The past few years I haven't been to into valentines day cause I thought it was dumb and had no point, but this year it changed when one of my friends who lives in Germany drew a picture of me and three other people in pokemon form with a pick up line she thought we would use. By having a person I only knew for maybe two month who I had never actually met in real life draw me a picture for valentines day made me realize that valentines day isn't a day only about love and having a relationship, its about the ones you care about and showing the people you care about them. I'm the one in the bottom left corner and in-case you cant read what the heart says it says "Excuse me, does this rag smell like chloroform to you?"
One thing you may not have know happened on valentines day was in 1929 when seven gang members plus two collaborators were lined up against a wall in Lincoln Park and executed, after that a women sensed something was wrong so she sent her roomer over and her roomer saw a man who was still alive after being shot fourteen times on the ground bleeding to death, the man was rushed to the hospital and the police waited till he was stable and asked him who shot him but he wouldn't talk. There was also the issue of a girl being stabbed by her boyfriend after she dumped him and got a restraining order against him.
