I guess I am about to earn my “asshat” label . . .

Now that Mayor Daley has heard about this, I am waiting for his Gates legislation to be passed:

* Must apply for a Gate Owner’s ID card.
* Limit of 1 Gate a month.
* 10 day “Cooling off” waiting period on all new Gate purchases.
* NO “Straw Purchases” of Gates
* Must pass a background check to purchase a Gate.
* Total ban on Gates smaller than 30 inches.
* Gates must not be concealed
* NO “automatic” opening / closing Gates allowed unless a LEO
* None of these apply to Judges, Chicago Aldermen, or to anyone in the Daley clan

After all, it’s for the Children!

I don’t understand, what is Cabrini Green? It sounds pretty.

In the past, firefighters and ambulance drivers have refused to go into CG w/o police escort.

Wardaddy, I usually agree with you but I think this situation is a bit different. The boy yesterday was a young man of 17. He climbed over two 6’ fences into a restricted area. The little three year old kid wasn’t doing that.

Good to see you here by the way.
