Just out of curiosity does anyone know how many people get shot each year in Chicago? We know the murder number. But what is the shot and survived number?
Rumor has it that Chalkie forfeited all of his furlough days in 2009, choosing instead to embark on the selfless task he does best; he also vouches to make this "a year of results".
I sure hope THIS representative of the CPD keeps his promise.
The midget shoulda went after the Winter Olympics. It woulda been safer.
The SVU guys in our Area were running their asses ragged today. Every kid with raging hormones was strutting their stuff today and the arrests were just piling up. Every call on the p.a. was for SVU. It probably got worse tonight.
Check the weather reports, Mr. Weis. There's your determining factor; not whether the ninja-suits are in the Area.
SCC,
I don't understand how these shootings keep happening. I thought CeaseFire was supposed to intervene before the shootings occur. Maybe they should take that money back and give it to the officers.
And to thing the string of hot days has not even arrived yet! take care of each other and police families otherwise tell the citizens they are on their own! Hope the olympic committee knows about gangster land shitcago home of the daley criminal empire!
Couple more shot in 009 tonight. One looks really bad.
This summer is going to be outrageous.
SCC, it is bad out there. Really bad. This is just a week day. Remember April last year? That was a weekend. WGN is predicting another batch of high 60s and 70s next week.
16MAR09: 7 041A, 2 0110
17MAR09: 11 041A, 1 0110 (still needs to be fine tuned)
004 is going up for grabs around 87th and exchange again. Kings,Ambrose and the usual suspects checking to see if their guns are working. Sources indicate that there is a federal operation in that area as well. As we ALL KNOW any thing a Fed does is BOUND to be a screw up. BE careful and watch your asses out there.
Don't forget 2 shot in 009 at 43 and Honore.....one in the forearm--other dude shot 3 times, head chest and stomach---and still talking....unbelievable----saints raza--and so it begins...
Chalkie is running around like Benny Hill!
Person shot in 014 on 3000 blk. of Kimball.
scc like you said odd places 020 and 023 and before all the tough guy 2 year wonders from 'ghetto' chime in just remeber that the shit is every.really everywhere pay attention when you are driving home and walking to your place of residence
1 shot in 022 just off 95th st. I guess J FRAUD was mistaken when he took credit for the early lull in shootings no way it was weather related. This guy is a real moron. Is he going to get on the news and say its his fault everyone is shooting now. He loved claiming it was his super strategey working in Jan when shootings were down. Oh and the MSF commander is an idiot to.
Sounds like Chalkie got himself a new car andis exploing new 'hoods to practice his trade.
Chalkie is now offering franchising opportunities called "McChalkie".
Those that are shot and injured are comparible to those that are shot in Iraq on a day by day basis. That number will start rising here due to warmer weather. The only way the violence will stop in the most violent areas is a surge of police with shot guns and rifles at hand. It worked in Iraq it would work here also. Hear there is 100 Mil for police OT this summer maybe the surge will be coming?
JFED will respond by ading another platoon of MSF. Strip units and districts of officers to create this new platoon. Districts are really hurting yet we suddenly have 13,500 sworn? Of course the pod cameras will be the answer.
I also suspect these individuals have no health insurance. Looks like we pay and pay and pay.
Very simple, just make it illegal to own or carry a handgun in the city. Problem solved.
The shit is everywhere but not in 020 or 023.....Thats why he said odd places, cuz it dont happen there
HELP Mr. Mayor, crime is running rampant!!!!! WE NEED MORE CAMERAS!!!!!!!!!
All these shootings and where is leo? Hey boss looks like another "wonder" needs to be back to lt rank and/or retire!
How about when gang banging punk is shot we ask if they had medical insurance if not, oh well give them a band aid! Why keep sprending on saving this pos,lets just make them "shovel ready."
300 WEST OAK WTF!
Yuo can't go anywhere in this land of Daley.

I think we should start running in tandem with the shootings or agg abtt numbers whether or not the weapon recovered was legally obtained and whether or not the person in the possession of said weapon could in fact obtain a legal one(IE covnvicted felon)
All these reports must be fictional. After all, Chicago has "gun control" that makes it impossible to have a handgun and damned difficult to get a rifle or shotgun, right? Add to that the FOID requirement at the state level, and you just can't have "gun violence" like this.

Hope is not a plan; not all change is good.

