No! It must be understood that Ft. Marcy Park is reserved solely for the antics of The Clintoons8-)

RIP.

Stroger is dead.

Was the name Burris that was to tear Hannity up or Burgess or Bergess?

Veeery nice place to have an 'accident'. The middle of freaking NOWHERE! Its no wonder there were no witnesses. I looked this location up in Google Maps and its alllll farmland & woods. But the article is slightly wrong, the location is in Newark, IL 60541, not unincorporated Plano. But it IS 'near' the Plano School Dist 88.

But the *odd* things about this are:

• He was going eastbound on Rogers Rd - away from his house in Sandwich, IL.
  
• Going East on Rogers @ Oakbrook Rd is approaching a Main Cross Intersection, Whitfield Rd.
  
• He should have been slowing down or getting ready to, depending how close he was to Oakbrook Rd. As Whitfield is the 'main road' and he'd have to stop. Rogers Rd dead ends shortly after Whitfield Rd.
  
• If he was going the speed limit, hitting a Tree Head on should NOT have killed him, especially in a BMW. Seat belt or not.

Another 'funny thing' is in the 'good old days' The Chicago Outfit would (cough) 'get rid of' people in this type of area. One couple who crossed the Mob were chased down in their car and shotgunned to death right in this area, again, no witnesses. And the Spilotro bros (Tony & Michael) were found in a Farm Field straight east of here in Indiana, as replayed in the movie Casino₍₁₎.

Now I'm not saying this was a Hit but this thing smells of dead fish.

(1) Except in real life they were killed in a Chi suburb (Elmhurst) house basement. And the Mobsters who botched the burial were also whacked. (sigh.... I love the old Mob, they had scruples)

BUMP. Stole it for CHicago Crime thread.

*** BUMP. Stole it for CHicago Crime thread. ***

yep, saw that. Its fine :-)

Except my footnote is wrong as to 'a house Elmhurst'. Upon actual research it was 'a house Bensenville' (Rt 83 & Irving Park Rd) that the Spilotro bros were whacked. [those Suburbs border each other, Elmhurst is to the South, my memory failed me ;-)]

LOL.

[Marysecretary]

Yeah, I agree. Illinoiscide?

[Marysecretary]

Maybe they’ve been threatened somehow. Wouldn’t put it past the Chicago/Illinois mafia there.

[Marysecretary]

Hannity’s not much of a debater. Now Rush...

[callisto]

Freudian slip.

[callisto]

Thanks for the info. Good research!

The most threatening adm. ever.

We’re being led down the path of those who operate
like...well we know who they are and how they operate.

I hope people will wake up to this insanity and
realize where this country is going. No, has come.

If we are to survive and keep our many freedoms this
may be the last time we will be able to stand up to his enemy legally and without violence.

This enemy will not be afraid to use unethical ways to intimidate
in ways we only see in certain countries. We’ve already seen intimidations
and some questionable deaths.

This is an American fight, not a Party fight. IMO
Vote out the Marxists.

[Marysecretary]

I can only agree, Princess.

"Why use the word killed, why not say he died shortly before 3?

Because he didn't just innocuously die shortly before 3p.m., he was killed when his car impacted with the tree.

Congressman Mark Kirk will probably run for Sen. Burris’ seat. If that happens, who will run for Kirk’s U.S. House seat? I read that State Rep. Elizabeth Coulson, a Glenview Republican, might run.

Key witness killed in car accident.

Today, 6.19 this:

“HOW FORTUNATE for Burris and Blago.”

Not to mention how FORTUNATE for Obama. Ya just gotta know he’s enmeshed in this whole sordid affair.

Welcome to the “Support Burris 2010” Web site.

It looks like "the way" has been conveniently cleared for him to try to hold onto the seat in 2010.
