Free Money!
This has been going on for two days it seems. And will be going on until Friday:
- For the second straight day, Chicago area residents lined up block after block, hour after hour, to receive at least $200 in disaster food stamps. CBS 2's Suzanne Le Mignot reports they braved the heat for a little flood relief.
Hundreds of people lined up in Canaryville Tuesday, trying to beat the summer heat. A fire department spokesman says more than a dozen people were treated at the scene, after being overcome by the heat. One person was taken to the hospital.
And it's in multiple locations (from the comments):
- Bt. 1199 is reporting that a large group of people have gathered at the public aid office in the 011th District due to the possibility that FEMA will be making emergency funds available to public aid recipients whom may have been affected by the recent floods. Approximately 500 people are currently lined up and are impeding traffic as viewed on PODS from the CPIC.
CPIC will continue to monitor.
A Plan 1 was called for this. - You should of seen the mob at 119th & Halsted yesterday and today. FEMA is passing out $600. checks to anyone who claims flood damage without any proof?
I saw one fellow, who resides on the 3rd floor, and inquired "what are you doing here"? He replied "the government is giving us money for the rain and I am getting mine". I pointed out he doesn't live in the basement and he responded "they don't care."
So all you have to do is live in the flood zone and they give you $600? You don't even have to prove damage or hardship, just an address? Instead of government cheese it's just cash now?
No wonder we're fucking broke.
No wonder we're fucking broke.

What flood?
Pakistan?
How long before Obama's piggybank is empty? How long before U.S. currency is considered worthless?
So lets see....I am a M/2, live in Mt Greenwood, basement flooded with 12 inches of raw sweage, have pictures and everything....am I getting anything???? FUCK NO!
hey the urban league needs money too!
I was watching the 10 o'clock news last night and almost fell out of my chair laughing when a f/1 was interview and stated " thank god for the president he really care about us " as she was waiting for another freebie. This just goes on and on, no money for more police ( yes I know this is federal money)but plenty of money for these lying scum bags who don't even reside in a flood zone. Come to think of it, where there any floods in chicago that even deserve this money?
This is BS. Where is MY FREE CHECK???? This is why you have to vote ALL these idiots out.
I am tired of working and having almost half my pay going to support those with their hand out.
Send some over to cut my lawn and paint the house for free - I am paying for them already might as well get some work out of them.
This country doesn't have the guts to do what is right. ALL welfare should be cut off. I don't care that people will die off. It needs to happen. There are too many free-loaders taking without contributing anything positive to society. Why is it the working mans job in life to feed these do-nothing, non-working, world class reproducers, crime infested, uneducated and ignorant, morally and ethically challenged, breeding rats? Free everything! Bullshit!! Welfare and free housing was meant to get good people through difficult times, not become a way of life. I don't know who is dumber, the ghetto-rats who don't actually realize how stupid and ignorant they are because they are DUMB or the liberal idiots who think these rats will assimilate and become productive if we (the working man) give give give!
I can't believe that we couldn't payout more money, I mean to stand there bustin your ass in that heat....
I wanna put in a beef with the union....WTF have we come to....the heat....the whinning
SCC:
You should see what happened in the 005th district a few days ago on days! Seems some coppers, while on duty, went over to the aide office right behind the 005th district station. Not only did they try to get aide, they tried to CUT TO THE FRONT OF THE BLOCK LONG LINE TO DO IT! I guess the residents were not too pleased and 'Mr. Personality' Capt. Jones had to come to the scene. This is truely one of the stories for the 'un-fucking-believeable' files.
How long before this gets really ugly??
Ch 9 news had a live broadcast this morning (I forget the loca), dude walked up behind the female reporter, started to rant, and scared the crap out of her.
Folks lined up since 9pm last night, and they're only giving the freebies to those who got tickets yesterday. The rest will get tickets today and have to go back tomorrow.
Boy am I surprised.
Sarcasm meter explodes.
"So all you have to do is live in the flood zone and they give you $600? You don't even have to prove damage or hardship, just an address? Instead of government cheese it's just cash now?"
Yep. U.S. Rep. Lashawn Ford was on one of the TV news stations the other day, live, on the scene. All you have to do is "prove" that you live in the "disaster area".
Mid-term elections coming up, y'know. Nothing says "vote for me" more than free money!
Maybe they should try drinking water for a change. Hard to hydrate on blue pop and hypnotic.
