It’s impressive how sh!tty that looks. Perfect for the diBlabbo family.
Shouldn’t some heads be rolling? I mean, isn’t their home protected with guards and surveillance and such? Most would have 24/7 protection, you’d think.

Just as soon as the IRS goes after Sharpton...
Apparently the kid went outside to “make a phone call”. Because we all know cellular phones don’t work indoors.
My money is on dooby time around back.
Oh, WITHOUT a doubt!
A decent sniper could still make a hit and bypass security and surveillance.
Well, of course no one is safe - I’m just wondering who will be the scapegoat in this, because, if the kid was making a dope deal, that’s going to ruin the narrative. ;)
Zach just learned night time ain’t no time to be on the street in Chicago.
That was my first thought, too. He probably didn't get a permit because he knew that no architectural review board in the world would let him get away with fencing like that around a historic building.
Thank goodness he didn’t have a gun! The mugger could have been hurt! /s
You reap what you sow...in this case what Daddy sows. Poor kid. How would you like to have that Azzhole for a father?
Police officers are assigned to the mayor’s home front and back 24 hours a day
Maybe you are right, the real world is not all love and compassion as the liberals want us to believe. Anyway he has been given a love tap. Let us hope that he is a fast learner.
BTW, if my dad wore ballet shoes and tights and "Tripped the Light Fandango", I might consider adoption.
Apparently not.
Or there is much more to this story.

Mayor 5%
24-hours-a-day, fully 5% of the 19th district’s police manpower is committed to sitting outside of the mayor’s house. Even when nobody’s home. The city also installed police pod cameras at both ends of Emanuel’s block after he won the 2011 mayoral election.
“Or there is much more to this story.”
My money is on:
Dipstick kid of Mayor Tinkletoes regularly goes out back to blaze up. Cops regularly deliberately ignore said behavior. Local goons notice this behavior and take advantage.
Pretty simple really.

That’s an efficient use of police resources. Not.
