Chicago’s political leadership is floating a pension buyout program as evidence it is seriously addressing the city’s thirty-six-billion-dollar unfunded pension liability, but Mark Glennon, founder of the Illinois policy research organization Wirepoints, said that the proposal moves debt from one column to another rather than reducing it, and that the broader fiscal picture facing the city continues to deteriorate across every measurable dimension.

The state’s existing buyout program for its own pensions is the precedent for Chicago, which should be a warning: Look out for similar exaggerated claims and shoddy analysis.

They was just “ funnin “. They aren’t Baby Capones so don’t demonize them. Crime is down.

Robocop or Snake Plissken would work.
Seriously how do the people feel who work in those stores? Their lives will be changed and anxiety levels sky high looking over their shoulders especially those who were robbed and the perps have all their info on where they live/stopping all credit cards and the work it is to clean up the mess. THe worst part is if caught they will be let go in most cases.

Why don’t you read the articles before commenting on them?

I was referring not to just this guy but many of the crimes committed by all these punks. Carjackings/robberies/etc are done to get your belongings like your wallet/purse/autos/cash. Lots of info in the glove boxes like purses/registration/etc.How do we know that this 14 year old did not rob people on the streets before they went into the stores which most have cameras and videos?
WTF is wrong with you? He committed armed robbery. Do you understand that? He used a f’n weapon? It doesn’t matter if it was cash or credit cards. One thing you will never have to worry about is eating ice cream to fast and suffering from brain freeze.
