Lake County SAO Drops Charge


This morning the Lake County State's Attorney's office dropped its case against Greg Kachka, the former Marine who was charged with Disorderly Conduct for allegedly pointing his ".38 cal." finger at an Island Lake Trustee and the Island Lake Village Clerk.
Greg and the (in)famous t-shirt are pictured here. The photo is compliments of www.villageofislandlake.blogspot.com Thanks, folk!

I got acquainted with Greg shortly after he was charged and believe I bought the second t-shirt sold by the legal defense fund that was started for him. $500 was raised, including, according to the Chicago Tribune, a $50 check from someone (a soldier, I heard) in Thailand.

Where's the party, Greg?

Maybe I'll buy two more t-shirts and donate them to the Trustee and the Clerk!

Of course, this is the right action by the Lake County SAO. The only better action would have been never to take the case in the first place! They should have spanked the hands of the Trustee and the Clerk when they came in crying and whining about how afraid they were. If they were so afraid, how come it was a month before the cops arrested Greg???

I'll kick in another $20 for a t-shirt for any case Greg might mount against them for frivilous charges.

Not a surprise. This case was littered with "crap" from the beginning.

In my opinion, having been present at dozens and dozens of meetings and video tape them, this Board, particularly, one trustee was, in my opinion, retaliating against Greg; trying to use her power to intimidate and influence; scare him from coming to meetings because he was one of many who speak up and do not let her or anyone else bamboozle Island Lake anymore!
