No ****, right.

I live right off of Laraway & heard about the shooting right outside the school. I had thought it was some kid going postal at an after school event, but then found out this morning that it was just a routine traffic stop & the guy opened fire.

P.S. IT IS ******* COLD!!!

It was at central. My sympathies go out to the officers who got shot. But, I'm glad I live in New Lenox. Cops were already dicks, now they are going to rediculous here.

New Lenox cops are BAD! I have been followed home three times in a week & a half. When I pull into my driveway, they wait til I get out, then drive off. They must be running my plates/record and see all the **** on it.

They said today it was just some nut job that starting firing before the cops even got up to his car, it was right next to the high school & old 1 room school. We went right past there on the way to dinner (KFC buffet), but for some reason on the way back I took Laraway instead of 30.

My racecar shop is actually next to the airport, so it's the sheriff I have to deal with.
I haven't had any issues with the cops. I also don't have a street car that gets noticed anymore. We did make an offer on a house in N.L. to stay in until the new house & shop get built out in Minooka. Then we'll just sell it.

Does anyone know about any big trailer issues, We picked a house with a big side drive, so when we have to leave early I can just bring rig home with me. I forgot to even ask if they hassle people for having it in the drive.

Again, I want to say I hope they get better soon. They obviously got a nut off our streets.

Just talked to a N.L. cop. He said the guy was from here, moved down south.
Got in trouble with FBI, divorce & lost his house. I guess he just snapped when he saw the squad lites.
