Mary Mitchell Does it Again
Once again, reading her column so YOU don't have to.
Does this woman even read the tripe that she types? Do her editors? Can someone tell us where the hell she came from, because no one this ignorant of Chicago politics could possibly be local. Get a load of her Wednesday column (just a couple quotes - we don't want readers to hurt themselves):
Does this woman even read the tripe that she types? Do her editors? Can someone tell us where the hell she came from, because no one this ignorant of Chicago politics could possibly be local. Get a load of her Wednesday column (just a couple quotes - we don't want readers to hurt themselves):
- I used to wonder how Stroger got so far in the world of politics. (do a little research Mary, it's an interesting story)
- He's old school because he learned from the best of the old-school politicians: Congressmen William L. Dawson, Ralph Metcalfe and Mayor Harold Washington. (and do you have any idea what those names have in common?)
Stroger came up north with nothing, and he joined the Machine. And the Machine is loyal to it's people, more so it's old timers than anyone else. Stroger is such an insider, he actually DIDN'T support Harold Washington. He didn't support current media darling Obama either. He has backed the Daley administration for years over his own community and yet, Mitchell holds him up as some paragon of black political might.
Saying he learned from William Dawson? Good Lord is this woman ignorant. Dawson rose to power running the "policy wheel" for the Mafia in the Chicago ghetto. For Mary's benefit and anyone else who doesn't know, the "policy wheel" was a numbers racket that the poor communities (mostly black at the time) would bet money on. Illegal, but a HUGE source of revenue for the Mafia and in turn, the Machine. Dawson ran three wards and actually hamstrung and brought down Mayor Kennelly (who had ordered police raids on black "policy wheel" operators), thereby setting the stage for old man Daley to take the reins of the Machine 4 years later. Dawson blatantly and openly bought votes with money, alcohol and live poultry. Alderman Benjamin Lewis, who opposed Daley, Dawson and the "policy wheel" operators was found handcuffed and shot in the head in 1963 - draw your own conclusions.
Stroger's public service is a textbook example of how to get ahead in an existing political structure - suck up to the people who have power and maybe you can name a building after yourself. He would do well to avoid such comparisons as Mitchell makes in her column. Here's a hint Mary - read "BOSS" by Mike Royko. Everyone who attempts to write about Chicago politics ought to memorize it. And then maybe you wouldn't come off as so ignorant of history.

First...woo hoo!!!!
Any truth to a new Lt's list coming out tomorrow?....If so, can anyone post it?
Mary Mitchell...what a joke!!! Why does anybody care what she prints? It's obvious she's an ignorant human being.
well, it provides a comic foil for our rantings.
Ignorant is not the word. Why don't you play Ghettopoly at the Ghetto prom. Keepin in real yo!!!
Keep on buying the rims you fucking dumbasses.
Kansas just became the 39th state to allow citizens to have concealed carry of firearms. The legislature of the state overrode the veto of the DEMOCRATIC governor of Kansas.
The first amendment is protected by the second amendment. Never give up your rights. Don't drink the MSM/liberal kool-aid.

mary mitchell has proven once again that she is a complete moron....Stroger is just one of Daley's whips and really wields no power at all....he named a hospital after himself where people die after checking in wiff de flu
I have to admit I killed Siretha White. My ancestors should have never immigrated to the United States to WORK for a better life unlike some others who feel it should be handed to them. Im so sorry--here are my reperations.
Thank you for posting that, SCC.
I used it in my cat's litterbox. Only she refused to use the litterbox because it was already full of crap.
Thank you telling it the way it is, my man.
In the words of Mary Mitchell, the two Englewood angels were murdered by "hooligans".
I love to tell this quote to people.
Copper: "Why do you spend so much money on your car and not a house?"
Shithead: "I can live in a car, but I can'st drive a house."
Classic!!!
Not every racist has white skin and wears sheets and a hood
Miss Mitchell has her haed up her ass and the glue is drying
stroger is said to be brain dead
Anyone know the actual amount we paid in union dues in 2005? I'm sure it isn't the amount the fop reported.
If Stroger wasn't completely FUBAR right now, don't you think we may have heard at least an audio press release, if not a small, televised news conference after his win and all the controversey? His son ( of course, an alderman!!! ) seemed extremely evasive to me when I saw his interview after Claypool conceeded.
I suppose any reporter who tried to follow that story would be crucified...it's a shame. Political correctness to the insane extreme!
