Not a Friend of the Queen

We recall the Burger Queen got a pass on this exact same thing from a number of people - the CO of Midway, the Department administration, the TSA. Not this guy though:
  • Bond was set at $30,000 Friday for a south suburban man charged with bringing a loaded semi-automatic pistol in his bag to Midway Airport on the Southwest Side.

    Rick Jones, 43, of the 17200 block of Forestway Dr. in East Hazel Crest was charged with boarding an aircraft with a weapon, a Class 4 felony, according to a Cook County State's Attorney's office spokesman Andy Conklin.

    Jones was arrested at 6:11 a.m. Thursday, according to prosecutors, who said he entered the airport to travel to Orlando, Fla., with a loaded .25 caliber Phoenix Arms semi-automatic pistol in his carry-on bag.

Nothing like the obvious double standard right up in your face. And just for laughs, we'll run this picture again:


Remember, she's above the law. She's also running a district that has posted 30 openings a month for about 5 months now. What does that tell us?

Of course, if he planned to shoot up the plane, this is not good.

BUT, if he inadvertently took his legal gun through screening, his attorney should subpoena everyone and everything that touched the cover-up of Crump-Hales' gun-toting incident.

THATS THE PROBLEM WITH HAVING A SUPERINTENDANT THAT SERVES AT THE PLEASURE OF THE MAYOR, maybe its time when have an independent board choose future superintendents so the CPD doesn't have to be so fucking political. Other cities have similar systems in place, why couldn't it work here?

Crump-Hales is the police, by law she is allowed to carry her weapon at Midway airport, but not through security. So she forgot that her weapon was in her purse, this has happen to many other police officers and exempts, nothing happen to them it was all taken care of. There was no CR# obtained on anyone else. How you can compare a law enforcement officer who is authorized to carry a wapon to a citizen who is not is beyound me. No court of law would convict her for a mistake. I am sure all of you know at least one police office that this happen too. Why the double standard.

Thanks to Commander Crump-Hales crime is down and moral is at an all time high in the 003rd District.

She has received many complementary letters from the good citizens of the 003rd District. The officers assigned to the 003rd District often speak highly of her, because she has their best interest in mind all the time. Without Crump-Hales where would the 003rd District be? Do we really want to know? 003 District officers often sing during roll call while holding hands. If you ask them about it they will deny it. Think about it; If Crump-Hales leaves who would replace her. Give it your best shot. Lets see your list. Here is mine:

Those 30 openings have less to do with Lillie than they do with being assigned to an Area 2 District in general. NO RESOURCES to combat the persistent problems,
major bailouts of the troops to supplement Weis's 'pet unit' (MSF)
have made the workload that much the worse for those who won't or can't leave. ALL of the Area 2 Districts are short as hell of bodies to man the cars; they're also burned out from the same old crap being thrown their way to handle day after day.

You conveniently neglected to mention how she went off on TSA and police personnel who were present, causing a scene, insisting she had a right to carry.

Why the double standard if THIS guy was carrying a registered weapon he just forgot to remove from his bag? Shouldn't HE be forgiven his 'mistake', same as C-H?

Anonymous observes that Crump-Hales "is the police" so it was OK that she got a pass for trying to carry a loaded handgun through security at Midway, while this poor stupid citizen Jones is being charged with a felony. Jones, by the way, doesn't live in Chicago, so if he's got a FOID card he could very well own that pistol legally and could very well have made a simple mistake of his own.

Anonymous, you have the gall to ask "Why the double standard?"

The double standard is giving a clouted cop a pass and charging an unclouted citizen with a felony for precisely the same action. In other words, you are the one advocating a double standard, buddy. Maybe you think a double standard is appropriate if you see that big a difference between cops and citizens, but call it what it is and don't make yourself look silly by arguing against your own point of view.

Anyone who isn't blind knows that WEISel's tenure here is on its last legs. 'Impostergate' (003)
deeply embarrassed the Supt. and the Mayor. The proposed 'let them shoot cars' order also deeply embarrassed not only the Mayor but the entire City Council. I believe Daley is fuming quietly about what Weis has done to the CPD during his short stay up til now; Don't be surprised to see 'online applications' for Weis's job before winter sets in here. The Olympic decision is fast approaching, and the word is, Chicago will be the host of the 2016 games. After that becomes official, Shortshanks knows he has to do SOMETHING to bring some sort of credibility back to the Dept.
The economic dropoff from revenues generated from ANOVS, movers/parkers and tows/seizures of cars has been nothing short of astronomical here, and Shortshanks has to install someone at 35th st. who can convince what small force we have left to go back to work, to some degree; if you think the cutbacks for this year have left a bad taste in a lot of mouths, wait until next year's cuts begin. Shortshanks may not like us much, be he underestimated how much this Dept. contributes to the GENERAL FUND, and that has fallen way off.
There will be no reversal of that until WEISel is no more.

Maybe WEISel will write a book about his time here after he's gone. I'd like to suggest two proposed titles:
"ABSOLUTE FAILURE," or "THE LONGEST LEARNING CURVE." I'd love to see him and soon to retire Chief Bill Bratton (LAPD) go on a book tour together sometime next year.

In addition, I know several officers who went to the airport and forgot that they had their weapon. The officers and supervisors at midway took care of them with no problem.

But why would ANY P.O. go to Midway or O'Hare if they were not getting on a plane? OK, a P.O. would be working Special, but an EXEMPT?????

And if you carry your duty weapon or secondary weapon with you, you have to be prepared to use it. When was the last time Crump-Hales pulled her weapon in the performance of her duties as a sworn police officer of the City of Chicago?

And, of course this begs the question would you want her to? I don't know about her but I've known a few exempts that had "special" help when they went to qualify. The leading indicator of such shenanigans is when they close the range and only allow the exempt in to qualify. Why? So there are no witnesses?

TSA will not prosecute a police officer for having his weapon on him going through security, just as it will not prosecute a police officer for not packing his unloaded weapon properly in his checked bag.However, they will verify status with the department and the department WILL get a CR number on that officer. I have seen cases where the officer got 30 days recommendation for violating a" law or ordinance"

This is my take on this airport incident. A regular citizen is not allowed to carry a weapon in Chicago, so by them having it and being discovered by the TSA will be arrested by the CPD. Now the Burger Queen on the other hand by law is authorized to carry and posses a hand gun. So when the weapon is discovered all can be done is that the TSA advise her that she cant take her weapon on the secured side of the airport or on her flight, she would have to check her weapon with the airline and transport it with the rest of the baggage on the plane. While I know the majority of you guys hate her and would of loved to seen her arrested, there was no arrest situation here.Just like any P.O. going to a river casino,Great America, Sears tower, etc... cannot take their authorized weapons into these venues but when discovered or accidentally forgotten by the P.O. cannot be arrested for it.
