May 22, 2024 The Mincing Rascals 5.22.24: ShotSpotter, speed cameras, Justice Alito flag controversy
The Mincing Rascals this week are John Williams of WGN Radio, Eric Zorn, Publisher of The Picayune Sentinel, Austin Berg of the Illinois Policy Institute, Brandon Pope, host of ‘On the Block‘ on WCIU, and Cate Plys, former staff writer at the Chicago Reader and political op-ed columnist at the Sun-Times and Tribune. The Rascals kick things off talking about OpenAI being accused of copying Scarlett Johansson’s voice, and the upcoming conventions in Milwaukee and Chicago. Eric wonders if political conventions are necessary anymore. Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx hopes to adopt a new policy that wouldn’t prosecute gun cases that are tied to some minor traffic stops. Do the Rascals think this is a good idea? Chicago alders are currently debating the future of ShotSpotter in the city. What do the Rascals think of the technology and the debate going on in City Council? A man who was driving over 120 mph was charged with three felonies for a crash that killed a Glenview teenager over the weekend. Is it time to put up more speed cameras? Will that deter people from driving recklessly? An upside-down American flag, a symbol of the ‘Stop the Steal’ movement, was flown outside Supreme Court Justice Sam Alito’s home. Should Justice Alito recuse himself from January 6 cases?

Eric Zorn, Publisher of The Picayune Sentinel, joins John Williams to talk about how TV shows often get Chicago details wrong, if he believes speed cameras would help reduce reckless drivers on Illinois expressways, why some pro-Palestinian protesters are avoiding talking to the media, and an issue he has with an advice column in the Sun-Times.
