Go Chalkie! It's Your Birthday!

  • Two men were wounded -- one fatally -- and a woman was struck by a stray bullet in a Sunday morning shooting on the West Side, police said.

    Two men and a woman were shot about 11:05 a.m. in the 3800 block of West Chicago Avenue, police said.

    A 36-year-old man was shot in the head while standing in the street and was dead on the scene. The man appears to be the intended target, police said.

Depending on the source, weekend totals were impressive. Upwards of 8 killed and 20 shot. We don't understand why the media isn't covering each and every crime scene with camera crews and street interviews. Are they backing off their "everything is going to hell in a hand basket" coverage of earlier months? Daley's people must be putting the screws to their lapdogs again. After all, Daley's going to China for the Olympics and we can't have any adverse coverage, can we?

Happy Birthday Chalkie!!!

Like everything else shootings and killings become old news when its everyday occurances. Whether its a souff or wezz side future medical school student or promising Hip-Hop artist....nobody cares!!! Even the revs are quiet. WHO CARES??? NOBODY...

Do the exempts care? Yes cause the politicians tell them they have too, and since they are basically political appointees...they do!

Wait until its some student from Loyola or Law student or a tourist from Ottumwa Iowa and it happens at Millineum Park or at Navy Pier then it will be NEWS.

Right now, Daley, Pritzkers, etc.,etc. are trying to get the Childrens Museum out of Navy Pier and into Grant Park; they;re pulling out all the stops to accomplish this: racism, better facility, blah, blah.

OT: Short-Biggie was on the news saying his trip to the Olympics will show the world that Chicago is ready to host the games.

Among things stated, Short' said Chicago P.D. is the best department in the world. Also that CPD was the best equipped, and most technologically advanced in the world. If this is true then I would hate to see all of the other departments in the world.

If the IOC buys this crap then they deserve what they get.

Here is some home work boys and girls.

________________________________
You're not even close on this one.
The "glee" you mentioned isn't glee at all. It's merely a pyschological way for anyone in law enforcement to deal with tragedies. You may know it as "dark humor". In Chicago, there's a lot of material.
Unfortunately, as much as we'd like members of law enforcement to stop these tragedies, they can't. It takes a neighborhood to retake a neighborhood from thugs. If the neighborhood lays back from fear, apathy, or in this case, the news media not reporting the news, the neighborhood will never come back.
By the way, if you think law enforcement has a lock on dark humor, you're wrong. The medical field wins hands down.
If you're a reporter, get to know some people in the medical profession. Their humor is much darker than law enforcements. Especially the emergency room types. Rumor has it, they started the "Dead Baby" jokes that popped up in the 1960's and early 70's.

I realize this is off topic, but this morning on channel 9 WGN Mayor Daley was talking about his escape to Beijing for the Olympics. Tricky Dick had nerves to say our department was one of the most best equipped and technically updated. He also said (and I don't know how he squeezed this out of his tiny head)he had great respect for us. OK enough of the bullshit, what department is he talking about? Who is this man?

I don't think the casino will be at Navy Pier. I talked to a security guard working over at the old U.S. Post office over Congress Pkwy. and he said they're doing a bunch of construction work inside to prepare it to be the new location for Chicago's casino.

I live in a 16 unit building and pay $200 a month for assessments. We are self managed and do pretty well.

$500 a month is more along the lines of a larger building (30+ units) or a building with an elevator. Get rid of the management company. All they do is suck you dry.

People will have to step up, though and take a more active role in what goes on around your building.

We have cleaning, lawn and snow removal services. However, when other issues pop up (hall carpets need to be cleaned, painting the common areas, finding someone to do repairs, etc) someone has to make those phone calls, meet with prospective companies and then bring the estimates and such to the board.

People have to understand that they don't live in an apartment anymore and things don't get magically fixed without paying for it. Your reserves aren't a bottomless pit of money, to be dolled out willy nilly. That money comes out of everyone's pockets.

Good luck.

As a private citizen (and I'm sure there are many who share my opinion) I was getting pretty disgusted with the "cps student shot" angle and all the other crap the media was trying to force down our throats.

Respectable, law-abiding citizens are not swayed by the high school journalism that passes for the media in our society today. I personally believe that most young reporters are not journalists but people looking to eventually grease their way into a cushy county or city job. At least it looks that way to me.

