Aggravated Assault

  • Mayor Richard Daley offered an odd comment today while discussing what a post-gun ban Chicago would look like.

    During a news conference, a reporter suggested Chicago's gun ban has been ineffective, given the number of shootings that still occur in the city.

    In response, Daley picked up a long rifle from among dozens of seized weapons the Chicago Police Department displayed on a table.

    "It's been very effective. If I put this up your butt, you'll find out how effective it is. Let me put a round up your, you know," said Daley, who chuckled during the remark.

    "But that's why you want to get them out," he continued. "You want to get these out. This gun saved many lives. It could save your life."

Leaving aside the fact that he stopped making sense by the fourth line, did he just threaten to stick a rifle up a reporter's ass? That's Aggravated Assault. Tossing in the "in a public building" subsection, that's another aggravating factor. You know, kind of like the ASA tossed in "public place of amusement" to jack up Abbate's charges?

At the very least, Shortshanks ought to be in for a 72-hour evaluation.

This Guy is the most ineloquent, low brow, low intellect mayor of any big city. Guess whose fault that is, that's right our fault for continuously voting for him.

If it wasn't for his dad he'd be a day laborer at best.

Even though you have the strictest gun laws in the country you still have the highest murder rate per capita of any major city. How dare you use the fact that a po was murdered to champion your failed handgun ban. The fact that you chose an inept moron to lead our department is the reason this city is out of control.

he also hinted that if one of the Supreme Court justices were to "have an incident on the way to work..." they would change their mind about overturning Chicago's gun ban...

We're sorry, but if we made such a veiled reference inferring that we hope harm would come to a sitting Supreme Court Justice for ANY FUCKING REASON let alone to advance a failed gun ban policy, you can bet a fat woman's ass a USDOJ SWAT team of some sort would be blowing our front, back & side doors off the hinges for an unfriendly chat!

What a nasty, vile, insecure little creature he is!

Of all things, the national and international media should go viral with this sound bite!

Add that to his appearance earlier this week at a school, promoting 'green living'.

He was probably supposed to give some off the cuff remarks about how to conserve and re-use, but it ended up being a babbling rant about how the students should keep their desks, and the hallways, and their lockers, clean - and create less trash so fewer janitors would be needed. Bizarre.

It was embarrassing, at the least, and kind of frightening, in truth.

After all this time I still can't believe the things coming out of our esteemed mayor's mouth.

But then again, if I and my family had an armed escort around 24/7 I might start to think my shit don't stink.

He threatens a reporter at a news conference and nothing happens. I'm sure that if that conversation had been reversed, hiz honor would be crying like a little girl, demanding that the bad reporter be arrested for threatening a public official.

His comment that maybe a Supreme Court Justice or two be a victim of gun violence to make a point on HIS sacred gun ban is at best irresponsible.

If this had been a uniformed police officer, they would have been stripped and sent to call back. But Daley believes he is above the law and can say and do whatever he pleases.

I wouldn't waste 72 MINUTES evaluating this friggin criminal. HIS evaluation will come in the afterlife, when deceased citizens of Chicago will be able to weigh in with St. Peter before they even consider letting the pos through the pearly gates.


THEN they'll have to stand by and watch to make sure that Daley and his predeceased crime family members don't actually STEAL the pearly gates in an effort to buy the votes of Beelzebub and his guardians at his next destination . . . the gates of hell.


No doubt the members of the Daley Crime Family have already bought enough votes in Hell for the stuttering prick to move right in and become Mayor there!

My thoughts exactly!! How about finding something under Homeland Security...He picked up an assault weapon in a public building...couldn't that be making terroist threats? I know if John Q Public did this it would be front page news and he'd be labeled a terrorist....
It's the same reason you can't yell fire in a movie theater.. you can't pick up a gun and say "I'm gonna shove it up you butt" and it be a joke. Would I be treated the same under the law? I think not...


Rally for a vote of NO CONFIDENCE in our mayor by the city departments!!

"Someone has to run against this idiot anyone but Daley.

5/21/2010 12:47:00 AM"



here's how the machine is going to do it:


1. they'll run at least three shills, a black female, an hispanic female and a white homosexual male.

2. they'll allow any number of non-politician, unknown-to-the-general-public candidates to squeak by with the minimum number of signatures, just to ensure as complete a dilution as possible of all votes not cast for daley.

3. should there be multiple Republican politicians submitting nominating petitions, (don't laugh, it is 'possible'), they'll knock off the strongest and allow the weakest to make it to the ballot.

3. they'll saturate the west and south side reverunds' turfs with promises of future largesse, (and threats of future reductions in present largesse, should the residents choose to not vote the 'right way').

4. ditto the above for the hispanic enclaves.

5. they'll establish a new low in pre-election mudslinging, via our own, home grown media whores.

6. in the months leading up to the election, jackie and mara will truly earn their salaries.

7. should there be an actual, genuine, SINGLE Republican candidate making it past the gauntlet of the election board challenges sure to be filed, expect the mud slinging to exceed the minimum standards of libel/slander.

8. the behind-closed-doors arm twisting of all of the machine's minions will rival anything seen to date in Abu Ghraib ......


the only thing unpredictable is whether or not the 'machine', in it's internal wisdom, will deem daley's seeking another term as more risky than putting up another single, machine touted candidate.

Hello – Love the blog – I read some of the comments and I failed to notice any one comment on the weapon that hiz honor held up, it was a rifle – and I believe, being a civilian and all, that rifles can be registered in this great city, that a form can be picked up at any one of the districts front desks. Just seemed to be an ironic gesture from a moron. Or a moronic gesture of an idiotic jester. Either way – stay safe

The rifle was an sks, one of the few semi-auto combat style rifles able to be registered. Except this particular one. Because it still had the folding bayonet attached which puts it in the unregisterable assault weapon category. Picking up an illegal weapon in a public place and making a threat (even in jest). Does our mayor have a FOID card.
If not he needs to be charged appropriately. Jodi do your job. Shortshanks may be mayor but he is not above the law. I would lmao if he doesn't have a FOID.
