Wow, This is Rich
In his 47 years, one of John Harris' biggest regrets, his lawyer said Wednesday, is what he did in 2005.
He took a job with one Rod R. Blagojevich.
"Working for Gov. Blagojevich was an extraordinarily difficult thing to do for the most honest of public servants, which John Harris is," said Harris' attorney, Terry Ekl.
- Throughout Harris' 26-page plea deal, prosecutors repeatedly say Harris warned his ex-boss against wrongdoing or simply refused to carry out Blagojevich's orders because Harris believed they were illegal.
Did Harris notify the Feds? Did Harris enlist the help of Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan? Did Harris file any briefs with the Federal hiring monitor or anyone else actively investigating the corrupt practices of Blago? In fact, since everyone now knows that there were a number of wires recording everything Blago said and did, is there even a single instance of Harris stepping up to the plate on tape and saying, "This corruption must stop!"
We didn't think so.
Harris got nailed dirty and we can only hope that as part of the plea deal, the feds put his balls in a vice and started asking questions about local corruption. Because any deviation from the truth regarding any question put to Harris means his plea deal is out the window and he's looking at some lengthy federal time. And Harris didn't move from CPD Brass (civilian) to Daley budget director to Aviation Chief to Blago chief-of-staff without being party to a whole bunch of questionable shit.

Just another brick in the (corruption) wall......
Let's see what he says now.....
In an on-the-fly interview, Harris' attorney evaded (badly) answering a direct question as to Harris' giving information on OTHER corruption he encountered in his prior positions. He did say that Harris answered truthfully, every question on EVERY subject that had been asked of him.
This is getting interesting. Maybe our new mayor will give us a contract.
read the great John Kass column,today,and he mentions this goof,along with aviation chief rosie andolino, the old valet for hdo boss victor reyes is she going away soon? what did johnny boy harris say? Tune in soon same bat time same bat channel1
Isn't it interesting that Harris' lawyer is Terry Ekl, the bottom feeder slimeball who sues the police at the drop of a hat. Makes you wonder what was there relationship when Harris was Daley's chief spy in the CPD.
What can be done to change things in this state? The machine will still squeeze us dry and the same players will move around and stick it to us as they line their pockets.
No one will vote them out.

We have so many exempts on this job! I had no idea this guy was on the CPD brass. When and where was this guy on CPD?
Word of warning: Now the heat is back on Daley and the other shithead politicians, they'll go full boat to blow up a copper's screwup into an indictment.
Rumors are swirling about more Alderman going down and pay to play within the CPD.
Thank you SCC. After all, the last person that jumped up and yelled "cut it out" when illegal activity was observed, the LAST TIME the mayor wanted to tamper with our pension money wound up being set up and arrested herself. Miriam Santos.
Extra!! Extra!!! Read all about it!!! Dugan's SPAR policy stikes another working officer.
For the second time I got a spar kicked back to me with a note telling me to raise the recommendation from reprimand to 1 day off. Nothing electronic. Just a note. I am told the reason this is now being done is that officers were winning griveances because of differing dicipline recommendations. Now, the electronic record shows that all superviors are in agreement with the recommendation. What a joke!!! First, the commander is now taken out of the equation because the deputy has to approve the recommendation and second the deputy's name never appears on this electronically.
Good luck out there being the police.

Not a chance, I'm done being the police, they will cut you loose to the wolves in a heartbeat.
I tried to type in my own comments the last time I got a SPAR, I wanted to put in there how ridiculous it was and I wanted those few sentences in there in addition to my mere "acceptance" of the recommendation.
The Sgt. said I couldn't do that, I could only accept or decline the recommendation. I said show it to me in an order, prove it. He couldn't of course. I said then he would have to order me to accept the SPAR as is and then I would refuse the order. My wording stayed in there in a comments box and now cannot be erased.
Don't take shit from these meathead clout fuck supervisors. Be polite but don't let yourself get rolled over. Know your rights and then stand up for them. The shitheads that go in back frequently know their rights better than we officers know ours.

