Firefighter Shot
- A Chicago firefighter was shot Sunday while responding to a car fire in Albany Park on the Northwest Side.
Fire Commissioner Richard C. Ford II said crews had arrived at the scene in the 3300 block of West Wilson Avenue and put a hose line on the fire shortly before hearing shots and taking cover at 1:02 a.m.
The 36-year-old firefighter, who has been with the department for six years, was hit in the leg and taken to Illinois Masonic Medical Center in fair condition, Chicago police and fire officials said.
And when fire fighters (and police) stop responding to certain neighborhoods, anticipate a taxpayer revolt along with assorted vigilantism to break out.

Plenty of gunners willing to ride shotgun for CFD.
Question is, will they be welcome? Doubt approval.

C'mon Charlie. Spread yourself around and go for a ride along.

Could this be the match under Beck's ass that everybody is
praying for?
If it was random, as in the car fire brought the shooter there, that's one thing. But, if the car fire was to bring CFD to the shooter, different story. Time to shake the streets in 017 and see who gives up what. Bless you CFD, you deserve better!
I just saw that jagoff of a CFD commissioner on television saying this was “an isolated incident” and “unfortunate.” Are you kidding me? He had an opportunity to use his position of the head of the CFD to display his outrage over what the City has become and it is obvious to any sane person that he is saying what he has been told to say to tow the party line. Do these assholes actually think people don’t trust their ears and eyes? AGAIN we have a public figure making excuses for criminal behavior that years ago would be so out there, so unacceptable that it would be a news story for weeks. I am sick and tired of the press, the politicians, and these ass kissing department heads. Someone say it—-this City is no longer safe ANYWHERE. We have what the rest of the Country considers mass shootings EVERY weekend. But the press and politicians treat it as business as usual and dare not discuss it in public. God forbid we talk badly about the “community”. You know, the free shit army soldiers that have ruined this beautiful City. Try asking the spouse or children of any firefighter if they think getting shot in the performance of his or her duty is “unfortunate” or “isolated”. Ford, you’re a piece of shit for saying that in front of cameras because you know they just love to lap that shit up. Yeah. Everything is fine. Nothing to see. Move along. Fuck you. I can’t imagine there’s a firefighter in this City who could possibly have any respect for you after that press conference. Not to mention the cancelled promotional exam because your leadership sucks so bad you can’t even manage to do something that the department has done for years and years with no problem. From what I saw this morning, you’re just another fat fucking slob like Eddie Johnson running shit he shouldn’t be running.
Those Chicago values on full display 24/7 in this 3rd world city. Maybe the CFD commissary should start stocking body armor. May come in handy as the liberal communist infestation continues its unstoppable hellbent blitzkrieg on the destruction of American civilized society.
Fire Commissioner Rich “Monopoly Man” Ford called the incident “unfortunate.”
Didn't Beck say something of the sort that he covers a shift
in the field to maintain a connection with his people?
Listening to this response to a firefighter SHOT in 017. It is the most casual response I have ever listened to on air while off duty. Like no one is taking it remotely seriously. And then 1700X had the disrespect to call it “the fire drama” on air. Took them 40 minutes to tape and block off. Why in the hell is this not being responded to with the same seriousness as a cop being shot? Imagine fire casually rolling for a shot cop. Unreal.