OT. Heres an idea to legitimize "merit".
For the districts: Sgts on each watch can nominate 1 person. Each candidate is reviewed and faces an oral board at the district that includes each the lt's, watch commander's and the district commander. from those boards, the district selects the candidate and they move on to an area selection process. Based on the percentage of merit picks available, each area selects candidates who then move on to a command staff selection board.
Units could select there candidates in the same way, but still only able to nominate one candidate.
Don't know if it is a workable plan, but having merit picks selected by their immediate supervisors and then through multiple selection boards might weed out some hacks.
i had to work (3) RDO's for the CTA special employment to earn $600! shame on me.
The Democratic Party is Buying Votes, With Your Money.
I saw a guy on TV News saying "Thank You President Obama,for Helping Us"
There is so much more to say, but the bottom line is; It's Over.
A Democracy Will Fail,When The Congress Realizes is Can Bribe The Citizens With Their Own Money.
PS; Have A Nice Day ???
Actually, I live in Garfield Ridge and our basement flooded as well. FEMA came out and we got a litle over $3000. Not bad at all... Doesn't make up for all of the inconvience but it helps none the less...
Meanwhile... I am a war veteran and the VA is sending me a bill because according to them i didnt rate benefits from the academy . What is goin on with this country what ever happened to hard work? "gotta get mine! " what bs! Go work for yours mope!
I witnessed this the other day at the Jewls on Ashland and Wellington..a congregation of about 200 m/1's and f/1's lined up around the corner. Kind of odd for that neighborhood..figured the store was giving something away for free. Wish I had the scoop so I's could of gots mines.
locked up someone last week with a crazy area code. I asked where that was from and he stated, "it's a government phone, they just gave it to me, and they refresh the minutes every month." he was 25. wtf
I watched the news with these people waiting in line for the money. If this doesn't show what happens to people who are dependent on government, I don't know what does. Look at yourselves people WTF. Democratic Party are you watching what you have done.
And no one mentions how short those districts were in manpower and resources to handle this ineptitude by FEMA and DHS.
OT how close are we to reaching goal of 100 officers retiring in 2011 , I hate to work another year under our fraidy cat leader
GOTTA RUN
BIG MEETING WITH GANG BANGERS
KNOCK IT OFF OR ELSE
They did this before at 119th & Halsted and the south suburbs after flooding. Every mutt and their bruther turned out to get their free LINK card. No way to proove these mutts were affected by the flooding..the state just gave them the cards with hundreds of dollars on them. Our tax money at work. The democrats just appeasing their voters.
maybe this is the "change" we have been promised?
I didnt see any lines in Lake Forrest,Naperville,Barrington,what could be a factor??
And the kicker? This story was aired about second in line on the Channel 9 news at noon, while the story of two of our coppers getting shot didn't air until about the 7th or 8th story...at 12:14 p.m. Fucking disgusting is an understatement.
And how many of those West Side savages getting "free" money actually suffered any kind of loss with the recent flooding? NONE. How many of those bastards own a home? NONE. They're all Section 8 leeches. More "free" money thrown at the non-contributors while I have friends that are still jumping through hoops with claims into their homeowners policy and FEMA applications.
Shit like this should serve as a reminder to any of you that still put forth more than the minimum effort while policing ghetto districts. With very few exceptions, I've always provided service on par with what these assholes contribute to society.
About the only ones that will come out ahead with this program are the dope boys.
what I woodn't give for $600 in govment cheeze.
off topic... what about the female p.o heading to work was in her personal vehicle and was shot at. maybe someone targeting the police? maybe they knew she was the police?? was she wearing a cover up or uniform visible? glad the p.o. is ok, hopefully this was just some random act and not an intentional shot taken at an officer.
This is STATE money, FEMA money hasn't even been tapped yet. Hey, bar-b-q for LABOR day is spensive.
How pathetic is our country right now. I am so glad I retired with the 55+. God Bless you all.
I live on the third floor... but my storage locker with tools, personables, electronic items and dry food goods was in the basement floating! Just because I live on the third floor does not mean I wasn't affected...get real!
I LOVE IT 2% 2% 2% 2% 2% 2% 2% 2% 2% 2% 2% 2% 2% 2% 2% 2% 2% 2% 2% 2% 2% 2% 2% 2% 2% 2% 2% 2% 2% 2% 2% 2% 2% 2% 2% 2% 2% 2% 2% 2% 2% 2% 2% 2% 2% 2% 2% 2% 2% 2% 2% 2% 2% 2% 2% 2% 2% 2% 2% 2% 2% 2% 2% 2% 2% 2%
And did anyone see the news broadcast that showed the people lined up waiting? Nuff said....