And I just got done reading about another incident of shots fired at the Police. I can't ever recall the abundance of shots fired at or by the police. It's getting really really scary out there boys and girls and citizens. You citizens better get off the liberal bandwagon before it's too late for you and buy something that'll protect your wife. It's over, the battle is lost. We don't have the upper hand anymore. Thank the crooked ass politicians in this county that you keep voting for while the media would rather cover story after story of some cemetary bullshit (I know it's bad, believe me. But I got the message the first 20 times I read about it.) and Michael Jackson's death. Story after story about nothin'
I feel sorry for you workin' police out there still. There's an old ancient chinese proverb for you guys, you might need a translator to read it: "your fucking stupid!"
John Harris "most honest public servant" according to his lawyer, just plead guilty to a felony that carries a possible sentence of 10 years. If this guy is so honest, why isn't he fighting the charges? What a crock! His lawyer has several cases pending against CPD officers and has filed many in the past. This dynamic duo will do anything they can to hurt the CPD and save Harris' ass and put money in the lawyer's pocket.
Harris is a douche and so is his POS lawyer Ekl.
Just read a book by Elizabeth Brackett called Pay to Play about Blago. Not a bad summary of the whole crime spree as Fitz called it.
One of the only new things I learned in the book was that when the Feds showed up on that December morning, Blago ran in place in his jogging suit, did some stretching exercises, and then "stunned the agents by lying down in the fetal position. He went through this strange routine several times without saying a word".
What an image.

Sounds like he is establishing a scenario utilizing the "Roland Burris Defense"... if you don't ask the question, then I won't mention it, and therefore, IT DIDN'T HAPPEN!!!
It's a common Illinois corruption procedure brought to light during the Blagojevich impeachment hearings.
1) You are brought in to testify on corruption.
2) You know about specific corruption that investigators would want to uncover.
3) You know the investigators don't know about this specific corruption so you opt not to tip them off about it or even mention it.
4) You now wrap yourself in the "truth" that since the investigator didn't ask you about the specific corruption you had knowledge of but they did not, that you have no ethical or moral responsibility to reveal it.
It's the kind of ethical and moral standards that pass for honesty and transparency in this shithole of a state... for proof of this, just look at what our trusted legislators did to the recommendations brought forth by Gov Quinn's blue ribbon reform commission.
"Rumors are swirling about pay-to-play within the CPD." Excuse me, apparently you were just released from Guantanamo Bay or you're a blind man that's finally gotten a grasp on braille. Those "swirling rumors" are decades old and so obviously true, that there's now an express check-out aisle in every ward office. Daley saved a ton of money by throwing out that pesky Captains exam and selling those stripes instead. Who said he's a dummy? Swirl this baby!

Um, then why don't you open your mouth and be a man/woman? You are NO different than the rest of them, and I would be ashamed of myself if I didn't do the right thing and speak up. Maybe your conscience is lighter because you anonymously blogged on here. SHAME ON YOU IF YOU DIDN'T STAND UP.
I never trusted that guy back then, and my opinion isn't changed now, regardless of how his attorney wants to paint him.

It's not that "no one will vote them out," seriously, have you EVER voted for Daley? No, I didn't think so. But these elections are overtly STOLEN--nursing homes, Misericordia, etc., they all put out hundreds of DEMOCRATIC votes every election day. These votes, that the Democratic party unabashedly steals, keep these crooks in office.
The feds know about it, they just aren't doing anything to stop it.

Before I retired, I did 17 years as a sergeant. It was my experience that some of the most treacherous creatures you will ever find in the CPD, are the PO's working for the exempts who review the CR's and SPAR's that travel through the chain of command.
These people are generally clout babies who are not, nor ever were "real" street cops, have big egos like their bosses, and take great pleasure in giving "directions" to police supervisors.
Once, as I appealed to the a District Commander about a CR that was kicked back by "his guy", I was told that if this PO ever gave me "instructions" I was to "treat it as if it were a direct order from him", (the Commander). His guy was a moron, but, truth be told, so was the DC.
I never tended to just shut-up and do what I was told when dealing with these goofs. I eventually lost my tact team and got launched out of 015. Ouch!

