Chicago things.

Though, mainly another day in America.

Thought this was another part of Illinois. If it is Chicago then these things happen all the time over there.

Highland Park is NOT Chicago.. It's a rich predominately white suburb that's 40 mins away

Why are people saying this bullshit?

Because MAGAs couldn't help it and told on themselves. They thought they had some stereotypical gang shooting narrative on their hands to exploit.

Grew up around 20 minutes from Highland Park.

Highland Park is super safe and is mostly older folks and nothing ever remotely interesting happens there, which is why this is so shocking.

You are literally in a topic about a shooting occurring in one of those areas. Why are you talking about Chicago? Why does this live situation require you to deflect from it?
To be fair. He was responding to another poster who brought up something about the violence levels in Chicago being talked up by politics. He did not just randomly bring Chicago into the topic of conversation. Someone else did.

He just responded by saying that the violence in Chicago is very real and not just being gassed up.

A little basic reading could have solved this misunderstanding.

No one was bringing up violence in Chicago. Which is a purely alt right deflection tool to not talk about gun violence and shootings since Chicago does not have significantly higher gun violence than cities in red states.

You can also check the edit history, he wasn't responding to anyone.

Neither, he's still at large.

https://www.cnn.com/us/live-news/illinois-shooting-july-fourth-parade-07-04-22/index.html

Police are still searching for the suspect who is described as an 18 to 20-year-old White man. The suspect is still considered armed and dangerous, officials say, and a rifle was recovered from the scene.

Post 22. And post 23 quoted it to add their take to it, and didn't correct them.

Also, you don't have to quote someone to make a response with it in mind.

So again, sorry for thinking this was in Chicago. That's sincerely my fault for going off other posts without checking for myself.

Why are people saying this bullshit?

The article I read, an ABC article, had "Chicago suburb" in the headline. If it's 40 minutes away, then shame on them. That's like saying that I live in Indianapolis.

I don't know if they're doing it for a reference point because Chicago is the most famous location in Illinois or if they're intentionally trying to exploit the city's reputation for gun violence. Either way, it's unacceptable that they would claim it as a Chicago shooting if it's nowhere near the city.

People do that all the time.

They'll say they're from Chicago, then asked where in Chicago, they'll say Evanston or something.

They do it because it's more recognizable than saying their town's actual name.

As someone who lived in the burbs there for many years, its not uncommon for any Chicago suburb to just be referenced as Chicago for the ease of reference in major media stories like this.

Being that Chicago is a very large city it's not too far from the city limits, but it's easily a 45 minute drive to Downtown.

There are tons of cities with worse gun violence than Chicago per capita, but since they are in states with Republican state governments, they don't fit the narrative.

More like we need to stop normalizing gun culture. It's not that there's guns available. Legally or illegally, the gun nuts will find a way to get them. There's families that post pictures on FB with their 20+ guns, some next to their own children.

Gun obsession is a mental illness and until we start classifying it as one, nobody is going to get help for it and these shootings will continue to happen.

Love it when people non sequitur into "BUT CHICAGO"

No. Murders that happen in Chicago are murders where the weapon of choice is a gun. Mass shootings are serial rampages that only occur because a gun is the easiest way of enacting the killer's behavior.

They are not the same.

Ah true.

Since gun violence is now the leading cause of death of infants, it's important that more of them make it past the ectopic pregnancy stage I guess. Don't want to miss anything good.

I don't agree labeling it as a mental illness, but you got the main point. No other first world country has a Gun Culture like we do here in the states, it's a phenomena found only in America. Nothing will ever get done about guns because it's so ingrained in our culture. It's not just a Southern Conservative Republican thing, I personally know SJW'esque people who absolutely love guns and go on weekly target shootings. Until we solve the issue of the gun culture we have here, nothing will ever get done.
