A Suggestion for Room Renovations at the Grandview Hotel


It's Chase Ingersoll's personal suite.

I have been receiving e-mails from Chase himself, and forwarded e-mails that Chase has sent to others. Seriously, I think the guy is losing it. Prepare the padded cell, Capt. Scully.

The following is an e-mail sent to Peoria Police Captain Scully and City leaders:

"Capt Scally:
Tell your bosses that they have until tomorrow when Mr Ghandi at the Deluxe boots them to the street to find that mother, father and four children another place to stay. If your bosses, cannot stop their New Years reveling or get over their fucking hangovers by noon. I WILL BE PUTTING THEM UP AT THE GRANDVIEW, as THE FIRST GRANDVIEW GUESTS OF THE YEAR, and you can throw my ass in jail tomorrow night. That is what the former Mr. Ghandi would do, so I cannot think of a better way to start the year.
My staff will be instructed that until they own the Grandview, those people are my guests and they will not be putting them out.
And if your bosses and their "ass kissing, federal money grubbing, whores" at the social service agencies can't find a shelter situation for these people that is better than on the wrong side of town and with a bunch of crackheads, I will be putting each and every one of them on staff when I return.
And since I know you can't say it without getting disciplined, YOU WORK FOR THE BIGGEST GOD DAMN BUNCH OF DICKLESS LOSERS!!!"
Happy New Year!
Have a set of cuffs ready, with my name on them, 40 days of fasting and praying in prison, never hurt anyone.
Am I the Villiage Idiot, or a Jedi Warrior?

Okay class, for yet another example of what, IMHO, appears to be a psychotic break, checkout this doozy of an e-mail sent to elected City leaders and members of the press. (This one was forwarded to me by six different folks, who found it both odd and yet hilarious.)

"Re: Bob Manning, District 3 Councilman: "All we did was follow through on judges order. Now it's going to be closed 90 days instead of 30 days."BR>
Councilman Bob Manning says Ingersoll promised the city he'd make improvements to the hotel.
Bob Manning: "None has been done yet."

Bob: go talk to your pops about slander, specifically, slander "per quod".
As I did with Mr. Oliver, I will give you until the end of the week to correct the record with me and anyone else to whom you made this statement that was clearly designed to divert the issue from the fact that YOU KNOW THAT WHAT YOU ALLOWED TO HAPPEN TO THESE PEOPLE WAS EVIL.
You never did go and talk to the priest or the nuns, did you?
And while you are at this, have a chat with Oliver, Ray and Ardis, about how because something is "pending litigation" it cannot be discussed on the public record at the council, but y'all seem perfectly willing to go in front of the cameras outside the Council chambers and talk all about it!
Sign me
VILLIAGE IDIOT"

Gosh, I hope Councilman Manning can find a good attorney to represent him. Hey, Bob, I've watched an entire of season of "Judge Judy" and have a little time on my hands.

Village Idiot, Jedi Warrior, or just another nut case? You decide.

For Pete's sake, can't someone get this guy committed?

Bob Manning's dad is a retired judge and lawyer of excellent reputation and his brother Jim is more capable than Chase in navigating the law for several reasons, not the least of which is that HE IS LICENSED TO PRACTICE LAW!

The longer this goes on the more clear it becomes that Chase needs help. Any lawyer, former client, person, neighborhood association, tenant, landlord or friend who has had the joy of being "Chased" has had suspicions that Chase was beyond eccentric and was at best unbalanced. His rants this summer against the city personnel and hearing officer and his actions and rants this fall and winter over the Grandview solidify those suspicions.

I'm sure that there are many people who enjoy watching you self-destruct, many with good reason to feel that way, but I don't think it's pleasant seeing that happen to anyone, including you. Even after your history of hateful and uncalled for attacks of good people and your penchant for doing the less than honorable far more often than you do the honorable thing.

Please get help.

Doesn't this guy have kids? I'm hurting for those kids.

Good Lord.

This is the most appalling public meltdown since Tom Cruise instructed Matt Lauer on the history of psychiatry.

Clearly an intervention is in order.

Hmm, you have plenty o'people to look out for the wife and kids while you are "away on business" (aka: ass locked up in the slammer), but you can't fly home for a day in order to look those people in the eye who you lied to and promised would not be made homeless, due to your superior -heh- knowledge of the law. That makes you BOTH a pussy AND a felon. By your own standards, Chase, your kids are going to have a lot to overcome.

WTF?! My Gawd. You really are planning to plead insansity or some such bogus shit, aren't you Chase?

BTW, regarding the family/employees you have living at the court ordered closed hotel -Are you paying workman's comp, payroll taxes, etc. on these "employees?" Have you done background and reference checks? The couple seems nice enough, and the kids are adorable, but WEEK TV reported that they are living off their daughter's disability benefits for autism. That and the puppy (this family has no money and they get a puppy?) kind of makes you wonder, who ARE these people? What kind of judgment do they possess? What is their history? Why are they both unemployed?

Maybe neighbors should be concerned.

Oh yeah, Chase, YOU'RE gonna get a liquor license?! I doubt City Council is going to give you one. More worthy candidates than you have applied for one at near the same location, and no go. Good luck in Springfield.... Heh. Heh.

Barra was probably thrilled to recuse himself. Had his fill of you I guess. You really believe you're going to do better before Vespa, Kouri, or Shadid? Fat chance.

It's not over 'til the Village Idiot Screams, but in the end it's just a sad, lonely lunatic, who everyone has learned to ignore, howling in the wind.

My guess is that ol Chase is likely to draw someone far less patient than he had in Judge Barra. And we can only hope the new judge put's the gavel down hard and fast so Chase can take his brilliance to the appellate court and we can all wait patiently for what would likely proove another tragic comedy, disbarred attorneys like Chase being so patiently tolerated at the appellate level and all!

Chase, those folks barely tolerate qualified, competent, licensed lawyers. What on earth makes you think they'll tolerate you?

And yeah, good luck with the liquor license. I'm betting Angela Anderson will revoke her offer to help you paint the Grand View on that one and if you think the neighbors love you now . . .