Poor, naive Miriam. How dare her try to be a beacon of honesty and integrity in the murky land of the Daley Crime Family. Just for what Shortshanks did to her, he deserves to spend eternity with my mother-in-law!!!
This guy was a real catch!
Just hope they can get him chatting-he knows where all of bodies are buried.
I'd like to see Harris explain how much money and other goodies he and Daley got from Oracle to jam the entire CHRIS system down our throats.
Has anyone read Jfeds new pax 501. This guy is out of his mind. He wants to seperate officers with 2 consecutive subpar performance ratings and stop them from working special! No wonder morale is in the toilet.... We need to march again and vote for No Confidence again!!!
Not long ago, Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan, (D-Daddy's Little Girl), announced she was going to investigate the City of Chicago's lease of the City's parking meters. When asked if the Mayors' actions or involvement in any illegality would be investigated, an aide said no that only the contract and leasing company were under investigation.
How nice that the # 1 law enforcement official in the state won't go after the Stuttering Prick criminally EVEN IF EVIDENCE EXISTS that he is complicit in any wrongdoing.
This would seem to contradict recent TV news reporters evaluations of her job performance that she's done a "good job" as AG.
BULLSHIT! She's just another layer of protection for the the Daley Crime Family. For her not to investigate makes her just as dirty as the criminals themselves!!!
Harris was the Daley front man for the airport deals. Hopefully he will spill the beans on Maggies connection to the concessions at the airport.
Also, what ever hapened to the 8 million for the aiport police station?? They got stuck in a old cargo building instead, and that does not meet safety or building code. Also, the city rented out half the building to a "freind of the mayor" over police objections!
In addition, why did Harris turn down free Federal money for the police dept???
I sure hope Fitz is asking the questions that pertain DIRECTLY to crimes and illegality that were perpetrated by, or known to exist by Daley himself. I'm tired of the Mayor saying he didn't know that his aides were committing crimes... Just one felony with some jail time attached to it would do wonders for the City. Especially if it were to come BEFORE we get sold down the river with the Olympics.
He must of went to the same double-talk school that Daley attended.
"I didn't know about it but I tried to stop him" sounds like what Daley said about his nephew.
People are starting to catch on. Did they think the sheep would stay blind forever?
Fuck every piece of shit democRAT politician in this country including Hussein the messiah.

Terry Ekl logs onto Tribune and Sun Times under the name Fast Eddie and throws constant insults at CPD on every story involving cops.
I'm no fan of Lisa Madigan, but there's no way I'll vote for that shithead Birkett. His campaign manager has always been...Terry Ekl. Two scumbag trolls all the way.
How about an investigation into the real story with Blago's hair.
I am a long retired lieutenant. SPARS and CR investigations have always been kicked back with a note attached to either sustain the allegations or raise the penalty. This is nothing new. When a few of us returned the file with a T0-From quoting the orders that the chain of command needs to make their recomendations known in writing, we got back threats. Only the superintendent can change order the chain of command to follow the orders. I had a deputy chief tell me that order are orders for me, guidelines for him. Lots of luck
Isn't it interesting that Harris' lawyer is Terry Ekl, the bottom feeder slimeball who sues the police at the drop of a hat. Makes you wonder what was there relationship when Harris was Daley's chief spy in the CPD.
I'm under the impression that Ekl at one time had close ties to Daley.
As dum as Daley is he is not stupid. There is no one that knows his business that would ever rat him out. He will die da mayor just like his no good rat father.
There are rumors flying around City Hall that Mr. Harris knows a lot about (1) where O'Hare money wound up being spent (of interest to the Feds because the FAA requires revenues stay with the airport) and (2) the Skyway sale (of interest to the Feds because . . . it's bound to be interesting).
This may all be QUITE interesting.

