no good. Not the professional ones but the ghetto south side apes too lazy to work and who have crack whore mothers on welfare. Sickening
ReplyDeleteIt clear humans are now, finally beginning to accept the fact that no media spin can cover up the fact: we are not the same.
ReplyDeleteNobody's blaming the victim yet?
ReplyDeleteTo 4 am - IDK, was the victim a gangmember who was targeted by a rival gang?
ReplyDeleteIf so, then yeah, blame him (or her if the victim is a woman). But if he was a normal guy, a businessman in the loop to do business & be a positive contribution to society, then no, blame the little sh*ts who believe that they can just take what they want, when they want, from whomever they want, as opposed to working hard & earning it.
Not only is concealed carry going to eventually come to IL, but already, more & more private citizens are getting FOIDs, legally purchasing firearms, and then choosing to illegally carry them. They are choosing to put their own personal safety over the small chance that they will get busted for illegal carry. It's only a matter of time before one of these thug punks tries to rob and or assault the wrong person here & gets pumped full of lead. And based on recent rulings, both in IL & federal courts, the potential victim will prevail on self defense grounds.
But until then, as long as the criminals have basically no fear that their prey will be armed, this type of stuff will continue.
Big Al, I've already stated this before. Either downtown or on Halsted St., it's going to take somebody from Michigan or Texas that is not accustomed to this Chicago invasion of personal space (to put it mildly) to pop a few, shut some businesses down for months and have them rethink their greed in just standing behind counters, collecting money while doing absolutely - NOTHING - about their obvious violent crime in the sake of PC.
ReplyDeletePeople are just toooo pc. Stay away from the black hoodlums, watch them constantly, don't let your guard down when they are around you. Contrary to popular belief they aren't just like you and me. You have to ask yourself sometimes "what are these creatures doing hanging out around this river north bed and bath"? "I know they don't accept link cards" or what are they doing hanging around this whole foods, by the financial district etc. You know they are up to no good. Just use common sense. The animals have escaped from the jungle.
ReplyDeletevery sad. very true.
