WBBM Report on Taste
We listen to the news semi-regularly. It pays to be informed. Unfortunately, WBBM doesn't always throw up transcripts of its reports the way some of the TV stations do, so if we hear a good quote or report or whatever, we're usually stuck listening later and trying to transcribe it ourselves.
Today was one of those days. J-Fled had a rambling statement about how everyone should come down to the Taste and not let a few people who couldn't behave mar an otherwise good time. WBBM then stated that over 20 people had been arrested Thursday night in addition to the 3 stabbed.
The report on the stabbings was what really caught our attention. The first stabbing occurred when the victim wandered through a gang fight in the area of State and Jackson. The second and third stabbings happened simultaneously when the other victims walked through the same gang fight - 15 minutes later! So for a quarter-of-an-hour, the Chicago Police Department was unable to muster any significant response that could quell a gang fight in the middle of downtown?
The message J-Fled is inadvertently giving is "The Chicago Police Department CANNOT guarantee your safety in the middle of the largest food festival in Illinois."
The message we're receiving is the Department is run by morons, idiots and fools of assorted calibers, and even if they were capable of "having your back," there's no possible way to do it.
Watch your asses this weekend.
UPDATE: Here's a report of the stabbings.

J-Fled is NOT someone to take advice about your saftey in the wasteland known as SHITCAGO. He's a well documented COWARD & is manipulated by the biggest ASSHOLE in the State of Illinois commonly known as "Shortshanks", aka richard m. daley who is the Dictator of this once fine city.
Fuck them both !!!!!
Words to the wise: Naperville Ribfest. Better music, better crowds, better food. And if you stop on your way at the Jewel in Naperville you even get a ticket cheaper.
Weis here's a word to the wise: Ribfest in Naperville. It will be safer for you I don't think you will have to run away from a shooting.
Dugan, aren't you fortunate you get to view all the fun on a large screen tv...from O'Hare airport?
okay
one knife per household!
Chicago Tribune Breaking News had the same account:
Weis made his remarks the day after a melee broke out in the Loop shortly after 9 p.m., when the Taste closed for the day, that left three teenagers wounded.
Police in riot helmets responded and cleared the area in the 200 block of South State Street where the stabbings occurred.
In one of the attacks, friends Edward Nuttall, 14, and Bobby Greenlee, 15, who had attended the concert by R&B singer Trey Songz, said they were surrounded by a group of young men and slashed by a knife-wielding attacker.
"He (the attacker) thought that the crowd was trying to jump on him, and he just started swinging a knife," Nuttall said.
About 15 minutes before Nuttall and Greenlee were stabbed, another 15-year-old was stabbed in the back during the same brawl, police said.
No arrests have been made, police said Friday.
As of Friday afternoon, police had made 49 arrests at this year's Taste, with eight resulting in felony charges, officials said. The annual event closes at 6 p.m. Sunday.
You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich.
You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong.
You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift.
You cannot lift the wage earner up by pulling the wage payer down.
You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred.
You cannot build character and courage by taking away people's initiative and independence.
You cannot help people permanently by doing for them, what they could and should do for themselves.
...... Abraham Lincoln
The real point is that we HAVE NO LEADERSHIP. With Dugan gone there is no other. Think about it. Weis? Brown? Bea? Jackson? Who's left? CPD is a headless org.
Those Secret Study Groups sure produce high quality bosses don't they?
Off topic. Since the media won't report the news, maybe SCC can help. Barack "your taxes will not go up one dime" Obama has lied yet again. Income taxes in ALL brackets are rising January 1. Yes, even if you male less than 250k. The largest tax hike EVER! Also, sine they couldn't shut down drilling, the administration is using the EPA to shut down 1/3 of domestic refineries. Imagine what that will do to gas prices.
Maybe another reason is because we are tired of being projected as the "bad police". So many cameras and video our there, why would I run into a gang fight? To get hurt? To be fired cause I defended myself? To be ridiculed? F- that! You go to the taste and listen to these morons then good luck! I'll call you an ambulance if you need one and give you a report.
urban terrorist night at taste of chicago! GDs vs. VICELORDS in the main event! kinda like kevin beacon at the end of the movie animal house...
Just for the record, that's a fake Lincoln quote.
Please look up the arrest that same night of the 3 family members who were charged with agg batt of a child and 3 other agg batts. Why didn't the media report that?
this shit never happened when mcnulty was running things
I'm concieved, born, raised, live and work in Chicago. I love this city, or at least how it used to be. It really does break my heart that so many formerly nice places and events and neighborhoods will not be visited by me again. Within a few years I plan on leaving, to where, I don't know yet. Most of this has happened under Daleyreich. You are ruining this city you and your buddies you rotten thieving bastards.
Sigh, Chicago R.I.P.

