Rahm's Son Attacked By Chicago Alderman Running For Mayor

The Chicago Sun-Times reports:

Mayoral candidate Bob Fioretti on Monday cranked up the rhetoric in Chicago’s mayoral contest, saying that Mayor Rahm Emanuel “failed us again” by not filing any charges in the assault on the mayor’s own teenage son.

“It sends the wrong signal,” Fioretti said, comparing the mayor’s actions in the robbery case to the general problem of community members afraid to give police information to help solve crimes.

Fioretti made the comments following his appearance before the City Club of Chicago, where he read from prepared remarks about his vision for the city.

In a question and answer session with reporters, however, Fioretti let loose on the mayor, bringing Emanuel’s 17-year-old son into the picture when talking about Chicago crime. Fioretti accused Emanuel of not pursuing charges against the suspects in the December attack, which happened on Emanuel’s block.
