Chicago - Bodies Found at Home of Federal Judge
Associated Press | February 28, 2005

Posted on 02/28/2005 7:12:08 PM PST by HAL9000

CHICAGO (AP) -- Authorities found two bodies at the home of a federal judge Monday night, and Chicago police and the FBI were investigating.

The bodies were found at the home of U.S. District Judge Joan Humphrey Lefkow, but the judge was uninjured, police spokesman Patrick Camden said.

He declined to elaborate.

FBI agents were assisting police but would provide no details.

I'm far beyond the edge of the Right wing myself, but I have zero tolerance for Nazis. If there is a lower order of life than that of a racial supremacist (no matter what color they are), it'd surprise me.

This was done to keep "white supremacist's" in the news. Most likely a Gov. Rod Bag-o-bitch, BATF or FBI stunt....Matthew Hale is one guy that lived at his parents house for crying out loud. He was about as dangerous as your cat.

Right, Matt was a fine guy, it's all a conspiracy.

Damn!!!! Some how I figured she had to be a klintoon buffon. Hale was not of the appropriate political mind-set for slick&the judge. Hale should have apppealed to the Supreme Court for a decision on receiving his law license

What possible difference does it make that Clinton appointed her? Unless you're suggesting a Bush appointee would naturally be defferential to white supremecists. And Hale did take his law license case to the Illinois Supreme Court. He lost.

Well .. his name is Jewish - but I am aware that he attends an Episcopal Church - however, that doesn't stop him from continuing to be Jewish.

However, if she's not Jewish - maybe that's why they killed the husband - and the mother was just collateral damage.

I know that's harsh - but killers do not think logically - if they did - I don't think they'd be killers.

I hope people in Chicago keep us informed about what's going on with this case. Very disturbing event.

" .and we do not know if her husband had a gun and/or if he did; whether he had a chance to use it. ..or not.

We have to wait for many of the details before we can wrap up our assumptions here. . ."

Do you really think we'll be told the whole truth?

Even if he had a special provision to have a gun - not likely we'll be allowed to know that.

Anything that embarrasses the political correctness WILL BE DENIED to the media.

I've been so absorbed by domestic islamic terror sleeper cells, that I have lost focus of the other domestic terrorists in our country--the white supremist monsters. I think this story woke me (and perhaps others) up to the fact that we need to fight the battle for our country on several fronts: islamicfascists; leftist marxists; and white supremists. They all have much in common and may form their own axis of evil one day soon, despite some differences in philosophy.

May they rest in peace.

Apparently my mother, a native of Chicago, knew this woman. She mentioned last night that in addition to the white supremacists, this judge had also worked on a case in which goverment folks were selling fake drivers' licenses to the highest bidder. Mom says the scandal contributed to the discrediting of the Ryan governorship. I suppose it's possible the white supremacist link is a red herring.

Hale's "mindset" doesn't appear to be appropriate for any decent American. Hope he gets locked up for life with lots of "cultural diversity". Wouldn't that be an appropriate hell for him, until he gets to the real Hell, where his eternity awaits.

I don't think anyone is taking over anything here dear but I understand your concern.

Folks like Matt Hale and his followers are far and few between...

This is not a movement.

Well, as sceptical as I am; I may not be quite 'that' sceptical. The other thing. ..the Lib of the MSM often do not even realize where 'political correctness' begins or ends in their stories. . .it is so normal to them; so they might report, easily, the fact that this husband tried to protect himself with a gun etc. . .if he in fact did.

From what has been said thus far; it does not sound like there was an opportunity; though actually. . .not much has been said. . .'so far'.

Does appear that the family was depending on 'police protection' for their main security; and that somehow; there was a breakdown here - as the perp broke a window to enter.

Sad and horrible event that unfolded here.

Serial killer Joel Rivkin lived at his parent's house too. Even if Hale couldn't bring himself to kill someone, his followers have provided ample proof that they are more than willing to do so. Hale is a loser and a creep, and his intelligence has been over-exaggerated.

that is horrible about Percy's dtr....even I was a little too young for that....

I watched the news this morning .....FOX....and they have already arrested,convicted and executed Hale as far as I could tell.....

there must be a million felons who at one time or another threatened judges, lawyers, the police, witnesses.....

that is not all that unusual....

the famous Spokane serial rapist, after his conviction, his own mother tried to hire someone to kill the prosecutor......

constrast this moral outrage with the MSM, Fox included, about this case and the TOTAL LACK OF CONCERN ABOUT THE COPTIC KILLINGS IN NEW JERSEY.......

it seems that if there is any inference to "white" or "Christian" as possible perp the case gets shoved to the head of the line......

white, Christian Coptics, be damned.....

There was a blurb in the NYPost about the Armanious family (the Coptic Christians murdered in Jersey City); one of the killers appears to have used one of the victims ATM cards. I don't see that this proves robbery as a motive however; so they were scum who hated Christians and weren't above taken their money. Many of us here have been trying to keep this case in the public eye and I believe our emails may have influenced America's Most Wanted to profile the case last week.

But I don't agree that Hale is some railroaded puppy dog. He's a pretty foul character and is not a true Christian. Two Jews in two separate incidents were each murdered by a muslim during Ramadan. One of the perps said "Well, I've killed my Jew". Betcha didn't hear much about this one either.

last Fed judge killed was by ethnic Lebanese Texans I think.

Chagra (?)...two brothers Lee and (somebody...Ray maybe?)....the hotheaded brother didn't hire the hit...it was the cool one which surprised folks. The Chagras were sort of Hummous meets BBQ Texas Mafia.


used Woody Harrelson's dad as the hitter....a Judge Wood in San Antoine I think.

early 80s...over dope cases.

pinging Texans for clarification
