Married attorneys found stabbed to death ritzy Chicago subur

As an adult in the 60's I was familiar with Oak Park as being a mid-upscale community, and also witnessed the decline of the Chicago Austin neighborhood during the mid-late 60's and into the late 70's, becoming what exists today; one of Chicago's most violent and high crime areas. No doubt in my mind that the couple were killed by members of their eastern border Chicago neighbors, and equally certain that they were killed for their physical possessions and not their politics.

Worked the south side 2nd District when yearly murder rates surpassed 800's and 900's and my tiny district would regularly win the ghoul pool for total numbers, as well as first and last of the year. I am no fan of the people I policed. I am also no fan of the politics embraced by the murdered couple, nor the fact that, he, in particular, was instrumental in four of Chicago's finest being fired. I understand the irony but in no way condone the savagery of their murders by the hands of whom I fought against for so many years.

I am proud of the NYPD officers, and those of other jurisdictions, who have not shamed our profession by this outpouring of ugliness towards the murders of two humans whose politics, though not ours, do not rise to the level that they deserved to be slaughtered like animals/by animals.

This thread has no soul.

Rant out.