Patrolman for life.
Yeah I agree, he's probably on life support, and his kid doesn't wanna tell anyone so they can set up some kinda politicle agenda.
The guy is in his 70's, and had a stroke. He is probably sedated to keep his blood pressure under control to keep another stroke from reacurring, which in usually common in elder stroke patients.
There are also so many medical factor's to the "Stroke condition"
that he is more than likely going under severe arterial examinations,and probes.
His son "who appeared to be evasive" probably was more worried about his FATHER, than having to deal with the media, and it's hoopla. I'm pretty sure his so is more sick to death about losing his dad, than the election.
the media doesn't worry about crucifiction, hell look at Mary Mitchell!
Stop being so presumptuous, and post a fact.
"patrolman for life"
Conspiracies are pretty good on the history channel, hell in a few year's there might even be a show on Stroger faking the stroke, and living with Jim Morrison in France.
I'm pretty sure you hate the French too...RIGHT?
"patrolman For Life" your deep investigation's (Our department call's it verification) are about as deep as Mary Mitchell's. They're presumptious, opinionated, and lack scope beyond an opinion without facts. You say you have 20 year's on, and are a patrolman, please explain why.
I voted for Stroger every time before, but not this time. This time I couldn't take the bullshit anymore. Besides, he had a huge stroke and he's 76 years old. Time to retire Mr. President.
Mary Mitchell is an apologist for anything bad about black people. I think the Sun-Times keeps her there just to stir up the pot, nothing more.
Mary is no better than a KKK member. I'll give her credit for talking trash and signing her name to it though, it's more than the white sheet hooded thugs would do.
In the words of Mary Mitchell, the two Englewood angels were murdered by "hooligans".
Are those rowdy soccer fans migrating to Englewood? Damn! Apparently Mary has seen a trend I haven't. Next thing you know the shitbirds will be eating fish and chips at their local English pub!
LET'S SEE, 2 GIRLS GET SHOT AND KILLED IN ENGLEWOOD. THESE 2 GIRLS FAMILIES ARE ALL GANG BANGING. WHY IS THIS A SHOCK?
NO ONE SHOULD BE SUPRISED AT ALL. IF YOU GROW UP WITH YOUR FAMILY BEING GANG BANGERS THIS IS THE RESULT. NO ONE WILL CALL IT LIKE IT IS, GANGS KILLING GANGS. THESE 2 GIRLS WOULD HAVE PROBABLY ENDED UP BEING PUNCH BOARDS FOR THE NATION. URBAN RENEWAL AT IT'S FINEST.
If you think Stroger is a thief and a political hack - wait till you get a load of Tony Peraica, the republic nominee for Board President - a croation attorney who partners have mostly been indicted and are in jail. All have been disbarred, yet he manages to avoid implication. Uses several buildings he owns on the southside to hide croation illegals, money and possibly more. Because few people on this department speak croat and its pretty much a closed community with its own mafia, this guy and his henchmen have been pretty much untouchable. Stroger is just a piker by comparison.
So what, If you think May mitchell is a racist. Everyone has their own opinion. I sit next to Plenty of them ,right in my squad EVERYDAY................Stop you Whining!!!! No matter who's a gangbanger in the family,NO ONE DESERVES to die at age 11 or 14, You Dumb*** jerk.........
Those two kids were just two kids
what their families might have been involved with does not merit the endorsement of their death, the belittling of their lives if some one in a family is an alcoholic or caught up in drugs would it be right to label the entire family alcoholic are drug addicts or maybe poster 4:48:55
have determine because these people are BLACK he/she can post such stupid shyt!!
wow.
just watching Fox news this morning. anyone else hear about this Zion police officer who was deployed to Iraq and now supposedly the Zion PD is giving him grief about having to pay the difference?
The PD also trying to cause him grief, putting him through investigations, etc because his deployment caused the dept. grief.
If my memory serves me right, Englewood is the same district that the police where shot at by a hooligan with an AK 47, they shot and killed the Hooligan, and the neighborhood was up in arms, squads where hit with rock & bottles, and the biggest agaitator

You obviously have a bone to pick with me because of my post in regards to baby coppers using dead coppers names in vain. So apparently that means that everyone else here is able to express their own opinions, and even wild speculations, except me? Too bad.
And I'm PROUD to still be a patrolman for almost 20 years! I'm damn proud to put on my uniform and do my job without bitching, whining and complaining that the world doesn't revolve around me.
