Great Reporting by the Slum Times

So this article is still up as of Tuesday evening:

• Chicago Fire Department personnel found a person dead on the Chicago Transit Authority Red Line tracks near 69th Street on the South Side Monday afternoon after responding to a call, officials said.

  The body was found when the fire department responded to a call of a person on the tracks around 2:36 p.m., a fire department spokesperson said.

  Chicago police said a man whose age was not immediately known had jumped from a moving CTA Red Line train and was incapacitated when he landed on the third rail.

  The man was later struck by an oncoming train and pronounced dead at the scene, police said.

Except that's not what happened - CWB has the real story:

• Three men pushed a 29-year-old man from a moving Red Line train Monday afternoon, sending him onto the tracks where he was struck and killed by another train, according to Chicago police.

  CPD initially reported that the man had jumped from the train near 69th Street and landed on the third rail, “where he remained incapacitated,” before being struck by an oncoming train.

  But investigators later determined that the man had been involved in an altercation with three men aboard the train around 2:30 p.m., according to updated information from CPD. Police now say the three men pushed him from the moving train, leading to his death.

God forbid the Slum Times report timely facts that might make Conehead's CTA look like a crime ridden Hell hole.

One might think crime happens all the time on the CTA....like this (also reported by CWB):

• A man dressed in a security guard’s uniform maced and punched a passenger on a Red Line train on the North Side while making antisemitic comments, according to a community alert issued by Chicago police. Now, CPD needs help identifying the assailant.

  The attack happened around 6:55 p.m. August 25 as the victim was riding a train near the Granville station, police said.

  The man seen in surveillance images sprayed the victim with mace, punched them in the face and made antisemitic statements during the attack, according to CPD. Police did not disclose the victim’s age or gender.

And almost always the Red Line....makes you wonder.
