Cease Beating (Your Wife)

  • The head of the CeaseFire Illinois anti-violence group is in police custody in west suburban Hillside, charged with domestic battery, and the arrest could threaten the organization’s funding from the city of Chicago.

    The wife of Tio Hardiman, director of CeaseFire Illinois and creator of the Violence Interrupter Initiative, “came into the police station” Friday morning to report a domestic battery, said Hillside Police Chief Joseph Lukaszek.

    Hillside police went to Hardiman’s home in the west suburb and arrested him, Lukaszek said.

    Hardiman, charged with one count of domestic battery, was in custody Friday and will remain behind bars until a bond hearing Saturday, the chief said.

Hey Rahm? Can Chicago get their million dollars back? Or do you support wife beaters? We already know you support the "no snitching" policy - maybe Mrs. Tio should have kept her mouth shut?

Tio will probably get a promotion and a book deal and the city will extend the contract another three years.
The only thing Mrs Hardiman gets is a fat lip and two black eyes.
She will drop the charges if it jeopardizes the contract.

Too bad he was grabbed in the burbs. I'd have loved to see the box on the arrest report that says 'occupation'...'violence interruptor'. But, then again, the Dept. probably would have blocked us from reading it and obtained CR's if we did.

Violence interruptor beats his wife...oh, the irony! Too freaking funny.

---------------------------------

This is a good point! Why no residency requirements for the million dollar cease fire crew?

All that taxpayer money being exported to Hillside and to who knows where else as the Sanct-u-airy City faces a World-Class bankruptcy.

Still got the glittery $55 million dollar maggie park tho -- that no one can sit in. Just look at it!! Ain't it pretty? You didn't build that, someone else did with the city worker pension money.

Don't tell me that money is not fungible, that it's all corporate donation money funded -- as it's the corporate tax breaks that free up the money for the political donations.

Oh are the corporations not generous?

I don't know Tio, but come on how many of these domestic battery charges are just BS?

Sort of BS that he was charged, no evidence at all. She went to the station, why not call 911. A boyfriend could have roughed her up, but she claims Tio.

With the money he is pulling in, she could have $$'s in her eyes.

This is one case where Rahm was 100% wrong. This is another case proving he said he would work with community groups, most of the community groups are a bunch of lazy loafers too stupid to get employment pretending to be do-gooders. I never liked Ceasefire and knew from the beginning it was a scam to get free money while doing as little as possible. Someone told me Too was his brother and he was proud that he was no longer, "in the life." It became apparent then that Too was fake.