As I said once before never trust a boss especially a Dugan type. They lie constantly to promote their agenda and when the say "we have your back" in some silly video IT'S ANOTHER LIE!!!! Of course he could care less about our contract since he makes nearly 3x our salary and has a company car, but he should be smart enough to know how things are now and how we are treated by our mayor and others of his type.
RE SPAR: in inequities are overwhelming regarding who gets a reprimand, who gets a written warning, etc. for the same infraction or who gets nothing if the supervisor chooses to do so. Supervisors pick and choose on who they want to harrass. There is no accountability with the supervisors on this and it's an EEOC pandora's box. Anyone know of a knowledgable (and succesfful against the city) attorney who handles EEOC/discrimination??
This guy loved to talk to cops like they were dogs.
He was the BOY DEPUTY.

OT - City breaks lease on Daley nephew's warehouse
July 10, 2009 4:24 AM | No Comments
The Sun-Times reports: City Hall is breaking its month-to-month lease for a warehouse that Mayor Daley's nephew and his partners bought with city pension funds.
City water department crews were ordered Thursday to move their dump trucks from the warehouse at 3348 S. Pulaski to a city-owned property at 750 N. Kilbourn.

When RMD became Mayor, he craftily civilianized the position of Deputy Superintendent of the Bureau of Administrative Services, thereby creating his direct representative within the Department. By doing so, RMD installed a set of eyes and ears and a mouthpiece within the command staff of the Department of Police.
John Harris was one of the civilians to occupy the position. He came from Aviation and was the Deputy Superintendent of Administrative Services at Police from 1993 to 2000, then he returned to Aviation and subsequently moved to City Hall before quitting and taking a job with Blago.
After Harris left the Department in 2000, Barbara MacDonald was appointed as the Deputy Superintendent of the Bureau of Administrative Services.
Sorry, off-thread. This is in reply to all the pro-Garrido posts about him running for Cook County President. As nice as it is for some, to blindly throw there weight behind a fellow officer, lieutenant or not, in hopes that one of us has a representative in office, sorry, but it ain't going to happen. Not to burst his or anyone else bubble, Seiser has a better chance of winning the election and John knows that. Why bother running then if he already knows? Because he gets to make more connections in hopes for him to keep getting promoted. That, and to keep some of the money he raises for his campaign funds. Not all of it goes to the Republican party you know. Will he raise a billion dollars like Obama? No, but it would be nice for him to keep any of what they let him. The guy's just another political hack.

then stop breaking the rules. start waking up and going to court. have a little discipline and follow the rules like everyone else does. 12 years as being a working officer and ive never taken a day, reprimand or spar. do your job, follow the rules and quit whining about the mistakes that you made.. stroke
This jagoff Harris is the one directly responsible for the CHRIS Report System debacle. How did this bullshit system end up costing more than $30 Million,including OT to attempt to fix it? How much did Lil Richie get kicked back from Oracle to buy this overpriced, substandard system? All this shit was brokered and implimented by jagoff John Harris.
Best part of his time here on CPD was when he was asked by John Townssend (1st D/S) why CHRIS wasn't working, he gave Townsend some smart-ass answer and a smug smile and Townsend started to kick his ass right in a hallway at HQ.
Once, when asked if he was going to attend an upcoming fundraiser for the family of a recently murdered on duty P/O, his answer was "Didn't the City give his wife enough money already?"
Hope you rot in a cell, then in hell, you jaggoff, fucking lowlife, motherfucker, Harris.

