Ah Summer
And seriously, it was a pleasant night last night. Not like at the end of a string of 90 degree days such as we might be experiencing shortly:
- At least 14 people were shot in separate incidents around the city, beginning with a violent half hour on the South Side.
Between 10:39 p.m. and 11:01 p.m. in the Back of the Yards and Englewood neighborhoods, five people were shot and taken to area hospitals, police said.
At 1:40 a.m. in the South Shore neighborhood, a 45-year-old man was driving when he suffered a gunshot wound to his shoulder...
[...] At 1:50 a.m., five people were shot--all in the same incident--in the Lawndale neighborhood.
[...] In the Logan Square neighborhood, at least three people were shot near the intersection of North Springfield Avenue and North Harding Avenue...
So how is Rahm's plan of making sure the neighborhoods are as safe as the lakefront working out now? Seems like the citizens of the west and south sides were onto something when they complained that if it doesn't happen downtown, no one cares. In fact, we find ourselves not caring right now, but that might be because most of us are on furlough right now.

Just curious if new supe has shell casings stuck into soles of his shoes again.
Harding and Springfield do NOT intersect. They run parallel to each other at 3932 W. and 3900 W., respectively. What E/W street?
Springfield and Harding? Hmmm. Can someone tell me how I get there?
These are all lies. Rahm has put nearly 1,000 more officers on the street. It is impossible that this could take place with 1,000 more officers on the street.
Perhaps it's the heat making people see things that aren't there again, just like it did at the beach.
Now take a drink of this KoolAid. It's good for you.
Anybody noticing the surge in search warrants the past 3-4 weeks? The generals are running around like chickens with their heads cut off.
I can't believe that in order to generate CB# two watches are having a competition. The P.O. that gets the most arrests/CB# gets a night of free food and drinks. FUCKING IDIOTS! Any P.O. who participates is a FUCKING IDIOT!!!
14---thats all--I think the city should have "RAP" night for the young black children instead of country night on friday at the taste. Theres not a country music fan with a half of a brain in this area that would go to the taste on friday night. Do you actually think there would be a PROBLEM if they had "RAP FEST" -- LET IT BURN
OT but important.
every Copper should patronize this shop that is being persecuted by the government

Hey. I thought guns were illegal???
"So how is Rahm's plan of making sure the neighborhoods are as safe as the lakefront working out now?"
Perfectly, been to the Lakefront lately?
You know, that's just another example of how Sarah Palin is out of control.
Maybe the black and brown children should never have had access to those government sponsored racist guns.
Hey, didn't Obama have the ATF send a couple of thousand guns down to the "brown people" in Mexico so they could kill each other and our border patrol agents? IS THAT THE GOVERNMENT SPONSORED RACISM YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT, ASSHAT?
What's the communist party answer? Do you need to consult Bill Ayers first to get his advice? We'll give you a little time to meet him at St. Sabina's with that fake ass communist priest you like to kiss ass to. Why don't you make it a multi faith effort and invite Jeremiah Wright?
Then you and Rahm and Ayers and Phake Phlager can all bad mouth America together with Wright. Hell, you may as well call Jesse Jackass and Farakhan in there too. You all hate America and its Constitution. You can have a little socialist suck off session.
009 has been a madhouse these last 2 nights. At least 7 different shootings, with 8 people shot.
okay second city make the story of the incident in new york where the supt and brother was drunk and used the 'n' word and they had to call a 10-1.by the rant blog
It was one of those nights where every single car was on a crime scene or at the hospital, and then another shooting...and then another shooting. We are so thin its scary. Stay safe out there brothers!
Life in shitcago when the mayor has 2 assholes. One he poops from, the other is a puppet superintendent.
Yeah, I don't know why people think it's so dangerous here in Baghdad....we sure as shit didn't have any 15 people shot last night.
Of course, they prefer explosives around here. More bang for your dinar and all that.

