Transient Wanted for Harrassing Cook County Commissioner Sims

From the Southtown Star:
A 55-year-old man is being sought for leaving Cook County Commissioner Deborah Sims two threatening voicemail messages a day after she cast a controversial vote in September.
 He apparently left two 'vulgar' and "racist' comments on her voicemail.  The article talks about only one of them.
"I'm very disappointed in your vote. You flip-flopped, actually lied, and I hope you get ... AIDS and die," Stroh says in one message, police said.
But that's enough to get you charged with a hate crime, I guess.


To engage in that kind of racial comments and threats, I think that's inappropriate, it's wrong and I condemn it in the strongest possible terms," Peraica said.
