Go figure!!! Black trash up to the same old shit again. I hope the judge throws the book at these animals. This is has been the out come ever since they tore down cabrini green and scattered this trash through out the city.
ReplyDeleteAgreed Anon 8:12am, tearing down those projects were the worst thing this city could have done. The projects kept the animals contained.
ReplyDeleteI think I saw them running across I 94 East at like 12:15AM. I was coming home from the House of Blues seeing Ace Frehley in concert and as I was driving home I approached US Cellular Field/White Sox area and I saw 2 african american men running hard across the highway hurdling the cement barriers and everything. Litterally like 30 seconds later all of the police officers started speeding down I 94 East and I 94 West. I counted 12 police cars. I was thinking it had to be them.
ReplyDeleteWe take our kids there. what freaking idiots...who steals from a day care? they don't even have cash on hand, they alreayd have cameras set up everywhere, and there is a huge police station about 5 blocks away. Heard a neighbor in one of the condos was on his balcony, and spoted the idiots, and called the police. he was giving them a play by play of where they were running to. Great job south loop police.