And Daley wants the Olympics here:

There has already been an attack from Muslims on police in China with many killed. I'm afraid what might happen the opening day. I wouldn't want to be an Olympian or a spectator in China right now.

AND China has reportedly spent $40 BILLION on the Olympics!!!!! That's billions folks.

And to the nitwits in city hall:
All we want is a decent contract that reflects the cost of living, up to date equipment, more manpower and competent bosses (no more merit hacks)and (__________) fill in the blank 'cause I know there's more.

I don't understand how Daley pushes the Olympics when I can't get the Bureau of Forestry to remove the dead tree in front of my house... it's been over four months already. 311 calls and a visit to the aldersloths's office, to no avail.

Vote all dummocrats out. Our lives in this city depends on it.

I ve been a policeman for over 20 years, and all but the academy has been spent on the West Side. I m getting pretty tired of listening to all this whinning from guys and girls who most of whom would nt or could nt find a gun in ERPS. If anybody advocates letting the bad guys run wild then you are a coward and do not belong on this job. I am not a fan of Supt. Weiss, or of our mayor. But when I go to work 6 days a week i will be damned if I am going to let some thug hurt another innocent person. And for all you jagoffs that say let them kill each other that is exactly what you are a jagoff. The problem is they normally don t kill bad guys. If you quit your whinning and keep your mouth shut we have THEM right where we want THEM> There has nt been a contract in the last 20 yrs thathas been settled in a decent amount of time. You need to change the agreement and allow us to start negotiating before the current one runs out. Half if not more of the people who post on here don t even know where the police room is at 26th street. And I guarentee you that if you do it s because you did the paper on a job......... Bad bosses and merit guys are nothing new to this job. I m not saying it s right but that s the way it is. Its one thing to piss and moan about things it s another to change them. If it does nt apply to you then let it roll off. if it does then quit this job and go work in a factory. My family and yours deserve better.

We're saving them for you.

"I am not a fan of Supt. Weiss, or of our mayor."

We agree on something.

"But when I go to work 6 days a week i will be damned if I am going to let some thug hurt another innocent person."

If you really do work on the Westside, you should know that the majority of people that are getting killed, beat up, etc. are not innocent people and their profession is dope dealer, esq. Come on, are you for real or what?
This has to be a sarcastic post.

"The problem is they normally
don t kill bad guys."

????????????? HUH????? LOL

"Half if not more of the people who post on here don t even know where the police room is at 26th street."

I heard it's in the basement by the swimming pool.

"My family and yours deserve better."

Couldn't agree with you more. Well then bid to where you live and stop "helping" people that could give a flying f*ck about you on the Westside and police areas that have real taxpayers and not the one's that pay taxes on flamin hots and 40's.

Buy a house, seriously.What is your monthly rent and assessments together? Cut your own lawn and shovel your own snow. Why pay all that money for nothing? On top of that , you have to ask permission from some board if you want to change anything in your place? You are already paying for someone else's stuff so you might as well take the plunge.

1/2 Billion Dollar 911 Communication Center and they don't have information about an approaching tornado?

Zone 9 (Covers 5th and 22nd Districts)

1945hrs: AM radio stations are broken into by the National Weather Service warning citizens in Mt. Greenwood(Chgo), Oak Lawn, Alsip and other surrounding burbs to take immediate cover due to a tornado warning and sighting of a funnel cloud that was approaching.

Street Officer on Zone 9 asks the Zone about the information heard on a cheap AM radio, Zone 9 informs the officer that they have no weather information at this time about the storm. Mean time all the tornado alarms are going off in Oak Lawn, Evergreen Park, Alsip, Robbins and other south suburbs.

After being asked about this several times, the Zone 9 dispatcher says she is going to ask her supervisor if anything is being heard about the AM radio telling citizens where we are all working to take immediate cover.

It was well after 2000hrs, 15 minutes later that the dispatcher said that there is a severe weather warning in effect. Nothing about the tornado warning or anything about taking cover.

It was only after an officer said that a small tornado or micro-burst had hit around 11500 South Kedzie that 2299 ordered his cars to take cover.

