Yet doesn't that support the 'near-by elementary school' defense?

Even in age old Chicago, even in 100 yr old residential areas, it has a school near by.
My point isn't that the claim of a "near-by elementary school" is not supported, I have no doubt there was a school nearby. It would also have been true to say it was near a church. Or near a bar, that would also no doubt be true. The cougar wasn't issue enough? Why do they need to push the fear?
"JUST IMAGINE FOLKS! THIS VICIOUS CAT WAS TWO STEPS AWAY FROM CLAWING IT'S WAY THROUGH A KINDERGARDEN CLASS, MAYBE YOUR CHILD'S KINDERGARDEN CLASS!!!"
Hold the extra fear please.
This would be an issue for me even if they didn't kill the cat. Why can't they please stop pushing the fear? You should have heard the morons on local news the day after that coyote was captured last year, listing all the things a Chicagoan should do to protect themselves if they should come face to face with a coyote... as if this happened more than once in the last 100 years and people were being taken off the streets all the time by wild creatures.
I just can't stand how stupid they get with pushing the fear. After all the Bush years of getting fear rammed down our throats, using it as a tool to get everything he wants, I have no tolerance left for any kind of trumped up fear mongering.
