| Obama supporters celebrate in style |
| 2008-11-10 |
| And so it begins... At least five people were arrested across the city after Barack Obama's rally in Grant Park, including a woman who slapped a Chicago police officer, saying police couldn't arrest her anymore, prosecutors said today. ...and she get's her gas and mortgage for free too, honky pig. Celita Hart, 19, stood silently in court today when she appeared for a bond hearing. Prosecutors said Hart, who is black, yelled " 'White [expletive], [expletive] McCain--you white police can't do nothing anymore.'" With that, she reached through the window of a squad car and slapped a white male officer in the face, according to Assistant State's Atty. Lorraine Scaduto. Testing her theory, no doubt... The incident occurred after police responded to a crowd of people celebrating Obama's win on the corner of 69th Street and Western Avenue. Hart, of the 7100 block of South Rockwell Street, was charged with aggravated battery of a police officer and was ordered her held in lieu of $10,000 bail. I wonder if she thinks Barry's gonna bail her out? ...and gun sex comes to Chicago. Most of the others celebrated the historic occasion with gunfire. Others who appeared before Circuit Judge Israel Desierto included Andre Murph, 37, of Aurora, who was arrested after police saw him shooting a handgun into the ground on the Southwest Side. Scaduto said he told the officers he was "shooting to celebrate Obama as president." Guess he didn't have any fireworks. They're illegal you know... Narada Thomas, 23, of the 1200 North Central Avenue, allegedly gave a similar explanation after he was arrested with a handgun near his home. "He said he had the gun because he wanted to celebrate Obama becoming the first black president," Scaduto said. In wonder what his excuse was the night before? Had to procure the liquor for the celebration ... Kenneth Smith, 24, of the 6700 block of South Ada Street, was arrested after he allegedly fired a handgun outside his home. Smith, who is on parole for a previous weapons conviction, told authorities that "the police only arrested him because a black man won for president," Scaduto said. Well, they gotta hurry up. They only got until January 20th to oppress you. Robert Morgan, 54, of the 5700 South Lowe Avenue, appeared to have simply been caught up in the excitement. When officers arrested him for allegedly firing a handgun into the air from his back porch, "He told the officers, 'Everyone else is shooting off their guns--I figured, why not?'" Scaduto said. Sure, why not? Them bullets'll just go into orbit... |

| #6 I'm sure they were all just hoping to be part of that change that's coming, and wanted to be good citizens by taking their guns to the drop off points and disposing of excess ammo. |

| #1 Guns are easier for a person to find and purchase in Chicago than fireworks (at least the 'good stuff'). The local 'nanny state' has determined that even sparklers might hurt you and therefor should be regulated. Incidentally, this celebratory use of firearms may put fuel into Mayor Daley's efforts to ban all guns in Chicago (at least for the law-abiding few). |
