Zorn Misses the Point

  • A one-week gap in the timeline of the Sonia Antolec story suggests that Cook County State's Attorney Anita Alvarez is more concerned with currying favor with police officers than standing by her prosecutors when they do the right thing.

    Let's review: On July 10, Antolec, a Cook County Juvenile Court prosecutor in the criminal delinquency division, met with the two victims of a "wilding" attack on the CTA Red Line in March and determined that they would be unable to identify any of the eight young women who were that day facing trial. Antolec dropped the charges and made notes to that effect in her daily report to her supervisor.

    Seven days passed. Antolec said she was then summoned by her supervisor's supervisor and told that "downtown" was unhappy with the "bad press" her decision was getting.

    Alvarez's spokeswoman Sally Daly denies that Antolec was told this. But the only "press" on the decision had been a glancing expression of indignation the day before, July 16, on Second City Cop, an anonymously written blog purporting to speak for rank-and-file Chicago police officers.
We've never purported that Eric. We speak for ourselves and we happen to be cops. We have insight into cops' thoughts by dint of our association and experience. But you keep building that straw man so you can knock him over.

We've also made no secret of our disdain for Anita. She's incompetent, a political tool, a publicity freak and her opinion is shaped by the prevailing wind of the day. This episode is a microcosm of how she runs her office. Anita wants votes and she doesn't care who votes for her. "...currying favor with cops"? Hardly. And not "standing by her prosecutors when they do the right thing"? Did you just get here in town Eric?
  • Under the headline "All wilding charges dropped," the blogger relayed "an email we got this weekend" about the disposition of the case and griped, "welcome to justice, Cook County style. Not a consequence of any sort."

    The blog mention "perhaps triggered discussion about these cases within and outside of this office," Daly said.
So now we influence the State's Attorney's office? Wow. We shall strive to use this power for the betterment of all mankind. Perhaps Anita might find it in her tiny brain to look into the countless acts of political corruption during her tenure perpetrated by the members of the Stroger, Daley, Burke, Beavers and Preckwinkle clans?

There's a bunch more nonsense and drama. It closes with this:
  • Alvarez's office has also fired back that Antolec was actively looking for another job outside the office in the months before she quit.

    This happens to be true, though she remains unemployed today. But it's relevant only in that it gave Antolec the courage to walk away and to call attention to the infamous fashion in which Alvarez not only failed to back a member of her team when a cop blogger came huffing and puffing, but also prioritized public relations and protocol over justice.

    The buck stops not with Alvarez, but with those way down in the ranks who are generally least able and willing to fight back.

Again we ask, which turnip truck did Eric Zorn fall off of? This is Chicago, Cook County, Illinois Anita isn't here to prosecute criminals. She is a political animal, plain and simple, and her main purpose is to forestall investigations of her political sponsors. She exists solely for public relations and its attendant benefits.

As for Sonia Antolec, it's too bad her new job fell through while she made a "principled stand." The economy is rough all over and the massive surplus of lawyers doesn't assist her search. But we didn't call for her resignation, we didn't demand heads roll, we didn't even know her name.  We merely pointed out that Anita's people cannot (or will not) put certain criminals behind bars or even document their criminal acts (which dovetails nicely with Preckwindle's political stance on things if you notice.) It sucks to be Antolec, but we can name almost 50 cops off the top of our heads who took a few days suspensions for minor transgressions (nothing remotely criminal) ranging from accidents to uniform infractions to forgetfulness to procedural errors they were ill-informed of and they all took their medicine without landing in the unemployment line.

Gee, Eric, I wonder why the CCSAO is thinking about re-instituting the case?

Is it possible that ASA Antolec was (and is) full of shit?

Is it possible that the on scene show-up didn't go quite the way She purported it to go, and the Officers on the scene actually did the right thing?

Is it possible that she lied to the officers involved in the case stating that "The one Victim isn't here, and the other cant do an in court identification"?

Is it possible that ASA Antolec lied to the Victims stating that "Oh the tape of the incident was destroyed." when in fact, there were MULTIPLE copies of said tape available?

Is it possible that everything she cried about to Carol Marin was complete and utter bullshit trying to embarrass the CCSAO?

Is it possible that ASA Antolec didn't do anything remotely close to the "right thing" at all?

Eric, get your head out of your ass, clean the feces from your peepers and actually LOOK at what the fuck is going on!

Fuck you, Eric Zorn.

