Parent of the Year

Don't know if anyone caught this little gem over the long weekend:
  • A 2-year-old boy was shot at a south suburban liquor store early Friday morning.

    The incident happened about 1:30 a.m. at Greenwood Liquors and Food, 825 E. Sibley Blvd., in Dolton.

    The toddler was injured by his biological father's gun during an exchange of gunfire with other men at the store, according to a release from Dolton police.

We don't know about all of our readers, but the first thing we think of bringing to the liquor store at 1:30 in the morning is our two-year-old boy. Can't have the son-and-heir missing out on this memory-making experience. The second thing we never forget is our gun. You never know what might pop off in the streets of Dolton and we'll be damned if we're going to get caught unarmed.

Son in one hand, gun in the other; who's going to carry the liquor? Thank god this didn't happen in Chicago. Who knows how Phleger and his ilk might have managed to blame the "polices" again for a two-year-old being on the streets at 1:30 in the morning in the middle of a running gun battle. The Olympic Committee would have been appalled.

Go to the southside liquor stores in Chicago at about 1AM. Kids with purchasers all the time.

Wow. WTF is wrong with people?

I know I shouldn't be surprised by this story, but it still bothers me. The only place a 2-yo should be at 1:30 a.m. is in his/her crib sound asleep.

Parents like that shouldn't be allowed to breed and should be forced to have instant sterlization.

Go to any liquor or link accepting store in Englewood, and you'll see kids and babies out with their ever so caring parents at 2am. Its a must to get their Kites, shit tasting beer, or what ever else.

I truly believe that children in some of these Ghetto ass shit neighborhoods are nothing more than tools. To get out of being locked up, to hide shit, and to gain more money from link. What would Obama say?

What's even more ridiculous about this story is the response of the "community." The first thing they did the next day was stage an anti-gun, anti-violence rally outside the liquor store. But wait a minute, they weren’t protesting the gun or the violence they were blaming the liquor store. WTF. Blame Kenwood liquors not the participants in the gun battle. Blame the guns not the assholes holding them. Blame the violence not the violent assholes perpetrating same – we all know it’s the fault of slavery that caused this asshole to bring the kid to the store at 2AM to get his half pint. Blame the “whitey” owners, we all know they are the ones who continue this conspiracy against the children of Dolton keeping these budding engineers and lawyers getting into MIT and Harvard.

You f--ing idiots!!!! Wake up Black America - that is before noon - and see where the blame lays. Just look in the mirror and the answer will magically appear.

Signed a current Chicago Police Officer who was born and raised right around the corner from Kenwood. In the 22 years I lived there some how or another I just can't recollect any shootings in the parking lot. Maybe because there weren't any. God Save us from this scourge upon the earth.

There was another story over the week-end that you may have missed SCC.

This again was an incident that occured on the southside, involving a certain demographic.

Essentially, dozens of people are partying and BBQing along the lake front. Not one responsible adult notices the 5 year old has wandered off.

Sadly, he was playing on the wall and fell into the lake and drowned. He was rescued after nearly 50 minutes in the water. He couldn't be revived.

I don't know what is more sad, the incident itself or the fact that there was no adult male role model there to dive in after him.(in many communities they are in short supply due to incarceration)

Now of course, the family of the young victim are calling for the city to install fences along the lakefront. As if a fence is a substitute for supervising your child!

I grieve for the child, but feel like smacking momma and the sperm donor. CHILDREN GET INTO MISCHIEF AND HAVE TO BE SUPERVISED.PUT DOWN THE MALT LIQUOR AND WATCH YOU'RE OFFSPRING. IT'S NOT SOCIETY'S RESPONSIBILITY!

Well, you see it is our own fault for not having someone stationed outside the store. Yes, you heard me. There should be someone there to inform said gentleman that it is not proper to bring your child to the liquor store at 1:30 in the morning. It is also not proper to have your child in your arms in the middle of a shootout. We should have someone walking around in the morning in the hood (like in medieval times)sayin "Get up...Take a shower...don't dress like a thug...Go to work...Go to school...don't point guns at the PO PO.....don't f@%# your baby momma's daughter or son...don't give your kids Flamin Hots and grape pop for breakfast....don't rob your neighbors....don't jack someone's car...Sorry, I think I got carried away.

You all miss the point entirely from a cultural point of view. This is nothing more the specialized training for a future NFL draft pick. The two year old gets some valuable bonding time with Dad, and gets to hold the 40 oz., building up muscle mass for a future in the NFL. When the shooting occurs you are to teach him mind you NOT to drop the 40 (Good hands under stress)ALSO(More training as a Wide Receiver in the NFL). During the shooting the child gets to practice running away...building up speed..quickness..hitting the hole..(Or later the ho).. you cannot replace training like that at Pop Warner...
This is a win. win. win. for everyone in the community on drakt day 2028.

Continue to provide free health care, housing, food programs and educational opportunities that are hardly ever taken advantage of. Keep rising to their defense everytime a toddler or other "innocent" black youth is gunned down over a basketball game, bag of weed, set of rims, etc., etc., etc. Keep refusing to acknowledge the fact that the majority of crime in this city is perpetuated by the "usual suspects".

