Betcha the robber will be back—he just found a “Patsy”.
I'll say you do, Rep. Younge.
If it’s East St. Louis, or even just St. Louis, it is a Democrat bastion where sometimes the dead vote on Election Day.
How is it possible? I thought handguns were all but banned in Illinois?
And that’s why “Reverend” Jeremiah Wright moved and retired to the gated white community. He was tired of this sheeeeeeeeeeeeeet
That is supposed to be their family, dear lady.
I go the East St. Louis regularly for business. The downtown reminds me of the empty city in the original War of the Worlds movie.
Illinois needs to tighten its lax gun control laws
Poor guy, all he needed was a hug from his granny.
IL needs a mental health support system alright, for it's voters. IL voters keep electing liberal Democrat morons like this woman to the state house, and that's a sure sign of mental illness.
IL also needs a law allowing lawful citizens to be armed for their own self defense against criminals like the woman's attacker, but instead Democrat lawmakers are trying hard to take away the few gun rights that IL citizens have left. Gun laws do nothing but disarm honest people who obey the law, and those people aren't the problem. Criminals don't care about gun laws, they're criminals and breaking laws is their line of work. Why would anyone expect them to obey gun laws when they don't obey laws against murder, rape, robbery, etc? How can people be stupid enough to think that ANY gun control law will prevent crime when common sense tells anyone who has even a smidgen of it just the opposite?
Yeah, right; the thug (of unknown description, though his clothing colors are well described) who robbed her would have rather been working? Get a clue!
If I were a decent young black man I'd be pi$$ed (or at least annoyed) at me for my assumptions, but hey, what else could I think?
When your work takes you to particular neighborhoods, as does mine, you've got a lot to consider. Call police HQ before going to the property and request a rollby. Don't make eye contact and you're perceived as a target. Make eye contact and you're a threat or a challenge. Don't wear anything red or blue, or you'll be dissing one of the gang factions...

“This robbery and what’s happening to this community is the result of a lack of a supportive system for our youth. We need jobs,” she said. “This happened in broad daylight at noon. We need a mental health support system”
This is a classic example of “stuck on stupid”.
Uhh, lady, he didn’t rob you cause he wanted a job or was crazy. He robbed you because he was a thug.
The perp probably voted for her.
Live by the bowl of lukewarm liberal mush, die by the bowl of lukewarm liberal mush.
Gee only $7.00. Bet the youth didn’t check her freezer.
A red cap and a red jacket? Did he also have a long white beard?
My wife was born there in 1963 and her parents moved out in the late 1960's as part of the white-flight that was going on everywhere at that time, but particularly, from East St. Louis. My father-inlaw abandoned a business in East St. Louis because things were so bad.
In the early 1980's a cousin of my wife who lived in rural Southern Illinois mistakenly exited from the freeway into East St. Louis while traveling to St. Louis. Within one block he was dead with five bullets in him. He had a wife and three kids.
East St. Louis doesn't need jobs or mental health care. It needs to be either walled off from humanity or leveled to the ground. There may not be a worse place on Earth. It may actually be safer to walk around Baghdad carrying an American Flag than to walk one block in East St. Louis.
