Ban Bikes, Rodeos

One death is too many, right Shortshanks?
  • A Dolton man died Sunday morning after falling from his bicycle during the Bike the Drive event in Chicago, authorities said.

    Witnesses told police that the man — identified as Larry Williams, 54, of the 14800 block of East Evers Street — was on the northbound side of the 2300 block of North Lake Shore Drive just before 8 a.m. when he fell, Chicago police Officer Dan O'Brien said.

    Williams was taken to Northwestern Memorial Hospital, where he was pronounced dead about a half-hour later, the Cook County medical examiner's office said.

    It was unclear what caused Williams' fall or his death. Police did not know if he was wearing a helmet. An autopsy is scheduled for Monday.
On the other hand, when bikes are outlawed, only outlaws will have bikes.

And then this....because one arm is too many:
  • A man believed to be participating in a rodeo in an unincorporated area of Will County near Lockport on Sunday suffered a serious injury to his arm, which appeared to be severed, a fire official said.

    The man was conscious and talking to rescuers as he was taken from 18249 S. Briggs St. to Silver Cross Hospital in Joliet about 5:30 p.m., Lockport Fire Protection District battalion Chief John Kure said.

    Though the arm was still attached to the man's body, it was not immediately known whether the arm would be saved, Kure said, adding he did not know the circumstances surrounding the injury.
Next, the government will ban foie gras, transfats, salt and all sorts tasty goodies. Oh wait, they're doing that already.

"The man was conscious and talking to rescuers as he was taken from..."

Can you imagine if this dude was a deaf-mute?

Rescuers would've only gotten half the story.

There is a Mexican Rodeo site right outside Cook County Jail every weekend in the summer.

Might be a good spot to start checking for city stickers, auto insurance, current plates, drivers licenses, dui's, etc.

Ole Jose!
