So are you saying there are maybe 2 degrees of separation between BO and the Chicago guy who was offed? hmmm. just coincidence i’m sure, just like Hasan being at a Homeland Security conference for Obama’s transition was a coincidence.

You see it’s a coincidence if you don’t believe in coincidence. You’re getting very very sleepy......

He apparently fell forward after shooting himself, and the gun was found near the body, the sources say.

Good thing he ‘fell forward’ into the river....the lack of gun powder on his hand will now be explained away. How convenient! (eye roll) Those Chicago/Obama thugs sure are smart...lol.

Did he shoot himself in the head before or after getting into the river? Or did he jump and shoot simultaneously? Seriously, the only way I can see somebody managing to accomplish this is if there’s an un-railed spot where one can stand right at the edge of a pier or river-wall, and the person stood at the very edge with back towards the river and shot from the front, to make the force of the shot tip him into the river. It’s just hard to picture this really happening . . .

Dittos..but remember....’Everything’ is possible in Chicago....lol. We are not to ask questions..the man always wanted to sleep with the fishes(and dead thugs) in the Chicago river. /sarcasm

On a serious note, it’s a pretty strange place to commit ‘suicide’. Why that spot? Lots of buildings around with a clear view and no-one heard or saw a thing?

“police used his cell phone to locate him”

Guess the cell phone wasn’t on him or it would have been dead.

“Scott was also subpoenaed last summer by a federal grand jury investigating
how students are chosen for admission to elite public schools.
The probe was to determine whether some students were being “clouted” in.

Scott said at the time he was surprised by the subpoena and flatly denied
that he has ever flexed his political muscle — during two stints
as board president – to clout any student into a “selective enrollment” school.”

Life imitates “art”.

This sounds like the plot from one of the “Law And Order” episodes
that involved a murder over shenanigans involved in admission to
an elite private school (pre-school, kindergarten???).

If whatever happened, happened in the wee hours of the morning, it’s not so surprising that nobody saw or heard anything.
