Glad I don't live in the 18th ward
ice cream truck killer, originally uploaded by unphotographable.
I had heard of this a few times, but apparently some drug dealers are sneaky. They have a very covert way of selling drugs - they disguise themselves as ice cream trucks! Well, Alderwoman Lona Lane of the 18th Ward here in Chicago has had enough. She attacked the drug dealers right at the source.
[Lane proposed] an ordinance to the City Council's Committee on License and Consumer Protection "prohibiting the sale of any ice cream, frozen confection, or frozen dessert from a vehicle operating on the public way within areas of the 18th Ward."
That's right - she wants to ban ice cream trucks. God forbid somebody should call the police when drug dealers roll into the neighborhood or something. And the City Council, which could have headed off such lunacy? They passed it without opposition. Good job, friends.
