Downtown Shooting

The Tribune took all mention of the East Bank Club out of its coverage.  The Sun Times throws it right out there though:
  • A man was shot in the head Wednesday morning outside 350 West Mart Center, formerly known as the Apparel Center, as commuters were walking to work.

    The shooting happened shortly before 6 a.m. in a docking area behind the building across the street from the upscale East Bank Club, 500 N. Kingsbury St., where Mayor Rahm Emanuel, Oprah Winfrey and other celebrities have worked out. Among the tenants of 350 West Mart Center are Holiday Inn, Ogilvy & Mather, Comcast SportsNet Chicago and the Chicago Sun-Times.

    The 47-year-old man suffered a graze wound to the head and held up a thumb as paramedics rushed him into an ambulance headed toward Northwestern Memorial Hospital, authorities said. His injuries are not believed to be life-threatening, police said.

But an inch or two to the left and Rahm is walking though this guy's brains on the way to stretch at the barre.

According to the Trib, the offender is a male 20-30 yrs old. I think I saw that guy.

Rham don't care, he would eat the brains too. Rham and McGoof are happy that it wasn't a homicide or they might have to throw the body with weights down the river to help the homicide numbers in the city.

Well, it is rumored that over the years certain members of the EB Club use that alley to finalize certain types of transactions and agreements.

At least the shooter listened to Rham. He took it to the alley.

I get shot in the head, the last thing I'll be doing is providing emotional support to random bystanders.

"According to the Trib, the offender is a male 20-30 yrs old."

That narrows it down quite a bit.

It's absolutely everywhere. Taking away all guns is the answer? There will always be the criminal element to deal with, regardless of all the new obama rama laws. Thank God I can carry everywhere I go.

Hahahaha!! That idiot probably told that story to make himself sound like he was some seasoned tough guy cop. In reality, it'll be used forever to illustrate just how much of a pompous asshat he really is.

So fucking funny! Funny but sad that they won't describe the offender more further detail. Lest they offend someone.

According to the article, this was not an attempted robbery.

Who was the victim? Banker? What kind of people work at that address? Was this an assasination attempt?

Like what happened in New York?

It's no wonder the Propaganda Office doesn't want too much press coverage of this one. It's far better for them to make political hay out of the shootings of children in order to further their socialist-type goals to destroy the 2nd Amendment.

Remember that newspaper that published a map of all the people with firearms in that NY town?

Well guess what?

"For the second time, a law-abiding gun owner whose name and address were published by the anti-gun crusaders at the New York Journal News has been robbed, and this time firearms were stolen. From a New York Newsday report:

Two handguns and two pistol permits were stolen from the New City home of a man whose name and address are listed on the website of a local newspaper as possessing gun permits, police said.

The thieves ransacked the house Wednesday night, breaking into two safes on the home’s third floor and stealing a third safe. The guns were in the stolen safe, police said.

Clarkstown police said they had no evidence the burglary was connected to the controversial map."

Rahm had nothing to worry about. The victim was 5ft 04in. The shot would have been way over Rahm's head.

rahm didn't give mouth to mouth? No Gmax on scene to determine if they shoud ask the guy for a gun turn in certificate? All chicagoans under the new laws of rahm should be giving mouth to mouth and getting a gift certificate in return.

The news media reported the offender had been wearing a mask. This does not seem to be a random incident. Sure sounds like the victim may have been targeted. Maybe his backround would give up some clues. Victim is very lucky.

I believe Rahm works out at the Lake Shore Club daily over on Fullerton now.

Thursdays edition to the Chicago Sun-Times features an article by a former alderman who is now a professor.
The article relates to 300 policemen being found guilty of various crimes since 1960. The facts and figures are probably correct and I am not defending the actions of
any of the officers.

In all fairness Mr. Former alderman / professor, would you kindly do a similar article showing the facts and figures of how many alderman have been found guilty of various crimes since 1960 and compare the percentages.

Downtown is completely taken over by savages. I went to Gino's East last weekend with my girlfriend. I parked near H.N.C. and walked east. All over Chicago Ave and near Michigan Ave was completely infested with wildlings. It looked like Kenya on Chicago/Michigan. Loud, rude, obnoxious and rowdy. CPD everywhere. What a fkn shame. I decided right there to never go back anywhere near downtown. It is now Englewood with skyscrapers everywhere.

You do know the liberals believe race is a construct? It doesn't exist. That's the official position of some scientific society.

I liken their idiocy to pornography. Just because you cannot define the boundaries with precision certainly doensn't mean it is non-existent. Laughable.

First mistake. If you want real pizza, go to Phil's. If you want the phony ambience, go to Connie's.

I live behind that Gino's in a high rise. You are 100% correct. It is scary as hell. Everyone needs to think more like you, stay the hell away - business will suffer, no revenue for the city. Bye bye Chicago. If my husband weren't so adamant on living here, I'd be gone today. Hate everything about living here.

if race doesn't exist, then why is there a problem with giving as specifically accurate a description of the suspected offender as possible?

it's like omitting the color of a reported stolen vehicle.
