Hatchet Posted February 7, 2012 at 05:45 PM Posted February 7, 2012 at 05:45 PM Haven't seen the picture posted yet. Mcdonald Vs.Chicago
Patriots & Tyrants Posted February 7, 2012 at 06:09 PM Posted February 7, 2012 at 06:09 PM I think heck just froze over....and pigs might be flying too Glad to see Chicago owning up to its mistakes and paying what it owes. Curious though, was the check for the full ammount or only part?
Lou Posted February 7, 2012 at 06:19 PM Posted February 7, 2012 at 06:19 PM I can't find it now but I had heard the judge fixed the amount because he felt the city jacked the plaintiff and the court around on purpose in order to jack up the plaintiff's legal bills. Can Federal Farmer confirm that?
Jeffrey Posted February 7, 2012 at 06:37 PM Posted February 7, 2012 at 06:37 PM A check is as good as the paper it is written on. Get back to me once it clears.
chicago Posted February 7, 2012 at 06:43 PM Posted February 7, 2012 at 06:43 PM Kind'a puts a smile on my face to see a cheque written to SAF w/ Immanuel's signature on it.Just think of how many parking attendants it took to steal the money for that thing!
Federal Farmer Posted February 7, 2012 at 06:57 PM Posted February 7, 2012 at 06:57 PM I can't find it now but I had heard the judge fixed the amount because he felt the city jacked the plaintiff and the court around on purpose in order to jack up the plaintiff's legal bills. Can Federal Farmer confirm that? I have not heard anythign about that. I think though, that this is SAF alone and that our lawyers got a separate check, but I also don't have hard data on that. If that is the sum total it strikes me as too low. That said, this is chump change for the City compared to what it pays out when your average honor student walking home from choir practice at 3am is shot by CPD. My only regret is that Daley wasn't forced to sign it. I bet that'd stick in his craw.
Xwing Posted February 7, 2012 at 07:17 PM Posted February 7, 2012 at 07:17 PM Nice check to see. I just love: To: Second Amendment Foundation From: City of Chicago. That must really bug the politicians in the city the hate 2a so much.
Frank Posted February 7, 2012 at 07:18 PM Posted February 7, 2012 at 07:18 PM I hope we can get the State of Illinois to write one, also! -- Frank
bemidji Posted February 7, 2012 at 07:55 PM Posted February 7, 2012 at 07:55 PM A giant poster of that check in the PCC lobby for IGOLD where all attendees could see it. Imagine a video crew capturing thatit and putting the image of that check on the evening news for a few seconds along with a story. I know IGOLD doesn't exist as far as Chi news hounds/politicians are concerned, but just the thought of it . . . That check would even look good on a T shirt and be a good conversation starter.
Jeffrey Posted February 7, 2012 at 08:14 PM Posted February 7, 2012 at 08:14 PM Does this confirm that Chicago is the #1 contributor to the SAF? That would make a great advertisement.
papa Posted February 7, 2012 at 08:40 PM Posted February 7, 2012 at 08:40 PM Does this confirm that Chicago is the #1 contributor to the SAF? That would make a great advertisement. Thanks! I just spit coffee everywhere! LOL
riversludge Posted February 7, 2012 at 08:44 PM Posted February 7, 2012 at 08:44 PM Way I see it, they just paid us off to ignore the law...
Drylok Posted February 7, 2012 at 08:52 PM Posted February 7, 2012 at 08:52 PM Are the tax payers of Chicago tired of their money being spent in litigation fees yet? Well how about now that they have to pay our part too?
Sigma Posted February 7, 2012 at 09:01 PM Posted February 7, 2012 at 09:01 PM Half a million dollars later and they still have not learned.
ishmo Posted February 7, 2012 at 09:07 PM Posted February 7, 2012 at 09:07 PM That is a sweet pic. I wonder how much if any of that sum came from our friends in Oak Park or if the taxpayers there will even be made aware of it. I think I'll let the editor of the Oak Park - River Forest Patch know about the good news with a LTE..lmao
scough Posted February 7, 2012 at 09:09 PM Posted February 7, 2012 at 09:09 PM That photo needs to get to the media!
