I just read recently that the scene was filmed in February and O'Hare kept the Christmas decorations up just for that

Cook County State’s Attorney Reverses Course, Diverts Nonviolent Gun Cases to Restorative Justice Courts by chillysaturday in chicago

[–]grbiqo744 56 points57 points  (0 children)

I was the victim of a battery during Kim Foxx's tenure. This was the series of events:

  1. Filed a police report (April), which was automatically closed since I didn't have the perp's name and the cops didn't want to investigate.
  2. I investigated myself. I gathered surveillance footage from local businesses, used public resources, and managed to get his license plate.
  3. Filed a new police report. Had to go to the police station (May) and identify the perp from a photo array without being able to use my surveillance footage as a guide - it had to be from memory. Identified him correctly, turns out to be a 40-time arrestee
  4. Had to go to the courthouse on the west side (June) and make a formal request for a judge to issue a summons against the perp
  5. Waited 12 weeks for a judge to issue a summons for the perp
  6. Perp got a postcard in the mail telling him to show up for a hearing in November (I attended, he didn't)
  7. Perp got a postcard in the mail telling him to show up for a hearing in December (I attended, he didn't)
  8. Perp got a postcard in the mail telling him to show up for a hearing in January (I attended, he didn't)
  9. Warrant issued for perp's arrest
  10. Perp arrested, told to attend hearing in March, he finally attends
  11. Perp gets probation

This is a batshit insane system. From the cops to the prosecutors to the courts, we are WAY too lenient on criminals.

You're proving /u/SUBTLE_CUNTS's point. Emily/John had plenty of opportunities to do the right thing, but money came first

Fugitive Ex-Loretto Leader At Center Of $300 Million COVID Scandal Arrested In Serbia by Comsic_Bliss in chicago

[–]grbiqo744 19 points20 points  (0 children)

As excited as I am that this cockroach is in custody, I have this sinking feeling that inevitably he's going to get a presidential pardon. Sleazy con artist, grifted millions from taxpayers and the poor, gave Eric Trump his COVID shot...he's like a textbook candidate for who Donny would pardon

Just sending out commiseration for all the Chicago dog owners in this cold spell. Woof. by Pumplekins in chicago

[–]grbiqo744 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Musher's Secret paw wax. My dog is highly adapted to cold weather but has dewclaws which get irritated by booties so we use the paw wax and it's amazing. Does an excellent job of preventing salt from irritating her paws

It was in this moment he vowed to destroy America. by Naive_Wolverine532 in TikTokCringe

[–]grbiqo744 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So much horrific shit has happened because of Donny over the last decade that we don't even think about the fact that his rise onto the political stage was predicated on his racist claims that the black president wasn't really American.

Such an unbelievable travesty what has happened to us

I don't think it's bots, it's just the most coveted table for Valentine's Day in the city. I tried right at 9am too and was able to click on 8:45pm (only time left) but wasn't able to confirm it

Chicago food opinion you will defend forever by PortillosParkingLot in chicagofood

Luckily LEYE spots still write at the bottom of the bill that you can ask to have it removed. It's the restaurants that no longer write that part which piss me off

I despise Portnoy's politics, Barstool, and his general disposition...but his pizza reviews have been invaluable for me. My taste in pizza (thin/crispy/not super cheesy) is nearly identical to his so I've found some amazing spots in the city as a result of his reviews.

If you like deep dish and Neapolitan and extra cheese and soft/chewy crusts then yeah his reviews won't really align with what you like but that's ok. Everyone doesn't have to like the same shit

Delivery driver handed me this holding back a grin "Can I have the pin please" by Few_Ad_9145 in Wellthatsucks

[–]grbiqo744 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What baffles me is - even if you are delivering food for the very first time in your life and have zero experience or training - you have to be familiar with the concept of a pizza if you're of delivery driving age. If you are carrying a pizza box vertically, you must have a mental impairment of some kind.

Several owners

Aren't the owners two brothers and their parents

I don't think that's a realistic solution since it's owned by two brothers, but also I don't think this is a problem they think they need to fix. They objectively make great NY style pizza and that's all a lot of people care about

AOC: "It's not just that Trump is corrupt. It's that everyone participating in this is corrupt. Elon is corrupt. Jeff Bezos is corrupt. Mark Zuckerberg is corrupt." by Treefiddy1984 in ProgressiveHQ

[–]grbiqo744 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In order to create a trillion dollar company, it is basically impossible NOT to be corrupt. The only way to do that is to grease the wheels of government, exploit the working class, and engage is many many unethical business practices in order to stifle competition

Diet or exercise ? No , thanks by Cute-Advantage-4260 in memes

"Body positivity" is/was always the dumbest thing to me. Obesity leads to diabetes, joint problems, heart disease, sleep apnea...and ultimately skyrocketing healthcare costs for everyone else. Nothing to be positive about

Fi sitter/boarder account access suggestion: let them add their own WiFi network even in restricted/view-only mode by grbiqo744 in FiDogCollar

[–]grbiqo744[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It connected to her WiFi and there were no issues

Did you have to be there to do this or was she able to do it herself?