Regardless of what YOU interpreted from the fuzzy puzzle pieces you hastily acquired and haphazardly snapped together, certain FACTS remain. Those facts conveniently and eloquently surmised here by the good folks at SCC.

What YOU believe is the impetus of this "story" is a non-issue; the meat on the bone in this story for intrepid little gossipers like yourself, Eric, is the total ineptness - dare we even say CORRUPTNESS - in Anita Alvarez's office.

Maybe it's time you put down the "121 (La Salle) Proof Kool-Aid", find your moment of clarity (and your balls) and do something that'll justify your profession. Maybe lay off the opinions for a while and do something along the lines of investigating/fact-finding...some unmolested truth. Plenty of juicy stories out there for ya, Eric. I bet your Puppetmaster Rahm would be happy to give you some facts about his plans to order an audit of the work of his former comptroller.

I understand columnists are supposed to be opinionated. But one should only opine on the FACTS surrounding the subject matter at hand. To do otherwise sacrifices credibility. You don't have to agree with anything you put in your columns, but you do a disservice to both your profession and the public when you exhibit such bias, ignorance and rush to judgement.

To refer to Eric Zorn as the biggest d-bag reporter in the city would be unfair. He is the biggest d-bag reporter in the nation. There was once a cop in 023 that was attacked by a homeless man with a metal fork, he shot the man once while under attack and the offender died. Years later another lunatic came into the desk in 023 and attempted to plant a ten inch steak knife into the chest of a cop on the phone on the civilian side of the desk with an overhead strike but luckily the cop blocked the knife from coming all the way down and shot him fatally. Zorn's comment in his column, not verbatim but google it I bet I'm close, First a man with a fork and now a knife, all Town Hall officers have to do now is kill a man wielding a spoon and they will have a full table setting.

A stint at the Academy wasn't enough to kill the anti-cop bug up his ass either. He must be related to Steinburg.

Zorn is in desperate shape these days. He knows that all the cases involving the Innocence Project at Northwestern have fallen apart and that Protess was making up cases to get offenders out. Zorn knows clearly that Anthony Porter is guilty. You haven't seen him write one article about Protess in a long time. When the truth comes out about the Porter case, and it will, Zorn will be in deep shit because Zorn never even looked at the facts of the case. He only echoed the lies of Protess.

He knows Alstory Simon is not guilty of the murders Anthony Porter committed and Zorn is too much of a coward to admit he was wrong and help get Alstory Simon out of prison.

How's that for a wrongful conviction?

So let's get this straight: some low level inexperienced ASA in juvenile, essentially a second step assignment in the CCSAO, decides on her own to dismiss charges against a group of thug like girls who terrorized two innocent passengers, a mom and her daughter on the CTA redline, while armed with box cutters, knives and a sock filled with a hefty padlock. The ASA doesn't inform the victim that she is going to drop charges, doesn't interview an eyewitness, doesn't watch all the videos available, makes up a few lies about the police claiming shotty work on their part, claims she told her supervisor and then admits she didn't, or did or didn't, and ultimately gets called to the carpet for it and then gets slap on the wrist AND THEN stomps her feet and resigns claiming, at first, that her morals compelled her to leave but then later is forced to admit she had been looking for a new job for a long time and already had a new one lined up because she didn't want to do felony review. Is that the story that Eric Zorn and his lying anti-law enforcement biased cohorts in the media are trying to peddle in a totally transparent effort to sling mud at the CCSAO and CPD? Ridiculous. Can we move on to some actual news now instead of the constant editorial disguised as news by the likes of Eric Zorn who has never seen a convicted felon he doesn't want to free back out into society or a police officer he doesn't want to portray as corrupt and evil.

You can't blame SCC for doing anything wrong here. Raising awareness to this case was actually commendable.

However, it's also unfair to blame the ASA. She doesn't appear to be "full of shit", she was just doing the right thing in her position and appeared to have followed proper protocol.

From what I can see, the single mother/ASA had NOTHING to gain from this ordeal - she lost her mediocre-paying job, remains unemployed, and has received a ton of bad (and some good) press. Lots of these ASAs believe in the cause, justice, etc.

If anything, we should be mad at Anita.

With the lies and disinformation of their damn "politically correct" censorship, compounded by the awesome power of the Internet, is it any wonder that mainstream print media is into it's death rattle? Their exponentially declining circulation will inevitably cause bankruptcy. Good riddance.


