Two stories I didn’t expect to see

  1. Former political workers sentenced for vote fraud in Chicago. The vote fraud isn’t surprising, it’s their being tried, convicted, and sentenced. Are pigs flying? Next thing you know the guys convicted will serve their sentences.
  2. “Prosecutors say two men from Chicago’s southwestern suburbs are facing hate crime charges after allegedly shouting anti-gay slurs in Arabic at a woman in a Hickory Hills restaurant and then punching and kicking her.” As above, what surprises me is the men are being charged with a hate crime, instead of the woman being charged with provoking them. The Tribune even reports the names of the accused. Weird. — 2 charged with hate crime in restaurant incident
