A few years ago, my wife and I were placing a takeout order at a local deli.
When the deli person told us the price, a handsome young man and his attractive wife told the clerk, they would pay for our orders. Then, both of them hugged my wife.
I found out that they had been patients of my wife years before. They had joined the Navy, became doctors and were heading to San Diego to serve their active duty time.
They had been training in a Chicago ER for a few weeks to get hands on training re treatment/management of gunshot wounds.
Apparently, at their new hospital, the docs there would spend a shift every now and then at a LA ER,to keep up their gunshot treatment skills.

Not bad considering it’s only SATURDAY MORNING!!!
I think you summed it up about right. It’s all for show. That’s all progressive libtards are about.

Probably visiting for educational purposes the future site of the Obama Presidential Library. One wonders when it’s built if that site will include machines selling life insurance policies against possible death from the experience, kind of like the ones they used to have at airports to insure against death from crashes.
Put masks on the guns.
These weekly (or more) stories from Chicago remind me of the daily “body counts” from the mid-sixties about the Viet Nam war. We know how that turned out.
Chicago folks should be grateful these gang bangers can’t shoot…
