Police are saying it may have been an attempted robbery, but as the article notes that seems like a stretch (though you never know).
Anyway, the Chicago of today seems to be getting more and more like the Chicago of the prohibition era, 'cept with less whiskey.
Alison Rogers stood in her gangway and talked to me about what woke her up just before 5 a.m. the other day.
It was the sound of Cook County Judge Raymond Myles being shot to death near his garage across the street.
"I'm having a hard time believing they'd kill a judge," Rogers said. "I mean, we weren't close friends. But he was a neighbor. I'd see him and wave, and I'd say, 'Hi, Mr. Judge,' and he'd wave back. I just respected him, that's all. He was a judge. And they shot him. They shot a judge."
They shot a judge.
