The Niglet Who Stole Christmas

Signs that we're all going to hell in 2008...

1) Global Warming
2) China
3) Children setting Santa on fire...

The other day, two boys who were dissapointed with the hood Santa's anonymous gift distribution at Evergreen Plaza (or "Everblack" as we grew up dubbing it) on Chicago's South Side, pulled his violation card. They returned to the scene with proper tools and set his black ass on fire. The aftermath...

""The fire was quickly spread up through the tree and the area became full of smoke at which point in time we had obviously to evacuate the entire mall," said Howard Reihheimer, security chief for Evergreen Plaza Shopping Center at 95th and Western. He called firefighters immediately. "Had he not had done that, we still might not be talking to you here right now; we would still be fighting a fire, or possibly worse, somebody might've been injured or killed," Evergreen Park Police Chief Michael Saunders said. By the time firefighters arrived, the entire Christmas display, including Santa's sleigh, was engulfed in flames. "Everything that's in the center square that has to do with the Christmas tree, where Santa meets the kids, was burning," Evergreen Park Fire Department Chief Ron Kleinhaus said. "

As Lupe states on The Cool, the Streets ARE on Fire... no pun intended.