ChiShooter Posted February 7, 2012 at 09:09 PM Posted February 7, 2012 at 09:09 PM My only regret is that Daley wasn't forced to sign it. I bet that'd stick in his craw.So true - it would have been great if he had to sign it.
riversludge Posted February 7, 2012 at 10:02 PM Posted February 7, 2012 at 10:02 PM My only regret is that Daley wasn't forced to sign it. I bet that'd stick in his craw.So true - it would have been great if he had to sign it.But here is to hope that they will learn.. But yea seeing Daley's signature on it would have been sweet.
es503IL Posted February 7, 2012 at 10:30 PM Posted February 7, 2012 at 10:30 PM Ultimately, its not coming out of Daley's of Emanuel's pocket. It should be signed "The People of Chicago" since they are the ones who are actually footing the bill. If it was drawn on Daley's or Emanuel's personal checking account I would be much happier. Until politicians are held personally accountable for their actions (to include directed actions) that are ruled to be Unconstitutional, a judgement means virtually nothing. It does not hurt the official who is at fault one bit. Besides, if it did actually hurt the city finacially, guess what the City's response is? Yup, thats right, the old stand by of "raise taxes".
dmefford Posted February 7, 2012 at 10:47 PM Posted February 7, 2012 at 10:47 PM For once I am actually getting that warm fuzzy feeling... Just seeing dear ole Rahm's name on that check! Regards, Drd
Lou Posted February 8, 2012 at 12:09 AM Posted February 8, 2012 at 12:09 AM I can just see this as a sign to carry next month at IGOLD. MARKTHESIGNGUY - are you listening?
1911 Posted February 8, 2012 at 01:53 AM Posted February 8, 2012 at 01:53 AM I'm thinking parade banner!!
sctman800 Posted February 8, 2012 at 08:26 AM Posted February 8, 2012 at 08:26 AM I just noticed Second City Cop has this picture posted also. If you check it out the language is adult rated. Jim.
Jeff Johnson Posted February 8, 2012 at 02:22 PM Posted February 8, 2012 at 02:22 PM I hope that the taxpayors ultimately funding this payout express their outrage at the actions of the city and its leaders. Some letters to editors, etc might be in order. Just thinking...some Chicago folks that don't give a rat's backside either way on guns might be influenced by the financial aspects.
SCARLETfrost Posted February 8, 2012 at 03:34 PM Posted February 8, 2012 at 03:34 PM I'm thinking parade banner!! Bigger - think bigger. 14'x48' billboard would be perfect.
Lou Posted February 8, 2012 at 03:37 PM Posted February 8, 2012 at 03:37 PM I just noticed Second City Cop has this picture posted also. If you check it out the language is adult rated. Jim. Gee - ya think someone tipped him off???
ming Posted February 8, 2012 at 08:06 PM Posted February 8, 2012 at 08:06 PM Just curious, is it actually the city that ends up paying this tab, or does an insurer indemnify the city for its loss? If so I'd like to see what the premium is.
TFC Posted February 9, 2012 at 04:13 AM Posted February 9, 2012 at 04:13 AM Like I said on FB. That's about 4 fully equipped fire engines. Good Choice, Chicago.
lieut89 Posted February 9, 2012 at 12:56 PM Posted February 9, 2012 at 12:56 PM Like I said on FB. That's about 4 fully equipped fire engines. Good Choice, Chicago. More like one fully equipped fire engine and some change, but still.
BadWaterBill Posted February 10, 2012 at 04:00 PM Posted February 10, 2012 at 04:00 PM IIRC the total bill for Chicago came to $1,600,000.00. Now if we could get copies of the checks to NRA & ISRA and a thank you note for your generous donation from all 3 on BIG signs that the media can display would be great. THANK YOU MAYOR RHOM EMANUAL FOR YOUR DONATION OF $399,950.00 TO HELP PROTECT OUR 2A RIGHTSsigned Allan Gottlieb SAF How about shirts printed that way.
