Mayor Daley: Send gun industry lawsuit to World Court

The Chicago Sun-Times reports:

Six years after the state Supreme Court dismissed his $433 million lawsuit against the gun industry, Mayor Daley today called for a change of venue — to the World Court normally reserved for disputes between nations and crimes against humanity.

Wrapping up the sixth annual Richard J. Daley Global Cities Forum, Daley convinced more than a dozen of his counterparts from around the world to approve a resolution urging "redress against the gun industry through the courts of the world" in The Hague.

Mayor Daley campaigned for office with a known mafia figure who pushed through Chicago's gun ban. It's not everyday that the Attorney General singles out an elected politician who happens to be a high ranking made member of the mob.
