the comments on that story are next level. i think a new record was set for how fast someone tied the argument back to "i'd rather deal with ____________ than chads/frat boys/yuppies in lincoln park"

I'm just wondering where was the Chicagoist Coverage of the "Chicago State University Revolt" that was crushed by the those HNC of the Daley Plantation

here's one link. we, admittedly, didn't cover it as much as places like the Trib or Chi-Town Daily News did. Most of the time it was a link in Extra, Extra

actually your coverage was equally to the tribe and the Suntimes, which is telling. The only thing you didn't include was the give us our Daley bread ministers who basically told the students to shut up and stay in thier place
