Wonderful idea Russellville, but the petition actually goes to the McHenry County Board!
When was the last time those people actually listened to what the constituents wanted?
Not holding out a lot of hope for this.
Good on you for finding it, though.
This should be led by the sheriff’s office.
I was wondering why this county wasn’t included in those sixty-two Illinois counties.
What happened to our sheriff!!
The Chicagoization of our County indeed has been going on for at least the last decade.
Looks like the two Nigerian bros. that pimp slapped Jussie S.
Did this “trigger” you, Little Joey Blowhard ?
Too bad, deal with it.
What “crap” do you mean Russellville?
Gas stations getting robbed?
Not sure how far your memory goes back but I first remember the Clark station in Cary getting robbed when I was in high school 40 years ago.
My Dad’s grocery store got robbed in the very early 70’s, as was the Cary Bank.
It happens.
And it’s been happening.
I don’t know what “Chicagoization” is code for, but I wouldn’t worry about it.
Joe, I saw you started a “Jussie Smollet Fan Club” in CL.
How many sec. 8’ers did you sign up?
Joe, getta life or at least getta clue.
You’re diversity diatribes are sooooooooooooooooooooooooo juvenile.
