CHICAGO: Thirty Gay Pride Floats Discoverd With Slashed Tires

The management of a company that provides floats to Chicago Pride arrived this morning to find dozens of slashed tires.

Chuck Huser, owner of long-time Pride float provider Assocated Attractions at 4834 S. Halsted on Chicago's South Side, said the floats were fine when he left 8 p.m. Saturday night, but when he returned 5 a.m. Sunday to start preparation for drivers to depart, he found two tires punctured each on more than 30 floats. "This is catastrophic," he told Windy City Times at 8 a.m. June 26. "This has never happened before, and we have been doing this since 1989." The attackers broken in but did no other damage to the floats, and they took nothing else, leaving Huser to believe this had to be a hate crime. No notes were left. Huser has filed a police report, but his main focus the morning of the Pride Parade was finding an open tire shop, where they were running back and forth to repair the tires.

1. They need to find the location of every security camera within five blocks of the crime scene,

and get a hold of those images. Bet they'll find pictures of the guilty parties.

I'm guessing the crime victim will be investing in security cameras pretty soon.

3. Typical repig reaction. They act like spoiled, venomous brats when they can't get their way.

They are the lowest of the low. Cowards, ignorant bullies, and bigots.

4. Exactly! Same old Shit. They will do anything to anyone / any group to deny civil liberties. These

people never grow up and never go away. We've seen it all before over the decades. Same type of asses/bigots, different group of people as targets.

7. They slashed tires of Freedom Riders as well, back in the 60's

like you said, same assholes, different tergets

6. The very antithesis of 'civilized'.

I wish there were a civilized way to expunge them from society.

5. In Texas, this happened to me twice for having an Obama sticker

I can only imagine what a Gay Marriage sticker would bring.