Deputy Superintendent Bureau of Patrol does not review SPARs. If your Deputy kicked it back, deal with him. Better yet, review the disciplinary schedule. The problem probably lies there.
Off topic but ...
Theft of a womens wallet yesterday in our area, CPD had the jagoff in custody in about 5 minutes. When citizens are in trouble, our police are there! Thank you Town Hall District Officers !
For you who may not remember back in the day a young John Harris arrived out of city hall with a mandate as the very first civilian Deputy Superintendant of Adminstrative services to get rid of as many full duty white shirt bosses as he could so Daley could put his civilian hires in their place. Why? Because Irish payback comes like a fist in a velvet glove. The sworn members via FOP did not endorse the mayor for reelection some months prior and payback was crafted to inflict as much pain to as many police from top down as da mayor could do without saying a word publicly. I was working on AFIS project so was immune until projects end. But saw the heads roll for the better part of the year under young john harris. Pure evil, as the department went into a complete downward spiral that continues til this day. Deputy Harris of course has been politically rewarded over and over while doing dirty deeds...so he has a lot to spill on the mayor and his southside thugs running city business...the Ohare gig he did after Townsend provides great corrupt deals to expose. Hell, Harris should nearly be holding enough to get out of jail free. Follow his career! lol Cloutless oldie Sgt
I heard today that SEIU which covers detention aids got a tentative settlement with the City. No layoffs but also no retro and a 9.3% raise over 3 years. Got this from a detention aid, can't find it written down anywhere.
Anyone have anything on this?
Where the hell is Miriam Santos?? Did she ever get out of jail??
I just saw the 5:00 pm newscast. Some black male was being interviewed about his loved one buried at Burr Oak. He was obviously upset. But, in typical ghetto fashion he was affixing blame on everyone but himself. He doesn't visit the place for years, then when its on the T.V. he's their DEMANDING answers.
I feel your pain dude. But why single out the "city of chicago" for your venomous outburst?
Last, I checked Burr Oak cemetery was in ALSIP!
Now go buy your city vehicle sticker..and have a good day!

When Harris was here who were the sworn members (admin. po's admin. sgt' admin. lt's etc.) on his staff. I would like to know if they skyrocketed after working for him thru merit selections.
This Guy knows all of the Daley secrets. The cash cow that OEC became with your monthly phone charges. And Maggie Daley was knee deep in O'Hare when Harris went there. If he did not know what was going on out there then we can call Stevie Wonder Hawkeye!

Reading comprehension classes might work for you. Maybe.
This is a SERGEANT, trying to do the right thing by his p.o. He recommended LESS than Dugan wanted him to recommend. Dugan kicked it back and denanded a heaver punishment.
"Because any deviation from the truth regarding any question put to Harris means his plea deal is out the window and he's looking at some lengthy federal time." -- SCC
...but you can belong to an organized street gang and bring a loaded sawed-off shotgun -- a "weapon of mass destruction," as the Mayor and his allies would call it -- into a crowded public celebration and nothing federal happens, despite all the noise about "Operation Exile" and the "gun crime hits home" radio ads and the threatening billboards depicting prison cells.
How about it?
You'd think that you could get someone off dead center on this -- but, then, that's what we thought when they found 175 grams of cocaine and four illegal guns in
Deputy Superintendent Beatrice Cuello's condominium.
Ha.
It's obviously preferable for the City of Chicago to be constantly publicly mocked and goaded by people who are never, ever going to stop reminding them than to actually see justice done.
Never mind. Everyone is probably too busy, anyway, melting down someone's collection of priceless Lugers or something.
Off my own topic...where's Father Pfleger these days?
Huh?
We can't he-e-e-ar you...
"...when the Feds showed up on that December morning, Blago ran in place in his jogging suit, did some stretching exercises, and then 'stunned the agents by lying down in the fetal position. He went through this strange routine several times without saying a word.'
"What an image."

A. People from some parts of the world seem to have a mental thing about name-brand jogging suits. You shoulda seen this similar-type minimal-English Serbian couple I knew who owned (on paper, anyway) an apartment building. Imagine it! Everyone in their old village struck dumb with fear and admiration.
They walked around in matching jogging suits and day-old white Nikes all the time; it was horribly obvious that they thought of themselves as only slightly below God himself. What a scream.
B. "Fetal position." Oh, my. Blagojevich obviously working on his defense from the outset. "Too crazy to do anything but constantly grab money." Gotcha.

I heard today that SEIU which covers detention aids got a tentative settlement with the City. No layoffs but also no retro and a 9.3% raise over 3 years. Got this from a detention aid, can't find it written down anywhere.
Anyone have anything on this?

