In broad daylight no less.

What? That couldn't have happened. Chicago has gun control. Ask Rahn Emmanuel.

 

[Absalom]

Now that is ironic. Particularly since he’s running for Attorney General. Maybe this will be an educational experience in the event he gets elected (I don’t know Chicago politics, so have no clue as to how serious a contender he is).

 

[vytoland]

violence in chicago..........let me know when you have some REAL news......

 

[Watchdog]

There must be a mistake. Some sort of misunderstanding.

 

[fiasconva]

Want to bet as to how long it took him to get armed security from now on? *s*

 

[billwill]

That's just made up news. Not the lead story on the 'big' stations

Did this happen in a Camera Free Zone in Chicago?
Did the man carrying the camera have a Chicago license to possess a camera? And a ICOIC (Illionis Camera Owners Identification Card) and a CCC (Carry Camera Concealed Card) and a OCC (Open Camera Carry card)?
Chicago need's Common Sense Camera Laws.

I see "gun control" sure works. I feel much better now.

 

[jscheck]

They stole it all!

If I read the story right, they stole all the camera equipment too! ROFL

Step away from the political comments or this thread will close. Quickly.

This is the definition of irony.

 

[vonn]

Couldn’t have made this up! True or not it sure would be funny!

 

[tarsam]

Naw, not in Chicago. Fake news!!

 

[LVSteve]

ROFLMAO!!! Couldn't have happened to a nicer bloke.

 

[JohnRippert]

Well.............Chicago. 'Nuff said.

 

[H Richard]

Just another reason I stay 300 miles away from Chicago. (The politicians).

This was a brilliant campaign idea. Well done.
