In Chicago, men of a certain unsurprising demographic dressed as parking
attendants are surrounding cars before they even exit the freeway and
demanding money to park at Comiskey Park.

In a (not-so) shocking twist, if you don’t give them the $40 they’re
demanding, they become violent.

Well done, Chicago. Even in L.A. you don't get held up on the freeway by
masked bandits like it's an 1820s stagecoach robbery or something.

Absolutely outrageous. I hadn't heard about that.

An alderman is working on an ordinamce that would allow vehicle owners
to sue unlicensed predatory towing companies, that just show up at
accidents and try to get cash from motorists. I have no idea where they
take vehicles.