They're still giving out food too. They have a truck that drives all over the south side escorted by a car from HQ. Its billed as some kind of Michelle Obama giveaway.
This is precisely the sort of bullshit that must end.
We cannot continue to allow an entire class of people subsist on the productive efforts on another class of people.
The allure of 'free money' is one of the central precepts of socialism; they promise you an insignificant reward of free food or free rent in exchange for your undying loyalty, glued to the bottom of the barrel.
Social welfare programs like this do not help those in need; they create needy people.
The scenes on television are so off-putting that I think they'd make most reasonable people with an actual claim simply give up right there.
There have got to be a lot of elderly people who suffered damage -- maybe they haven't even been able to get that wet stuff out of the basement by themselves -- and they are simply going to stay home and breathe mold rather than standing in their walker in this crazy mob in 90-degree heat. You gotta be kidding.
Thanksgiving comes, and Christmas, and it'll be the warmly-dressed morbidly obese again, shouting and grappling for free thirty-pound Butterballs comin' down the chute. The truly needy certainly won't be wheeling their little oxygen tank onto three buses to get to the dangerous neighborhood where these "distributions" are carried out. Too late, all gone anyway. The "workers" will see to that.
I don't know what's funnier -- the "food drives" conducted by huge supermarket chains where you are supposed to buy a can of soup and drop it into a bin, or the one where you're supposed to leave food out for the mail carrier to "pick up."
This is like a Biblical plague. Let the f___ing locusts strip everything.
Mo money, Mo money!!!!
Typical..Keep giving out free handouts to the dead beats of the world and the entitlement crowd will continue to grow and a few of them will continue to vote democratic. What a SHAM! Sad.
Is Oriole park in the flood zone ?
What a joke! Nothing but ghetto trash on the news gettin' theirs!
While long lines and jammed state public aid offices are still the norm everywhere else, Channel 7 News is reporting that FEMA offices where proof of damage must be presented are "surprisingly quiet" today.
For what it's worth; exactly two (2) people were shown sitting with FEMA workers filling out forms. Both of these people were white.
Channel 7 reported that yesterday 99% of the applicants were approved for payments of $200 to $950 without having to prove any loss.UN-Fucking BELIEVABLE. 3 years, 10 months & 30 days, and it's good bye to obama land.I'll be 10k miles away on a white sand beach, perfect weather and were a dollar is a dollar, and the real parents raise their children. NOT THE 3 G's. GOVERNMENT, GANGS & GRANDPARENTS.
" I don't know who is dumber, the ghetto-rats who don't actually realize how stupid and ignorant they are because they are DUMB or the liberal idiots who think these rats will assimilate and become productive if we (the working man) give give give!
9/01/2010 08:59:00 AM"
you forgot to mention those who continue to not bother to vote.
I suggested they use the wristband system but the fat fucks in line couldn't fit them around their fat fuckin' wrists.
My basement flooded twice this year, I applied online on FEMA'sp
website, they came out, looked at the basement and said" No,
your not eligable. WTF!!!
30,000 showed up in Atlanta for Section 8 vouchers two weeks ago. 3rd World style chaos ensued.
Arm your family to the teeth, this sucker's going down.
Hey U.F.F.B.....
What you saw in 005 is the future of this country. In places like Zimbabwe, the armed gangs that pass for a police force strong arm the foreign aid from the poor in the streets.
Think about it. Who does Obama remind you of more....Mugabe,Castro,Chavez, Baby Doc Duvalier or Washington,Lincoln,Truman,Eisenhower?
The first group, hands down.
Peoples wealth, pensions, 401s, etc... are being liquidated to pay the rabble that Obama/Daley rely on to win.
Channel 7 saying the State of Illinois is handing out $2.6 million dollars for food aid to LINK card hiolders. Where did this money come from, are votes being "bought" or is this only a down payment???
Absolutely nuts - Quinn looked like he got caught with his hand in the cookie jar!
It is for the flood yet to come, you know, the one Noah is building an ark for that will drown the philistines.
The animals were fighting,but what could you expect from jagoffs who never had to work for anything! love it they think barry obama printed and gave them the cash not the hard working blue collar tax payers!