I can tell you, the entire city was in a backlog. The city refuses to address one topic that will relieve almost every crime problem and most of the causes of grievances from officers, and that is to hire more police. Until that happens, these city and department leaders will continue to beat the heads of taxpayers, and police into the wall

"Chicago's New Top Cop: A Race Baiter That Stands Against the U.S. Constitution" by Warner Todd Huston

Separate articles critical of Supt. Garry McCarthy and black flash mobs/wildings terrorizing Chicago.
Thank You Fox Sunday Morning ( Dane Placko and Michael Flannery )for still fighting to get those Police Officers back on the street from " Security Detail's " Daley and Burkes. Please keep the flame to the fire. Make the new Police Superintendent make a DECISION TO END THEM.
Good news for all you tact wannabes. The word at 35th Mich is that the Supt is actually looking into the provision that the Il State Police used in reference to the goatee. They still look professional with their goatees, becuase they are trimmed mice and neat. Apparently, he believes it's time for officers to make their own decision on whether or not CPD needs to have that facial hair regulation. There are going to be a ton of officers voting in favor of the McCarthy-espque goatee. This should be in writing asap. Good job Boss!!!
that's ok as long as daley , burke and neely are safe
with their body guards you could fill every car in 13 on the second watch
OT: Here's my humble entry for the "Supe" how does MacAttack sound? Not for his crime fighting efforts but for his physical assault on Police officers just doing their job...try it...you'll like it...
And we're going to be a World Class city....
WGN Radio had a guest from some organization in Toronto, who gave her views about when Toronto hosted the G-8 Summit and described the 1,100 arrests for all sorts of crimes by the mob riots, fires, window smashing, looting, etc. even with their Nat'l Guard, & multi agencies working. They're still paying out to restore their downtown as the cost was in the millions.
They advised Chicagoans (CPD ?) to take their vacations during the time of the G8, and to avoid downtown & nearby (as a tourist destination).
So if at this time we can't find manpower to keep Downtown & beach areas safe from thug mobs, how in the world will we control outsider mobs with an entirely different agenda of civil disruption. This is a perfect opportunity for Chicago's very own to riot & loot like it was 1968 all over again.
No plans for Chicago to hire more police yet.
wtf car from 22 , 1st watch acting as a taxi transporting a citizen from 119th and western to 63rd and wood st , call human services , drop citizen in 22 and patrol west beverly
Can't find the Logan Square info, but I'm confident North Harding and North Springfield don't intersect. Don't those people have actual editors anymore? Was it North and Springfield and North and Harding? Someone from 025 know?

Intresting, the 007th District Commander is of the quantity over quality mindset with respect to arrest activity. This is the activity he prefers of his discretionary resources ( tactical teams and the like ) Yet, there is no positive effect on the crime conditions? Hmmm. When the area was saturated with resources from city wide units ( now decentralized) with a mandate of seeking impact type arrests over petty crimes, thier presence in the actionable zones reduced the occurance of violent acts. Here's the thing, the focus on quality of life issues does not work, it soaks up man power, that could be better utilized just being up, avaliable and roaming. A visual deterrant, with capibility of overwhelming response capability.

