The only way Chicago recovers from Groot is the election of the second incarnation of Mayor Daley. Not the son, but the old man. In his day, the ferals knew that any kind of mayhem down in the Loop meant a quick escort by the checkerheads to a convenient alley for a wooden shampoo. Short of a return to that policy, Chicago will not recover.
Yep was the same way with Chief Brier in Milwaukee.
I agree. “Da Mare” (as it was pronounced back in the day) would have taken care of this crap in a heartbeat. He was the king of malapropisms, but he loved the city deeply, and would not suffer any insult or indignity to it.
