Off-duty cop, just back from Iraq, killed on South Side :: CHICAGO SUN-TIMES :: Chicago Crime
This city has indeed become a war zone. This is the second Officer from my District down within one year. God bless you Officer Thomas Wortham IV E.O.W 19 May 10
Very sad. :(
Rest in peace.
Very sad.:(
Rest In Peace, Sir.
Rest in peace.
My Condolences, May he Rest in Peace
RIP my Brother
I'm in Chicago now. I grew up here, and am visiting family and friends. And this is exactly why I pack EVERYWHERE I go. My family doesn't understand it and I don't bother explaining it. This is all the reaffirmation I need.
Stay safe out there brothers and sisters. Especially to my cross country brothers in blue here in the COC.
RIP. At least his dad DX'D one of the assholes.
Rest easy brother
Daley's already turning this into a gun control issue :mad:
My condolences. This kind of crap saddens and angers me to no end. To have an individual serve our country, only to be cut down off duty by a bunch of thugs. I hope they catch every single one of them scumbags and put them to death. Too bad that his father wasn't able to get them all.
Please, keep doing that. I, for one, expect a LEO to be packing 24 / 7 / 365. Sleep with it if you have to. On-duty or off, it doesn't matter. The way society is these days, you just never know when you might be confronted with an instance such as this.Quote:

Also, I would think that one would never announce that they are LE and not be armed and / or have it out. He may have not had the chance to draw his weapon. I don't know if this would be the case in this instance, but it seems that there are way too many variables that could happen when the SHTF.
Protect yourselves, PLEASE. One LE death is one too many. The life you save may be your own.
Daley needs to resign and get the hell out of office. Just like his buddy, Obama. :mad:Quote:

I do the same thing whenever I'm down there visiting my sisters and their families. It's also why I normally drive instead of fly. I don't trust checking my firearm (because of Midway and O'Hare luggage workers), so I'd rather drive 6 hours.Quote:
