Number one with a bullet on the list of Stupid Things Uttered in 2009:

Many residents of Grand Beach -- including those who commute from Chicago for weekend and summer stays -- said they weren't scared. They continued to keep their doors unlocked and taking walks up and down the quiet streets. Many residents use golf carts to get around.

"If anything happens, the police are here," said a neighbor approaching 80 who lives across the street from where the Chicago police officer captured one of the three escapees.

She suggested the remaining two men on the run wouldn't come out during the day anyway and likely would find a boat nearby and cruise away.

An escaped convicted murderer and a convicted rapist are running around in your neck of the woods and you continue to keep your doors unlocked?

Somebody hand me a cluebat, will you?

More on the Burr Oak cemetery scandal here. Honestly, I think there are very few black families in Chicago that aren't affected by this, including my own office receptionist's.

(Oddly, she has no use for Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton, and was heard muttering something about money-grubbing attention whores...)
