Police officer slain as mayor embarrasses himself and city

RIP brave Officer. :frowning:

I have no words to adequately express the disgust and contempt I feel towards these Soviet style goons and bottom dwelling leftist scum that support them. :mad:

The dumbass mother doesn’t seem to understand that 20 years old isn’t a “kid” anymore. Too bad her worthless carcass wasn’t in on the robbery…

I had to dig to find the video. The other link redirected me for some reason. Maybe this works: http://www.nbcchicago.com/news/local-beat/lucille-floyd-thomas-wortham-94635494.html

The Chicago political machine::: where our bend over, bow before them, apologize for the US, kiss their ass President is from.

All four are in custody. In the sunday edition of the Chicago Sun Times, they did a piece about the Officers father, a retired CPD Sgt. I guess the old adage about an apple not falling far fom the tree must be true. He sounds like a helluva man himself.

So, his dad was able to return fire but an ordinary citizen would, most likely, not have had that option.

Interesting, maybe the Mayor would like to address this…

Buckaroo (who avoids Chicago regularly)

I only get to chicago a couple times a year, but I love going there. Of course I don’t go to the dirty southside

What makes you say that? There are other weapons besides pistols. Shotguns, rifles etc. And no, despite the rhetoric by some, you would NOT be arrested.

This guy is deceiving himself by believing taking guns away from citizens with no criminal record would somehow reduce crime! I cant remember the last time when that family from the gun club went out with their guns and conducted a drive by. This idiot needs to get real and look at the facts and stop making judgements based on emotion. Complete idiot in my opinion!

I don’t think you quite grasp the kind of person Daley is.

Yes, the guy’s pretty nutty. But he is also very powerful, and knows he can get away with anything. He isn’t stupid- he conceals the true purpose of his handgun ban- control- under a thin veil of “safety”. He doesn’t give two shits if your family is brutally murdered while ya’ll are out in the park on a Sunday afternoon.

Daley is part of a huge political machine. He’s got it made for life. His father was mayor. He’ll be mayor for a while longer. It’s the way stuff works. He’s Chicago’s Boss Tweed.

There’s a reason some say Capone was more honest than the Chicago politicians.

Re: the video. He reminds me of Leonid Brezhnev, but with even less charm, certainly less hair, and no fancy medals.

Owning a pistol in Chicago is difficult enough as a citizen. Try getting a concealed carry permit living there and it becomes almost impossible. Shotguns & rifles aren’t typically carried around the city and if you did I’m sure you’d get a lot of attention real quick.

We don’t have carry at all in IL, so I suppose that could be considered “almost impossible”. :wink:

Daley is an idiot. Chicago’s own crime stats prove him wrong.

I was responding to this specific incident. The father or anybody else in this specific situation could have done the same thing with a rifle or shotgun.

Daly is “practically” a criminal himself. Old school cronyism is alive and well in the Windy City. Al Capone is probably still calling the shots from hell.

For anyone who is interested in Chicago in general, and how totally fucked that city is…

They tell it like it is. It would seem that the blog owners and most of the posters are CPD. Often times it reads like the script of Robocop.

Can I ask a stupid question? How does someone like that keep getting reelected year after year? I just don’t get it.

Rest In Peace brother you were taken to soon.

As a former deputy sheriff for Cook County I can say that Chicago is turning into the wild west thanks in part to that idiotic mayor that seems to get re-elected and his anti-gun policies.

I travel to Chicago twice a year for family functions and more for work related business(fugitive warrants) and I always carry two guns. Chicago is a beautiful city but Im glad I dont live there anymore.
