Who thinks Subway should hire the Sandwich Guy as their spokesperson? He would certainly be superior to Jared Fogle.

Ellis rejects the DOJ's argument that plaintiffs are not protected by the First Amendment because they've "intermingled themselves with rioters."
"The unlawful activity by a few protesters does not transform a peaceful assembly into an unlawful assembly," Ellis says

"The sandwich did not impede Officer Lairmore’s duties that night,” Sandwich Guy's lawyer argues. "A footlong from Subway could not and certainly did not inflict bodily harm.”

Children loved to play with toys in #Roman times too: some 1,800 years ago, a child in Cologne was buried with a terracotta horse with a rider on wheels. It was certainly a much-loved which the child was also supposed to play with in the afterlife.

Here's a photo of the old Chicago streetcar rails under Western Ave. that have been uncovered by construction. I took this from the Brown Line platform.

Defense is now questioning Lairmore on cross-examination. They show a video still of the sandwich and wrapper on the ground, post-throw.
"Do you recognize that sandwich?" the attorney asks.
Lairmore won't confirm.
"I did not go back to collect it," he says.

Late night releases from Cook County Jail the norm. #criminaljustice
For the last five years, people being released from Cook County Jail have gotten out later and later at night.
In 2021, ~14% of people got out between 11 pm and 3 am. In 2024, ~40% of all releases took place in those wee hours.
My latest, for @chicagoreader.com

This isn’t very surprising. I have always told clients and their families to expect to be released around midnight.
.@wbez.org also ran a piece related to this phenomenon, with a bigger data set, last month:

Who are the people volunteering outside of Cook County Jail?
Volunteers offer help to those released from the jail; from water to transportation. It’s a challenge when discharges happen after midnight.
