[EX Q]: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity John Fritchey ? Shuftan made his comments after Commissioners John Fritchey and Luis Arroyo Jr.  both Chicago Democrats  announced they would introduce a resolution next week to put the question on the March 20 primary ballot.
After his announcement   Fritchey  made the rounds of the county boardroom at an unrelated committee meeting  asking for support.
A longtime advocate of making recreational marijuana use legal   Fritchey  pointed to the legalization and taxation of recreational marijuana in Colorado and Washington. State and local governments in Illinois could expect to bring in $500 million a year in pot taxes based on those statesâ experiences   he  said.
âItâs about unclogging a court system that is overburdened â  Fritchey  said. âIf we can take these cases out of the court system  we will be doing a tremendous service not just to the individuals but to the court system as well.â
âAlmost 90 percent of these cases get dismissed  doing nothing but leaving individuals with an arrest record â  he  added. âWe are wasting court resources. We are damaging lives. And we have the ability to do better.â
Fritchey â a former state lawmaker â also said  he  hoped a successful ballot question in Cook County would spur legislators to take a vote on a potentially thorny issue during an election year in 2018.
Sen. Heather Steans and Rep. Kelly Cassidy  both of whom like  Fritchey  live on the cityâs North Side  introduced legislation in March to allow the possession of up to 28 grams of pot  or about an ounce  and to grow five plants. Their proposals call for a tax of $50 an ounce  plus the standard state 6.25 percent sales tax. Local governments like the city and county collect their own sales taxes  so they likely also would bring in more money as a result of legalization.

[EX Q]: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Abu Abdallah ? EASTERN GHOUTA  Syria (Reuters) - His brow dripping with blood and his skin caked with brick dust   Abu Abdallah  was pulled out from under the rubble of  his  house near Damascus after  it  was blown up in an air raid.
 He  was lucky to survive the bomb that fell while  he  was having breakfast  dropped by one of the countless warplanes that emergency workers say have pounded the rebel-held Syrian enclave of Eastern Ghouta in recent days.
 His  three-year-old son was not so fortunate.
âWe were sitting around  eating â said Abu Abdallah - a sobriquet meaning â Abdallah âs fatherâ - as  he  recalled Tuesdayâs strike. âMy son wanted to use the toilet  so his mother took him. Then the missile came down.â
âI was under the rubble... and my head was bent down  I couldnât raise it â said  Abu Abdallah   who declined to give  his  full name. âI said thatâs it  this will be the end of  me .â

 Abu Abdallah  26   comes from the eastern Ghouta village of Marj al-Sultan  which the Syrian army recaptured from insurgents in late 2015.  He  had moved deeper into the enclave to the town of Saqba with  his  family to try to escape the bombing.
âNow itâs still not clear what we will do â  he  said.  His  family is staying with relatives while  he  recovers from a head injury and a back strain.
âThe (world) should have mercy on these children and women because they have nothing to do with the fighting â Abu Abdallah said. âIf they want to fight  let them go fight on the frontlines. But why are they bombing us?â
