1. that's all in a day's work in Shitcago

[cali]

2. shitcago? really?

and of course this has nothing to do with Chicago, so why even bring it up?

[datasuspect]

3. uh, same state

plus i'm originally from and currently live in the Shitcago MSA. mention of illinois makes it relevant to me and the only worthwhile thing in this cornfuckin state is the economic powerhouse that is its largest city.

amazing how people get worked up about gun deaths in some places but they squeak nary a peep when it concerns the mass murder epidemic in the "mistake by the lake."

[datasuspect]

4. btw, drop the "really?" crap

it's like totally irritating LOL.

that goes for "wow, just wow" too.

YEAH, REALLY.

[cali]

8. YOU think you can tell me what to say? Really? bzzzzt.

and no, hon, I never say "wow, just wow".

[datasuspect]

13. i musta mixed you up with someone else

i do admire your tenacity and gumption though.

10. I live in Chicago. I am a home hospice nurse who works all over the city.

I work in many neighborhoods mostly impoverished areas. Most of the people I meet at work are AMAZING. I am constantly learning from them.

I will say that our mayor sucks and our governor is in way over his head.

But, I love Chicago.

[datasuspect]

11. my memories of the city are great

and yes, "tiny dancer" is a shitbird.

[alcibiades_mystery]

6. Wow

As a happy resident of Chicago, I'd like to wish you a good morning, and a good afternoon after that.

[datasuspect]

9. i'm happy for ya

i'm from the damn place and I can't fucking stand it.

too many bland, humorless fucks there now.

they've turned it into Ohio Regional Shopping Center or some shit like that.

[alcibiades_mystery]

14. Yes, those humorless fucks

So tedious.

7. You Only Missed By 300 Miles...

...if you could read the article it stated 85 Miles Northwest of St. Louis. Sheesh...bad enough yet another 5 people are no longer alive and many others in that small town have had their lives shattered...

[cali]

12. +1

[datasuspect]

16. you do understand that chicago is a city and not a state?

it's in the state of illinois.

in high school english class, they make most students write a compare and contrast paper.

goes like this:

take two similar things (e.g. two cities in the same state).

compare and contrast those things.

[KharmaTrain]

17. And Your Point Is?

The shooting occured 300 miles from Chicago. 5 more people have died from senseless violence...does it matter where it happens? Compare and contrast those things with the families who are trying to find out why their loved ones died...

Peace...

[frazzled]

18. Yeah, let's compare and contrast

Two "cities" in same state, only one (Manchester) has population of 300, and the other (Chicago) has population of around 3 million.
These "cities" are more than 250 miles apart, and it would take three hours and forty-five minutes or so to get between the two.
Actually, one of them is not even a city.

It's sort of like Barneveld, New York, an upstate village with population 323, and New York City (population over 8 million). Same thing.

Are you nuts or just rabid about your disgust with the city of Chicago?

5. uh oh, looks like another shooting for liberals to "exploit"

when will the accusations of "exploiting" stop and when will the realization that these things are actually happening begin?

[Larkspur]

15. If we follow Sen. Grahams' illogic

the shooter should be declared an enemy combatant. He took down 5 people and who knows how many more he would have killed.
