Like rats from a sinking ship, they swim out to the collar counties.
My beloved DuPage County is sinking fast.
DuPage had a good plan, and it worked well for years. When the state and federal government DEMANDED minority housing in your town, make it geographically undesirable away from taxpaying citizens, swampland is good, an old junkyard is good...
Then came Uber; GAME OVER.
A nearby town gym was open until 11 on weekends, free to locals, $2 for non-residents; very popular, our kids went often.
Then the unwashed started arriving, and then they would dash in without paying, and they all looked alike.
Next, they strong-armed the high school girl who collected the two dollars. IIRC she had been selected for the job because of her pleasant smile.
...An armed carjacking!!!!!!
So much for gym night, and my kids enjoyed it.
? You canโt take potshots at someone stealing your car. Thatโs murder in any state.

I am not a lawyer, legal analyst, or officer of the court, but I am reasonably certain that shooting at somebody from cover without a threat to life or great bodily harm would be considered attempted murder in some jurisdictions. If you have a damn good lawyer, and a lot of money to pay in legal defenses, by all means...
“Don’t Confront Instead, snipe from cover”
Who says call of duty video games arent educational?
The victim was reported in good condition at Northwestern Memorial Hospital.
All sorts of things to say from that.
***Then the unwashed started arriving***
I noticed the same when our city did away with vagrancy laws. Suddenly the big library was over run with bums and drunks piling in on the soft couches and chairs sleeping all day in air conditioned coolness. The library had to close for a few weeks due to bed bug infestation from the bums.
Local museums were free, but due to the same problem had to start charging entrance fees to keep the bums out.
“Let see...Entrance fee $10. Mad Dog 20-20, $10. Decisions, decisions...”
I like this guys response to his catalytic converter being stolen.

I had a friend who had a problem with kids driving in his driveway at 3am honked their horn and drove off.
I suggested he put some shingle nails in his driveway and see what happens. It flatened all 4 tires. The kids dad had to call the wrecker to have the car towed to the tire repair store. End of problem.
