vinnyt77 FFS š One of my colleagues lives in Highland Park, and was planning to attend the parade. Mobile networks are down, so no idea yet if sheās okā¦ https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/live/2022/jul/04/chicago-shooting-fourth-july-parade-highland-park?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other
ScottBailey vinnyt77 trying to get hold of my mate in Chicago too. Think heās west of Chitown. Message gone through byt no reply as of yet. Makes sense if networks are down. Hope your friend is ok š¤
jonattonyeah Sheesh. It just doesnāt end. Hope all turns out okay, lads. And Highland Park is a very wealthy area - where the Home Alone house is and in other John Hughes filming locations. This isnāt some hardscrabble part of town without resources or with histories of violent public crime. I guess weāre just not thoughting and prayering enoughā¦
ScottBailey jonattonyeah big place with millions of people in it, but it sure does feel small when shit goes down and youāre trying to get news from someone you care about! š¤
vinnyt77 ScottBailey Yes mate š They could hear the gunfire, but weāre a little ways away from it thankfully.
Cankles-McJeggings If everyone in the crowd were armed both of these mass shootings could have been avoided. FACT
Cankles-McJeggings I donāt know about US law or care but would it not be possible to erode the gun lobby by individual states banning guns and going from there? Thereās obviously never going to be a country wide law.
zackster Cankles-McJeggings I donāt know about US law or care but would it not be possible to erode the gun lobby by individual states banning guns and going from there? Thereās obviously never going to be a country wide law. No. NY just tried to add state wide gun restrictions and the SC slapped it down. āStateās Rightsā only applies as a philosophy when it is to their advantage.
Cankles-McJeggings Give everyone free grits for a year in exchange for their guns? Iād make a great president.
Smallman1 Zackster, Jonatton, what you packing heat wise? Couple of AKās? Dessert eagles by the bedside table? Grenade launchers for when shit gets real?
Mad_Cyril Smallman1 Dessert eagles by the bedside table? Large bore weapon that pumps out muffins & scones?
-si- Smallman1 Dessert eagles by the bedside table? Break into edās and face the wrath of his weapon, pumped to death by delicious cup cakes with exquisite icing!
Millsy Jonaton blatantly keeps a pump action behind the bar ever since he got duffed up. Probably calls it something like āOl Bessieā or something.
Cankles-McJeggings Anyone who breaks into Eds has one very angry Darren to deal with first. Luckily for them it usually means Darren has already unloaded his weapon into ed hours before.
Amps jonattonyeah Weād go the way of the Balkans. Iāve got this down as a win for the West Coast.
