Murder in Chicago: it's among friends

Arlene Jones writes The carnage continues while elected officials do little.

As many of you who read this column know, I am not a fan of Mayor Daley. While I was watching Channel 7 News' coverage of the rally that occurred after the murder of Rosalyn Tripp, someone asked the mayor about the effect of Chicago's murder rate on his Olympic 2016 bid. His response: "It has no effect because, first of all, you look at all the victims; they know each other and the offenders..."

Well, ain't that just dandy?

Enough is enough. Chicago needs to be swept clean of politicians like this.
