Is "no news" good news?
When police and sheriff's deputies respond in-force to a county location, including a call-out of the Sheriff's Department SWAT vehicle, isn't that news that ought to hit the media the next day? Where is the news coverage?
Last night, Monday night, a fair number of cars and deputies (this would be 4-6) of the McHenry County Sheriff's Department responded to a County location near Cary (Ill.), along with officers of the Cary and Fox River Grove Police Departments.
Supposedly, a ranking command officer ran "hot" from his north-of-Woodstock home. That would be about 17 miles by the most direct route.
The story got to me last night as a hostage situation. While the deputies were congregating at 7-11 for their game plan, the suspect left the residence and reportedly headed for Rockford. Did he drive right by the 7-11?
Didn't anyone think to set up a perimeter immediately, in order to monitor activity at the property in the 800 block of East Main Street (Cary area)? Why didn't the first deputies to respond keep an eye on the property and be ready to capture, or at least follow, anyone leaving the property?
And why is there no news in the Northwest Herald, even online, about this?

Was the Nygren Tank deployed?
I hear 7-11 has donuts, so that was probably a distraction for the cops. Doh.
Guss normally I wouldn’t respond to your posts but I’m going to just this once. GET OF IT ALREADY. Have you noticed that people don’t post here as much as they use to? Maybe it’s because you fill this site with your half-truths and your innuendos. If you have something to say, then say it. Stop with the maybe this and maybe that crap!!!! And if you weren’t there, than don’t judge how things are done. We know you hold a grudge but don’t let that interfere with reporting fact, and not he said she said crap! Maybe they were done for a reason that you are not aware of. Also nobody owes you explanations on how things are done. Sorry you don’t like that but they don’t. Have you heard the saying “if ifs and buts were candy and nuts it would be Christmas all year long”. Well stop trying to have Christmas all year long Guss. Stick to the facts that you know and quite trying to put a spin on things, and yes you do try and put a spin on things. I bet others will agree. Not trying to cut you down I think you could do good by sticking to the facts and not speculation.
