Mayor Daley the Dictator

I've seen this man periodically standing stoically in front of City Hall. At first, I thought perhaps he was a performance artist of some sort.

However, reading the comments thread to this Chicagoist post presented some possible explanations of Farhad Khoiee-Abbasi's issues.

including this letter, slipped under the door of several of his neighbors:

FBI Agent(s): Prostitution Business

Public Announcement (Saturday April 29, 2006)
1) Since October 12, 2004 - I [withholding name] filed for divorce (04 D 10691) in the Chrcuit Court of Cook County, my “Right to Privacy” has been violated, and
2) Since February 13, 2006 - my attorney [withholding name] announced to “Withdraw from Attorney of Record,” my “Right to Legal Representation Under the Law” has been violated, too.

Mr. Chris Saviano, FBI Agent
My two (2) rights described above have been violated by FBI agent, Mr. Chris Saviano as following:

a) By taking advantage of “minor child-custody” issue in our proceeding divorce case, Mr. Chris Saviano has been using my wife, [name withheld] as the “Sex Slave” running “Prostitution Business”, and also
b) Mr. Chris Saviano has misused his power and influence - as FBI agent - to over control our divorce Court.

As a result of (a) and (b), all the “Court Orders” have been entered in the Chamber of Honorable Judge Carole Bellows instead of “Public Fair Trial” except 10.20.2005 and 1.11.2006

Due to life-and-death situation of my family, including my wife, disabled-daughter, and myself, last week (4,24-27,2006), I went to Washington D.C. to bring it to attention of the authorities. However, Mr. Chris Saviano's gang members stopped me to access to White House, Senators, Members of Congress, Dept. of Justice, even “FBI Washington Field Office” -duty agent at 601 Fourth St./NW, Washington D.C. 20035. Fortunately, I gave a copy of this paper to Congressman Mark Green (Wisconsin) in Reagan airport.

Therefore, with this paper, I want to bring to attention of people that I “Request for Investigation” because I do not have any family member or close friend in the USA.

another commenter writes:

this situation is not a curiosity, a tourist attraction, or entertainment. this situation is the definition of a tragedy, a man who loved his daughter so much that he came to a foreign country so she would not be discriminated against for having a disability. he then descended into pool of paranoia and later broke from reality, losing his engineering job, casting off his friends and refusing to speak to coworkers, and dragging the name of a superior's relative through the mud in the process. farhad needs help and if anyone can convince him to get help, this will all be over.

In a better world, Mr. Khoiee-Abbasi's (what seems to be) mental illness would be treated (kindly)by the government. Instead, he stands day after day, stewing.
