City Hall BBQ?

We can't find a single mention anywhere in the media: 

  • Arsonist attempted to set City Hall on fire on Friday about 10:20pm. No one knew about it until this morning. The entire incident was captured on POD. Arsonist sprayed an accelerant on the outside stone and sidewalk of the exterior of LaSalle and Randolph. Nice fire light show but it all fizzled away in less than 5mins. The house mice inside City Hall were all asleep and had no idea. 

So granite, limestone and marble doesn't burn.

And no one saw it, reported it, or responded to it, the incident only being revealed when someone spotted the scorch marks on the building when the sun rose?

Attempting to ignite inert rock. We’ve fallen from the once Great United States. There’s no coming back from that level of stupidity.

001 SDSC room sweating real hard right now. What do they even do in there all night to not see a literal fire?

I’m sure it won’t be the last incident. It’s sad to say the city is falling apart. It might have been someone who got their taxes raised or got a camera ticket. The state of the city and the management of our beloved department is in shambles. I’ll just be glad to retire in four years and abandon our once loved city.

Now that old song can be rewritten with a new word inserted. ..the hall, the hall, the hall is on fire. We don't need no water, let the mother-ucker burn. Barney Fife is real? With cops like that watching, maybe we really don't need the police. Are they on the merit list?

Those rooms do not need "24 hour surveillance". If something happens where it's needed, then someone from the desk or watch secretary can easily walk over and begin to work the cameras. There is no more shot spotter so send them back to the streets.

I believe we have just come closer to the scenario where the villagers run down to city hall with pitchforks and torches, remove Johnson and tar and feather him in Daley plaza and tie him to the Picasso for public display.

I recently retired and settled out of state, what are the property tax raises in 016, specifically Edison Park?? That could have been me, but I am still delirious about selling my overpriced residence in Chicago and moving to a much larger home with a 1.2 acre lot for a lot less money.

I work in the SDSC room. It is not easy. You have to stay alert, listen to the radio and be able to think quickly on your feet.

Yeah I know. Some of you will make fun of what I said. So what? If it is so easy then apply for it when they have positions available.

Chances are while you are watching a movie on Netflix. I am in the SDSC room.