Dude get a hobby or something. Why in the fuck are you listening to a scanner in the middle of the night?
OT: What's with those two dudes in 193 that run around like Riggs and Murtaugh. "I'm getting to old for this shit!!!!"
God bless the hero fireman. I pray for a speedy recovery. Sir, you are the truest of heroes.
It almost seems that Chicago might be a dangerous city, many parts of it anyway... This is chocking considering Democrats have run this city for 4/4 of a century.
Fuck those neighborhoods
Key word for Fire is 'BIS Scene Safe'. Everyone is taught that if the environment is not secure, then don't engage. With this in mind, and FD can, and should call for security if deemed necessary. It's not up to the Kommunity and their race baiters, case law supports EMS. What does seem amusing is that if EMS requires a QRF to support their missions in 'certain' areas, then obviously these areas are not operating under local control and need be identified as areas of insurgency. We are past pretending these 'people' are anything less than hostiles. This back and forth just feeds the chaos. I'm reminded of how the South Koreans dealt with insurgency in the AOs. Unlike our liberal democracy, they didn't f**k around. Take fire from a ville? That's what arty is for. These areas were models of law and order, unlike the US controlled mayhem. These creatures are criminals and terrorists and should be dealt with as such.
Prepare for "No-Go" Zones - just like France:
...and Sweden...and Germany...and the UK...and the Netherlands...and Belgium...and...
There are no taxpayers in neighborhoods where people shoot at firefighters. Only welfare scammers. Stop LINK SNAP and WIC fraud and watch them all starve. Fucking scum.
More groot and criminalisha values at work.
Ford II. Looks like that name could be on the back of an NFL Jersey. Seems to be a lot of Sr's, Jr's, II's and III's all playing this year. They must have a shitload of fathers, sons and grandsons all playing on the same teams. They may as well change the name to Family Affair.
CFD should chime in here. Didn't a CFD boss forbid their firemen and paramedics from wearing body armor? I remember paramedics and firemen wearing body armor back in the 1990's. This whole city has become clown-world {honk honk}!
Some much for good relationship between Police and fire. 1700X if this is true you need your Ass whipped.
Albany park is NOT the Northwest side. The media takes any chance they can to blur the lines between decent,hardworking police/fire/city worker neighborhoods and shitty areas.
Fireman and paramedics need to be armed. It is a must with the state this city is in. If I am putting my life in jeopardy in certain situations then I have the right to protect myself. We get runs all day into gang infested areas. Not to mention the ghetto drama that occurs after a shooting or other bullshit.
This is the atmosphere created by Kim Foxx, the liberal media and progressive socialist liberals. They will get the city they deserve and we’ll be gone!
Glad to see were not the only department led by a fucking moron.
Fire boss Ford on the news saying he feels the firefighter wasn’t targeted.
Thanks for assisting the offender boss!
How about wait and see what the offender has to say.
Complete morons running these departments and that includes temp Beck after he supports a PO as a commander.
Idiot!
Speedy recovery to the firefighter.
Heal well and fully our brother first responder
Hmm... Does responding to a car fire mean a trap was set? Because it sounds like a trap was set. This reminds me of the beginning of Demolition Man, when Wesley Snipes' character lists all the city service employees who'd learned to NOT come to "his" neighborhood.
First- Let's all hope that the firefighter makes a full and uneventful recovery...it ain't over until it's over and they return to work at 100%.
Second- It would be nice if there could be 'No service' areas due to violence against first responders...The US Postal Service did that, and it was common knowledge among the feral denizens that, if you laid a hand on a mail carrier, they would not deliver the mail (and the welfare checks back then) for awhile until things settled down and/or someone was caught.
Third, I think a little taxpayer revolt at City Hall and vigilantism (Where is 'Dexter' when you need him??) in some parts of town would be a good thing and a great way to once again prove Darwin was right.
Finally...(Trigger warning!!)
Stay Safe and Carry On Boys and Girls!!
If it enters my neighborhood or block, you're damn right there will be vigilantism.
And for whatever BS reason the tact team was detailed to 011 for the night. I guess the taxpayers of Albany Park don’t deserve a tact team but 011 gets tact teams from everywhere along with the 5 teams or more already there. Did 16 have their team sent away too? Pathetic
It seems like all my tax money is spent in areas that do not pay taxes.
Get well soon firefighter! 17 is the shortest staffed district in the city for many years. Where was the tact team? I’m hearing detailed to the west side. Why? We pay a lot of tax for the 17 police station. Unbelievable
Commonplace for Tolerant, Welcoming, Diverse, Accepting Malmö.
It’s why they have No Go Zones there, why fires are allowed to self extinguish and why police need amour to protect from the rocks and molotovs when they have to tread into these areas.
Under the maniacal agenda of the angry ground hawg Lari LightLoafer, this Global World Class Sanctuary City is just a few years away from the same.
Off topic....And speaking of France
there was a recent clash between riotous government workers, Yellow Vests that included off duty (Paris) Fire Dept members and Police were dispatched to control the chaos. The long continuous protests erupted all due their President Macrons pension cutting proposal (Reforms) which basically takes away monies from the workers and gives to the deadbeat invaders. Macron wants to consolidate 42 public sector pensions into one single pension fund.
Sound familiar.... IL Sanctuary prime minister JB Pignutz recently consolidated several downstate PD pension funds into one.
What’s next, hmmmm?
Hey Groot, now their shooting at the Fire personnel. How are you going to build trust in the Community with the Fire Dept. Let see, now they don't trust police AND fire personnel. It seems they only trust you and your free give away programs. How about CAPS for the Fire Dept. We all know how successful that is.
You buy their trust like a typical Gangsta', except dressed up with pearls in a boys suit. Dude, Inc. wouldn't be caught dead dressed like that. When will you declare "No Go Zones" or "No Free Give Away Zones" and will they include the dope shops and the new proposed casino.
Best to the Fire Fighter for a full and speedy recovery.
Just read Trib report...its an unfortunate incident..not the target...WTF-- who determined things-- car on fire = plenty of first responder targets.....and if 1700 said "fire drama" on air they should be counseled by anyone if the superior exempts
And the democratic liberals would order a chase termination if the offenders fled in a get away car. We are on the cusp of total civil breakdown. Thanks to the Daley crime syndicate.
This is incredibly bad news.
Oddly enough, Albany Park is not the worst neighborhood in Chicago. It is gentrifying a bit, but have the CHA place low income tenants in the vicinity, the access to the area via CTA trains, and a socialist alderman make for the usual type of diversity that the Democrats celebrate that drives normal folks out of the city.
Do you think these scumbag SJW type politicians, and the people who vote for them understand reality? No fucking way. The only option left is to vote with your feet and relocate when able. Fucking shame.
Too bad 017 had its tact teams in 011 last night so Ernest Cato the Turd can be the communerty savior!
Said it before,
This area is filling up with people coming from “no go”
zones from around the world.
And a certain political party is welcoming them.
What could their plan be?
Thank the liberals and asshole democRATS. When will you fuckers finally learn to stand together as ONE! Police and Fire unite for fucks sake. Fuck these asshole white shirt suck asses.
The shooting was captured on a neighbor's "Nest" camera on his front door.
It would be great for this to be shown on the evening national news. An on-duty fire fighter shot and falling to the ground.
NO ONE should be voting for these democrat scumbags destroying all cities across America.
By the way.. the city will never want video footage released of the shooting.
They know this would score Trump 20 more points in the election.
017 has become a pesthole. Most of the district is populated by illegals, gangbangers, white alkies, hard left commies, and a shit load of former desert dwellers. Nobody knows who the fuck ANY of these people are.
Even American LaFrance went away after 100 years
I got on as a medic in 1984.many of us carried a handgun.gun shots on the scene were not unusual.just don't hide behind a cpd Leo.
Northwest side a no go Zone? What are you gonna do with Austin, the Wood and Garfield Park areas. Wall them Off? Bet the rest of CFD getting their CCW credentials. Soon mandatory police presence on all fire runs. Goya enough extra cars and people for that? That SJW thing seems to be working so well. No fear of prosecution for anything. They used to call it anarchy, now it is called social justice. Love those progressive Democrats.
Hope he'll be OK, and have full recovery.
Also hope they catch the POS who shot him.
Dammit, aren't their jobs risky and dangerous enough?
Chicago truly is one cold hearted, POS worthless City.
Polls say Bernie going to win nomination. Then things will get real interesting.
Best wishes to the firefighter. Take a long vacation, and heal well
Albany Park is far from being a “ghetto” hood, but it still has its fair share of shitheads! Shooting at First Responders who are doing their best for this unthankful society?!?! The piece-of-shit, whoever he is, deserves repeated kicks in the teeth!!!
This would be good story on Chicago Fire and Med.....
But no one would approve it
I’m no real fan of CFD and I wasn’t there but if they were not treated with the same professionalism and response we would give our own then shame on them and someone should be held accountable. Whether it be the XO who came over the radio or the scene Sergeant. But nothing will happen an animosity will grow. We truly are our own worst enemy.
Reap what you sow.
The hood is gonna be on it's own for fire, EMS and deserves it.
“No-go Zones?” This happened in 017 on a pretty good block... seems like nowhere is safe nowadays.
"No-Go's" go back to 2016, at least in print
Now imagine, if there's CCW holders all over the place in this city. Someone with permit sees this turd take aim, shoots whomever like this Fireman, and then the CCW returns fire upon said turd, thus blowing his fucking head clean off his fucking shoulders with a .45 Hollowpoint, now what?
Yeah, I'll tell you what, 30 year sentence in the slammer, a bunk with bubba when the demo-fucks get through with you. Besides the "rocket scientist's" family getting a payday check every month garnishing your whatever like what they did to Goetz.
That's one major thing many people, and people just like myself are afraid of, and afraid to do in this shithole dump, the inevitable consequences of doing "the right thing".
Let the car fires burn themselves out.
Bummer. Follow-pup article in Slum states that Malinoski
will be next chief. Of what?
The firehouse is a block or so from the location of the shooting... it would be crazy to say that they won't leave "the house".
These men and women work the same shit neighborhoods that many of us do and do it without being armed. I never mind getting the call to back them up on their calls.
OT: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZCPWyzlG9zA
OPS (lol) fired 30 State Troopers in GA. Funny how in Chicago we just promote the fools.
Prediction:
During commercial interlude, we predict SCC is
ether working, keeping a low profile, or watching TV
(Well, maybe all 3; got to keep them guessing)
Half the country will wake up Monday hating the other
half, over half the country already hates their jobs,
and over half the country won't want to be at work.
Gee, sure sounds like Charlie Beck to me. It's got to
be hell to live day-by-day on a countdown to the short
bus. He must have some sort of help like Eddie had.
Seems like they all do. I wonder how many sick days he's
burned so far.
And when fire fighters (and police) stop responding to certain neighborhoods, anticipate a taxpayer revolt along with assorted vigilantism to break out.
Actually I'm surprised this has not already happened. Like some ex-military get robbed or a family member gets beat up. And then some of the buddies tour the "hood" to make things right.

