Also now to document the difference in life/quality after a great escape to another state.SavaShiphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03677466127540986207noreply@blogger.comBlogger1591100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6044198667813746310.post-86671994081335422592012-02-13T22:08:00.000-06:002012-02-13T22:08:33.080-06:00

John Burge, the name should be familiar to you, since he was convicted in 2010 on 3 counts of obstructing justice, and perjury.   The only downside is that he can't be held accountable for the torture he performed on alleged criminals that were unfortunate enough to meet him.   There is a statute of limitations on torture apparently, but not on the perjury related to lying about not torturing

A lawsuit from 2003 where war protesters were arrested without warning for demonstrating without a permit was finally settled this week.   Chicago agreed to pay out a total of $6.2 million dollars which is to be divided amongst more than 700 people.   It comes out to about $8,700 per person.   Many may think that is fair, since no one was injured, but if you think about it, imprisonment is in

Chicago police have arrested a man who they say pointed a handgun at officers on the city's West Side. Officers fired shots on the gunman, missing him, but taking him into custody after a brief foot chase at about 10 p.m. Wednesday in the 1100 block of North Keystone Avenue in the West Humboldt Park neighborhood, police said.

Many people around the world have been following the Drew Peterson story.   This is a former cop who has been accused of killing his wife Stacy Peterson.   She reportedly told her pastor, Rev. Neil Schori, that Drew had killed his previous wife and made it look like an accident, and was now in fear of her own life.   Shortly after that, she disappeared. What does this have to do with Oak Brook
