Rifle Fire at...McCormick Place?

The train station. This should probably be bigger news - and might be if there were actual conventioneers attending McCormick Place events:

  • Police are looking for the man who fired a rifle on Metra’s McCormick Place platform and then fled from the station Tuesday morning.

    The man stepped off of a northbound Metra Electric train at the station around 10:20 a.m. and placed a duffle bag on the platform, according to a spokesperson for the train system.

    The gunman, who was alone on the platform, then took a rifle out of the bag and fired one round to the west, then put the weapon back into his bag and left the station, the spokesperson said.

    Metra police “have no idea” what the man was shooting at, according to the spokesperson. No injuries were reported and investigators were still looking for the bullet at midday. A shell casing was found at the platform, however.

We did a quick Google search for this incidents and two places covered it:

And last time we checked, this isn't anywhere near Wrigleyville or Boystown. 

And the media is still providing cover for Groot and the absolute descent into Hell she has pushed Chicago into because if this had major coverage, there's barely a convention that might have returned to town.

This was a dry-run/test fire for the

election fraud in the swing states
result in POTUS 45 getting the
bullshit election "call" by
MSM successfully overturned
at SCOTUS the left goes even
more apeshit than they did in
2016...

Spirits of the air are already
abuzz about increased military

No wonder the democrats pissed such
an immense bitch over "peaceful transition

appoint a Supreme Court Justice to keep ACB
from being the reliable tie-breaker to check
that turn-coat John Roberts and prevent the
misrulings from Obama/Bush/Clinton Appellate
Judges from being held in case of a 4-4
SCOTUS tie...

"Promise that you and your base won't fight

Anybody that gets off at that stop, with less than 10 friends, is a fool. If you've ever driven down "Daly's secret road", you know just where it is. It's dark and isolated. No one would ever find you if someone wanted to get rid of you.

Sounds like this guy placed some kind of sick bet with a non-believer, And WON. Got away scot free without a mention by the MSM. As far as the convention business here, it is and has been gone with the wind for some time now. Never to return.

Maybe a dry run or test for something bigger? Or, just some goof who bought a new rifle, had no place to test it and thought McCormick would be a great venue.

I’m sure if anyone knows some first district officers this picture can be found very quickly. A bike officer in 001 showed me a picture of the gunman (I’m not from 001, was just driving through) and the man was of middle eastern descendent shooting off the rifle. What was this? A test run to see how fast the police would respond?

There will be no conventions or trade shows in Chicago in 2021. Mayor Lighthead's lackeys have told the Convention associations that McCormick Place will be closed for 2021 for all events.

The Big Lie continues with help of the leftist media covering up for Groot and her murderous city dwellers. Lying, deception, cover ups are all part of the Larry Lightfoot administration. Rampaging hunter/killers roam the city streets killing 737 residents and nearly 4000 shootings and maimings. No one gives a shit. Its just business as usual in Murder City.

The left wing media propagandist protect the Murder mayor and spread her Wuhan Red Death fear mongering, lockdowns and church closings; all the while the little imp flees with big bird to other states to vacation and frolic away from prying eyes. Get a ways with her "buddy guards" to get special hair cuts and buy cheap little boy's suits in the suburbs befitting the dwarf.

The barking dog of a mayor is despicable and deplorable in her words and deeds.

Civilian here.

My question is,

why is the media giving Mayor Lightfoot (and before her Emanuel and Daley) cover? It has to be about money, but I'm still trying to figure out that angle.

Look, this started years ago when the media refused to provide racial descriptions of alleged perpetrators. Guess they didn't want to accused of racism - and I'm still trying to figure that one out as the truth is the truth.

When president Obama was a candidate back in 2008, he gave a speech in Philadelphia in which he said it was time in America for a serious discussion about race, and I agreed with him. During his 8 years in the White House, I was waiting for this discussion. It never happened (and the "Beer Summit" between president Obama, vice president Biden, professor Henry Gates, and Cambridge Police Sgt. James Crowley doesn't count).

Ironically, such a discussion began during president Trump's term, but sadly on the streets.

So what if he gets caught. As long as he isn't a white guy he will be out with a warning in a day. I wonder how much planning went into this. Does he have an observer counting response time? Checking media to see if they release video, getting an idea of how good those cameras are? I wonder if this is a test for something more kinetic. I wonder who his eventual target would be. Maybe a vigilante, maybe a gangland style assassin. Who knows really.

Are we to believe that there’s not a camera on the entire system? Seems these two subsidized agencies should have a tight, well watched operations. Let’s not stir up and frighten the very few commuting public with a video image.