New definitions from the SJW lawyers. “Misunderstood” is now defined as a convicted criminal.
Off topic: I had to inventory some property in the 009 district while working an off duty gig and the desk sgts there were very helpful and professional.
Groot says he wasnt "seriously" injured. Will the media jump on that like they did the president with Iran bombing?
Prayers for him . They should wear vests under their gear .
Rumor from city hall , for safety reasons , firefighters will be working 12 hour shifts . No more sleeping 💤, awakening to alarms , responding to fire 🔥 half awake.
Less injuries to firefighters , quicker responses to fires , traffic accidents, medical emergencies .
Right by my house
First of all - on behalf of CFD - we thank you for your help and support. We are brother in blue. We have to have each other’s backs - because no one else does. Thanks for the continued support on scenes as well. As I always have said on my FB and on here - you guys are ALWAYS welcome in our firehouses - for a cup of coffee, a bite to eat or just somewhere you guys want to let your guard down. We got your back!
As far as the body armor question above. Yes it was a fight a few years ago. A field chief, who liked to stir the pot, always wore one. They tried getting him for being out of uniform. He took it and ran. We now have a body armor policy and we can wear it - but it has a few stipulations that I don’t remember. But it largely goes unenforced.
God Bless you guys! Be safe!!
Hey 8:15AM-"DUDE",My opinion is that it makes more sense to listen to a scanner when you hear and see lots of activity going on then reading a Blog at 8:15 in the morning. GOOF!You must be 1700X,,s driver and District suckass.
Who the hell is 1700X? Fire Drama??? What a piece of work.