This antagonism, this refusal to acknowledge reality, its all part of a two prong attack on unions. Rahm Emmanuel wants to goad the police and the teachers into striking so he can crush the unions like Governor Scott Walker is trying to do in Wisconsin.
Rahm Emmanuel wants to look like a thrifty budget hawk who doesn't take crap from state workers so those two groups are getting the horns now. The firefighters and librarians will be next.
The GAY PRIDE PARADE will be today.
The mayor will be there.
Most of the aldermen will be there.
Probably both senators, most congressmen will be there.
Anita Alvarez and Pat Quinn will be there.
All of them will be jockeying to get time in front of the TV camera and they will be working the crowds of the GAY PRIDE PARADE.
How many of them went to the ST. JUDE PARADE?
Why?
Because the gay community votes and cops don't. The gay community can demand legislation and get while cops get their pensions slighted and get prosecuted and vilified because they vote and we don't.
If you don't vote, if you don't get your family and neighbors to vote you are part of the problem.
The Southside Irish Parade was eliminated because it got out of control. The Gay Pride Parade sounds out of control today also. Wonder if that will get cancelled in the future?
FROM IL STATE RIFLE ASSOC.
Fellow Law-Abiding Firearm Owners:
As many of you may already know, Chicago’s new police superintendant, Gerry McCarthy, recently delivered an address on the topic of gun control to the parishioners of Fr. Pfleger’s St. Sabina’s Church. For those of you who have not seen the video of McCarthy’s address, you may find it at this link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xIX4j2sormY&feature=player_embedded
Certainly, none of us would expect McCarthy to discuss how traditional gun control policies seek to disarm law-abiding citizens while ignoring violent criminals. Likewise, we wouldn’t expect to hear McCarthy place the blame for violent crime on a justice system that woefully fails to apprehend, convict and rehabilitate society’s most dangerous elements. No, we’d never expect to hear McCarthy utter the truth about one of the most contentious issues of the day.
As much as we wouldn’t expect to hear McCarthy speak in opposition to gun control, it is equally certain that few of us were prepared to hear what actually came from McCarthy’s mouth when he spoke to the St. Sabina’s congregation. After several minutes of gratuitous self-promotion, McCarthy launched into a racially-charged tirade in which he accused the NRA and law-abiding gun owners of participating in a government-sponsored program to kill Black people.
Like most of you, we believe an assertion such as McCarthy’s is too nutty to dignify with a response. But listening to McCarthy’s rant causes us to pause and ponder the Chicago Police Department’s own record on race relations. Furthermore, given McCarthy’s background, would any of the readers venture a guess as to who McCarthy blames for crime and violence when he’s safe at home among his family and personal friends?
Gerry McCarthy’s verbal attack on law-abiding citizens serves as an affront to law-enforcement officers everywhere. But, then again, any suggestion that McCarthy is a law-enforcement officer is a sham. Rather, McCarthy is merely another in a long line of political hacks who have resided in the office of police superintendant. McCarthy’s job description has nothing to do with law-enforcement and everything to do with enforcing the political agenda of his boss, Rahm Emanuel. Of course, as we know, Emanuel’s agenda seeks the eventual prohibition of private firearm ownership.
Probably the most ironic thing about McCarthy’s speech to St. Sabina’s parishioners is that McCarthy delivered his address while standing only a few feet away from Rev. Mike Pfleger. Let us not forget that, a few years ago, Pfleger urged attendees at a gun control rally to go out and murder gun shop owners and politicians who vote against gun control laws.
McCarthy’s speech at St. Sabina’s is a mere preview of what law-abiding firearm owners can expect out of the Emanuel administration in the months ahead. Watch the video of McCarthy’s performance at St. Sabina’s and you will see what we’re up against. And, as always, we really need your financial support to help contain and defeat the Emanuel Gun Grabbing Machine. So, once you’ve watched the video, please make a generous donation to the ISRA so that Emanuel’s dream of a gun-free Illinois doesn’t wind up becoming your nightmare.
Also, please pass this alert on to your friends and relatives. Be sure to post this alert to any and all Internet blogs and bulletin boards to which you belong.
Remember, gun control is a disease and you are the cure.
Sincerely,
Richard A. Pearson
Executive Director

Oh, hell, now AOL has a piece up on flash mob thefts, showing a number of them in clips. Did I hear wrong, or are they now calling them 'flash robs'?
Strap in; it's going to get worse.
Five cops injured in a fight in Little Village. It must have been the heat.
G-Hack is going to shut the village down for public health concerns, including all the illegal cart vendors, and turn on some hydrants. Then he's going to blow up the gang spots with tough guy east coast talk.
When he's done, he'll tell all the "brown children" that they're safe and to vote democrat and anti-gun when they are allowed to become citizens after the amnesty.

Greetings from Dublin,Ireland.
My sister in law and her husband are just back from a visit to Chicago.They loved it except for the fact that they saw two violent attscks in the week they were there.
Fortunately they were not the victims in either case.In both cases the attackers were "youths"
They loved your city but they wont be going back.
Neither will I.Sorry.
Dolton shoot-out update.
Turns out there were six wounded.

Downtown better wake the hell up.
How are you liking this Sanctuary City culture that the politicians have created here so far?

