They reportedly scratched him up, doused him with bleach and placed a rope around his neck while proclaim- ing, “This is MAGA country.” If you told us that a longtime alder- THE CHICAGO BLACKHAWKS: man known for wearing pinstripe ‘A DECADE-BY-DECADE HISTORY’ suits and pink ties had allegedly at- tempted to shake down a Burger King The Blackhawks, one of the NHL’s “Original Six,” have in his ward, we wouldn’t raise an been building a storied legacy since their founding in eyebrow.
