Brave Rogers Park Blogger

Even with a massive riot tearing up Morse Avenue one of my fellow bloggers braved the rain of bricks, bottles, gun fire and saggy pants to make one of Joe Moore's minions (also known as the Chicago Police Department) look foolish on camera. Its great how everyone here in Rogers Park hates Joe Moore and spends there days and nights make him look foolish. Comments from any Joe Moore lackeys stating that with a riot going on perhaps the police officer had better things to do will be deleted.

Thanks for covering the worst riot in the history of Rogers Park and perhaps the world.

Oh, my God!. I just saw that astounding video. It's so great that we have brave men like Tom Mannis on the job protecting us. I thought I could only find blue light specials at K-Mart. But his tape is special too. It really tells us NOTHING! except that he was lucky that the cops did not haul his ass in for drunk and disorderly.

Ok Toto -- you nasty little cur. You start out saying the right things and then you quickly get sarcastic. That's why you were banned from my other blog and you just might get banned from here. Tomblogger2 (or is it Tomblogger1 -- I can't remember) used to be so out of line with implying that I had some unrequitted homosexual lust for James Ginderske and all that I had to call his campaign office to tell them to shut him up. But that was then and this is now and now we are the best of friends. So you just keep working on earning that banned status.

To be honest I was on Morse last weekend and it was me throwing bottles at traffic. I didn't mean to hit that three yearold. I guess I was just lucky that the window was open and the car had slowed down to admire the lovely mural. I do deny that I have ever looked like a gang of hispanics. Though I will say there are times that I have been mistaken for a shoe.

I once was shopping in Marshall Fields when a clerk came up to me and offered me a free squirt of perfume. I liked it so much I got another spray from 6 other clerks. That night, when I took the red line home, I got a seat for myself. I couldn't believe how generous people were. It seemed like half the riders in the train car jumped out of their seats in an effort to give me a place on the train. I think it was because I smelled real good. Ain't Chicago grand!

I do wish Mannis had me on tape. I certainly would have put on a better show than that Cop.

Officer Toto: Do you want to file a police report?

Mannis: Why of course.

Officer Toto: Do you have a state issued ID?

Mannis: What you don't think me, a middle aged white guy, is a US citizen. What do you take me for, wet back Canadian?

Officer Toto: Well only an alien from another planet would be out on Morse at this time of night.

Later...

Mannis: Yes I'm a victim, I've always been victim and I'll always be a victim. I've been a victim since I was a child and my mother weaned me from her breast. She thought I was dumb, but I knew the difference between her and a sippy cup.

Officer Toto: So you want to file a case of child endangerment?

Mannis: No, I am not a direct-child.