Agreed. NW Side is west of Cicero and north of Grand or Armitage.
I have never heard of a Chicago Firefighter being shot in the line of duty. Has anyone else have any thing on this?
Wish him a speedy recovery! Very sad turn of events.
Stop blaming everyone else for something one shithead did to the fireman. It happened. Now, get out there, knock on doors, follow up on leads, and catch the SOB who committed this act. We are still one of the nation's best police depts. Let's get to work and solve this. Enough of the finger pointing.

Imagine rounds in a magazine cooking off in a structure fire. Etc, etc. Fire has their own thing, and they can't be expected to dodge bullets while doing it. What seems likely is to have SWAT provide security. Obviously the TOE would require some serious admin decisions, but that's what the white shirts are paid for. Providing cover fire for the FD... This is where one has to realize that insurgencies are existent. Anyone taking pot shots at a rescuer is an enemy of the state and should be treated as such.
The firefighter was not the target of the shots fired. He was caught in the middle of a shootout between rival gang factions. Groot said she will spare no expense to bring the offender(s) to justice for this crime. Does that also mean that the kid gloves can come off for awhile. Highly unlikely but I thought I would ask. It might also help to keep 017 tac in 017, not send them to 011 to ride drag on the herd.
I threw on the radio after I saw it posted on twitter (less than 5 minutes after the call went out). The response was sickening. The air was clear the entire time. Dispatchers we’re giving out low priority jobs in 016 and I’d call the response to a CFD 10-1 bonafide FF shot a crawl. Midnights in 017 should be ashamed

Not the author of the original post but—-what the fuck do you care if someone listens to the scanner off duty. His or her POINT was that this shit has become so commonplace even the dispatchers are numb to it. Maybe YOU need to do something on your off time. Read a book or do something constructive instead of playing candy crush with your phone, “dude.” Smart ass.