It's true. There was a fax sent to some of the districts outlining the agreement. They have to vote for ratification on the 16th, 17th and 18th. 6.25% would take effect 01 AUG. 3% takes effect on 01 JAN 10.
The fax didn't mention the loss of retro pay, but it's part of the deal. With the 9.25% raise the estimated 26 days they would be forced to take off are more valuable than the days being paid for retroactively. To be honest it's probably the best deal they could get from the stuttering prick. At least they keep their jobs.

Theft of a womens wallet yesterday in our area, CPD had the jagoff in custody in about 5 minutes. When citizens are in trouble, our police are there! Thank you Town Hall District Officers !

Yeah, ok there tiger. Let's not mention who the victim was, who she knows and why there were officers swarming the area within minutes. Granted he was a piece of shit, but don't try to make it sound legit. If the call wasn't made the 60 teams would have been cruising the alleys for drinkers.
David Hoffman for Mayor!
Screw you Alderman Hairston ,you ghetto hack ,quit being a shill for the mayor! You know you can't run for dogcatcher and win!
Back out now before some embarrassing info regarding your personal documented affairs concerning a CPD boss is brought to light!
For the second time I got a spar kicked back to me with a note telling me to raise the recommendation from reprimand to 1 day off. Nothing electronic. Just a note. I am told the reason this is now being done is that officers were winning griveances because of differing dicipline recommendations. Now, the electronic record shows that all superviors are in agreement with the recommendation. What a joke!!! First, the commander is now taken out of the equation because the deputy has to approve the recommendation and second the deputy's name never appears on this electronically.
Good luck out there being the police.

It's plain to see that you are not the police or not the police but unfortunately wear the uniform. You must sit behinde a desk and act like a boss just because you work for a boss. You have no clue of how silly a reason a P.O. can get a SPAR or CR# and that bosses just want to have someone take "the hit" to make the BS go away. Wake up little fella and wipe the brown off your nose!
07/10 10:35pm Shut the fuck up with all your cooter bullshit. Go to a god damn FOP meeting. I know you don't go because I've never heard the bullshit you spout (over and over til I want to puke) on SCC at a mtg. Until you go to one shut up! Stick your reply up your ass.
Prediction- Deb Kirby will receive the Deputy Supt. Bur. Admin Services for a retirement gift. Reward for very old favors.
Everyone will go down before Burke dumbass. He is the consigliore and the son to the old man Richie could have never been.
Jesus Christ! Leave enough clues huh? You live in 022, gave a HUGE campaign donation to Rugai, Burke, Banks etc. Someone drunkenly promised you the Academy. We hear it was a local business owner. They made you a Captain already you wicked she-devil. Take a fucking prozac before someone kicks your ass in. Your embarrased old man maybe?
Just a note. I am told the reason this is now being done is that officers were winning griveances because of differing dicipline recommendations.
Unfortunately the above is true, you cant be pissed when the Union's grievance system works, sometimes against us.

Deputy Superintendent Bureau of Patrol does not review SPARs. If your Deputy kicked it back, deal with him. Better yet, review the disciplinary schedule. The problem probably lies there.
He can, but usually doesnt. It is 99.9 percent of the time kicked back bu the Deputy Chief in Area 2, my thinking is let his office handle all SPAR forms personally then, save me some time.
If this happens we should all just refuse to sign up for a couple of periods
I got one of those stupid letters several years ago stating if my activity didnt improve I couldnt work special employment.
R/O's to from read like this.
R/O does not want to work special employment anymore. Please stop harrassing me with these stupid letters.
I never got another one! rememeber if we all would just stop for one month, shortshanks would probably have a chest grabber and settle the contract. But no we are weak and divided.
Lt RP from 14 was one of Harris' admin sgts. Harris did nothing for him. RP might want to tell the feds about some of the purchasing shananigans, if he hasn't already.
Harris was a total asshole. He should go to prison.
Ms. Madigan will be the mayor of Chicago by time the 2016 Olympics arrives.

