I don't know what to say.

Was there an altercation before the victim got beat? I know the blood alcohol level was above the legal driving limits. What does that have to do with it. There is more to the story. I will reserve opining for after I get the details if I ever will.

There is definitely more to the story. The victim had a BAC over 5 times the legal limit at 1pm, and the bag stolen had clothing.

Who knows.

Maybe another gutter punk got beaten.

I never understand why news articles mention someone as over the legal driving limit in regards to BAC when they aren't driving.

It's a way of saying someone is hammered without coming out and saying it, a euphemism. I suppose whether or not someone was loaded when they got a whipping has some bearing on the story.

I see.

I noticed when some are intoxicated they do run off at the mouth. I've seen it happen all the time.

I would like to purpose that we make Chicago dry. We will see how well the city functions.

To see how far it gets. Chicago is a big drinking town. It will probably go about as far as my proposal to move the Cubs to Nashville.
