J-Fled Backtracks

  • Jody Weis, a former police superintendent who is now president of the Chicago Crime Commission that puts out a handbook on city gangs, said he initially saw the imagery on a Blackberry and didn't think it looked like a gang sign.

    But a short time later, when he blew up the picture on an iPad, he could see it much clearer and he changed his mind.

    “It’s very, very close to a gang sign,’’ Weis told the Tribune when reached by phone Tuesday night. “It’s not exactly, but it’s very close,’’ Weis said. “It’s too close to be a coincidence.’’

    Weis explained that the left and right hands shown the artwork are the same.

    “Every finger configuration is identical,’’ he said.

    Weis said he believes authorities should take a closer look at the artwork.

    “I don’t know what was in the boy’s heart, but somebody needs to find that out,’’ Weis said.

    “For a city sticker, it would spark controversy,’’ Weis said. “You don’t want that kind of controversy on a city sticker.’’

Will someone please stuff a sock in this idiot? Or at least stop waving a microphone in his face? J-Fled is a J-Failure. Stop giving him face time.

We've got it covered pretty well on this end between Shaved and ourselves. "Insignificant" blog, remember that one J-Fled, you asshat? Two blogs are flying circles around your dumbass right about now.
