I saw a guy hold a gun to someone's head.

This happened about half an hour ago when I was getting a milkshake at mcdonalds to try and soothe my sore throat...As I was walking out the door, a guy was holding a gun to another guy's head. I saw some sort of badge on the guy threataning the man who was on his knees...he was also in handcuffs... This was not even the most disturbing part. People were watching, laughing, and taking photos with their camera phones. This was in downtown Chicago at around 11:00 at night, in a very nice area...right off of Michigan Ave on Chicago.

I don't know what happened. I tried to call the Mcdonalds after I got home, but it just keeps on ringing!

I am not going to be able to sleep tonight:(

1. Was that at the "Rock N Roll McDonalds"?

I am sorry you had to see that, and that there were really insensitive people about!

:hug:

3. No

It was the regular old one on Clark and Chicago.

I am trying to see if there is any news on it.

5. Shit like that happens, last week I had a swat team outside my house at midnight for my neighbor.

And my wife was scared shitless because we had snipers in ghillie suits in our back yard. We watched the whole thing unfold without a shot fired.

6. Police arrest at gunpoint... intense

In a way it's good the public was documenting the events, in case the arrest went south for some reason. But the laughing was out of line.