Ah, the question is why reporters aren’t scrambling to obtain that footage and run it on every channel. Because we all know, that’s against the rules now. Might upset a politician. When I saw Lori Lightfoot chastise a reporter during the Eddie (Hold My Hennessy) Johnson “news” conference for asking a question “journalists” were told ahead of time NOT to ask, I knew it was over for reporting. And we as a City and Country will suffer greatly for this manipulation of the media that tells nothing and informs noone.

**Then send a copy of it to the news media..don't just talk about it, show it and prove this bullshit exists in the city.
Not the Northwest side? 4600 North-3300 West? Don't be in denial!
Now, kees me you fool!!!!
Somebody commented of never hearing a CFD personnel shot before ....it has happened three times now once to a paramedic an office of fire investigation guy and now this Firefighter ...
So when will Trump declare all known gangs a terrorist organizations. Would help to prosecute in Federal courts.
The offender, if caught and detained is entitled to an I bond. If no I bond is given, then he gets a pizza party from Dart.

What the fuck do you want Officers to do??? They saturated the area and started checking buildings, etc. They all responded as quickly as possible. This department is full of whiny fucks that need to retire already. 017 district is understaffed and tact teams were in 011 (Fucking joke). Once the scene was safe, it was taped off. If you don’t have all the facts...stfu! You probably work at HQ on a merit promotion. Jeez...this department is a joke.

I like your enthusiasm but unfortunately we are not one of the top police departments anymore. The damage of so many obscene merit picks is too much to overcome. Eddie and the frat bro’s really set this department back quite a long ways. Not trying to sound racist but it’s true.

VERY perceptive of you!
That CFD Comm. Ford is on his way out. He has his own ‘Eddie Johnson’ type love fest goin’ on with a nitwit that couldn’t even pass the last Chiefs exam (but was promoted after the City has to rescore the results so idiots could pass). Doesn’t help either that his posse of morons completely blundered the recent promotional exams and cost the taxpayers millions. Stupidity is what this city must have running everything...
Was on my way to a fire on Kimball and Montrose to take pictures. Got stuck in traffic for a spell and, as I sat there on Montrose a cute little caravan of boys on bicycles rode past, the last one holding a giant revolver in his right hand, almost dragging on the ground, in broad daylight. Must have been on their way to take corrective measures with some disagreeable child. That was 15 years ago, and nothing has changed since.
God’s speed for a full recovery.
This has happened before. Medic was shot in the abdomen through a door in the ‘80’s in Englewood while working Ambulance 8. Couple of other near misses over the years.

Stop spreading STUPID. After experiments were run, the Sporting Arms and Ammunition Manufacturer's Association issued a report documenting that small arms ammunition in a fire cannot launch the bullet. Only on TV and in movies do cartridges, when tossed in a fire, cook off like they were enclosed in the thick steel of a firearm's chamber. The sound heard when ammunition burns is the primer being popped out as the propellant ignites. Wear safety glasses and you're good to go. As for this specific case, body armor doesn't usually protect legs. It's just another illustration of how civilization is draining away from our society, one neighborhood at a time, on our way back to utter savagery. I say, ring such 'hoods with concertina wire and play Escape From New York.

Are you even a cop!? Or are a Paul Blart that works at the mall and listens to the scanner because you want to be in "the know" of things?. I'm sure that responding officers along with the dispatcher did not take this job lightly, so unless you were on scene don't sit here and type up some BS. I've responded to numerous calls coming out as a 10-1 involving CFD and I can tell you that the number of officers responding could fill an entire parking lot at the district. With that being said, I'm hoping for a speedy recovery for my CFD brother that got shot. CFD/CPD strong!
OK easy to understand whats going on here. Cato is going to be area 4 dep in a few months. So why wouldn't he steal manpower from 016 and 017 to help drive down numbers in his new area, kinda smart move on his part....second part of the story that has been hushed in 017. A SGT on 3rd watch (kind of a arrogant prick ) just dumped out of gangs has informant and info on the building where the shots were fired from. Turns info over to tact with the informant but warrant stops cause they are shipped to 011. Midnight guys on scene enter the apartment in question cause of bullet holes in the windows and recover 3 guns and a ton of drugs....if 017 tact isnt sent out the warrant is done and no fireman shot.