My biggest media pet peeves, not necessarily in order:

(1) No investigative exposes into the most politically corrupt politicians in the nation. "Vigilant watchdogs in the public interest?" BULLSHIT! Richard M. Daley and his ilk should have been rotting in a cell in Terre Haute over 20 years ago.

(2) No editorial advocacy for term limits and a voter recall referendum initiative. Local newspapers are in bed with the politician scoundrels and the likes of race-baiting demagogues Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton. Without the enabling media, it would be "Reverend Who?"

(3) When the media "describes" the unidentified perpetrators of violent crimes (even in detail), they invariably omit the race unless the scum is Caucasian. If they don't indicate race, take it to the bank: The perps are black.

(4) The pandering use of the seven-syllable "Af/ri/can-A/mer/i/can" despite the fact that the monosyllable "black" is a perfectly respectful descriptor. Since both are Caucasian naturalized U.S. citizens, actress Charlize Theron and musician Dave Matthews could be accurately described as "African-American".

Electronic mainstream media get no pass here either.

Whenever he was around WGN radio he usually had words with Milt Rosenberg. Typically Milt would let him have it for being such a liberal twerp. Supposedly Zorn then complained about the crazy old right wing Milt. Rosenberg has a much superior intellect that Zorn, no way could Eric Zorn even begin to debate Milt Rosenberg. He is not equipped.

I wish they would bring Milt Rosenberg back. Zorn is a moron. He needs a homeless piss bum to come up and try to plant a knife or fork in his chest and then be asked if he wants a cop to be called.

For liberals like zorn, to write the truth is to admit that Johnson's great society isn't so great. After decades of throwing money, housing, education reforms, hiring set-asides, etc, the black community is as lost as ever.
The actions of the eight offenders show this. These criminal acts aren't aberrations, they occur daily.

Nothing will change in the black community as long as the liberal media types provide the excuse that outside forces are solely responsible for the status quo in the black community.

Anytime this "insignificant blog" can get more notoriety in the media the better. In hopes of getting the citizens aware of the many examples of civil and political disobedience that is often overlooked by the general public.
As for Preckinwrinkles as well as Alvarez & Dart, and their disdain for the county jail filled primarily with minorities, is has long been the Cook County States Atty Office to interview law graduates that apply for ASA positions regarding their personal views of who gets prosecuted and what sentence they would recommend to the Court.
The iPhone muggers in question, they were examples of what CC expects for their yearling counselors.
The heat didn't come from Second City. Perhaps it was the Mich Ave Merchants Assn or some other anonymous former political entity that frequents the area.
Hey Zorn, Jay Carney would say "that was a long time ago" and move on. How about a story on Ahmad the City Comptroller and how he did just about the same thing as Patrick Daley Jr & R.Vanecko and their secret ownerships & investments? Ahmad gets indicted, Cardinal Growth LLC gets seized, and the Daley Kin...taking it easy and living the good life.

a. I thought one of those kids is white, he sure looks half at least. b. Any cop knows that there is a difference between planning to kill a white person for fun and planning to kill someone for fun and he happens to white. c. We (black people) grew up with stories of what has happened to our relatives and family friends. As horrific as murder is, and racially influenced murder, this idea of blacks killing whites because they are white is nowehere near as frequent, widespread, or longstanding as the reverse...so stop crying with outrage all of a sudden. I'm outraged over the fact that any human would take another's life. If that's not enough for you, Jesse, Al or whoever else you want to name, I think ALL of you are off.

Zorn is a buck-toothed mental deficient who's not only an enthusiastic leftist but one willing to say anything to propagate the myths of oppression by race and class to satisfy the emotional needs of the cretinous readership of the Fibune.

All you have to know about him is his tireless effort to martyrize Girvies Davis, a POS who was convicted and executed for the murder of Charles Biebel, an 89 year-old man who was confined to a wheelchair. Biebel was shot twice while inside his trailer. The m.o. of Davis and his co-POS was to find old farm couples in rural southern Illinois, burglarize their houses, steal pawnable possessions and murder them. By his own admission, Zorn wrote more than 10 columns about Davis and continues to use him as a prop every time a state other than Illinois now executes its own murderous POS. Practically a hero, this Davis. If not a saint.

What Zorn never talks much about, though, is that Davis had already been convicted of several other murders prior to the Biebel murder and was actually in custody on one of those murders when he confessed to the Biebel killing. And did I mention the separate attempt murder? Don't take my word for it, here's the 7th Circuit: http://www.leagle.com/decision/1994114713F3d1134_1970
Any kind words for Mr. Biebel, Zorn?

