  1. Pretty sad a 55 yo is comitting crimes like this. Basically, he is a lost cause.

  5. Per the Second City Cop blog, Derrick King, the black thug who nearly killed a woman in the south loop in 2008 when he sucker punched her for not giving him a cigarette (she lost all her teeth, had 85 staples put into her head, and was in a coma, not to mention her life since then has been ruined) was arrested again on Labor Day for harassing people. In the same neighborhood!

    Just google his name & you'll find plenty about him, from the '08 arrest to several dozen other run ins.

  6. I'm confident Derrick will find his way and turn his life around. What we need is more funding for programs that can help Derrick suppress his need to create wanton violence and civil disorder. The true victim is Derrick.
