Technical Difficuilties (UPDATED)


Blogger crashed Wednesday.

To fix it, they had to make the entire network "Read Only" and then they removed all posts from Wednesday evening onward. We've been checking it every couple of hours from various locations, but we weren't even able to post an update to let everyone know what was going on. This gave us a mini-break and allowed us to finish some packing for a weekend trip you may have heard about.

It also has put us two days behind in posting threads, two days behind in going through comments and from what we can tell, may have wiped out dozens or hundreds of comments from Wednesday onward. So if something is missing, or you had some brilliant observation, or if you had solved world hunger and brought peace to the globe, it might be gone forever.

In the meantime, we're going to try to put things together here before departure. Updates will be sporadic.

Open post for now.

UPDATE: The Thursday threads are back in place but without the comments that were posted in each thread. As far as we can account, the total number of comments lost is around 100 or so. It is possible that at some point, the comments will reappear. The last time this happened, the comments returned about 10 months later, so any brilliance (or the polar opposite of brilliance) may pop up in a year's time.

Navy Pier was not shut down due to any wilding incident. I know several people that work there and this never happened. So even though there are situations happening downtown, Navy Pier was not under attack.

A National Police Memorial Memo;
Barry Obama & his wife have invited " rapper " COMMON to entertain at the White House.
Obama describes COMMON as a " social conscience ".
A rap by COMMON called Assata, glorifies Assata Shakur, the convicted murderer of a New Jersey State Trooper in the 70's.
Other themes in COMMON'S rap's are the shooting of Police Officers & the burning of President Bush.
If Barry shows up at any services & speaks, remember this as he talks.
Thanks Barry for the " change & hope "

supt mccarthy , please do not approve a police detail for former mayor daley , let's reduce # of exempts and demote current exempts with more than 1 merit promotion
sgt lt capt , this will be a good
start in your career , then get rid of all our gun carrying office police , put them back in a beat car , consider closing districts like 13 and 21 , no lock up , low crime rate , 9 bt cars , could easily be covered by other districts good luck

Well this time out may give us all a moment to remember the Police Memorial Vigil tonight. For those of us who could not attend, for those that did and the many, many, many Officers who gave their lies and made the memorial necessary. Thank You, each and everyone of you for doing the jobs you do!

Repeat of a comment i made about your wilding - what we call steaming - problem in your tourist avenue.

Film it.

There's a lot of reasons everything, everywhere is falling to pieces but the biggest single one is the media not telling the truth when it conflicts with liberal ideals. They've been doing it at least 40 years, maybe longer.

25 years ago you had to watch your hometown getting slowly destroyed and there was nothing you could do about it but nowadays you can. If there's a place where true reality is consistently repeating then instead of talk about getting all Charlie Bronson on them, get all Charlie Spielberg on them instead and stick it on the internet.

Guerrilla media.

No-one gets serious promotion unless they're prepared to conform to the PC version of the truth - so there's no support from up top. There's no support from the media and because of that there's only limited support from the public. The way out of the trap is to show people the media version of the truth has been a pack of lies for decades.

Off-duty. Camera phone. Internet.

Guerrilla media.

Anyway, the whole Pat Camden thing. I'm not sure about if it's a good thing for anyone from our side to be talking. But I am pretty sure somebody should have stayed here and been talking about my pension to IL state legislators. I can't think that Pat Camden had to go to National Memorial on my dime! (Correction: My stack of Benjamins)

There would be a whole lot more calls going to Springfield if they were talking about taxing the pensions of the retirees. Do you think you guys could make some calls for the working coppers?

Hmmmm...

Is SCC under attack? O_o

A former mayor and a former stupidintendent so desperately tried to out and silence the blogmeister and those who post the 411 on the institutionalized crime and fuckery that is Daley Inc.

We suspect 9.5 to try even harder or lean on his big money people to "see what they can do" about SCC. Can't have the sheeple being exposed to cask strength truth & reality without a generous dilution of fuckery and a donkey-dung garnish that local media provides.

Heh... The front and back doors have been kicked clear off the hinges and halfway up the stairs.

(Gawda'mighty do we miss those days)

Heh-Heh... Let the Shot Gunners do their righteous work just like The Marines did at Belleau Wood. We might turn this thing around after all.

Heh-Heh...

Tongues are starting to wag about the wildings in 001 & 018 seeing as how local media is "biting" SCC's style and "SkillZ..."

Okay, since you're SO well-versed in his lyrics, recite the lines after he talks about burning Bush.

as in, there are, effectively, no rules for the miscreants you've described, so figure it out what rules you are willing to impose upon yourself and your loved ones.

I don't know the specific answer to that question but the general answer is...

If you get your head straight that anyone hostile forcing their way into your home when your family is there is *bleep* and you really get that idea set and concreted in your mind with what you'll use and how you'll do it and all the rest then the chance of your family being targeted will go down 80% just from how you walk.

The other 20% of the time you might get crucified but i reckon that's good odds.

As an ET, I'm highly amused by these comments. First of all, if they send us back to districts, there would be barely enough ETs to cover one per watch per district. At least north. South isn't any better in terms of manpower. So, then you have RDOs. Time due. And your medical. And who is going to maintain equipment? You think the districts will? Ha.

Maybe the Lieutenant who got his ass dumped to 010 should just sign time due slips for the troops and shut the hell up. If you can fuck up a good assignment like Forensics, you obviously don't have 2 brain cells to rub together.

Someone breaks in with you home, you got a green light. Fire at will. Zip your lips,"I was afraid, I want my lawyer" is all you say, tell your wife to shut up too. In the rush of adrenaline people often say stupid shit.
If he turns to run before you shoot, let him go. If he's in your garage I'd wouldn't leave my back door. I'd make a lot of noise, call 911 and wouldn't shoot unless he's flashes a weapon, in other counties in the state no problem, but Anita likes to screw over taxpayers, it just ain't worth many thousands in legal bills, or a chance with a stupid ass cook county jury for a lawnmower.
All you need is a foid, you can't be charged with the bullshit registration crap if you used your gun at home for self-defense.
