Kass Article

Shaved covered this Sunday, so we're playing catch up. But Kass writes another great one:

• Just two weeks before young Chicago Police Officer Alex Valadez was shot down on the edge of a vacant South Side lot, his alleged killer, Shawn Gaston, was in court, accused of another probation violation on a felony gun charge.
  
  That's right, another probation violation.
  
  It wasn't Gaston's first alleged violation of probation. It wasn't his second. It was his third, Cook County prosecutors confirmed late last week.

Like we've said, a decent reporter can make a living just writing stories outlining the outrageous crap that Chicago, Cook County and Illinois politicos get into day after day after day.

The real trick is getting enough voters to care enough to make some changes.
