...I'd like to see Mervyn L. Jones II get his hands on whoever burglarized and ransacked his mother's home days after he buried her. Jones is the son of the late East Side U.S. Rep. Stephanie Tubbs Jones...


I don't know who that lowlife is, but police think they do. They say he is frustratingly difficult to catch...


Police say Coleman used a brick to break into the Jones residence on the morning of Sept. 24. Once inside the home, police say he made a quick inventory. They say his fingerprints are throughout the house as well as on the Chrysler that was parked in the drive. They are also on a large, flat-screen television that made it down from the second floor but not out the door...


In addition to walking off with a registered handgun and a Sony PlayStation 3, police say, the burglar made off with nearly $20,000 worth of jewelry. He then tried to steal the car...

1. could make a pretty good conspiracy theory out of this

at least that's what the voices in my head are telling me

someone breaks into a U.S. Congresswoman's house and ransacks it

what were they after?what did they get?

they bring the fall guy with them,make sure he puts his prints all over

they pay off a columnist on the local rag to instigate violence against him and even put his address in there

is he really still runnung around out there?

or do they already have him?

are they going to "find" his body and claim he was a victim of vigilante justice?

and close the case?

Nah.
