The purpose of the bill is just to categorize the crime more correctly, I guess...

Good thing The Polar Vortex wobbled south and was around. In February 2014, it was cold in Chicago. That month had lowest murder rate in Chicago since the 1950s! Go Global Warming/Climate Change! A warming arctic causing a wobbly Polar Vortex is surpressing the murder rate in Chicago. That's why this story is even more dubious sounding... When it gets cold, the murder and assault rate plummets with the temperatures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't all of that covered under Hate Crime laws? Even if it's redundant, I guess it's a harmless way to make some folks feel better. Like Obama's equal pay act.

unbillievable Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 "Unconfirmed sources suggest that the scratch on Jussie's face was caused by the actor being hit by frozen cubes of Bleach". ? I think, i'm done with reading articles on this story. It's too ridiculous at this point. More an SNL skit (or chapelle show). The media is still pushing the assault (instead of hoax) narrative, but the reader comments are almost exclusively calling him a liar.

MarkAF43 Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 I didn't even know who this guy was until I googled his name and apparently he was in the Mighty Ducks. He was Terry Hall. one third of the famed "Oreo" line from the movie. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
