Four people were wounded when gunfire erupted at a Chicago-area mall, sending frightened last-minute holiday shoppers and employees scurrying for cover.

Obviously the Indiana gun show loophole. I hear tell that 4 spd semi autos and F-15.3s can be bought just across the state line. Right groot?

Apparently this area is not accustomed to thus happening so you’re right.

What’s wrong with those gunmen? Why don’t they just loot-and-scoot like normal mall thugs? Sure, that might not be as glamorous. But it’s much more profitable,

No big deal and no surprise.

The people of Chicago do not deserve our thoughts, prayers or sympathy.

They have voted for this decade after decade after decade.

They are getting exactly what they have voted for - good for them.

Those in Chicago that don’t like it - are welcomed to leave.

This is outside Chicago.

Homes in Oak Brook range from $500,000 to 5 Mil.

Maybe the shooters were trying to recreate Jingle Bells from the sound of gunfire

Didn’t happen.

Everybody knows guns aren’t allowed in malls.

I have a good laugh at that line everytime I watch “Caddy Shack”. I loved Rodney Dangerfield’s character.
