Yeah, but we probably won’t want to claim him. A real character, but a real bad egg who provided the template for the political culture for which Chicago has become notorious.
On a side note, I have a slight personal connection to him. A distant cousin of mine, James Thompson, of Randolph County, did the original surveying of Chicago. His tools are at the Chicago Historical Society. He died in the 1870’s.

Reading that article sounds like a number of those shot were “passersby”
Maybe if they had some strict gun laws, and forced people not to carry guns this wouldn’t happen.
Yeah, but nowadays you can’t say they’re badder than “Ol King Kong”