A 1/2 billion dollar communication center that has less information than a $5.00 AM radio. Fucking ridiculous! If you remember a few years ago when the sirens went off across Chicago for a Tornado and the 911 center didn't know why the sirens were going off?

God forbid this turned out to be a real tornado and no officer or Chicago citizens were warned, imagine the outcome!

If the 911 center can even get information about a goddamn approaching storm, what would really happen if a 911 attack happened here? We are screwed!

To some this may seem so meaningless. But you better think again, when a shit poor community like Robbins Illinois can sound their tornado alarms when our 911 center has no information... its a giant deal.

But you gotta have rocks in your head if you think doing work for these un-appreciative douchebags at city hall is the right thing to do out of pride or some sense of allegiance to this city. Especially in the past couple of years.

You obviously haven't been frivolously sued or falsely accused of wrongdoing by dude. The politicians and bosses will throw you under the bus in a millisecond and don't give a crap about you or your family.

A $500 assesment on a building that size sounds way too much. That is assuming the assessment does not include a special assesment for building improvements or to build-up a seriously underfunded reserve.

It's a bitch with limited time available but start going to the condo board meetings and ask questions. Get on the Board if possible.

As has been previously posted, the best course of action is for the Board to do the building management themselves buy that only works if you have Board members that are capable and willing to put in the time for what in most cases is an unpaid position.

Management companies do the managment at cost plus profit and in my experience hire class A suckholes at the condo residents expense. It's frustrating as he'll to be paying for it all as an owner and having a Management Co. in bed with a corrupt and/or incompetent Board.

Get involved with other like-minded owners and start asking questions and if need be put some feet to the fire. Just being a cop could be helpful putting some fear in anyone stealing even if you don't explicitly make statement to put the fear in them (not a good idea).

Funny thing it's a lot like City Gov't but on a mini scale. It all comes down to the Leadership, the Accountability and the involvement of the people.

1/2 Billion Dollar 911 Communication Center and they don't have information about an approaching tornado?

Zone 9 (Covers 5th and 22nd Districts)

1945hrs: AM radio stations are broken into by the National Weather Service warning citizens in Mt. Greenwood(Chgo), Oak Lawn, Alsip and other surrounding burbs to take immediate cover due to a tornado warning and sighting of a funnel cloud that was approaching.

Street Officer on Zone 9 asks the Zone about the information heard on a cheap AM radio, Zone 9 informs the officer that they have no weather information at this time about the storm. Mean time all the tornado alarms are going off in Oak Lawn, Evergreen Park, Alsip, Robbins and other south suburbs.

After being asked about this several times, the Zone 9 dispatcher says she is going to ask her supervisor if anything is being heard about the AM radio telling citizens where we are all working to take immediate cover.

It was well after 2000hrs, 15 minutes later that the dispatcher said that there is a severe weather warning in effect. Nothing about the tornado warning or anything about taking cover.

It was only after an officer said that a small tornado or micro-burst had hit around 11500 South Kedzie that 2299 ordered his cars to take cover.

A 1/2 billion dollar communication center that has less information than a $5.00 AM radio. Fucking ridiculous! If you remember a few years ago when the sirens went off across Chicago for a Tornado and the 911 center didn't know why the sirens were going off?

God forbid this turned out to be a real tornado and no officer or Chicago citizens were warned, imagine the outcome!

If the 911 center can even get information about a goddamn approaching storm, what would really happen if a 911 attack happened here? We are screwed!

To some this may seem so meaningless. But you better think again, when a shit poor community like Robbins Illinois can sound their tornado alarms when our 911 center has no information... its a giant deal.

Sorry but it was probably just lazy dispatchers on zone 9, zone 13 was all over it giving updates every couple of minutes about tornado touchdowns, funnel cloud sighting etc. a Sgt. in 012 told the dispatcher his cars weren't answering any storm-related jobs until it calmed down and for the cars to find a place to take cover, it was nice to hear..

