Really Rahm? Really Media?

Honest to god, throw out lie after lie and it goes completely unchallenged:

• Mayor Rahm Emanuel said Monday that police are working on some security "blind spots" following the robbery of his teenage son near the family home last month.
  
  In his first comments to reporters since Zach Emanuel's cellphone was stolen in a Dec. 19 attack, the mayor worked to balance expressions of concern for his family, which largely lives outside the public eye, with an understanding that hardly any other Chicagoans enjoy such protection from crime. The mayor has a 24/7 police detail.
  
  "As it relates to either my or my family's safety, I want you to know the way I approach it is, first of all, we're fortunate, not only with this job but also what the public provides us," Emanuel said in his first news conference since returning from a family vacation to Chile. "Obviously, (police Superintendent) Garry McCarthy has addressed this, there are some blind spots and they're going to address it, from a safety on the block, not the safety of the house, or us. And I'll leave that for them to do, because it's their job to do, but it's their job to do it for everyone in the city, not just us."

Blind spots. Blind spots??? Here's a quick graphic of "blind spots" around the city of Chicago we threw together:

There's your freaking blind spot Rahm. Show it to McBookCooker, see what he thinks.

Then the fantasy really begins:

• According to Chicago police, Zach Emanuel was talking on his phone on that Friday at about 10:05 p.m. across the street and a few houses down from his family's home in the 4200 block of North Hermitage Avenue when two males came up behind him. One of them "placed his arm around the victim's neck in a rear chokehold," and the second one hit the teen, knocking him down, according to a police report.
  
  The robbers took the 17-year-old's phone and patted him down, according to the report. "The offenders then asked the victim, 'What else you got?' (and) forced the victim to enter his security code to unlock the phone."
  
  On Monday, the mayor said Zach, a junior at the University of Chicago Lab School, was talking to his college counselor when the robbers approached.

College counselor? At 10:05 PM? Outside, away from the house.

Wow.

We can't get our faculty adviser to return calls past 1900 hours and the mayor's kid has calls coming in at 10:05 PM. A call that he has to go outside to take, out of earshot of the father who, we imagine, is paying the freight at an exclusive school and getting ready to shell out some large coin on an Ivy League or equivalent type college. We imagine that ourselves and the spouse footing the bill would want to be a very involved part of that phone call, don't you think?

Now, a substance abuse counselor, we imagine they'd take/make calls 24/7. Or perhaps a dru....we mean, an unlicensed pharmaceutical salesman....that might be a call we'd rather keep away from mom and dad. But the media runs and prints the shit that spews out of Rahm's mouth and we can almost guarantee that this is the last published word about any of this.
