6. Umm, your wharfgarble word salad shuts no one up, that's another group you're thinking of

But you probably feel much more at home in a group where any dissonance is solved by banning everyone that doesn't agree with you.

As far as Chicago crime goes, I'm not really sure celebrating one month worth of reduced murders in an exceptionally cold Spring is the way to go on this one.

Let's wait and see how the rest of the year turns out, now that the weather is bringing the criminals out on the street.

Last weekend, when it warmed up for a couple of days, we had 200 teenagers basically rioting on North Michigan Avenue (28 arrests for assault) and several robberies and assaults on the Red Line trains by teen-aged girls.

The police union and firefighters still have no contract and the police force is down over 1000 officers from where it's supposed to be.
