Where's Alderman Moore?
Why isn't he out warning the community and passing out flyers? I haven't seen one email from him for this community alert!
Does this not warrant a political email blast or something?
Craig, why don't you have your tights and cape on? You should be flying over the 49th ward.
Craig - Come on, don't forget the mantra - Crime is Down.....
The child wasn't physically harmed, so we don't need to gather or do anything. It's all under control. NOT.
