And in reality Chicago's political culture is more like the USSR under Stalin. Daley's cronies who get caught get with their hand in the cookie jar by the Feds magically disappear down the memory hole. All of a sudden Daley gets amnesia and will say to reporters,Anyone remember Anthony Pizziruli? He was one of Daley's cronies who was caught with an unregistered handgun with the serial number filed off (a federal offense) when he was pulled over for drunk driving. He was not prosecuted.
No, I don't. So I tried searching, found one reference to an old article on him finally getting fired from the City payroll. His 'gun problem' was only a snippet.
In any case its not surprising. All the Cook County judges are approved by Daley and the Cook County States Attorney, DICK Devine, wouldn't DARE go after a Daley crony.
But if YOU get caught with a gun in your car with one round in it, or a loaded magazine near the gun, get ready for 10 years in Statesville Prison. That sob hates law abiding gun owners more than blood thirsty gang-bangers.