I'm still a patrolman for two reasons that I can see: #1 the only promotion tests that I have ever taken are for Detective, and I've never scored high ecough to make it. I can graduate from DePaul with a 3.85 GPA, but I can't seem to score in the top 1000 no matter how many times I test for dic. Go figure. #2 I've never asked, or been asked to be merit promoted. In fact, I am very happy with just working the street. Every night I get a full tank of gas to drive around and experience life. I have few regrets, and none of them are related to this job.
Two more good books:
* American Pharaoh, by Adam Cohen and Elizabeth Taylor
* Challenging the Daley Machine, A ChicagoAlderman's Memoir, by Leon M. Despres
You want a GREAT BOOK-
"Unintended Consquences" John Ross
"Enemies- Foreign & Domestic" Matthew Bracken
And-
THE TURNER DIARIES...........Enough said!
Mary Mitchell knows the history of the people she is writing about. What she is doing is attempting to re-write history. By doing what she does some people who read her column will actually believe her. She wants to erase the past and make criminals heroes because the black community has no real heroes, just a history of whining and race baiting.
Wasn't it in Englewood that some BLACK woman stood between a down copper and a gunman protecting the copper from further harm and or death....there's good people all over, like there are assholes all over
Typical shitheadedness (I know it’s not a word grammar police). The people of Houston, Texas want all the Katrina evacuees to leave because of the spike in crime. Try and help someone out and they take a dump on you. It’s the shithead way of living. Here is part of the article:
Houston grows weary of Katrina evacuees: poll
HOUSTON (Reuters) - People in Houston welcomed tens of thousands of New Orleans evacuees in the days after Hurricane Katrina but now sound as if they would like to see the newcomers go home, according to a poll published on Friday.
Sentiment has turned against the evacuees partly because of an increase in violent crime that accompanied their arrival, local officials said.
Police said a spate of murders at the end of 2005 was the result of New Orleans gang wars that moved to Houston with the evacuees.
thursday's garbage was stinkier than wednesday's.
here was my favorite quote from aunt jemimah mitchell:
"And while it may be politically correct to argue that race doesn't matter, African Americans can't afford to buy into that idealistic rhetoric."
So, by that insane logic, it's only white people that are supposed to be racially indifferent, everybody else gets to push for thier own.
What a RETARD!!!

Does anyone remember who ran the "Chicken Hawk Rooster" policy wheel in Fillmore? Did the fortune catapault any current political dynastys?
11:53 What the hell are you talking about? It was in EngleHood that a black woman took the wedding ring and gun off an officer that was shot, laying unconscious in the street. Not to make it racial but the PO happened to be M2. His property was quickly recovered as stupid lived right near the scene and YES some black witness' gave her up.
OFF TOPIC ..........Now that Trotter has been appointed to cure all cancers in city government like huberman has been tell me when the following will be fixed.
1. delays in calls being given to cars on the street allowing us to actually get to something in progress or remotely close maybe.
2.Teaching these no mind fucking idiots to get proper info when taking a call.
3. having the call takers use the tools they have at their fingertips such as details to follow.......(using it the proper way)
4. having the radio operators actually care about the job they do and not just work like robots to get calls off their board.
It has been become common place for the dispatchers to assign one person cars to cars that should be 10-4 and then the 99 officers will say "I will let you know if I need the help"
These actions are endangering the safety of every officer who acts this way and it is paramount that we cease this practice.
Why are we trying to help the dispatcher when it has become very obvious they do not have our safety at the top of the prioity list.
There are exceptions to this. Those are the dispatchers who we know and respect and will work very hard for them. They also will not assign 10-99 cars to 10-4 jobs. Those kinds of radio operators are few and far between but they are down on madison st.
Daley,Trotter,Huberman and the rest of those chronies have the media and the citizens fooled with a 911 system that really DOES NOT work. and god forbid there was ever a katrina or 9/11 everyone would really know the truth.
Have you ever called 911 and wanted to give more info but was cut off by the call taker by the words "ok we will get someone out there" I am sure you have and they should have taken more onfo or even kept you on the phone longer to get and pass on info.
The 911 system is saddled with lazy underworked and overpaid people who need to start doing the right thing they make a good buck for.
To the good ones down there at oemc keep doing the fine and hard work you do because trust me it doesnt go unnoticed. You are few and far between but when you work the zone the working police out on the street can tell you have your shit together and appreciate the hard work you do.
be safe and take care
