Shades of Capone
Isn't this how "Scarface" took over Cicero? Why yes, yes it is:
Police in west suburban Riverside said whoever pumped seven shots into a home Wednesday morning was likely targeting controversial Cook County Commissioner Tony Peraica, who lives next door.
“We believe right now Mr. Peraica was the target,” Riverside Police Chief Tom Weitzel told the Sun-Times. “And that it was meant as some type of intimidation or message.”
No one was injured. Police said at least one shot went through a front window and another went into a wooden front door.
So isn't it about time the Feds rolled out a series of indictments that would effectively dismantle this outdated, patronage-ridden, mob-influenced, alleged government body that exists solely to give six-figure paychecks to Machine relatives and provide cover for assorted Outfit operations in the suburbs?

Ed Vrdolyak was the 'point" man to set up the operation in Cicero. As the attorney for the town he was in a perfect insider position.
Maybe peraica didn't pay off his mob loans on time.
well now hold on.
i think several high ranking federal gov't officials have close ties to that machine you speak of.
reform is an unattainable dream.
We know it could not have been a Democrat. They hate guns afterall.
Peraica seems like the type to have this type of thing done to bring attention to himself and make it appear he is getting under the skin of the machine. I'm doubtful.
The mob got smart--they use Chicago street gangs to do their dirty work.
We can only hope that Daley's indictment is coming. He is flaunting how totally inept the US Dept of Justice is every day that he continues to walk around a free man.
Anyone who lives in or around Chicago that has even an average intelligence, knows Daley is moving in the shadowy world of organized crime. And there are times that he seems to DARE the federal prosecutors to catch him. This has got to make them crazy in the same way that Drew Peterson's taunting the Illinois State Police was making them crazy.
Some day, Daley will be all over CNN and MSNBC and FOX NEWS, under indictment like Drew Peterson was yesterday, and he'll be sputtering about how he hasn't done anything illegal and how, like Blago, he looks forward to clearing his name in court.
WE CAN ONLY HOPE !
Damn, a driveby in leafy Riverside!
Don't be seein' that too often, wordup homes.
If you've ever seen this man in court, he ain't much of a lawyer, and he does criminal defense. I wouldn't go calling him the savior for all of us, Junior is an idiot and puts his own people in just like Daddy did, but he is not as slimey as this guy. Slimey, but not as slimey.
While I personally feel that Peraica is just as scummy as any democrat in the Cook Cty Bd, I would hate to see any harm like this befall him or his family, or any of his neighbors, due to an apparently crazed individual.
If indeed Peraica was the target, I hope this nutjob is found, and quick.

I second that motion!
maybe more friends of the criminal stroger-daley crime families?
I suppose this may be a case of the gang that couldn't shoot straight, as far as targeting the wrong house.
But they seemed pretty quick to jump to the conclusion that Peraica was the intended target. That certainly is a valid theory, may even be the correct one.
But I thought conclusions came after the investigation, not before.
Before you go defending Peraica, please realize he is NOT our friend. He middled the police on election night at the board of elections, getting beefs on the police officers. He was acoompanied by a "outfit" guy, who got arrested. A burglar by trade..
So while he didn't deserve to have his house shot up, "when you lay down with dogs..."
The feds will do nothing as they take instructions from their boss.Who is their boss?Barry obama,who is Barry's boss?THe little shitbag in city hall.
Daley will never be indicted. Everyone does not get it, there are the haves and the have nots. He is the haves.
It is like wall street and he is the goldman sachs of mayors. It is not going to happen.
Vote. Every election.

No that couldn't be. This from a Republican Savior on high? Who could imagine?
