Head Of Chicago Anti-Violence Group Arrested For Allegedly Hitting Wife
Domestic abuse? Tsk, tsk. Turns out he got busted in '99 for the same thing. Apparently, learning doesn't come naturally to him. But then, he's a Democratic.
Gaming the system, however, does come naturally to him; it's how he makes a living:
Hardiman’s Cease Fire organization works to intervene between rival gang members to prevent gun violence in the city’s most dangerous neighborhoods.
The group receives state funding to conduct its work, according to Hardiman’s bio on the Cease Fire website. It also received a $1 million grant from the City of Chicago last year.
In his defense, he doesn't use guns on his girlfriends or wife, he uses only his manly fists. He's a Hardi-man.
