Thanks for Visiting

For the fourth straight day, we've topped 10,000 visits (10, 14, 16 and 13 thousand respectively). Many of these visits are from media types and linked from left and right leaning sites looking for info on the Chicago riot preparations and results.

If you've gone through the comment sections over the past few days, you see that it was more like a typical New Years Eve rather than a Bull's celebration. All well and good - we prepare for possibilities, not what is hoped for. If it went to shit in a hurry, we get blamed for not being prepared. If we over-prepare and nothing happens, we're alarmists, racists and nuts. We can't win.

Regardless, we fully expect to drop down to normal numbers in short order (6 to 8,000 daily). Maybe we'll pick up a few extras here and there who appreciate our take on things. We're sure that the trolls will hang around for a few more weeks trying to get their nonsense published. So thanks for making this week interesting to say the least.

"Thank You for working so hard on this blog and thank you for your dedication."

That's what I wanted to say. SCC's profile says "Spouse, parent, cop." That's a tall order. We're all grateful for the time he spends keeping this site going.

Why, even the police come here to find out what's going on. (grin) It's not like the city's going to tell anybody anything -- even if that commo van did work.

All of us who are of state now sure do appreciate all your hard work. We could not have been prouder of both the CPD and the citizens of our fair city. However, I'm not going to give the idiot leprechaun credit. It was only by the grace of GOD and the historical significance of this world-wide event that peace ruled the night. Well, that and the word that Snethen was coming down to take charge.

by that, do you mean readers responding or the local media taking things from SCC and using it for their "reporting"?

The Daily Herald reported that Terrence Ligon was aquited of murdering Robert Anderson, a four year old child shot outside his home. This came after a mistrial where jurors were photographed (intimidated) in April.
Not a single mention in the two Daily Chicago rags.
I ask: 1) Since its obvious that reporters for both papers have been reading this blog from their quotes, etc. Maybe one of you reporters want to report on this tragedy...
2) WTF happened on this one ?

I've been working so much that I haven't had much time for my own blog let alone anyone else's, but even if it's for 5 minutes, I always make it a point to stop here.

You're very much appreciated, SCC, and your work here does not go unnoticed.

Thank you.

stop it they are the "hardest working guys there," just ask them! The best thing would be if the "twins" went back to patrol so they could get some police experience, then maybe they would stop all the bitching!