I am calling "bullshit" on this no way are any coppers this stupid! Or are they??
there will be lots of drunk domestics tonight once they all cash OUR checks!!!!!!!!!!!
Is there a north side location? I want some.
Today I heard F/1s and F/2s bragging about the free money being given away. They tried to whisper so nobody could hear them, but their whisper was awfully loud.
And it is true no proof is needed so anyone can get it, but of course those who really deserve it won't get shit. Thanks OBUMMER!
The Department of Water Management flooded my property and I didn't get squat from my insurance company or the City.
Fixing my place cost over $7000.00.
Since I work all day, I don't have time to line up for free money.
Unreal.
Those people in line don't exactly look like they need 'food assistance' either....
this is just a symptom of a bigger problem. The democratic leadership gets its power from keeping the african american community poor and dependent on them and this is an example.i saw on the news that there were floods in park ridge and jefferson park but you did not see these residents waiting outside all night for a government handout. If you want to clean up the city of chicago,the black community and the leaders need to get honest. A question the community needs to ask is how come in park ridge or winnetka or the far northside you do not see these shootings even with less police? In the poorer black communities it has become acceptable to let government solve your problems,it has become acceptable to call the police to raise your kid and it has become acceptable to have shootings at block parties and after school dismissals. So all the police and programs and government help will not do a thing unless the poorer black communities changes their mentality. This feel good mentality how its everyones problem is a way to deflect a simple fact that these shootings are not happening in the white community.the streets will not ever be safe unless the black community steps up and cleans up their community.
OT;
The area 4 daily deployments came out for 01Sept and there were 22 locations in 011 where the "Predictive Analytics" unit feels that there may be issued. 22 LOCATIONS each is about 2 square blocks which covers almost the ENTIRE 11th District. It doesnt take a rocket scientist to say there is going to be a shooting in 011 tonight.
I traveled to New Orleans a number of times since 1986. I feel very distraught over the hurricane, what its name, that I feel only money will help me regain my sanity. SO GIMME GIMME GIMME, GIMME SOME MONEY, YOU KNOW, CAN YOU SPARE A LITTLE JINGLE MAN. GIMME, GIMME, GIMME.
i had to work (3) RDO's for the CTA special employment to earn $600! shame on me.
I had to work 1 1/2 RDO's at OHARE to earn $600!
No wonder this country is broke. The federal gov is mired with goofs. And how much money in the Billions was thrown at Iraq for re-building with NOTHING to show for it. There is absolutely no accountability with the feds and it shows with our very own leader.

There's no way to legitimize merit. They squeeze through the cracks. Stop the merit system now.
Just like the hurricane Katrina give away at Operation Push. 200 N.O. residents relocated to Chicago and 10,000 show up.
Where is Fitzgerald, the US Attorney, with all this fraud going on, right under his winehead nose?
Oooop, I forgot, the offenders are all Obama voters and can't be touched.
Maybe if he investigates he might find a copper and then he will be happy to send him to jail.
The 005th District story is true.........
Please tell me you saw the news with the I'm not a gang member I'm a gang reverend. The newsman chuckled saying they never received a press release from gang members before.
Tomorrow morning the gang members with attorney are holding a press conference for JW. They are angry they were tricked into coming to a meeting when all they had to do was be asked to come.
They said JW harrassed and threatened them with governing these kids and being responsible for all the shooting and killing each other.
Best was they said the violence got bad when the mayor's corruption took over the city and he neglected the neighborhoods.
More free money!
"SEATTLE -- A woman has sued American Airlines, saying she was traumatized when the plane she was on ran off the runway at Chicago's O'Hare International Airport.
In the lawsuit filed Tuesday in U.S. District Court, passenger Jewel Thomas said she has suffered severe mental and emotional problems because of the incident on Sept. 22, 2008."

*******
Especially when they advertise the mail carrier pickup in the paper and on the radio, AND send a post card to every postal customer, and then - when actually delivering mail on the target date, LEAVE THE CAN OF FOOD RIGHT IN THE MAILBOX ALONG WITH THAT DAYS MAIL! What a joke and waste of money...
You have over 40.5 million people in the USA on food stamps and it's growing at the rate of over 500,000 people PER MONTH!
Additionally the web site frac dot org that tracks this stuff claims that for every two people collecting food stamps there is a third person that qualifies for them and is not receiving them (YET).
