Read What We Write - Please!
Blah blah blah - a tiny brain speaks:
- Golly Gee, SCC, why the criticism for a disclaimer or two? Aren't you the same outfit that published the super silly "Blockbuster SOS News?" about how the entire Federal case against Jerry Finnegan was bullshit and was moments away from being dismissed? Did you not later call that same story a "rumor?" Are you now prepared to admit that it was complete bullshit? Has your source apologized? No retraction? Given these events, why are you criticizing an author for trying to relay as much data to the reader as possible? You are weird and angry.
Yes, we did publish the "Blockbuster SOS News" post. If you actually read it, a named individual stated that the Federal "murder for hire" portion of the case against Finnigan is falling apart because it was entrapment. The well respected retired cop who signed his name to the comment told us we could use it in the posting. We never ever said it was "moments away from being dismissed" - the feds never work in "moments." They operate at the speed of a glacier. That's also the reason they seldom lose in court.
At the moment, the retired sergeant is standing by his information and we're comfortable standing with him at this point. He has offered to come on here, apologize, and retract his information should it prove to be false. We are merely following his lead. The Finnigan cooperation means nothing at the moment. Channel 5 reported that the Feds are handling this as a "Civil Rights" case (like the Rodney King case) which only bolsters the credibility of the rumor that the conspiracy to commit murder charge will be dropped in the near future.
And the reason we're taking the Sun Times report, reporter and headline editors to task is that the media always spouts on about how unbiased they are and how they merely report the facts. Well that article was nothing but BS, based on nothing but BS, and had an obviously slanted agenda to it. We aren't the media - we can have agendas. We've even stated and embraced agendas. The media is saying one thing and doing another, as usual.

DON'T BLAST SCC. It was SCC who published the opinion of a retired sgt who even choose to be identified as the source. SCC told the readers basically; here's what this guy has heard and here's his name. It most likely is true that the feds will drop the murder conspiracy if Finnegan is talking, as the media says he is. Even if the murder conspiracy is not dropped, I give Dave Sneethan credit for having the stones to identify himself as the source. He was not being vicious or spiteful like a lot of "anonymous" posters are. He was relating what he heard. So ease up on SCC.
wether its a rumer or fact I am thankful that SCC and the retired sergeant shared the information.
It has shades of a typical federal investigation, going for one apple at a time to get the tree. Dont fool yourself something is up.

The swift arrests reflect a willingness on the part of citizens in these communities to give interim Chicago Police Supt. Dana Starks the benefit of the doubt.

Off topic,but RIP Dave Brown.You and your family are in my prayers.
Huge rumor coming out of HQ this evening. Da Mayor is going to make the announcement on Monday after the AIBA boxing tournament leaves town. The new Superintendent and 1st Deputy will be introduced. The latest rumor from a pretty good source has Grau as big boss and Dugan as 1st. This is a pretty good combo if you asked me.
SCC,
You are correct. You never said the case would be dismissed in "moments." You said hours and predeicted it would be dismissed late in the day. Whatever.
Also, the fed case against Finnigan is the murder for hire. It is not a "portion" of a larger federal case as you claim. And you call me a teeny tiny brain? Puh-leeze.
P.S. Please don't ban me. Thank you for listening.
I heard that Hollywood will be making a movie about this. Here is a list of possible actors:
Finnigan...........Alec Baldwin
Herrera...........Carlos Mencia
Mayor Daley.......Mayor Quimby
Phil Cline........Shamu
Al Sharpton.......Cedric the entert
Jesse Jackson.....Chris rock
Todd Stroger......Webster
Blagojevich.......Ronald Mcdonald
Michael Sneed.....Ben Afleck
Barack Obama...... The bushman from "the gods must be crazy" movie
More actors to be announced as this story unfolds

Here's what we posted:
Take it however you like. We wouldn't be surprised either way. If true, we'd expect an announcement after business hours tomorrow.
So not only are you a tiny brain, you lack any wherewithal to actually go back and read what's been published. Make the effort.
Also, as we told you in a previous comment section, this might be turning into a Civil Rights investigation, meaning Snethen was correct after all and the "murder for hire" portion may have been a ruse, a lever or just plain entrapment. Time will tell.

SCC,
Get real. Federal judges don't takely kindly to prosecutorial ruses, levers or entrapment. Our state court judges may put up with all sorts of prosecutorial shennanigans, but the same does not hold true for the G. SCC, your childish tenacity on the issue is mind boggling. I don't know this Snethens and I don't doubt that someone told him that the Finnigan case will be dropped. Snethens is probably a great guy. Nevertheless, what is it going to take for you to admit that the story (about the charges being dropped) was nonsense from the word go? It took him a bunch of tries, but even the Fonz (from Happy Days) admitted when he was wrong. Try it sometime. It does not hurt.