If anyone watched the ABC news coverage I had to laugh. They showed the seen of the shooting during the daytime and mentioned that it was right next door to a Day Care Center (and actually showed a shot of the Daycare center). If you knew nothing else about the incident, it sounded as if the Father just picked up his child from Daycare and got caught in the middle of the shooting. It made no mention of the time the shooting happened or that the father was actually at the liquor store with his child. The Chicago Media never ceases to amaze me.

I agree, very tragic situation, even more so because the parents of the dead 5 year old were at home, having allowed him to go with a family friend (the father of the deceased's playmate). What was to be a family BBQ and a chance to see the fireworks turned into every parent's worst nightmare. In this situation, the biological parents weren't even there, so you can't blame them. If you read the police reports and the detective's notes, you will see this was a really tragic horrible nightmare, regardless of socio-economic status or race. The poor guy who asked to take the boy with him was inconsolable. As an officer having seen people in these awful situations, my prayers go up for all involved, including the bike officer who tried to help find the child and all the other people who had to stand by helplessly as they watched this tragedy unfold. Now the facts before you judge.....

Also said cost is not an issue

Notice how the response initially was an automatic "There should'a been a fence there so the chile couldn't fall into da water"

Not anything like "where the hell were the parents and why did they ignore their child and allow him to fall into the lake, they should be charged with child neglect."

Of course, accusing someone of child neglect among that certain demographic is like accusing a race car driver of speeding at the Indy 500.

Then they will have to go further to get their liquor and more of the folks at another liquor store will mean increased profits for the competition. It probably was a setup by the competition! Of course!

Now why the hell didn't my dad take me to the liquor store with him? Well, mostly because he didn't drink I guess. I never in my life saw my father drunk or even tipsy. Never.

Why is everyone afraid to say this is a black and Hispanic problem. Stop being an apologist for these low lifes and get to the point.

Daley, Obama, phleger, Jackson, Gutierez etc. it's time to face the facts. Blacks and Hispanics are bad and getting worse. The experiment has failed and we are fast on a crash course with Detroit. Before you say no way, it can't happen here, consider how good the conditions were in Detroit 20 years ago before you make up your mind. Remember it was the center of the auto industry then.

Nobody would have predicted that it could happen there, but alas look at what happened when the white people moved out, chaos.

In Chicago we are rapidly approaching the breaking point where only the rich and poor can remain in the city. It won't be long before the Southwest and Northwest sides are too small and unprotected to serve as appropriate neigborhoods for policemen to live in.

Yes, face it, at our pay levels we are no more than middle class unless your clout has managed to get you wife on the job (why anyone would want that I can only imagine) then you can call yourself upper middle class. Upper middle class until you factor in the 2000 per month it costs to keep you kids out of public schools with the blacks and Hispanincs, the same people that are out at 0200 hrs shooting it up at the liquor store or holding down the spot in just about any district in the city.

If we expect these people to change we must begin to demand it and create a disincentive to remain in the city if they want to continue being a criminal. We need you; Daley, Obama, Phleger, Jackson, etc to stand up and demand that your people begin to act appropriately, raise their children, put the guns away and stop blaming white people for their problems. Because when they hear it from us they just cry racism.

Until you do this you will remain a joke to the real people in the city who will continue to treat you accordingly until the day that you drive the last one of us out.

O.K. I'm ready to go back to the Reed center for my shock treatments now.

To 9:44pm:

Dark blue uniform shirts and trousers have the standard of the National Institute of Justice (NIJ) for years. That is part of the reason the NYPD went back to dark blue shirts when they consolidated the 3 NY police agencies about 10 years ago.

The NIJ wants all police agencies nationwide to wear the same type/color of uniform, just like in the European countries. An officer in England & Scotland wears the same uniform, whether he is in London, Leeds or a 300 person village. Same in Germany, France, Spain.

If JFed wants us in dark blue--the city coughs up the first issue. That is in the contract 16,000 shirts at $45 a pop=720K that is a lotta money.

That is the reason why we haven't switched shirts, get a uniform handgun, uniform footware, holsters, and other pieces of uniforms and equipment.

Yeah, at the cost to us barely-keeping-our heads-above-water (ALL pun intended)taxpayers, the City will put up fencing along the lakefront. All will be well until the structural integrity of said fencing is compromised after years of Westside and Southside mutts climbing over, leaning on, dangling from and destroying said man-made barriers. Then, on some sun-drenched, glorious day at a lakefront "Family Reunion" consisting of the Johnson Family (many of which made the trek northwards from Alabama, Mississippi & Louisiana), a portion of the 36 million dollar fencing will succumb to the abuse tendered by the hands of the savages. Result: "Lil Man" will be crushed to death while sitting on his Big Wheel enjoying a "sno-ball". The City will promptly settle a wrongful death lawsuit for another 36 million dollars, and we'll all get fucked in the pooper on that contract as well.
