I say drop him off in that same neighborhood without any weapons and see how he does.
he may be lucky enough to make it out with his socks, let alone his life
Naw..about 10 miles southwest of Hyde park.
Expect more of this in the coming 90 days.
Keep head on a swivel publicly and don't assume you're safe.
Always remember...Buffalo guy gave NO WARNING. Just opened fire starting in the parking lot. Victims had no chance.
Don't avoid eye contact. Size people up. Could save your life.

Woodridge, IL man Alexander Podgorny is out on bail after Chicago police arrested him for "randomly" shooting into an Englewood park.
CHICAGO (WLS) -- Community activists and residents have been reacting to the arrest of a man allegedly found near an Englewood park with several loaded weapons.
"The police department should have been canvassing this community, informing the neighborhood what's happening," said Troy Gaston of Black Lives Matter Chicago.
Police said they arrested 29-year-old Alexander Podgorny of Woodridge last Thursday after a Shot Spotter alerted them to a single round being fired near Moran Park
"If this happened up in Highland Park, it would be on the news each and every day of the week, sincerely. Just because this is a Black community, nobody appears to really, really care," said Tio Hardiman of Violence Interrupters.
According to a police report, a city POD camera captured a man "firing what appeared to be a shotgun" into the park.
Police said a search of Podgorny and his minivan turned up a shotgun, three handguns, an AR-15 style semiautomatic rifle, hundreds of rounds of ammunition and a hatchet. The report said "all firearms were readily accessible and ready to be fired."
"Obviously he had weapons, a cache of ammunition that he fired randomly," said CPD Supt. David Brown.
"We don't know what could've happened. Was it a domestic terrorist threat going on in this community? Somebody tell us something," Gaston said.
In addition, police recovered a "large number of handwritten notes" that allegedly contained "incoherent rants about references to mass shooting events," the report said.
Podgorny was charged with five counts of felony unlawful use of a weapon and is currently free after posting 10% of a $300,000 bond.
"We're told he's on electronic monitoring now," Brown said. "Likely, we're looking at other charges

A west suburban man who allegedly fired a gun at a vacant South Side park early Thursday was also driving with four other weapons including an AR-15 rifle, more than a thousand rounds of ammunition and handwritten notes about mass shootings, according to Chicago police.
Alexander Podgorny, a 29-year-old Woodridge resident, has been charged with five felony counts of unlawful use of a weapon following the troubling encounter at Moran Park, near 57th Street and Racine Avenue in Englewood.
A gunshot detection system alerted police to a round fired there about 3:30 a.m., according to Podgorny’s arrest report. Responding officers found the man near his minivan at the scene with a loaded handgun in his pocket, police said. No one else was at the park.

Inside the minivan, officers found a loaded shotgun, an AR-15 and two other handguns — all “readily accessible and ready to be fired” — along with more than a thousand rounds of ammo and more than 300 spent shell casings of various calibers, the report said. It said Podgorny also had been traveling with a hatchet and a pruning saw.
Officers said they also found “a large number” of notes with “incoherent rants and references to mass shooting events.” They said Podgorny ranted to them “about his brother, drug addiction and his missing dog” as he was taken into custody.
Podgorny had a valid firearm owner’s identification card but not a concealed carry license, according to police, who have filed a “clear and present danger” report with the Illinois State Police. That’s the first step in revoking a person’s FOID card to confiscate their weapons, a state process that has come under scrutiny in the wake of the Highland Park mass shooting.

The officers notified federal authorities about Podgorny’s case due to “the nature of the call, the quantity of weaponry recovered, and the disturbing content of the handwritten documents,” according to the report.
Cook County Judge Maryam Ahmad ordered Podgorny jailed on $300,000 bail during a Friday hearing. He was still in custody as of Saturday, according to the Cook County sheriff’s office.
