And they called him by name.
That was the part that convinced me it was a hoax.....................
But for me, it was knowing exactly what this kind of weather/temp is like in Chicago, that blew the BIGGEST hole in the story! People don't just wear ski masks, when the temps are this low there, they also wrap heavy woolen scarves, over the ballaklavas, as well and even THAT doesn't help all that much when the wind is up...which it was! Just try screaming anything that someone else knows what you've yelled/said through those layers! LOL
And as an aside...it is extremely well known that crime fikgures go waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay down, in Chicago, in the winter! EVERYONE IS AT HOME, INSIDE; EVEN THE THUGS!