Get a life or a job you don't have to spend so much complaining about. Think of all the overtime you could be working in the private sector instead of whining and crying and damaging the chicago police department with your salty attitudes and poor work ethic. Be careful though, you can't come up with a lot of excuses not to do your job and be a lazy dog in the real world where people are expected to produce results. Fact: There are people who are the police that barely passed the police test -- a test a drunken money could pass, and have no formal education or ambition to be anything but a beat cop until retirement. They manipulate the job to cheat even their lunch hours, stay down on jobs so they don't have to take another one. They are the ones that are oh so proud to walk around and take credit for the honorable position of being the police, but they don't do jack most of the time. Their personal lifes are screwed up, they drink too much and they are moody bastages, like to fight and find safety in groups of other officers. I think the college requirement is the best thing this department ever did. Once all the ignorance holding on to their only goal of coasting by until cashing in on retirement has been weeded out people who actually have some goals and ability to accomplish goals can make it better for everyone in many ways.

I ve been a policeman for over 20 years, and all but the academy has been spent on the West Side. I m getting pretty tired of listening to all this whinning from guys and girls who most of whom would nt or could nt find a gun in ERPS. If anybody advocates letting the bad guys run wild then you are a coward and do not belong on this job. I am not a fan of Supt. Weiss, or of our mayor. But when I go to work 6 days a week i will be damned if I am going to let some thug hurt another innocent person.......

Man, I could not of said it better myself. Remember guys and girls, you took an oath....you are not painters, or electricians...you are police officers...act like one lock someone up who deserves to be locked up...we all know that 15-20% of this department does 90% of the work....and the other 80 are the guys who when introduced by there wives at a wedding or graduation party as a police officer say.......Oh, where do you work..and the working copper says 010 or 007 or 011.... and the response is always the same from the dog "you know i've been trying to bid in there, but I haven't made it.... Oh realy
If you guys had a two day work week with a 40% raise you still would be crying....Some of us are policemen and women....some of us are Posers....It's not to hard to figure out....

That man doesn't need to play more football. That man needs to spend $ for a shrink. Honestly. Retires twice? And can't stand being out of the public eye so he has to unretire? For seeming like a "normal" person, he must have one hell of an ego that needs stroking.

8/05/2008 11:51:00 AM

!!!!!!!!!!agree!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

who cares....hopes he f*cks up big time and then retires a third time with his head up his ass.
Over- paid and over- exposed. Period.

Sgt. Macnamara who just retired claimed he had 12 shootings in his career and they meritoriously promoted him. So there's an example proving you wrong. At least at one time you could have done your job and wiped out some of the muts of society.

8/04/2008 11:25:00 AM

.........12 shootings today will get you psyched, indicted and fired. The city won't let you police. The criminals, politcal hacks, revs, liberals and money-hungry attorneys are running this city, county and state to the the ground. AS soon as property values start to increase a gain, it's retirement and get the hell out.

These "innocent" people are the same ones that sit on juries and let these brutal criminals go free. They are the same ones who sit on juries that give these animals thousands or millions of our tax dollars. They are the same ones who love bashing police through polls, votes, blogs, letters, or any other method because they believe that the police are the real problem. They are the same ones who see other people getting robbed, then say nothing, or refuse to identify, or refuse to testify against that criminal.

Only after someone sticks a gun in their face or kills their loved one do they then turn around and demand justice.

There are two societies in this city. One learned to live with crime, even support it, even benefit from it in one way or another. The other had crime move away from them. Overall crime diminished over the past ten or fifteen years and its not these innocent people's problem anymore. It's just a show on the TV news.

Well its starting to become their problem now and they're just starting to get scared.

You can blame the mayor or the media or even Weis for the chaos that all of us see brewing. But, the truth is that it's the innocent people's fault. They stopped demanding justice for other people. Now they shouldn't be surprised when no one is demanding justice for them.

And for all you jagoffs that say let them kill each other that is exactly what you are a jagoff. The problem is they normally don t kill bad guys. If you quit your whinning and keep your mouth shut we have THEM right where we want THEM> There has nt been a contract in the last 20 yrs thathas been settled in a decent amount of time. You need to change the agreement and allow us to start negotiating before the current one runs out. Half if not more of the people who post on here don t even know where the police room is at 26th street. And I guarentee you that if you do it s because you did the paper on a job......... Bad bosses and merit guys are nothing new to this job. I m not saying it s right but that s the way it is. Its one thing to piss and moan about things it s another to change them. If it does nt apply to you then let it roll off. if it does then quit this job and go work in a factory. My family and yours deserve better.

amen.....all of those that complain probably couldnt do anything else in life...do your job...u got good benefits already