1st of all up until now this has been “an isolated incident” and “unfortunate” for the CFD. It is very unfortunate that first responders aren’t allowed to do their job without someone being a POS. 2nd it has been “an isolated incident” as it isn’t happening to members of the CFD.
Hopefully they catch the person and makes an example of him. Also he was probably told what to say by city hall. The CFD hasn’t had a
boss with balls since Robert Hoff left back in 2012 because he didn’t want to work for the little midget that had the 5th floor after Daley.
Under Hoff’s watch all hell would of been raised had this happened.
That area and around it have been in a gang war for awhile now. Shots are fired almost nightly but 011 needs manpower from an already shortened manpower district??? This was a gang that had been our all evening involved in gang activity. They came home, the rival gang started the car on fire and waited for the other gang to come back out. CFD got caught in crossfire. Now media, lets report on this.
Albany Park IS the northwest side. Two of its alderpeople (33 & 35) are Socialist. The other alderperson (39) us Democratic.
Is it true that one gang lives on the block & a rival gang came & torched the car & drove around the block. CFD arrives & the whiteheads that one the car come outside & saw the car on fire. The opposing hand drive back & open up on the home team. Gun fight ensues & the firefighter gets hit on cross fire! Bad guys take off with the home team, bad guys go after them! This is done while the 017th Tact team is in 011th district protecting the fine, upstanding citizens, who bring almost nothing to the table!
Thanks to our heroes. Kobe Bryant is not a hero. He's an entitled athlete/rapist in a jersey. The real heroes are the ones who put on the uniforms that matter and show up every day. Military included. Where are the moments of silence for all the heroes who put their lives on the line every day? And JZ and Beyond Me don't stand for the National Anthem? This society has it's priorities f*cked up.
Shit's been going on in Gary for years. The gang bangers torch an abandoned building and hide. As soon as the fire department arrives, the bangers use them for target practice.

Listening to this response to a firefighter SHOT in 017. It is the most casual response I have ever listened to on air while off duty. Like no one is taking it remotely seriously. And then 1700X had the disrespect to call it “the fire drama” on air. Took them 40 minutes to tape and block off. Why in the hell is this not being responded to with the same seriousness as a cop being shot? Imagine fire casually rolling for a shot cop. Unreal.

One: Calm is what you want over the radio, not two year wonder's screaming and dispatchers who's hair is on fire..
Two: Officers were there within 15 seconds and grabbed someone running from the scene.
Three: The entire district as well as other districts and a state trooper were there and a did a great job finding evidence that spanned the entire block, including getting guns and dope out of an apartment.
Four: Stop drinking while listening to the scanner or trying to stir shit up goof. Nobody said anything about "fire drama" idiot. I'm sure at some point they will release the tapes and prove you are on bullshit.
So when will Trump declare all known gangs a terrorist organizations. Would help to prosecute in Federal courts.

That would be raciss and drive up the baby mama dole rolls
Nobody knows where albany park is but everyone knows where the admiral theater is and thats on the northwest side. The admiral theater is in 017. Normally a quiet district but lately the gangbangers have been feuding and playing with their guns. Time to start doing blue cards and isr's on them and do a lot of missions, that will make them stop. Oh, don't forget the event numbers, very important.
in the late 60s and early 70s dude snipers routinely shot at fireman and policeman. i was parking equiptment at 62nd and dorchester firehouse ( like fuckin somalia ) in about 1970 when a tac team was ambushed and killed behind the southmoor hotel in the alley at 63 rd stoney. police had to roll with fire and other cars had to come and watch the squads and rigs in the days before portable radios. things got pretty good race wize until mr fundemental hopey changey got in then it was like 1968 all over again. the tech has changed but the old time hate is back and in full force. cant have a peaceful society get in the way of fundemental change, gotta have full revolt so the socialists can step in and save the constitution. head on a swivel boys and girls, the bad old days are back.