Dateline Philly:
Suspected flash mob rips off Upper Darby Sears
UPPER DARBY — A mob of about 40 people stormed into the Sears department store on 69th Street Thursday, and in a flash stole thousands of dollars worth of merchandise, officials said.
Police were able to round up 15 juveniles and one adult, 19, all from West Philadelphia.
“They came in on the El train and hit Sears,” police Superintendent Michael Chitwood said. “They stole sneakers, socks, watches, whatever they could get their hands on, and left.
“Imagine the guts of this gang of young hoodlums. One was 11 years old. The others arrested ranged from 12 to 16 years old. They planned this out earlier in the day on a social networking site. It was pre-planned. They got on the El, got off at 69th Street Terminal and walked up the hill to Sears.”
[...]
According to the affidavit, the Sears loss-prevention officer saw the mob enter the store at 7:09 p.m. on Thursday.
The group then began taking merchandise off the shelves.
“He watched the group enter the store together from the 69th Street entrance,” Chitwood said. “It was fast. They ran out, leaving empty shoeboxes and store tags behind. Fortunately, no customers or store employees got hurt.

OT: Why are many of cab drivers all of a sudden insisting I give 'em cash and discouraging use of credit/debit machines in their cabs? 5 of 6 cabs in past 3 days! Some type of scam?? One even yelled at me and told me "You are supposed to ask me when you first get in my cab if my machine is working". And guess what? When I didn't have cash, all of a sudden his machine did work.
AGAIN, Cab driver in gold coast last nite lied and said his machine wasn't working, then when I said I didn't have cash, he said it was working. I got out of his cab anyway and got a different one.
Can we expect to see Chicago's police superintendent making his political commentary at that tax free Christian Church pulpit on the Gay Pride Parade vandalism soon?
Curious?
The pride parade was again a blast of fighting, urination, public nudity, vomit, and "government sponsored immorality" ...... Glad they canceled independence day .... That holiday is so un American ..... We are a country of special interest protection .....
Oh joy ..........

Thanks g mcnutty and Rahm for all the extra bodies in 010!
I think safety greivences are in order. (lack of manpower) the City is gonna have start buying back extra PO's for some OT!!!!
Hope the union steps up soon!!!
Hey, McNuts
What can we do to fight "government-sponsored racism".
Can Illinois convert the other 49 states to enact "reasonable" gun laws that ban law-abiding citizens from concealed carry?
In fact, we find ourselves not caring right now, but that might be because most of us are on furlough right now.
Furlough, work... Its all the same, I just dont care about the job at all.
how about 5 cops sent to the hospital in 010.. and no bad guys taken to the hospital, just 13 of them arrested.. LET ME REPEAT THAT, NO BAD GUYS WERE TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL... the softer, gentler police department... pathetic
Indeed it is another summer in Area 2. With this new Supt there are big bosses--and I mean big iron clout--that are going to be lieutenants on midnights in 011 and 015 very shortly.
all i can say is WTF
Where is the intersection of North Harding and North Springfield?
Was watching Dateline just now. McStupe wants every copper to mentor 2 kids and see them a couple of times a week.
I know Daley is clinically insane, and I think this guy is too.
Yep. I'll get right on that.
Maybe adopt a couple dozen from Englewood.
Five shot, then another five shot, and then three shot. Using Chicago Public School math and Chicago Police analysis, that is three shooting incidents or only three crimes.
Rahm will say they were not crimes at all but heat related injuries because they were caused by people who were packing heat.
G-Hack will blame the government sponsored racism that causes the black and brown children to be hurt. Isn't Obama the government? Never mind.
Were any of those guns from the ATF that were sent to "brown people" or are those just the federal gun laws G-Hack was talking about?
Where was Phather Phlaker? Where was Jesse Jackass? Where was Al Sharkton? Where was G-Hack to trample the crime scene?

Gay Pride Parade made the Southside Irish Parade look like nuns praying in church.
End this out of control parade before someone dies.
From a troll: Lets face it folks, Chicago is a dangerous city by any measure. That danger has spread city wide, to places where the crime rate had been low for a city of 2.8 million people. Travel at your own risk! The cops seem to be doing their jobs. The problem is the politicians, the poverty pimps and the lawyers who run the rigged legal system are AWOL.
Hey SCC it was another shooting in 011 around 4:30 am California and Adams ...shine shot in the chest

Completely off topic. I should have posted this days ago.

