"Times UK????????"

No, The Telegraph (UK)

[tgslTakoma]

I guess we’ll have to wait and see if this thread gets yanked, too.

[Pinkbell]

This is from the UK Telegraph so it must be a measure in England. I don’t get it, though.

I couldn’t find if they caught the guy. Is he still on the loose or in custody?

[OCC]

Police said that security cameras in the store had allowed them to tentatively identify the man, who is understood to have a history of armed robbery and a murder conviction.

And someone allowed his history to repeat itself.

I think it was pulled because too many people made fat jokes about Lane Bryant customers.

[Aaron0617]

All four threads including the one I created still exist. Also, No updates since early this morning. Suspect still on the loose.

“If I were livin’ in IL, I’d be carryin’. law or no law...Life is simply too valuable...”

I used to carry all the time (S&W Model 10 snub or Walther PPK/S). If caught, it was just a $500 fine and loose the gun. Now 10 years later its a “class X felony”. You won’t even be able to buy .22 long rifle cartridges at Wal-Mart.

People like that shooter shouldn't be allowed to have guns. Oh, wait, he is a felon and thus isn't allowed to have a gun. Now how could he have gotten an illegal gun? Duh...

Another gun free and defenseless victim zone succeeds in protecting their patrons. [/sarcasm]

[Lijahsbubbe]

I was looking for it also. I guess one of us could have posted it...

[Admin Moderator]

One or two got pulled after being damaged beyond repair by jokes about Lane Bryant.

A number of threads remain. There may be problems with title search.

"the plus-sized clothing store"

Was this little bit of info really needed?

It goes to motive. Seeing as how the government is now considering laws to punish the obese, the fellow was actually thinning out the public at-large.

[TNCMAXQ]

Just like I said over on the other thread about the teen scumbags who stole a girl scout’s money, people just tolerate too much bad behavior. This piece of garbage was a convicted killer but he was out on the street?? We will probably hear the usual outrage now that this shouldn’t have happened. Yet every time it does happen, nothing changes. Criminals will get even softer treatment when a Democrat president is appointing federal judges too. Voters don’t think of things like that.

there are a few threads

I am still curious as to why this is not being reported in the US media. Has anyone seen or heard anything about it, other than this thread?

[PAR35]

...don’t they tell the deserving public if the bastard is black, white, Latino, etc.?

You can rant, or you can read the story. I read, you rant.

"a 5ft 8in tall black man"

[metmom]

Tinley Park Police Sgt TJ Grady said that they were looking for a 5ft 8in tall black man, weighing between 16 and 20 stone and wearing a waist-length black coat, a black knit cap, dark jeans and with braids in his hair.

Whatever happened to metric? All I ever hear is criticism for the US sticking to English units.

[RDTF]

yes - all over. But the election news is taking priority
