It's Still Madness: Attempted break-in at Bensenville gas station foiled by Elmhurst police officer

What a crazy day/night for news. They may have nixed the gas station robbery but, the crooks got away. I also have a question about that second link. Why wasn't that "package" marked? And, if it was, why in the fuck did you handle it instead of calling 911? Lastly, I don't wish this on people but, one of these days/nights you asshole robbers are going to run into someone with a conceal-carry permit.

About that last link. Where's the deescalation when the officers knew he was trying to kill himself, and not them? About the second link. How many times do I have to rant about cheap-ass parents that refuse buying trigger locks? If you have kids and guns in your house/apartment buy a fucking trigger lock so you kids can be safe.

We can only hope this legislation passes and gets signed into law. Allow me to take you on a history lesson. The Republican Party took this right away from all of us back in 2005. If you don't believe that, here's a copy and paste. "

The Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLC AA) blocks legal responsibility for gun manufacturers that have failed to innovate and make guns safer, and for manufacturers, distributors, and dealers with irresponsible, reckless and negligent sales practices that contribute to the flood of illegal firearms in our communities.

What in the fuck is going on? Robbers hitting a sub shop and a 7-eleven. A group of robbers roaming around the Southside of the city. The domestic terrorist striking again, killing one and leaving a man and woman injured. Well, if you look on the bright side, the sub shop robbers got caught. I'll even lay odds they are repeat offenders. Now, it's up to the prosecutors to do their job, and make sure they stay locked up for a long time.

Lastly, our domestic terrorist continue doing targeted shootings. I find it odd when they get caught, they are not charged with premeditated attempted murder.

I'd really like to see a much higher drop in homicides. But, when you compare it with 1965 one could say it's a much-needed improvement. On the other hand, how in the hell did a kid get shot in his own home? Let me guess. A negligent parent that refused to buy a trigger lock? As for the rest, I do hope they place that arsonist into a mental institution for life.
