This is a model city for gun laws. Owning a gun in Chicago legally, is almost impossible, yet this city leads the nation, and the world in shootings. This city is a fine example of how gun laws work....ya, right!
Planet Of The Apes movies could be filmed there and they wouldnt need Hollywood to bring a soul, Sad Times. Gun Laws are to hurt honest people. The thugs will have them no matter what.
Obviously, they need stricter gun control laws!
Oh wait. They banned all the guns.
Run away! Run away!
O's old hood. We need to send him back ASAP.
10:52 - you're killin' me ROTFLMFAO!
Line from another movie..."Let them die".
Jeez. Clicked on this story thinking it was about Salisbury. Oh well, maybe in a few years.
I say we arm all the illegal immigrants that are streaming across the border and bus them up to Chicago. Maybe build a fence around it, then send Obama in so he can press the reset button.
