Friday Night's Alright for Fighting

Mayor Dick Daley's Magical Emergency Meeting on Violence didn't seem to help much. Seems the nutjobs and criminals don't pay much attention to what he wants them to do - or not do. Here are just a few snippets that I jotted down while listening to my police scanner Friday evening. People, I urge you to get a scanner.
