Holy Shit! How in the hell can you let your teen get snipped without an actual doctor performing the ritual? I get the rite of passage thing, but what the fuck were you thinking by not having a qualified professional do it? Now, you have 41 dead teens and God knows how many more dead that were not reported? As for the second link, these crooks got away with money, estimated at 35 million, that's 33 million in euros and not lobsters and protein powder.

I never thought protein powder was a hit with the black market. Is there a bunch of steroid induced mobsters demanding such an item at the cost of $500 grand? Take a look back. $400 grand worth of lobsters stolen. Now this? 2025 has been a crazy, shitty year.

What are the odds of a stolen car wrecks a police SUV? What are the odds a teen has possession of an illegally obtained firearm? I wonder what that kid's parents think of him now?

When I saw the first link, I thought about the 1990 film Goodfellas when the guys high jacked a truck. $400 grand worth of lobsters? What the fuck! Lastly, check out the last link. The victim didn't want to get jerked off, so the assclown stabbed him.

Another day of holy shit. If you honestly want to see shootings go down, demand that your elected representatives vote to repeal the legislation allowing you to sue gun makers. Force the lawmakers to pass legislation banning assault weapons for civilian use. Demand those lawmakers to pass universal background checks.

What the fuck? It is just stunning that there is so much hatred in this world. Look at the last link. A grown ass man shoots at a woman and runs off. That's a pussy that can't take responsibility for his own actions. Now, the police are looking for him and will catch his pussy ass. 

Merry Madness: $10,000 stolen from mini mart during burglary on Chicago's North Side

 https://www.cbsnews.com/chicago/news/mini-mart-burglary-chicago-north-side/

 

 

 

 

A small investment in a big ass safe would make a thief think twice. Also, why would you keep money in a cash register? I'm out.

Fuck it. I'm just going to let the links speak for themselves. I must admit, these "gangs" are getting a little less creative coming up with monikers. "Faceworld"? What the fuck!

What a weird weekend. I do hope the parents of those idiot teens make them turn their selves in to law enforcement. I also hope their friends and family shame them for ganging up on a 62-year-old.

https://www.cbsnews.com/chicago/news/chicago-weekend-shootings-from-dec-19-to-22/ 

 

 

 

Jesus Christ! What possesses a person or persons to commit mass murder? If they claim it's via Jihad, you really need to go back and read whatever religious book you have on hand. One thing I learned from various books of this nature, killing is frowned upon when it comes to killing innocent people.    

It's Still Madness: Man charged with stealing $6,200 worth of ice cream from delivery trucks in Indiana

Well, there you have it. I wonder if that person sold, or ate, the ice cream? On the good news side, those punk kids got caught. On the bad news side, the domestic terrorist are maiming and killing again. Even with all this going on, there's still no outrage from religious leaders of all faiths. Don't you find that odd?

I wonder what type of "alternative" our top prosecutor is thinking of besides jail time? Will they be punished to keep the city clean? Will they be forced to complete high school? Can they be forced to learn a trade and finally contribute to society instead of destroying it? So many choices.

https://chicago.suntimes.com/crime/2025/12/17/14-year-old-boy-wounded-in-drive-by-shooting-in-auburn-gresham 

 

I'm under the impression this should have been titled a Holy Shit edition. The good news is, four dickheads have been caught. Two for the armed robberies, one for the bottle incident, and a fuck-nut attempting to sell conversion kits. The only sad note is the domestic terrorist shooting a defenseless 14-year-old kid.

https://www.cbsnews.com/miami/news/trump-administration-hits-3-more-alleged-drug-boats-in-pacific-killing-8-military-says/ 

 

 

I'm no lawyer, but if you can board a tanker and seize it, you can also board these so-called drug boats and find out if they truly are. In my book, this is illegal and could fall under crimes against humanity. Lastly, that second link lets you know racism is alive and well. Should I be one of those wrongful arrest, I'd make sure the prosecutors were included in the lawsuit. They knew that charge was bullshit, and it should have never reached a judge.

I take it the Gary police are not equipped with tasers? They shot the guy in the arm three times. I have to give them credit for such marksmanship. As far as the rest of the links, let them speak for themselves.

Sometimes it's just best to call the cops. Mental note for parents. Don't leave your kids in a running vehicle. You are only asking for trouble and possibly a frying pan shot to the head from your wife.

https://wgntv.com/news/chicagocrime/man-accused-of-attacking-3-women-in-the-loop/ 

 

 

 

Look on the bright side, they all got caught. Now, the only thing we can hope for is that the prosecutors don't accept any plea deals, so these scumbags don't get back on our streets. I'm also willing to bet all of them are repeat offenders.

I'm sick of the shootings, like everyone else. But, what really pisses me off are these politicians fucking over the average citizen, so businesses can get tax breaks. You work for a living and pay taxes. You shop at any store and pay taxes. Yet, any commercial business in the county gets a break and you, the homeowner, gets fucked.

Well, here's your roundup headlines from world, national, and local news sources for the day. I know it's bleak, but there are other rays of hope if you scour around other local sources. What really baffles me, is the Asian conflict. I get it if it's a border dispute. But, killing over temples is a bit hypocritical. That's not what any deity would want. Before you chew my ass out saying God did this and that to people, and the ancient stories of deities fighting the battles of good versus evil. Take a second and say with me, all of this is just wrong.  

Madness Continues: Man shot, killed in alley in Chicago's North Lawndale neighborhood

https://www.cbsnews.com/chicago/news/suspect-sought-gas-station-shooting-aurora/ 

 

 

 

From my perspective, these two shootings were targeted. The first could be gang related, but it's still targeted. I could be wrong, but they do not appear like a random act of domestic terrorism. You just don't meet someone in an alley for a conversation and gunfire erupts. You don't know, unless you have psych abilities, a person you want to shoot is at a gas station. Like I said, they both appear to be targeted shootings. That's premeditation folks.

https://www.cbsnews.com/chicago/news/man-26-shot-during-armed-robbery-south-shore/ 

 

 

 

I don't really know where to begin. To shoot and kill a woman you know is beyond evil. To fuck around and find out the car you tried to steal belonged to a concealed carry holder shows your stupidity. If the robbery victim had a concealed carry permit, the outcome may have been different.

Damn! The teen couldn't catch a break and got shot twice, and he was the victim. One can only hope that the fire wasn't caused by arson. If it was, there's going to be hell to pay. Many know when you break the law in a foreign country, you will get your ass handed to you.

Yes, it's a crazy world we live in. You have to be a complete monster when you kill children and civilians in cold blood. Also, notice the lack of outrage from religious leaders of all faiths?

I take it we can chalk this up as another holy shit edition. That first link is a definite hoy shit moment. The rest of the links speak for themselves. Stay warm.

The latest edition of the dumb files are out. So, you sell drugs near a sheriff office substation downtown and did expect to get caught? That's pretty fucking stupid in my book. Seven dummies in one shot.

Well, there it is, folks. Mayhem and chaos continues unabated. Have also noticed no news organizations, local or national haven't interviewed any religious leaders of any faiths, on what they plan on doing about the shootings? Neither have I.
