Thanks to Craig for this valuable post, at* The Gooners are Back in Business:
Craig,
A friend of mine was walking home from the Morse 'L' on Friday at around 9:45pm when he was approached by group of youth near the intersection of Greenleaf & Ashland. They beat him up pretty good and took his palm pilot, ipod, and wallet. The credit card from his wallet was used to purchase $2,000 worth of stuff from a video game store within an hour. Police were able to make 2 arrests and he was able to positively ID the apprehended suspects. The court date is this Friday, 1:30PM at Belmont and Western.
CRAIG'S BLOGNOTES: The newly reformed Rogers Park Neighbors are calling for court advocacy on this arrest. Contact: craiggernhardt@comcast.net for details.TOM'S BLOGNOTES: Would it be too politically incorrect to ask for an accurate description of these animals? Were their pants hanging too low? What ethnicity are they? Should we be on the lookout for a bunch of white kids in plaid cardigan sweaters, or what? I'd like to know what to look out for. How about YOU?
A local storefront lawyer and his pal tried to have a field day when a neighbor wrote a post about a woman being abducted. The race of the abductors was stated so what did storefront do? He claimed it was a racist 'story'. However, when we watch or read the news, or the CPD alerts with sketches, the description of the perps is given.
