God Reduces Crime?
In Gary? We thought God left Gary about 60 years ago or more:
Crime in Gary fell dramatically in the first half of the year, with violent offenses having the biggest drop, 43 percent, police said.
Cmdr. Anthony Titus said he can't explain the decline in the data submitted to the FBI.
"It's God," he said, smiling. "I would really love to take the credit, but just like I can't take responsibility for a homicide, I can't take the credit here either."
Assaults are down from 1,039 to 645, with a decrease in every assault subcategory, including the use of a firearm, knife and fists.
Maybe they're taking a page from Chicago's book? If it takes the police an hour or more to get there, the chances of the victim just shaking their head and leaving the scene increase exponentially:
- No victim = No report = No crime
43% sounds like a rather large statistical anomaly without a little assist from the Creative Accounting Department. Even when Shortshanks fudges numbers (Taste of Chicago attendance, Air & Water Show figures, First Day of School head counts), it's never more than a percentage point or two lest the media look too closely at the reality. Gary sounds like they got greedy.

Gary has all the structures, population, etc. of the lunar surface. The only reason crime has gone down is that there is nothing left to steal, burn, vandalize, etc.
I remember Claudell Ervin former Commander of 011 back in 97 standing on the tip holding hands w/the neighbor folk praying that the Dopeboys would go away. University of Chicago even came into the Station to do a study on the effectiveness of prayer in combatting crime.
Has Gary,In hired any former CPD exempts recently? Just asking,lol...
why is god only in gary and not in chicago?
Hey at least he tells it like it is, not bullshit like our kings and queens in the ivory tower.
OT-in 011,I did a burg report for a man yesterday who had said he had called the day before around 2pm,,he said he waited 4 hours and no one ever showed up. I told him about back logs,prioritized calls,etc. The day I did the report he said he waited nearly 2 hours(also around 2pm)I think he would have eventually gave up. CPD not showing up really doesnt help how we look in the public's eyes-NICE job Daley..and before we malign the residents of 011, he was a rehabber who is lucky to live in the suburbs.
Dramatic reduction...what has obviously happened is nobody is bothering to report anything. Alot of the good folks who fuel the stats by reporting have pulled up and left, or become so complacent they don't bother...
recognize this pattern ?
Maybe they’re so grief stricken over the death of Michael Jackson they’re too depressed to beat and murder each other the way they used to.
is there anyone left in this ghost town???
OT - But interesting... Sanctuary cities are illegal by Federal Law

(a) In general
Notwithstanding any other provision of Federal, State, or local law, a Federal, State, or local government entity or official may not prohibit, or in any way restrict, any government entity or official from sending to, or receiving from, the Immigration and Naturalization Service information regarding the citizenship or immigration status, lawful or unlawful, of any individual.
"Jesus done left Chicago...and He's bound for (New Orleans)Gary"..ZZ Top
gary= sister city to mogadishu
One sign a civilization is in severe decline is when people start looking to God and mysticism to solve their problems, rather than solving their own problems through rational thought and hard work.

And there's not a damn thing we can do about it if we're down on priority calls. Not enough of us to go around, and only 8.5 hours in a shift.
whoa!!! 011 Commander has told the watches that they cannot smoke in uniform...does that include the Capt with his cigars or the Lt with his quick smokes outside??

notwithstanding = despite anything to the contrary....
God didn't create John Rambo, I did!
Too bad Richie didn't think of that one, "We don't need more police GOD is on patrol".
I hate communism but Karl Marx was correct on at least one count:
Religion is the opiate of the masses
The reduction in crime? Would that be because of Indiana's CCW laws? Nahh..Go Figure...
I don't question that at all. God's the only one that could reduce crime in Gary. I ask God every night to indite our city council. Prayer can change the course of events.
God cannot afford the taxes in Chicago.
If God helps reduce crime, pray harder.
OTOH, how many of our dirtbags in jail are named Jesus? (Not the same one, of course!)

12:32 is absolutley correct. This language is used to indicate that this particular law is meant to overrule everything else--even if the other stuff specifically contradicts it. Trump this section, the same authority (Feds) would have to pass a later statute with the same language or one specifically exempting the future section from the application of this section.
More interesting is how passionate people are to get on this blog an write smart ass replies when they haven't even passed reading comprehehension classes. If you don't understand the language, don't get on here and prove you don't to everyone and their brother.
8/19/2009 06:22:00 PM indicates that this lack of reading comprehension is a problem.
Just like that bleached blonde suburbanite claims the cops weren't in front of the car, even though their is clearly a bullet through the windshield. Or she emphasizes how they said nothing because she couldn't here it from inside a car several lanes over from them on a busy interstate with police sirens blairing.
Some people just don't understand their limitations. Like "8/19/2009 06:22:00 PM" doesn't understand that he needs remedial reading classes.
