Just Nasty
And surprise surprise - another parolee charged:
A man on parole for armed robbery was charged Monday with beating and sexually abusing a 65-year-old man with a tree branch downtown.
Cortez Foster, 45, of the 1400 block of South Canal Street, was charged with aggravated criminal sexual assault, armed robbery and aggravated battery, according to Cook County State’s Attorney’s office spokeswoman Tandra Simonton.
Foster, who was serving a 20-year sentence at the Centralia Correctional Center for a 2000 armed robbery conviction before being paroled last May, is scheduled to appear in bond court today.
Twenty years, out in ten. Someone somewhere is going to have to work on some tightening of "truth in sentencing" laws.
And how is it that the newspapers were running with the victim was a homeless guy (as if that excused the particularly heinous nature of the crime), but now that it turns out to be some guy from Schiller Park, coverage suddenly drops into low gear? It couldn't have anything to do with this line that appeared in the original Sun Times story, then disappeared from on-line versions of the story shortly thereafter:

- While Guerrero said there was no reason to believe the attack was racially motivated, he questioned what could drive someone to harm a homeless person in such a heinous way.
Things that make you go, "Hmmm."

Yeah Anita, a man brutally beaten and sodomized with a tree by a lifetime dangerous criminal out way way too early, is a moral victory versus if the victim would have had a legal concealed handgun and shot the scumbag.
Another asshole from the "mission". Remove the mission and the el and downtown will be inhabitable by non sub-humans.
I'd like to thank mayor daley for providing the proper environment for savages to prey on innocent victims, and governor quinn for letting them out early enough to prey on them some more.
Democrats. Tough on crime.
i hate this city. i cant wait to retire and get the hell out of here!
What do you want to bet Cortez Foster was paroled to save money by Gov. "I LOVE CRIMINALS" Quinn as a cost saving measure?
1400 block of Canal huh...who is paying for this POS to get free meals and housing at that mission. Guess shortshanks didn't build PG mission far enough away from his precious downtown backyard.
The offender has three convictions for robbery. He shouldn't have been on the street. Our system is broke. Blame this one on liberal policies and wanting to give this guy a chance to rehabilitate himself.
The bad guy lived at 1400 South Canal? Isn't that the Pacific Garden Mission? What could go wrong?

3-Month Nightmare Emerges in Rape Inquiry
By JAMES C. McKINLEY and ERICA GOODE
CLEVELAND, Tex. — A year ago, the 11-year-old girl who the police say was the victim of repeated gang rapes in this East Texas town was an outgoing honor roll student, brimming with enthusiasm, who went on hikes and planted trees with a youth group here.
“She has always been a really bubbly child,” said Brenda Myers, director of the Community and Children’s Impact Center, who worked with her. “She always had a smile on her face.”
But in October, just after starting sixth grade, the girl became withdrawn, Ms. Myers said, and in November, she stopped attending the center’s meetings.
What happened during those months is the subject of a criminal investigation that has sent waves of shock and sorrow through this impoverished town and has provoked anger across the nation.
The police say the girl was raped on at least six occasions, from Sept. 15 to Dec. 3. Nineteen boys and men, ages 14 to 27, have been charged in connection with the rapes, the most recent arrest last Wednesday.

