Too bad we don't have conceal carry in Illinois, could have been one less bad guy on the streets or in our jails.
ReplyDeleteThat Hazel St. seems to get mentioned alot. Kinda like Winthrop and Kenmore (oh, and Halsted).
ReplyDeleteThe guy only had a knife, if she had a gun she could have put him where he belong. CONCEAL TO CARRY IN ILLIOIS NOW!! Vistit the website and find out how u can get thisthing passed.
ReplyDeleteThings are only going to get worse people. Everyday the state of illinois releases thousands of criminals who have no job options when they get out. They aren't going to just stay on the south side. They are going to go where the prey is the easiest and the finacial payoffs are the highest.
