Never saw noosepaper and community so play into hands of elected officials as Sun-Times Sunday, with its weeper, “Englewood kids in the crossfire,” and Chi Trib with its “LIVING IN WEST ENGLEWOOD: A family endures,” about the fearful and the beleaguered in Englewood, and 500 people following Daley and Blago and ex-Black Panther Rush around in a compassion parade. Blago talked gun control, Daley said (not kidding) “There is no excuse for anyone to take a gun and point it at a child or at a home in any community.”
Does Blago think he can keep guns out of gangsters’ hands with a new law? And does Daley think there are people who defend pointing guns at children? Do any of them see this as a law enforcement problem rather than an opportunity to make sad and serious while making political hay?