"Watch your asses this weekend."
Thanks ... nice to see this said. This is the new CPD motto. One thing I've learned in living here for 12 years, is that, as a "citizen," you're completely fucking on your own. The cops show up after you've already been shot (been there, done that). You guys literally *excel* at ticketing cars on street cleaning day, but you blast on by in your cars when 15 shitheads in my neighborhood are all ruining a corner, arguing about who's mom sucks the most dick. Clap clap.
Yes that's right, a few thousand people could not behave and that was only on one block! Downtown was full of punks grabbing girls, smacking their asses, yelling and screaming profanities, starting fights, throwing garbage all over the streets, drinking alcohol, smoking weed, and pissing all over our beautiful downtown streets!
I talked to an EMS worker and he said that during the "R & B" show, the crowd was rushing the stage and trampling little kids.
No amount of government money, nor social program can cure a segment of Chicago's population that lacks impulse control. Be it drugs, sex, violence, criminal activity, this segment of society cannot and will not control themselves. It will never change but only get worse.
Wouldn't it be nice if the Fop commented on our manpower shortage?
To the commentator with the crush on Dugan:
Leader? Hardly. He is an egomaniacal, micro-managing goof who over complicated everything by allowing no one below him to make their own command decisions. Everything had to be run through him first. Georgas is the same way.
One down, one to go.
J-Fled is a coward and was not even at the taste to witness first hand what was going on. Enough of this guy already. Grow up Jody.
Mental note to self, never name a boy a GIRLS NAME!!!!!
Wedensday no problems, Thursday HUGE problems, Friday no problems. One of these days was not like the others.....THAT is the problem.
Meanwhile RDOS are cancelled for the 4th, every body in uniform on an order that comes out on Friday @ 1630?
Remember, you DO NOT have to obey an order that jepardizes your safety. F these incompetent white shirt wearing morons, Go home safely that's your only concern.
"In one of the attacks, friends Edward Nuttall, 14, and Bobby Greenlee, 15, who had attended the concert by R&B singer Trey Songz, said they were surrounded by a group of young men and slashed by a knife-wielding attacker."
HO HUM, JUST ANOTHER RANDOM ACT OF SAVGERY PERPETRATED BY SOME CPS HONOR STUDENT
It's past time to get a petition going to cancel the taste!
This first comment on the blog, says it better than I could. J-Fled, to me, always appears to be reading from some prepared text. His words are always well chosen, to be politically correct. "We are still having difficulties, getting some of the young people, at the fest to cooperate with our instructions"
How Can Anyone Say That With A Straight Face ? No One That Has Ever Been A Real Police Officer.
PS Have A Nice Day ???
Weasel JFled whining that the stabbings really had nothing to do with the fest and that they all happened outside! We're back to inside and outside, just like the homicides. This piece of shit has no shame. He is totally Boss Daley's butt boy. Hows the view from back there Jody? Taste good?
IMPORTANT NOTICE TO ALL POLICE OFFICERS WORKING THIS HOLIDAY WEEKEND AT CHICAGO FEST, AND NAVY PIER:
HIS ROYAL MAJESTY,AKA "THE EMPEROR'S NEW CLOTHES", WILL BE WATCHING ALL OF YOU, FROM HIS SAFE HAVEN ACROSS THE LAKE IN MICHIGAN.
DO NOT BE CONCERNED ABOUT HIS WELFARE. HE HAS BROUGHT AND SMALL ARMY OF WELL ARMED GUARD TO PROTECT HIM AT "THE BUNKER"
PS; Have A Nice Day ?????

j-fled hired because yelad (daley backwards-disrespect) wanted the olympics and j-fled's expertise dealing with high profile events. Yet this is a pre-planned event (20 plus years) and this goof can't get it right. yelad step up get this loser and his fed special employment group on the launch pad and send them the f--- outta here.

