#1 Wait a minute! Chicago has really strict gun-control, how could this happen?

#2 Not in Chicago but about an hour outside of it.
Supposedly looking for two whites and one black for the shooting.

#3 Fox Lake area.

WAY different from Chicago proper.

#4 I wouldn't be surprised if there were neighborhood armed patrols. All with CC licenses and some fairly heavy firepower.

Pretty 'Midwest' mindset around there. They WILL protect themselves.

#5 Thanks Mullah & Glenmore.

I've never understood the "area" of Chicago appellation.
How can something that far away be considered an area of Chicago?

#6 'Chicago' is a city/state, like LA, NY or Houston, that spans areas of IL, IN, MI, and WI.

#7 Last I was in Chicago, an hour means 10 miles.

Out here, an hour means 85 65 miles.

#9 I spent about an 'hour' there myself yesterday, swksvolFF.

You have to take into account the extreme traffic congestion at times (with constant ongoing construction to repair poorly built roadways - think 'corrupt officials') in actually understanding how Chicagoans think. I know that other major cities have traffic issues having driven them many times, but Chicago's are definitely 'unique'.

#10 Between dogs and thermal gear used from a helicopter I find it hard to imagine they could get far if they didn't have a vehicle (cleared out before the manhunt) or live local.

#11 Oh I see, up by the WI border. Suppose that means Six Flags is also in Chicago.

Dallas. Fort. Worth.
Where an hour can equal 2 miles.
On the bright side, it isn't dangerous to drive through there. Oh except for the crotch rockets doing mach 2 in between lanes.