Zorn's left-wing myths and Lives of His Saints are reason enough not to read the Fibune. Does it even contain news anymore? The Sunday paper is just page after page of cheesy, sentimental stories that curiously have a way of instructing us on the wrongness of our evil rich white man ways. Last Sunday it was about the chubby lesbian nurse who befriended a paralyzed young man who used to be a jock. The story had to mention that she was a lesbian lest we miss the message: the oppressed (lesbian) can bond with an oppressor (white male) in the face of tragedy. And people pay money to be patronized like this? After the joke posts and bullshit, blogs give people more news than the Libune. That's why Zorn is pissed at SCC. He hates the anonymity because it encourages sources to share their info without fear of retribution or censorship by editors biased against truth or point of view. The Fib went to a hyper-controlled policy forcing commenters to use Facebook for that very reason – too many non-leftists were leaving comments, and well, a leftist newspaper couldn't actually host a free and open discussion, could it?

Keep bringing us news and speaking the truth, SCC. Zorn? He ALWAYS misses the point.

from a troll: I hear Zorn on various news radio programs and I have to confess it seems he is the exact same kind of useful idiot Anita is. Anita gets her power from the party and the Democratic faithful. What makes Zorn worse is he is merely a tool for the party.
When he is on these radio panels he really does not offer any insight or demonstrate critical thinking. Its a treat when Eric and Lynn Sweet are on together. Two bumbling idiots who think they know what they are talking about. Hey Eric, next time you are on, get a tape and listen to it. Really dude, do you think you are bright and insightful?

I hear that the FEDS are investigating at least two Police Board cases involving misconduct by the CCSAO.

Let's hope that Anita and the corruption crew go down.

Gee, Eric, I wonder why the CCSAO is thinking about re-instituting the case?

Is it possible that ASA Antolec was (and is) full of shit?

Is it possible that the on scene show-up didn't go quite the way She purported it to go, and the Officers on the scene actually did the right thing?

Is it possible that she lied to the officers involved in the case stating that "The one Victim isn't here, and the other cant do an in court identification"?

Is it possible that ASA Antolec lied to the Victims stating that "Oh the tape of the incident was destroyed." when in fact, there were MULTIPLE copies of said tape available?

Is it possible that everything she cried about to Carol Marin was complete and utter bullshit trying to embarrass the CCSAO?

Is it possible that ASA Antolec didn't do anything remotely close to the "right thing" at all?

Eric, get your head out of your ass, clean the feces from your peepers and actually LOOK at what the fuck is going on!

If any coppers are being trick bagged it is time to go to the G and retain an attorney.

Zorn is dumber than a rock. That is why he an only get a small role at a bankrupt newspaper. This blog has a bigger audience than the trib and also does more true investigative journalism.

Liberalism is a disease and very similar to alcoholism. Left untreated, both diseases will eventually eat up your mind. The result is an Eric Zorn column.

To refer to Eric Zorn as the biggest d-bag reporter in the city would be unfair. He is the biggest d-bag reporter in the nation. There was once a cop in 023 that was attacked by a homeless man with a metal fork, he shot the man once while under attack and the offender died. Years later another lunatic came into the desk in 023 and attempted to plant a ten inch steak knife into the chest of a cop on the phone on the civilian side of the desk with an overhead strike but luckily the cop blocked the knife from coming all the way down and shot him fatally. Zorn's comment in his column, not verbatim but google it I bet I'm close, First a man with a fork and now a knife, all Town Hall officers have to do now is kill a man wielding a spoon and they will have a full table setting.

A stint at the Academy wasn't enough to kill the anti-cop bug up his ass either. He must be related to Steinburg.

I think the spelling sgt in 017 got the guy with a spoon in 015. I think we re looking for one now with a napkin or salad bowl or dinner plate. Maybe a waiter from a restaurant holding the whole place setting and a bread basket.

Young Jimmie Olsen was more of a "journalist" than Eric Zorn.

Once I figured out that Zorn and Mary Schmich were just passing a spliff back and forth before committing their harebrained columns to print, I just stopped reading the Trib. Now when I hear about his mouth-breathing opinions raising eyebrows, I just wonder how anybody from UM even has a job.

Girvies Davis didn't do it. Boy you sure are a bunch of whining, girlie cry babies. The line about the table setting is actually pretty funny, and the kind of humor that is right up your alley, but maybe not when you are the butt of the joke.