Who ain’t talking/cooperating? There’s a lot missing from the article and by no fault of the CWB.
Folding stock (braced pistol) SBR/rifle (and there’s plenty of types too) on a train - in these challenging times of terror, this is a big deal in sister cities of Paris and London. Wonder why or if this case is being studied by more than just the local auxiliary agency.

Jurisdictionally, who’s investigation is it and does it matter. Prosecutions may spell out “a criminal act” to knowingly and without justification fire a weapon upon a public conveyance, the Area would spend 80 hours of searching and reviewing video for a 2 minute phone-in FELONY DENIED from the CookCo States Atty Office, even with an indisputable video images, 3 hour video custodial interview, signed statements, a smoking gun and a “yeah, I Diddit’.

After all, it is Sanctuary City where anything and everything is excusable in order to keep the county jail empty.
Dry run or the overused and a completely acceptable defense “found it and seeing if it worked” that as once uttered by the piss bum that “shot at the mountain” near Buckingham Fountain a couple months ago. There’s no argument that ignorance and stupidity by both the defendant and the prosecution is undeniable.

Reporting incidents of rampant crime and the politicians doing nothing about it. One of these issues is going to have to stop.

Hope you are right about the SC and Trump.
Sadly I suspect they will pretend the election is a 2A case and ignore it.

Did it seem obvious to anyone else they were going to go for the steal?

When the person in charge of counting the votes in PA says "When we are done counting, Joe Biden will be the winner"before any votes have been counted, when they had the media running stories telling the dem faithful to not worry when they see Trump way ahead in vote totals, that is just the "red mirage". Once they get done counting, Ol' Joe will be the winner. Well "Son of a bitch" to coin a phrase, it seems that Ol' Joe pulled off a statically impossible come from behind victory, just like they told us. In a hand full of counties, all located in swing states, he outperformed 0bama. Those counties wound up having nearly 100% voter turnout. Nothing out of the ordinary there. Then they fall back on "There is no fraud. The polls all said biden would win and he did. It's all legit." Just telling us ahead of time how you will cheat doesn't somehow make it legitimate when you do.

The anti crime blog - Crime in Wrigleyville and Boystown is excellent.

I'm interested in starting a similar anti crime blog that covers crime from the South Loop all the way South down through Hyde Park to the Southern tip of Jackson Park (might be renamed Obama park).

Can anyone at SCC introduce me to some of the main folks at CWB to help us get started - we need to learn how to: raise money , protect writer and readers' privacy from criminal and ideological persecution, violence.

We live in increasingly rough and terrible times, almost Orwell's "1984" times with way worse racial and criminal, sexual cults.

Let's try to keep the faith for the good people, good things still left in our Chicago or...

We can run away - but where to go?

But they have that 800 person unit downtown...plus 001s and 018s personnel. Plus the personnel pulled from the districts. That can't happen. So what exactly is that unit doing? TSS cards...the commander got an attaboy for his unit doing TSS cards. Meanwhile numerous car break ins, carjackings, a 16 year old shot twice on the face, etc

Testing response times. Probing. Keep an eye open for weird, unexplainable acts like this. Watch for a pattern. Even a pattern of inexplicability is a pattern to watch for. Look at them all together and then ask "why?" You still think looting Water Tower was spontaneous?
Let me tell you about this bridge I have for sale. Oh. Wait. Daley actually sold it. And the car jackings are not hard to figure out. They can jack a car right in front of a patrol car, and YOU CAN'T CHASE THEM. 2020 is free cars year. Duh.

"President Donald Trump’s dream of having Pennsylvania’s GOP-controlled legislature overturn the state’s election results received what appeared to be its final death blows Thursday with a late-night order from the U.S. Supreme Court and an unequivocal statement from the General Assembly’s Republican leadership that they had no intention of doing so". I'm afraid that with time running down, and the swamp rats so thick on both sides and working together, despite the rampant fraud... Biden/Ho will get in. The republicans will sit on their hands and just accept it. Fraid we need to be more like the dems in some ways.

Did you see the new proposed legislation by racist Cory Brooker regarding farmers and farm land. Something akin to Zimbabwe and South Africa. https://www.arthursido.com/2020/12/cory-bookers-plan-to-turn-america-into.html

In regard to the person wanting to start a crime blog for south loop and Hyde park, and keeping faith for the good pepón chicago. You better stop sniffing glue. The “good people” voted for all these clowns that do nothing and condone this violence and anti police matter. Do a blog on the whole city, because it’s getting worse everywhere. Only good thing is that you can probably pick up a condo in south loop for a good deal now. But don’t leave after dark, that place(south loop) is a complete shit show. All the smart people are leaving city. The good? Really? Try stupid ass victims!
