Hmmm... this journo used to be the fashion writer; demoted to covering the crime beat.

Did I get that right?

So is there a Chicago cop walking around with the impression of a LODGE, WAGNER or GRISWOLD on his head? Or did the protester cheapen out and use aluminum CLUB ware.

“Hey Gary! Wanna go down to the Occupy rally and protest against the depradations of the oppressor class?”

“Sure! Just let me get my frying pan first!”

The punk has a double major in journalism and Poly-Sci and works in a pizza joint. Another overachiever.

What's the deal here... are the Chicago thugs so lazy they're farming out the riot work to out-of-staters? What'd they do... unionize?

Well, he’s working at Pizzeria Due, downtown, that’s not your average “pizza joint”. You could make hundreds of bucks in tips on a slow day there.