...One thing I've learned in living here for 12 years is that, as a "citizen," you're completely fucking on your own.
Sir or Madam:
You are completely correct. I'm sure there are going to be responses from others saying "go back to your suburb" or simply "go fuck yourself" but it hurts to admit that you are 100% right. 12 years ago, you could go to the Taste and still enjoy it. Back then, if you wanted to take a drive on LSD after sunset it was a fun time. Today, between the shithead thugs, freaknik motorcyclists going 100+ MPH and the desperate lack of police, it's better to stay in your home.
When you say the police blast by the 15 jagoffs on the corner it's because they're already going to ANOTHER disturbance with 15 other jagoffs on yet a different corner. As far as showing up after someone's been shot, it's completely true. Between the experience drain of the CPD (older, experienced street cops out actively looking for bad guys being replaced by less-paid college kids who think making an arrest from a radio call is a big deal) and the drastic downsizing of the 2nd largest police agency in the U.S. makes the concept of "pro-active" policing impossible. Now we all run from call to call for baby-mama-drama and pookie-won't-go-to-school calls instead of being able to donate a considerable amount of our tour of duty trying to eliminate street crime.
Yes, I'm a cop but my wife, mom, dad and family are all "citizens" like you and while we're at work we're wondering who's climbing through our patio windows and possibly trying to victimize ourselves or our loved ones.
46 years ago the big Civil Rights bill passed Congress and was signed by LBJ. Everyone hoped things would get better but, here we are, waiting for segments of our society to assimilate with mainstream America. Not a chance. Still waiting for a handout or the government to feed them, clothe them and raise their kids. But the end is near. Daley is up for reelection soon. If (and it's a BIG if) Daley can be voted out of office (penitentiary would be better) and a REAL police officer can be appointed Superintendent, perhaps the streets might possibly be returned to our "citizens" and the Pursuit of Happiness might be a part of the average persons lexicon again.
I'm sorry to tell you that you're right to be angry but we're in the same boat and we see all the things you wrote about every day.
If Daley wins, it's time to go. Only time will tell.

A post-concert slashing ovation?
"The largest tax hike EVER!"
News flash: Congress makes the laws, including tax rates.
And I believe this is the end of the temporary tax cuts, scheduled to end in 2010, which contributed to the current $13 trillion deficit, passed by Congress during the Bush administration.
I don't favor higher taxes, but please get your facts and assumptions right.

Go Fuck Yourself you slobbering asshole, you the citizen wanted this type of policing now you got it. We are saddled with a useless Federal Agent who only cares about indicting our hard working officers, A policy making group of no nothings and Masters who gives the orders from ShortShanks. Now when you slobbering wimpering bastards get off your ass and support the police, perhaps you will have a Department you once knew. There is no leadership at the top, the current leaders do not have to adhere to any standards of morals or ethics. I hope each and everyone of you slobbering wimpering bastards think of Bill Cozzi and what he is going through, this is the thanks that he has recieved. Now you want us to run out and save your asses. Forget it. As far as the tickets you can thank the department of revenue for that because again the Officers don't truly give a rat's ass. Have A Nice Day Sir or Mam.
saw j-fled 0n the news.does this guy ever look professional? always looks like his coming from the gym. he represents us and looks like lincoln park yup.

HUH??? Who me??