You folks got it all wrong about the 1,000 cops the Mayor has put on the street. Rahm has card board cut outs of Chicago cops and he is taping them to lamp post and fire hydrants so the public will feel safe. They even glow in the dark and have a little tape that says "move along". Enjoy.
Five Chicago police officers were injured as they broke up a large fight in the Little Village neighborhood on the West Side early this morning, police said.
Thirteen people were in custody in the fight, which took place a little before 4:30 a.m. in the 2800 block of West 25th Street, said Chicago Police News Affairs Officer Michael Sullivan.
The officers injured were all treated and released, police said; the most seriously injured had been hit over the head with a bottle.
Who else has a job where they go to work and get bottles smashed over their heads for breaking up fights. We deserve more MONEY$$$$
Can we expect to see Chicago's police superintendent making his political commentary at that tax free Christian Church pulpit on the Gay Pride Parade vandalism soon?

Yeah just to identify with them he will talk about his many gay experiences throughout his life. And when he was getting it from behind Sarah Palin was hunting moose.
It is going to get worse and get closer to your neighborhoods everybody.
Go email your alderman right now at www.cityofchicago.org

You are already paying for it in taxes, soon you will also pay for it in blood.

"All of them will be jockeying to get time in front of the TV camera and they will be working the crowds of the GAY PRIDE PARADE.

Because the gay community votes and cops don't."
Nah. The media is full of gays and the cops aren't.
Well, apart from that one heavily gay district in New York where Jersey "Chaps" McPander first practised his "i'm always available to pleasure the community i serve" policing program.
Seriously though the media decide what's important and what isn't because people vote based on a mixture of what they know about personally and what the media tell them. As what people know about personally is only maybe 10% of the total and the other 90% they get from the media then if the media say gay pride is important and wildings by honor yout aren't then the politicians will grovel at gay pride and stay silent about the honor yout.
A politician who didn't go to gay pride and made a speech about wildings instead would get hammered as a homophobicracistnazi and the public wouldn't vote for them...

The quality of life approach works great, as stats have shown, BUT you need one very big component to accomplish this type of police work- MANPOWER..
A hypocritical liar like all politicians and seekers of power....but who'd guess it would be this bad? Drunken rampage, shouting "Ni**er!" at the top of his lungs, shooting at streetlights??? Man, you can't make this shit up....And this guy is now in charge....
Where is the intersection of North Harding and North Springfield?

OMG, THAT'S BEAUTIFUL! Expose that McStupe for what he is.
BTW SCC, what's the new nickname going to be? Inquiring minds want to know.
My wife and I are visiting Chicago from the Bay Area. We enjoy bike riding on the esplanade along Lake Michigan. Is it reasonably safe at night? I'm retired SFPD and can carry concealed throughout the USA (HR 218). However, in retirement, I prefer to avoid trouble. Your north lakefront is very beautiful.

No, it is not reasonably safe. Do not attempt.

When traveling to San Fran, check in with the SFPD's Finest for tips, advice, etc. God bless the Brotherhood and the CPD.

I live in the area. Just a few years ago, I would bicycle along the lakefront from Chicago Ave. North up to Hollywood Ave. and then South to Promontory Park, South of McCormick Place and then back again a few times.
Now, I avoid the lakefront at all costs. I ride along interior streets and the park and I am eternally vigilent of everyone around me.
I avoid large crowds. Don't wear earbuds.
Yesterday, I rode North from Chicago Ave. up Wabash thru Lincoln Park (What a clustarfark that gay pride parade was. The CPD was indeed way under staffed) up the inner Lake Shore Dr. to Hollywood to Sheridan Road, to Lunt St, West to Kedzie, south to Devon, West to Pulaski, South to Chicago and East back to Wabash.
It was a great bicycle ride but I'd never do it without my 1911 and .380
Maybe the predator will get me before I can draw, if need be, but then again, maybe they won't or I take one of 'em with me.
I'm not gonna live in a cage in my own city.
I don't reccomend that route for you and your wife. Stay East of Clark, South of Hollywood, West of the Lakefront and North of Chestnut.
Not a cop
In fact, we find ourselves not caring right now, but that might be because most of us are on furlough right now.
WOW! I wondered why for the last few days I found myself not caring if this city went up in flames.
I'm on furlo and I'm out of town, far far away.
Theres not a country music fan with a half of a brain in this area that would go to the taste on friday night.
I'm going to Summer Fest in Milwaukee. They charge an entrance fee of $8. That keeps all the shit heads out.
Someone said: "Gay people went nuts, took over the streets!"
Sorry, but there were close to 3/4 of a million people there and I can tell you there just aren't that many gay people around. There were many, many straight people going nuts and taking over the streets, too. Trust me.
I don't know what happened to allow people to rush into the street 3/4 of the way through the parade, but it was very strange. Most of us assumed the parade was over until two officers on ATVs came through trying to clear people off the street and another group of floats showed up.
Also don't know what happened around Halsted & Belmont. We saw CPD swarm the area but couldn't see what--if anything--was happening. In general though, I think the police on scene did a good job, considering the size of the crowd they had to contend with.