INFO FOR POLICE:
I WAS SHOPPING AT A STORE IN DUPAGE COUNTY (TO AVOID COOK COUNTY TAXES). THIS STORE SELL'S AMMUNITION AND THERE WERE FOUR GANGBANGERS BUYING MULTIPLE BOXES. IT LOOKS LIKE ONE GUY HAD A FOID CARD AND HE WAS BUYING FOR THE GROUP. KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN AND STAY SAFE OUT THERE. GET TO THE RANGE AND PRACTICE.
I see that the gun bans are working just fine!
HEY DALEY; YOUR A F**K'N MORON!!
chalkie Alert!!!
Warm day brings outburst of violence

Two teens and a 21-year-old man were wounded in gang-related shootings and a man was found stabbed to death in a West Side alley late Tuesday following what was already an unusually violent day in Chicago.
In all, at least ten people were shot and one stabbed in street violence that accompanied springlike 74-degree temperatures.

Benny Hill?! You are showing your age, my friend! And I'm showing mine by knowing who the hell Benny hill was! LOL!
Its gonna be a another long wild hot summer. Whoever reads this it being the media, citizens whoever its just this simple. We are short manpower. So the skeleton crew we have esp in patrol all we do is go from call to call. There arent enough police in the world to stop ever single isolated incident were two scum bags are arguing and one starts shooting. I dont know that little johnny who is only 12 is out at 2am cause im usually driving to my next call/job. its not the police's fault he gets shoo at 2am. Its his parents or lack thereof. 29 public school kids have been killed...maybe that number would be 49 if we were'nt doing our jobs? itll never be zero cause chicago is filled with way to many bad neighborhoods filled with gangbangers and scumbags. So when we target a high crime area and stop people who are suspicious and standing on the corner at 3am we're labeled as harrassing the minories etc. so they file bogus complaints against us for us trying to make that neighborhood alittle safer. So if your child is out late hanging with his bustout friends at 2am and gets shot its not the police dept fault. Its yours, They should be at home. ALL YOU COPPERS STAY SAFE!
Well, I just saw in the Sun-Times that Ceasefire had their funding reinstated. $4.9 million I think was the amount. Maybe that will put a stop to the violence.
Yeah, prolly not.

LOL !!!!!!! Shot drinking water thru nose on to keyboard !!!!!
add one in 008 cps student shot last night around 745.. hit the arterie, he aint looking too good.
Reminds me of this quote from "Training Day":
Jake (Ethan Hawke): That's street justice.
Alonzo (Denzel Washington): What's wrong with street justice?
Jake: Oh, what, so just let the animals wipe themselves out, right?
Alonzo: God willing. Fuck 'em, and everybody that looks like 'em.
yes jodi, it is time for you and brust and aunt bea and okeefe to saddle up and lead by example. hit the ground running and chase down some jobs jn that old crown vic with 110,000 miles on it and a computer that has been broken since 2003. after you take care of the 7 job stack you can make a street stop and do some contact cards and be accused of racial profiling. take your lunch and get hit up by the inspector for staying in the restaurant after you cleared. finally, you get the fatal accident a half hour before your tour ends and the watch commander orders you to handle it. say hello to about 8 hours of overtime-- hope you didn't have anything planned after work.
how come we dont hear of any shootings or killing on the northside ?--the people on the nothside must not have any guns up there
Very simple, just make it illegal to own or carry a handgun in the city. Problem solved.

Genius!!! I wonder if the Mayor knows about this?

It's quiet.
Too quiet.
Lithuanian neighborhoods are a seething cauldron of resentment, needing only the slightest spark to trigger an orgy of senseless killing, looting, and burning.

Because Mr. Southside like everything else that happens around the northside or northsiders WE keep our mouths shut about it!
Quit yappin'
Go CUBS
Chalkie you crafty rascal, where u fixin to pop up next. Me thinks chicago and st.louis is ripe for a visit.
we're actually around 10 less homicides then last year. however, i'm still giving all credit to this years wacky weather. cold, rain, snow. etc
I need an answer to a question that been on my mind for a long time and it seems I can not figure this out......"How many CPS kids been shot, lets say, in the last three years and how many private/catholic school kids been shot? And the other question I had that was rattling around in the head was...If the gun laws are working, then why are all these kids getting shot? I mean, when you ask Daley, Fr Whathisname,and all the politcians they really do not answer these questions. I just thought maybe someone out there knew, thats all.
I can promise all the law enforcement guys out there that when I receive my FOID card, I not purchase a gun legally, but more importantly, I will get the proper training to handle and shoot straight. I will practice and practice. I promise!!
"I will get the proper training to handle and shoot straight. I will practice and practice. I promise!!
