Sycamore police are investigating two separate home invasions Saturday morning, during which a 17-year-old was shot by a homeowner, said Sycamore Police Chief Jim Winters, who believes the two break-ins are not related.“We have no information that they’re connected,” Winters said about the two home invasions that occurred in the early morning hours Saturday. “We don’t believe there was any theft involved.”
According to a news release sent by the Sycamore Police Department, police believe the incidents are isolated and don’t believe there is danger to the public at this time.Police are still on the lookout for one suspect connected to a home invasion in the 400 block of West High Street, though the other suspect, the 17-year-old who was reportedly shot in the 900 block of Arvle Court, was taken to Northwestern Medicine Kishwaukee Hospital with unknown injuries.

“The right of a citizen to bear arms, in lawful defense of himself or the State, is absolute. He does not derive it from the State government. It is one of the high powers delegated directly to the citizen, and `is excepted out of the general powers of government. A law cannot be passed to infringe upon or impair it, because it is above the law, and independent of the lawmaking power.” [Cockrum v. State, 24 Tex. 394, at 401-402 (1859)]

Another trifecta of FGS! Man we are on a roll!
The two break-ins are related. Twin dumbasses.
Home boy in Vegas played the odds and crapped out. Better luck next time! Oh…wait…won’t be a next time. His unauthorized test driving days are over.
San Fran Citizen prolly gone have some ‘splaining to do. Interrupting the procurement of another vehicle by the young urban entrepreneurs. They were running late to an ice cream social at San Fran Granny’s House.
Red Ryder Daisy BB Gun…The Gateway Gun for all of us Deplorables. No eyes were shot out in the making of this comment.
That VRP (Vehicle Redistribution Program) occurred in Philadelphia. Word on the street is that they were two crackheads with pliers and blowtorches, working on behalf of the Vice President of a proud but humble woman owned business that sells software to the federal government.
Mea culpa Hack Stone. Thanks for making the spirited attempt to keep me straight. Not sure if I should blame it on:
(A) The euphoria of EARNING a FIRST on the TAH Friday WOT.
(B) The Cloud Nineness from the (GO) Army Blowout against (BEAT) Navy. 15 to ZIP in case you missed it. Missed it…heh heh That’s what (BEAT) Navy did to the end zone.
(C) Too much blood stream, not enough caffeine?
(D) Too many windows open and not enough eyes?
(E) Mind was on SanFranNan’s freezer locker and all of that Ice Cream that I need to go with all of these Homemade Cookies that Sister M________ sent me from NE?
(F) Reasons?
Speaking of Cookies and Ice Cream, anybody seen OAM this morning. I’ll be needing her help with the consuming there of. We also need to walk the puppies before having another slab of ‘Ed’s Key Lime Pie.
KoB – thank you for the invite to help you with your consumables but the dogs are already close to going on strike due to too many of my own yummies. I need to share some more of my own!
I keep saying I’m not going to…but then I do.
Yesterday’s cookie batch are the No Bake ones. Not the healthy version that taste like Milk Bones, but the ones that taste good and we pretend are healthy(ier) because of the oatmeal.
And now of course, like you, I must. have. Key Lime pie.
They say admitting you have a problem is the first step. I’ll let you know when I take it.
Come over to the Pie Side. Embrace the Pie. Do not dePrIvE yourself of feelings for the Pie. These are the Pies that you are searching for. Pie is proof that AW1Ed loves us and wants us to be happy. Some of my best friends are Pie. Pie R round…casserole R square. I never met a Pie I didn’t like. Puppies and Pie both start with a P.
Cookies? I have Ice Cream in inventory. Vanilla Bean, Strawberry, Chocolate Chip, Peanut Butter with Caramel, Butter Pecan, Black Walnut, Cookies n Cream, and, of course, Neapolatin. Sister sent Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip, Lemon Fridgerator, Ginger Snaps, Citrus Doodles, Marshmellow Chocolate Drop, Andes Creame de Menthe, Monster M&M, and, Snickerdoodles, If the puppies won’t take a walk, try my exercise program. Dodging responsibility, chasing rumors, and lifting weights…12 oz at a time. You’ll feel better for it.
I guess Nicetown isn’t so nice any more! Hope the shooter is insured, because now will come the lawsuits by the deceased and scared-shitless who ran away saying they are traumatized for life. Having just been asking what time it was, since they were running late for Christmas Choir practice and they lost their watch…this guy comes out of the store and starts shooting them for no reason.
Ahhh Daisy Red Riders, yeah I loved the Spring guns as a kid, but pump action seems to be where it is at now: Kids can pump it a few times for practice, and up to 12 times to take out that pesky squirrel!
Most of the really nice competition models are spring piston guns… it’s impressive to see someone tear a group barely bigger than a pellet at 10 meters from a standing position with open sights. Literally one hole.
I owned the Daisy Mod. 25 pump when I was a kid back in the 50’s. The Spring finally broke and that was it. I still have the little screw driver in my gun cleaning case. We had an apple tree and I used to line up the little green apples on top of the small garden brick wall and shoot them off of it.