OT: Why are many of cab drivers all of a sudden insisting I give 'em cash and discouraging use of credit/debit machines in their cabs? 5 of 6 cabs in past 3 days! Some type of scam?? One even yelled at me and told me "You are supposed to ask me when you first get in my cab if my machine is working". And guess what? When I didn't have cash, all of a sudden his machine did work.
AGAIN, Cab driver in gold coast last nite lied and said his machine wasn't working, then when I said I didn't have cash, he said it was working. I got out of his cab anyway and got a different one.

Same thing happened to me on the NW side (Jefferson Pk) when I took a cab home from a local business (Edison Pk). The guy announced that his machine wasn't working the minute I got into the cab. Fortunately I wasn't going too far and had cash to cover the ride.
Tips that aren't documented can be watered down for tax purposes. That's my guess anyway for why the machines don't work.

I disagree. I would say you are ok. Just use your head and you will be fine. Dont look like an easy victim as many of these goofs do. ie talking on your i phone while walking with your Ipod in the other hand. You will be fine.
Our lake front is beautiful! Come visit us from the BAY area just be sure you pack your side arm. This is the USA We are free. You can go anywhere--don't let thugs deter you! Especially since you can carry! If approached by thugs let justice be your guide!

You're not kidding about the goatee issue. McCarthy is trying to see if he can change the regulations, so officers who want to wear a goatee can. This is well known info at HQ. Wondering how many hard chargers will actually go for the idea?
In 2007, my husband was shot in the line of duty. Today was the first day of his trial the People vs. Bobby Selvie. At 12:45 pm I turned at looked back in the court room and saw only one Police Officer, our good friend Tom McDonagh. I thank all of our good friends that came and showed support but by 12 45 the courtroom was completely empty and it was scary. Scary to know that this defendent already thinks he is calling the shots, not taking deals offered to him, scary to think that the police don't come out in force to say, Heh this is enough. If you are in court tomorrow, please come to room 602. Don't come for me, don't even come for Pat, come to show bad guys that they don't run the show, they don't call the shots, they can't continue to get away with shooting the police

He is also looking into using streetlights instead of paper targets for weapon qualifications.

Are you shitting me! How about some new cars? Computers that work? Radios that are not full of static? Thought we were not going to be responding to all the bullshit baby momma drama calls? Guess not! The CFD bought BLS basic life support ambulances to take the ghetto shit to the hospital (Like a bus with sirens) why don't the city have many andy frain to handle the bullshit calls?? Fuck it I am done the 1st and 16th! Respond quickly to all calls to back up brothers in Blue and their families the daley-madigan-etc have the people like ducks where they want them the "teddy bear" cpd is here are you happy taxpayers? If not please vote these assholes out!
If Chicago Police Officers voted as much as they texted, complained and responded to this blog we would be a real force that could not be ignored. Instead we complain about the FOP, complain about our mayor and elected officals but never exercise our right to vote. I think in order to complain about a situation created by an elected official you need to prove that you voted, if not, then shut the fuck up because complaining will get you nowhere but voting and complaining will get you everything just look at who these assholes are listening to, can you hear me now.
Subsequent updates (i.e. June 26, 7:31 AM & 11:32 AM) of the story mysteriously omit the Springfield and Harding story.
Perhaps, Springfield and Harding were spliced together from separate stories, via sloppy copy n paste? :)
