The 60-year-old Vietnam veteran and former Marine was arrested at his home Tuesday and charged with two counts of disorderly conduct after two village trustees complained that, during a heated meeting, Kachka pointed his finger at them while wearing a shirt with a Marine Corps insignia that said, "Don't Move. If You Run, You'll Only Die Tired."We've seen citizens arrested for this before, while elite politicians do it with impunity. Congratulations, Island Lake, IL--you've officially caught up with the UK.
Trustees allege Kachka's thumb was raised and his index finger extended, as though he were firing a gun.
"A Community of Friendly people," indeed. Yeah, your Board certainly looks all smiley. I guess knowing you can have citizens who defy you dragged off pleases a certain type of personality.
I wonder--if someone emailed a picture of a finger to plaintiffs Trustee Debbie Herrmann and Village Clerk Christine Kaczmarek if they'd try to have them arrested, too?
Why not join me in emailing them a link to this post--with the scary finger graphic--and finding out?
