Go to Second City Cop blog and read the comments on this. Looks like many in the CPD think it’s an inside job....gun walking.

The Smith and Wesson M and P 15 Sport Rifle– virtually identical to the M-4 assault rifle U.S. troops use at war, police use to keep the peace; or citizens use to create chaos, in the AR-15 Bushmaster Incarnation.

The Smith and Wesson M and P 15 Sport Rifle– virtually identical to the M-4 assault rifle U.S. troops cannot use on terrorists (because of the rules of engagement), police use to shoot dogs or citizens who annoy them; or citizens use protect themselves against civilian and Federal criminals, in the AR-15 Bushmaster Incarnation.

Corrected for grammar and punctuation.

Thirteen of them were stolen from a train parked in Englewood– complete with their high-capacity 30-round magazines.

So THAT's why the Federale's were in the shipping yard my commuter train passes through every day ......

Here's the thing: that shipping yard is HUGE. At any time there are literally THOUSANDS of boxcars parked there temporarily on their way to another destination.

Finding the one boxcar with those weapons in them is truly like looking for a needle in a haystack. Conclusion: Inside Job. Someone knew what was in that boxcar and precisely where it was in the shipping yard to steal them.

No way in hell it was anything else.

This sure reads like satire, or they’ve got some *really* flaky people in Chicago.

It's both. Trust me on this.

The place is riddled with gangs and violent crimes of all kinds.

and it looks like a war zone with burned out, boarded up homes next to vacant lots where other burned out, boarded up homes used to be.

The commuter train I take goes through it every day. I've often pondered filming that part of my commute and putting it up on YouTube for other Freepers to see. It really does look like a war zone and I cannot imagine how people (and children) manage to actually live there...

IIRC, there was already something like that about the same time F&F went down, supposedly out of Indiana. Not many news outlets picked it up (Hot Air, for one, did), but it happened in early Sept 2011, just before Benghazi. It ("Gangwalker") and the "grenadewalker" cases were swept out of the news cycle by Benghazi.

Imho, the way the administration gets away with so much is to have story after story trump the previous one, and then wait for or precipitate something like Aurora or CT to wipe the news cycle 'clean', or try to kick a family off a ranch or call someone a 'racist' to push their stuff out the back door of the average American TV viewers minds (if it ever made the tube).

By the time the latest overblown kerfuffle settles down, people (short attention spans) have generally forgotten about the last series of scandals and misdeeds.

Simple, but damnably effective PSYOPS tactic.
