Chicago “malls” targeted by terrorists
It was revealed today that malls in Chicago are at risk of a potential terrorist attack this holiday season. According to Police Superintendent Dana Starks, “Chicago is as safe and secure as any big city can be.” The Governor’s office said that they have “not confirmed the legitimacy of the reported threat, we are working closely with them and will keep the public advised of any developments. We encourage people to go about their holiday shopping and preparations as they always would.”
Upon hearing the news, I did not express alarm, concern, or rethink my holiday shopping plans. Rather, I said, “What malls?” The actual city of Chicago proper does not really have any malls. There is Water Tower Place and that Nordstrom building with shops, but neither of these are “malls.” To me a mall has to be sprawling and have a large contingent of mall walkers. Maybe that is just my rural background coming in to play. I am sure plenty of people in Chicago consider those places to be malls and that has confused the terrorists.
I think that perhaps the terrorists need to get their ducks in a row before making such an elaborate plan. They obviously are not past the first steps of planning if they are thinking of blowing up “Chicago malls.”
