I'm Surprised They Never Thought of this Before

After getting a "crash course" in politics during her successful Democratic campaign for Cook County state's attorney, career prosecutor Anita Alvarez said Wednesday that she's ready to start making good on campaign promises ranging from tougher gun laws to combating consumer fraud.
Because if there's one thing Cook County hasn't tried, it's "tougher gun laws."

Repeat: When someone will kill you for your shoes, random pocket change or just because they FEEL like it, laws... They may be dimly aware of laws. They just don't care.
Laws are only for US.
For now.
The pols really have NO clue how the people are feeling. None.

Ah--my good buddy Anita Alvarez.

The funny thing ("funny" in the "laugh to keep from crying" sense) is that her opponent in the Democratic primary was even worse--Larry Suffredin.

So I take it she will help pass disarmament legislation, then immediately speak out against it? That "gun control" is widely known to be ineffective makes its continued promotion--under the banner of safety--a fraud.

Or should I understand the awkward phrase "consumer fraud" to mean what it says, i.e. fraud perpetrated by consumers? (For example: securing a loan--in the presence of legally mandated disclosure--when simple math tells the borrower he has no hope of paying the entire balance.)

Watch out, people who joined a music club with the intention of only collecting the free CDs: Anita Alvarez is coming for you!