Something is not right with the parents account of this, according to police, the parents never reported that anything was amiss, according to the parents, they reported the rape 3 days after they found out. Three days?
Something isn't right in society, I would actually not be surprised if this happened in Chicago. As it is I can scratch Cleveland, Texas off my list of retirement places.
Don't know the demographics of the victim except her father is named Juan and all 19 offenders are black.
Now why would something like this not make national news? An 11 year old girl gang raped by 19 men over a three month period? And she lives with both parents and they don't figure something is amiss,
Cleveland, Texas is near Houston. Not on my list of places to visit anytime soon. Or ever.
Nothing about this story surprises me. The beat goes on in "The City That Works".
probably doesn't live at pgm. i'd try and find out and if it's a lie, drop another charge on him.
At least it's easy to keep this kind off the street. call the 800 number and get that parole warrant. no bond worries for this fuckstick!
Nothing better tha nrunning a CQH on someone to see they only di 8 years for murder. I love illinois and crook county!!!
Unfortunately these zombies are all over the district after dark. Be prepared to defend yourself by any means necessary. Great work guys!
Quinn needed all the votes he could get, so he let's a few hundred felons go.
What's the problem? Quinn's a Illinois politician, all that matters are votes, no matter where they come from...you know sorta' like felons for felons.
Call me ex-Illini come June.
Paroled last may? Could it be one of Quinn's early release screw-ups?
as a south loop resident i'm surprised this doesn't happen more often. theses savages roam at will taking what they want. this particular guy was always at wabash and balbo with the rest of that predator crew. the hotels and restaurants and even left wing columbia college have complained but you can count on them to be there every night.
more and more people will avoid shopping and dining downtown. but hey...crime is down.
its only a hate-crime if.....
Eric Holter says black on white crime can never be a hate crime. That door only swings one way.
I challenge anyone here from 001 for A/4 to tell me the last time an offender for a non-domestic violent CSA in downtown Chicago was NOT from the Pacific Garden mission, whether the old building on State or the new mission on Canal.
This shit has been going on for 20 years. And if I recall correctly, the Pacific Garden mission is basically the brainchild and baby of some North Shore churches.
Close this fucking atrocity down!
Give the guy a city job.
Can't be any worse than the twice convicted agg assault on police/fireman that works at the city clerks office at 47/Kedzie.
Dads old partner pointed him out.
"Remove the mission and the el and downtown will be inhabitable by non sub-humans."
Wait, what? Remove the Mission and L (don't remove the L, dumbass), and . . . downtown will be habitable by sub-humans? I am just removing all of your negatives.
Another idiot heard from.
I believe ther should be a law that prevents anyone from having a tree branch. That would assure that this never happens again
We request an immediate investigation into the unlawful use of the sacred tree's appendage. Also, that all plant life are extended the same considerations as useless humans, in that, Chicago extends "Sanctuary City" to said species.
What vicious savages on these streets. And current State law precludes most viable methods of self defense. What a screwed up mess this State of lllinois has become.
this is where they should elect a special sentencing judge. they have special pros, so why not spec sentencing. the sentencing judge should make sure mr cortez if found guilty should not be rehabilitated during his incarceration but in rehabilitation while incarceration
017 had armed robbery arrestee who was on parole and is suspect in at least two other robberies. Good work 017 and how's that great new commander you have now?
The problem is that cowardice is the norm. No one wants to call it like it is for fear of offending minorities.
Even the Chicago Code wimped out when the "cop nightmare," the dream we have of a weapon not working when confronting a bad guy, took place in Cabrini and the offender was white. Really? A white criminal in Cabrini Green? He would have been killed before he got inside.
There are precious few with the guts to call it like it is any more and the result is black offenders taking advantage of the situation.
i saw the victim at NWH. he was beaten to a pulp, could hardly make his face out. I thought he was in a car accident. Horrendous.
The system works again!
For Criminals that is...
MURDER IN BROAD DAYLIGHT IN HEART OF CITY -- "WILDING" CONTINUES
ROBBER PUSHES 68-YEAR-OLD WOMAN, AN INNOCENT BYSTANDER, DOWN STAIRS AT FULLERTON "L" STOP; VICTIM DIES
All for a lousy Iphone.
UPDATED 03/29/11 1:32 p.m.
"CHICAGO (CBS) – An elderly woman has died after an attack in broad daylight at the busy Fullerton Avenue ‘L’ stop, but she wasn’t even the intended target.
"As CBS 2’s Susanna Song reports, police say on Monday afternoon, the robber was trying to get away at the busy Red-Brown-Purple line stop, which is one of the system’s busiest.
"In the process, he pushed a 68-year-old woman who was standing at the top of the stairs leading back down from the ‘L’ platform, and left her critically injured.
"The woman was taken to Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center and died sometime Tuesday, police said.
"The man had stolen a woman’s iPhone on a Chicago Transit Authority Brown Line train. He was pushing through the crowd to escape as the victim chased him.
"Police say he bumped the 68-year-old woman right as he got to the stairs, and knocked her down.
“She tumbled down, and...there was blood everywhere, and they weren’t sure if she was going to make it,” said DePaul student Ariane Ackerberg. “They said he just left her there and just kept running with the other lady’s phone.”

Mr. Mayor-Elect -- HELP!
Your predecessor lost control of even the high-rent central city area a long time ago. We're sure he didn't mention this to you when he was handing you the keys.
Downtown and the Near North Side need to be saturated with high-visibility uniformed police with dogs, shotguns, and carbines to stop the cell-phone "flash mobs" who commute in from the South and West Sides on public transit and terrorize the area, hundreds strong. The Loop is no longer safe even in the daytime. Mass arrests should be the order of the day.
...and what is Mayor Daley doing when he's not in China? Ramming through a billion-dollar bond issue for new airport runways the airlines don't even want, pushing $685 million for a 1940s-speed rail line to St. Louis, and another multi-billion-dollar redundant rail line to O'Hare.
Mayor Daley will be gone soon -- and WE NEED TO HIRE MORE POLICE -- NOW!
I feel very bad for Cortez , if he was related to the mayor he never would of been charged with any crime.
We already know what the coverage would be like if it was a white guy who had attacked a black man in this manner.
The outcry would be never ending.
the Colt .45 Automatic is the solution to these type problems.

3-Month Nightmare Emerges in Rape Inquiry

Hi, that was national news a few weeks ago, including a big scandal about the NYTimes' reporting of the story.
"I saw the victim at NWH. he was beaten to a pulp, could hardly make his face out. I thought he was in a car accident. Horrendous."
--3/29/2011 12:10:00 PM
...but if you make sure to take his money and valuables, it's not a hate crime, just a "random act."
*
this is a sentence of life in prison ,how in the world can a man put a tree branch up another man behind what is wrong with this person . they should investigate and make sure no one else has been hurt at pacific garden arent there children who stay there too this is too sick we need to open a mental hospital where these people can be helped .
Once upon a time the loop had a curfew for "those people" !!!
Eric Holder is part of Oquota's promise of " change" Disgraceful conduct towards all races.
The poor fella just wanted to see the BEAN.
I agree with a previous post. If Tree Branches were registered (TBOID Card) there would be less of this going on.
WE need more after dark, downtown park anal missions.
just axin
....we need to open a mental hospital where these people can be helped .

I like your thinking.

My Kid made me a cool Watchmen Pin like the one worn by the Comedian. (You know the smiley face with the blood on it.)
Maybe I should patrol the parks at night dressed as "Officer Old School", or "Captian Ass-Woopin."
With the right fabric I might look good in tights???
But Seriously, I still love this City, even with it's problems. Felt terrible about the Gentleman in the park, the Lady from the El made me want to cry. And I have seen just about everything.
I don't carry for myself anymore, I carry for everyone else. It didn't used to be this way.
