Chicago is one of the best examples of the worst failures of the Democratic Party, and the city just proved its status as the worst of the worst once again this week as a former city alderman, who was one of the most influential Democrats of his day, was found guilty of massive corruption.
On Thursday, former Chicago Alderman Ed Burke was found guilty on 13 of 14 counts of corruption, including racketeering, bribery and attempted extortion, WLS-TV reported after the verdict was read.
Only 20 years ?
It's a good sign he was convicted, considering it's Chicago.
I'll put this down as a WIN and a good omen of things to come.
Amen, I also take it as a sign God is hearing our prayers.
Whats worse is the pathetic sentences handed down for child sexual abuse.
Exactly, there is nothing to deter them.
20 years is hard time. Provided he actually serves 20 years. But he won't. Even so. Convicted. And, he's 79, so he'll do life at best.
The issue is convicted on 13 counts and only 20.
