Looks like the Soviet didn’t wake up Dave Hardin, so the usual crime stories haven’t come up yet. Much of this is local, so please bear with me.<\/p>\n
From the Bannockburn PD: A Wisconsin man was charged with aggravated felony misuse of a weapon by the Bannockburn, IL, police.<\/p>\n

Blackwell, 24, of Milwaukee, was originally arrested July 22, according to a Bannockburn Police report.<\/p>\n Police and the Deerfield<\/a> Bannockburn Fire Protection District were sent to a gas station at the southeast corner of Waukegan<\/a> and Half Day roads to investigate smoke coming from a vehicle, according to the report.<\/p>\n During their investigation, police learned the car was stolen, according to the report. An officer safety alert was issued because Blackwell is affiliated with the Gangster Disciples and had a criminal history with weapons and assault offenses, police said.<\/p>\n Per the article, the Lake County State’s Attorney’s office approved his being charged with a lack of an FOID. I’m not sure that will stick, if Blackwell is a resident of Wisconsin, but imagine being a gangbanger and trying to get an FOID. Think about it for a moment. If that doesn’t make you fall down laughing, nothing will.<\/p>\n I’ve been following this since it first appeared, and I’m glad to see this individual termed “unfit” by the legal system. He and his dingbat wife kept their 10-year-old daughter locked in the basement of their home because they thought she was demonically possessed. Unfit in the state of Illinois means he has to spend time in a state-approved facility before he faces trial.<\/p>\n http:\/\/www.chicagotribune.com\/suburbs\/lake-county-news-sun\/news\/ct-lns-swopes-fitness-hearing-0822-story.html<\/a><\/p>\n In other words, she was probably a normal, energetic, bright young girl and they couldn’t deal with it.<\/p>\n And why we’re getting Chicago news from the UK is beyond me, but this story has 60 people getting shot over the weekend, 29 people getting arrested for gun violence, and CPI Police Chief saying it’s the same people doing this.<\/p>\n
