This jewel of Illinois is looking like a suburb of Baghdad these days, what with the surge in gang murders. But wait - I thought Chicago has some of the toughest gun laws in the States? Don't these criminals know that? It's illegal for them to have handguns in Chicago!
Watching the TV, I'm seeing the Chicago PD stepping things up - more patrols, more dudes running around in black "combat" attire, more helicopters etc...
One thing caught my eye - the news chick made mention of the PD being issued M4s...
M4s are essentially carbine versions of the venerated M16 combat rifle, and are fully automatic.
Scary stuff...
Sporadic blogging about whatever interests or irritates me, whenever time and inclination intersect.

I'm surprised they don't take Chicago, Detroit and St Louis and just make them into huge prisons like in Escape from New York.
Chicago, famous for corruption - what a useless city.
