mtutiger Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 (edited) Clearly there should have only been a single point of entry into and out of this *checks notes* 4th of July Parade. It may be too soon, but with the rationality displayed by some, surprised it hasn't been suggested yet Edited July 4, 2022 by mtutiger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtutiger Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 (edited) Seriously, Highland Park? Like the one featured in Ordinary People and half of John Hughes' movies? If that can happen in a town like Highland Park, literally nowhere is safe Edited July 4, 2022 by mtutiger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let’s be precise; Everywhere within the jurisdiction of the conservative misreading of the 2nd amendment of the US Constitution. Our condition is not some random accident, it is the direct result of deliberate American conservative movement objectives.

I dont think it's just G2's word... we are clearly an outlier in the developed world when it comes to firearm deaths. Doesn't matter if it's isolated incidents like the one in Highland Park or a school in Uvalde, or criminal activity on the South Side of Chicago or in South Dallas, the intensity and frequency is different here than elsewhere.

I once heard Breyer say ( loosely paraphrasing) that when things made no sense constitutionally, that the court had two choices, leave the republic to the vagueries of the amendment process, or step up to the plate and do something reasonable for the benefit of the nation. We need a lot more of that approach and a lot less of idiots like Thomas and Alito who would drive us over a cliff on a fool’s errand trying to parse the 18th Century into the 21st. He’s going to be missed. Edited July 4, 2022 by gehringer_2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of them matter. Thoughts and prayers and focusing on Backing the Blue is how they distract themselves from the cognitive dissonance that occurs when their claim that more guns keeps everyone safer butts up against the reality that more guns means more gun deaths.

Edman85 Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 Guys, I had flashbacks to 2007/Brian/VT today. I will preface this by saying my family is okay. But there was a short period there when I didn't know and I had such shitty cell service. On the family group text, my brother sends a pic of my nephew at a parade. My brother lives in greater Chicago. An hour later a friend at the party I was at said "Shooting at an Illinois parade." I didn't have the service to find out which parade or hear back from my brother. It ended up being a different parade. This needs to stop, now. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chasfh Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 I seriously wonder: while he was being arrested, did the shooter try to appeal to what he assumed would be the cops’ Trumpiness? That’s the kind of thing people with a sense of entitlement would do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highland Park has some of the strictest gun laws in the country. Here is a link to the gun laws in that city. https://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/HP_Firearms-Ordinance.pdf Will you retract this when we find put he bought it legally in Indiana or Wisconsin?

If he bought the guns legally there and then brought them to Illinois could that be used as a Federal crime? Just looking for a way to impose the death penalty on this bastard (if he is the shooter). no need to have taxpayers pay for his care and feeding.
