Gangs have been moving their crime out to affluent suburbs for a few years and it has happened at a higher rate recently.
That along with expressway shootings and carjacking is escalating.

Oakbrook is an outdoor mall. Woodfield is enclosed.

Oakbrook is outdoor. Maybe you're thinking of nearby Yorktown mall in Lombard?

What Toodie said. It's sad. It's not enough that they've ruined Chicago, they're going for the suburbs now.

Oakbrook is an upscale suburb of Chicago.

Details to follow.
One reads "Chicago" and the typical response is "just another day".

It shouldn't be. But concerns about urban violence are dismissed as racism so it feels like a lost cause.

Humans are yet again suffering in Chicago.

No, I've never been to Yorktown but I have been to Oakbrook. Years ago. Maybe I'm thinking of Northbrook Mall.

I'll have to edit my post. Thanks, Frank.

Either not vaxxed or not masked. Or both. There is a price to be paid by non-coms.

Remember the stories about Vlad impaling his people in the town squares as examples of what happens to those who do not toe the line and follow the rules verbatim? Yeah. That's right. And you'd best comply if you know what's good for you.
