Man killed, another person injured in shooting on I-94 - chicagotribune.com

Are gang bangers now shooting "car to car" ? Seems like the potential for collateral damage will increase dramatically.

If by "now" you mean "for as long as there have been gang bangers and cars," then yes.

I hope that eagerly pouncing on every negative thing that happens in the city is helping you push your real estate in New Lenox or wherever, though. It would be a shame if you were doing all of this for nothing.

This isn't anything new, bangers have shot at each other from cars frequently. They stalk and ambush each other car to car. I've witnessed chases like this, though seldom was I ever present for the outcome.

Maybe the fact that it happened on the expressway was a little unique, but this is not uncommon on the streets.

New Lenox? CHET? You gotta be kidding me. Chet will tell you all about how there's no oppurtunity out that way and all the suburban "employment centers" are in Dupage County or up north. Even if you work in New Lenox, Chet will tell to to live closer to employment centers in Dupage.

You may have missed the words "or wherever" in my post.

No, I caught them. Chet's agenda is more specific than getting people to move to "the suburbs". It's not whatever.

Maybe I shouldnt have said anything becuse you're a junior member though. I am kinda supposed you even know that much about Chet..

What, no State Troopers on the Ryan to do something?

Oh yeah, they're too busy with revenue-generating speed traps up by O'hare and Schumburg to patrol areas with potential crime.

You have a better shot of seeing an actual UFO on the Dan Ryan than a patrol car. A few years ago I had to call in a road rage incident on the Eisenhower and was told there was only 1 unit patroling the entire City expressway system! And this is on a Friday night. The Chicago Police Department used to have a highway patrol unit but it was disbanded years ago. They should bring it back as our highways are a total free for all, especially on weekend nights.

Okay, but I don't really care. He clearly has an anti-city agenda, which I assume has to do with him having something to sell somewhere outside of Chicago. Specifically what or where is really of no concern. Perhaps if I lived in the suburbs and this was the suburbs forum it would be.
