The Anarchy of Hope

Laws? We don't need no stinkin' laws!
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.
Most of the others celebrated the historic occasion with gunfire.
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.
In the mind of his most ardent supporters, that is indeed what the election of Obama means: "You white police can't do nothing anymore."

  1. I dearly hope the police officer's response was "Yes, we can!"

  2. Well I must say, Obama sure did some terrific community organizing on Chicago's South Side.

    Can't wait 'til he goes nationwide.

  3. Reported by only one TV station in Milwaukee, and never in the print-press monopoly here--there were several dozen gunshots fired on the Near North side of town just after the call was made by the networks on Tuesday night.

    Don't know if the non-reportage was because there was no verification of the event, or...