When you moved in 12 years ago, you should have picked a better neighborhood to plop down in, and after getting shot too? Either your full of shit, or just stupid
The two that went to Little Company were morons and really had no idea what time or where they were cut. All they knew is that they were walking out of the McDonald's after they attended the taste of Chicago. The time and address of occurrence was a best guess-estimate. I'm sure these two morons were stabbed during the same event.
To 6:43.
I know who passes laws. Our congress is a rubber stamp for Obama's agenda. They could extend the various cuts. Tax cuts stimulate the economy but Democrats need to use our money to buy votes from the scum of the nation. . The fact is that Obama said that taxes would not go up one dime. It was a lie. Period.
You want to talk spending? Barack has racked up more deficit spending than Bush did in 8 freaking years.
Obama is a damn boob who has no idea what he is doing. He will not even take questions from the press because everything needs to be scripted by his handlers and put on a teleprompter. . Is he still
gonna cut the deficit in half like he promised?
Chicago Trib reporting arrest of 3 POS for beating on a family and punching a 4 month old. Crook County judge set bond for two of them at $125K and one at $150K for causing a broken ankle to one of the victims.
Only in Crook County.
Any place else there would have been a $500K bond for attacking and punching a 4 month old. I'm glad J-Fled is comfortable with the police presence that night. What a dick wad!

Bail set in attack on family leaving Taste

Was this black on black or a black on white hate crime? Why doesn't the news every comment on this?
---not a cop
We live in a big city. In a place with millions of people, it's inevitable that some grotesque, anti-social act will be committed by someone, someplace at some time.
In the age of instant information exchange and the hysterical 24 hour news cycle constantly hyping and pumping every salacious story to come down the pike, we tend to over-emphasize events like this.
A bunch of shitbirds punched on a family, for whatever reason. This sort of thing happened in the 40's, 50's, 60's, 70's, 80's, 90's, whatever the hell we're supposed to call that "00" decade and it's still happening now in 2010. Honestly, cops cannot be blamed for this, however, a lack of cops can be blamed for events like this increasing in frequency.
The best we can hope for is that something like this doesn't happen to us, or if it does, we don't get prosecuted too harshly for using our "illegally carried" defensive sidearm to stop the assault and protect our brood.
THOSE CRIMINAL SHOULD BE CAUGHT IN A MATTER OF DAYS.
CAMERAS SURROUND THE TASTE AND DOWNTOWN
A TEAM OF DETECTIVES WILL PULL EVERY VIDEO IMAGE FROM EACH CAMERA AND REVIEW THOUSAND OF HOURS OF FOOTAGE. AND THEY WILL NOT DO ANY OVERTIME.
THEN THE DETECTIVES WILL SEND THE FOOTAGE TO THE VIDEO GUY AT HOMAN SQUARE WHO WILL ENHANCE THE PICS TO RETRIEVE A CLEAR PICTURE OF HIS FACE.
THE DICK'S WILL THEN SEND THE PIC TO THE SECRETARY OF STATE POLICE WHO WILL THEN USE THE FACIAL RECOGNITION PROGRAM FROM DRIVER LICENSE PHOTOS. AND THEY WILL DO THIS NOT ON OVERTIME.
THE BADGUYS PIC WILL BE SENT VIA THE INTRANET TO ALL UNIT AND AN INVESTIGATIVE ALERT WILL BE ISSUED HAVING PROBABLE CAUSE TO ARREST THE OFFENDER.
THE OFFENDER WILL BE BROUGHT IN BY THE TRU UNIT AND MEDIA AFFAIRS WILL SEND A TEAM TO SPLASH THE STORY ON THE SUNTIMES.
THE VICTIM WILL REFUSE TO PROSECUTE AND THE CASE IS CLOSED AND NOT A DIME WAS MADE IN OVERTIME.
OR
THE CASE CAN BE SUSPENDED IN 4 MINUTES.
Just got back from Summerfest in Milwaukee. The venue was bustling with well behaved people and it was very enjoyable, unlike Tasteless Chicago.
There is something to be said for the $ 10.00 entry fee....it brought out a better crowd. Rush really rocked as well!
Great time.
