    This is just normal people being dumb, for a lot of people they can’t look beyond their own experience and think of the bigger picture.

    I’ve had someone tell me storm warnings were dumb and should be abolished because they rode their bike to work during a storm warning. It’s just a bit of rain and wind they said, it’s just fear mongering, people can use their own judgement. About 20kms from where they live someone was killed due to the storm.

      It takes an extraordinary false sense of intellectual superiority to willingly ignore a known lethal danger just to spite the feds. That’s not normal, and it goes way beyond stupid.

      “I’ve never been mauled to death by a bear, all these warnings are just fearmongering!”

    Why the fuck do they think they “deserve” anything for doing this? I see entitlement like this in quite a few posts. Where did that come from?

      they think that, due to the mildest, most trivial inconvenience (which might not even have affected them at all), they are entitled to whatever they want, immediately, as a form of compensation for that inconvenience, real, merely perceived, or otherwise.

    It may sound harsh, but I hope natural selection did it’s job. You can’t be this stupid and not be a danger to society.

    I just checked outside. There’s light rain going on but NO TORNADO! There is also no sign of Chicago.

    STOP IT WITH THE CHICAGO MONGERING!!

    As for my order, I’ll take two chicken nugget burger, large coke and one nacho burger, if they still have that

    Hope that dude didn’t stick around and watch, but if he did, it serves him right.

        *597?

        I lived on 187th for 7 years, just moved to Wheaton a couple months ago. NOW Mokena shows up somewhere?!? Lol

        Where I’m at in Wheaton still doesn’t have power, and from what I hear with all the damage some places aren’t expected to till Friday.

          …yes. I hope my friend doesn’t see this because he will kill me (not really) for getting his union wrong lol

          I blame the liberal media for the power outage!! They faked the tornados and cut the power to cover it up!!!

            These woke windmills are out of control! We didn’t have storms like this when I was a kid before they started building those damned windmills!!!
