Proposed move

So just how many shootings and massacres have occurred at Lane Bryants? Assuming that the answer is none, I suggest moving this to simply "Lane Bryant shooting". Unschool (talk) 16:38, 13 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Support. Nearly all of the other articles in Category:Massacres in the United States do not have the year in the article name and some of those that occurred in a place of business are named simply as such; Brown's Chicken, Happy Land, Hi-Fi, Luby's, etc. --Geniac (talk) 19:46, 13 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Support. The year is not needed for clarity. Yaf (talk) 21:13, 13 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Support. The year is unnecessary, as this is apparently the only Lane Bryant shooting. --Zantolak (talk) 22:41, 13 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Jauerback^dude?/_dude. 20:15, 15 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Reward

The reward is $60,000, not $55,000, since a local law firm added an additional $5,000. The total was confirmed in the Chicago Tribune on April 3, 2008. I have changed the figure in the article.68.72.94.110 (talk) 14:10, 3 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

According to the April 6, 2008 Chicago Tribune, the reward as of Friday, April 4 was up to $100,000, owing to donations. Again, I've changed the figure.68.72.94.110 (talk) 18:34, 6 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Should this be included?

I've caught a few recent episodes of the Steve Wilkos show, and towards the end of each episode, he shows sketches of the criminal at large in this shooting and offers a phone number to call. Should this be include in the article? jeff (talk) 20:29, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Concealed weapons?

Is the line "Illinois is one of only two states left where concealed carry of firearms for personal protection is still illegal." relevant to this article? Sounds more like a political statement. 75.72.185.96 (talk) 04:29, 25 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Shut up!

Description of Victims

Many edits have been made removing the language that the victims were "plus-sized". These edits have been repeatedly re-inserted. It is atypical to include such a description of the victims. 71.90.69.109 (talk) 04:45, 2 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, well it's not like this is the best example of standard journalistic writing anyway. 66.26.95.207 (talk) 23:51, 2 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You are retarded. 209.159.247.72 (talk) 07:29, 22 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, well then trot away on your high horse and hector somewhere else about "journalistic writing". 71.90.27.108 (talk) 01:32, 3 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