So that puts the total poverty number over 60 million and growing at 750,000 per month in the USA.
With a USA population of around 300 mil, we now have 20% of the population in poverty.
Twenty eff-ing percent!
Washington is blind, the jobs continue to leave the country and the jobs that remain are seeing massive wage cuts. Politicians still catering to multi-national corporate interest.
The bailouts are not working. The nation is bankrupt and just wait until after the elections when the real austerity programs start being announced heh...ain't gonna be pretty me thinks.
"The democratic leadership gets its power from keeping the african american community poor and dependent on them and this is an example."
The squeaky wheel gets the grease. The black community leaders know this.
If you bitch loud enough, long enough, people will give you money just so you shut up and go away.
Worse yet, the government is always more than happy to give YOUR money away.
The question now is, what are YOU going to do about it?
November is coming.
Vote them ALL OUT. It's the only thing they understand.
Republicrat. Democan. All incumbents must go.
Clean house.
"...no way are any coppers this stupid! Or are they??"
First day on the job, kid?
Some coppers ARE this stupid.
You know them, the guys that burn out the good restaurants by bringing their whole family on on their RDO, the a-holes that create a scene when they get charged by a new employee, the ones who feel they're ENTITLED to whatever break they get.
Do you remember the video of the New Orleans cop loading up a shopping cart at the department store after the huricane?
Odds are you work with someone dumb enough to do the very same thing.
Look at the cop who just got jammed up in another tow truck scandal.
Cook County jail is full of guys who thought they were smarter than the guy in the next cell...
"I didnt see any lines in Lake Forrest,Naperville,Barrington,what could be a factor??"
Well those nitwits need to get on the ball, too!
Blagojevich is gone - they need to hit the polling places and vote out as many of the socialist scourge as they can!
If you've got friends/relatives in the 'burbs, start spreading the word!
This is especially true in DuPage county. A friend of mine who works the polls for the Republicans says that in the past few elections he's seeing more and more city Deomcrats working the polling places, in venues where they've never seen them before!
"Democratic Party are you watching what you have done."
Oh they're watching, and enjoying their successes every election day!
Let's drop the hammer on them in November, before it's too late.
Teach a man to fish, he eats for a lifetime. Give a man a fish, he votes Deomcrat.
i knew ''people'' were stupid...im just amazed just how many stupid and selfish people there are. society is a divided and angry camp. 1 group demanding more and 1 group tired of getting squeezed.
"Yep. U.S. Rep. Lashawn Ford..."
Oops, sorry. La Shawn is a State Representative, not U.S.
He needs to go next term, too.
"How long before Obama's piggybank is empty?"
Trouble is, the piggy bank is full of our money.
When it's all gone, all that will be left is the "change" everyone was so fired up about a couple of years ago.
Let's bring the change to them come November.
Just go out and vote, vote, vote in November. WE can change this.
So much more effective than govamint cheeze.
Listen fellow officers, If you flooded and you lost food as a result of that flooding, you are entitled to this food. Because you are not accustomed to taking, you feel you are not entitled to this service but you are. You have paid for this in your taxes and charitable contributions. Don't be afraid. Apply for FEMA. MT. Greenwood? You better look into that. When I lived in Mt Greenwood and flooded I got everything Fema had to offer and none of my neighbors did til I told them, because a co-worker told me. Check the facts yourself. Don't listen to hearsay.
You kno'.............we are doing this all to ourselves. We as taxpayers are letting this all happen, right here, right now! Why are not going out there and protesting against those who are robbing us blind?!! We continue to give all kinda things for FREE! Where will this end? Well, its pretty much in the cards that all thing free shit is not sustainable. I see what I see with my own eyes and I see the liberals are sinking this country into a socialist state. They all say no, however, they have their eyes closed. (Maybe) they should be taxed more than the conservatives, because it seems to me that they have all the answers with throwing money at the problem. Typical Democrats. Instead of fixing the problem, throw money at it, to go away!
Ever notice we have the fattest poor people on earth?
After the 1994 earthquake in Southern California, Dave Letterman did a "Top 10 List" of "Good things about living in L.A.".
#1 was "FEMA money!"
Just A Civilian (who is tired of giveaways of public money)
This is Fucking bullshit!!!
Vote them out,hang them all!!!
There are cops cashing in on this also. I saw the applications sitting behind a district desk. Its sad even police are looking for the free money.
Our tax money at work!!