If you have twelve years on and don't have any spars, reprimands or anything like that, then you are NOT the working police. And as someone else pointed out, it was the sergeant writing it not the PO. So, while you're behind your desk, pick up an english book and try to master the basics of our language... stroke.

Bull shit! first of all when doing a spar you now have to complete the spar first and before presenting it to the officer, send a copy to the deputy chief's office to see if he approves of it. If he gives his ok than you can present it to the officer and have it go thru the normal channels. This is because Sgt's and Lt's were not hammering officers with enuff days, and where as before you could get a second repremand for something they now want it done progressive by the numbers. Great for morale

More of 'OUR" money being stolen! Why florida goofs? use that money here you thieves! Another reason Mike Shields will be fop president and use a big broom to sweep all of you out! good riddence! Hey mark how about those jobs daley will get you and friends and family?
Mixology 101:
JH and the CPD:
No experience + arrogance = disaster.
JH and O'Hare:
No experience + arrogance =
disaster.
JH and Blago and more politicians
Arrogance + arrogance + more arrogance and $$$ = pops to a head
Harris was the Daley front man for the airport deals. Hopefully he will spill the beans on Maggies connection to the concessions at the airport.
Also, what ever hapened to the 8 million for the aiport police station?? They got stuck in a old cargo building instead, and that does not meet safety or building code. Also, the city rented out half the building to a "freind of the mayor" over police objections!
In addition, why did Harris turn down free Federal money for the police dept???

I've seen this too. A friend who worked 20 years to pay off his house sold it to an armenian who bought it for cash and had been in the United States for four months. Black Market money. He did the jogging suit thing and used to stand in front of his house for hours talking on his cell phone, to show people that he owned a house, owned a cell phone, and was an important person.

I just saw the 5:00 pm newscast. Some black male was being interviewed about his loved one buried at Burr Oak. He was obviously upset. But, in typical ghetto fashion he was affixing blame on everyone but himself. He doesn't visit the place for years, then when its on the T.V. he's their DEMANDING answers.
I feel your pain dude. But why single out the "city of chicago" for your venomous outburst?
Last, I checked Burr Oak cemetery was in ALSIP!
Now go buy your city vehicle sticker..and have a good day!
7/10/2009 05:58:00 PM
I saw the same newscast. Dude was wearing an American flag dew rag and looked like he just finished a blunt before getting a camera and a microphone shoved in his face.
Dude vehemently blamed the politicians (no specific names mentioned) and the city of Chicago! He was so smoked up he did not even know the correct name of the town, village or city where Burr Oak Cemetery is located. Classic.
save yourself johhny boy, don't do a sorich and be a coward and not talk, then leave your family as your in prison losing your freedom for daley! Are you a fool johnny? are you? Why yes you are,abandon your family! If you don't talk fuck you pussy coward!

Gold chain. Gotta have that gold chain to accent the chest hair. Gold "Rolex" to be worn on the OUTSIDE of the shirt cuff to make sure no one misses it. After all, clothes make the man!
I wonder if this was the same one I used to see around Pratt/California. Had a really crummy little 2-door white sewing machine of a car, but he'd gone to the hardware store and bought stick-on letters to improve it. On each front fender, he'd stuck "5.0." Across the back of the trunk lid, on one side of the gas cap, it said "PLAY." On the other side, it said "BOY."
Shoulda seen him at the stoplight; a split-second before the light could even change, he was hammering on the horn and shouting out the window. Something on the order of "Many American womens paying me to sex and you making it me late for to service them. Cost it money!"
Thank you, Cong. Emanuel Celler, for working so hard to tear up America's immigration laws. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Hell, I'm proud when I see a bunch of illegal polacka on a residential side street working fast and furious to try to get an SUV, a factory's worth of power tools, and a whole bunch of other luxus consumer shit jammed into a 20-foot container before the morning pickup. Never see that car again. Warsaw Express, by way of Calumet Harbor...
How much Harris talks, depends on how many of his relatives now depend on the Daley administration for their income. Daley makes sure those who know his secrets have everything to lose.
