"Heat" Story Goes National

CBS 2 was linked by The Drudge Report. Drudge pulls in a few million hits a day, so this is a rather big deal. We'd also like to point out something we and most of our readers missed during this entire debacle, but Channel 2 didn't:
  • If the heat was the reason for closing the beach, why did every other beach in Chicago remain open during the supposed emergency?
Was there some localized weather phenomenon that was unique to North Avenue? Some confluence of superheated air that usually emanates in the vicinity of politicians but somehow gathered in the area of 1600 North and LSD and struck down so many fine citizens on their bicycles?

For an answer, we reached out to renowned weatherman extraordinaire, the only meteorologist to be awarded a Department Commendation by J-Fled, WGN's Tommy Skilling. Tommy had this to say:
  • "Um...it's bullshit SCC, plain and simple."
There you have it folks. Right from someone who should know.

And for all you history buffs, here's a little story from Fox 32 dated 03 June 2010 - exactly one year ago today:
  • Chicago police have beefed up their presence on the city's lakefront after a series of fights at North Avenue Beach.

    Police have installed new security cameras, and they've started doing random checks of bags and coolers for alcohol along the beach.

    Officers have also been cracking down on people caught drinking illegally on the lakefront.

    Police believe alcohol played a part in several fights on the lakefront last week.
If we remember, this was either in response to or immediately preceding a "youth" being shot pretty much at the doorstep of Lincoln Park Zoo. So it isn't like this is a new phenomena. In fact, can someone explain why the Crystal Ball Unit didn't have this on their radar?

TO: The New Superintendent
FROM: P.O.'s Under Your Command
SUBJECT: The Foot In Yo' Mou'f

R/O's realize that you are new here and may not be aware of the forces at work. R/O's also realize that, being new, you should tread lightly until you DO understand who your friends are and whom you can trust.

That being said, be careful of your next few steps. You made a fool of yourself, as you relied on the wrong people to give you information on the goings-on at the lakefront this past weekend (We are giving you the benefit of the doubt here.). You don't want to make this a habit. As a matter of fact, you should make sure that whomever gave you this faulty information pay hell for doing so.

Stay on the straight-and-narrow, be informed and honest and you should do just fine. If you continue business-as-usual and allow yourself to be a puppet of Irish Mob and the liberals in this crummy town, then you shall go the way J-Fled. (Have you ever Wikipedia'd his name? We suggest you do.)

Now come on SCC!

You know the Brettster has moved on and left us exemptless and floundering. Besides, who said it wasn't on the radar? The fact is, The Ballerino and McPuppet were personally briefed ahead of time.

Their response? "Well, I'm sure with all the bright, well-paid Command personnel we have, they'll know to send TRU, MSF and Summer Mobile over to the lakefront to handle it! Now get out of our way! We're meeting with the west side storefront reverends to find out who THEY want meritoriously promoting to First Deputy!"

I'm on vacation in Ireland but have been following this story all week. The outright lies by the new superintendent and by Rahm are troubling. I was hoping that in a situation like this they would both be man enough to admit there is a serious gang problem in this city, and say what they are going to be doing about it, not LIE right out of the gate and pretend nothing bad was happening.

I want to know what they city is going to do to combat this growing problem - one that is going to plague us all summer. Brushing the problem under the rug will only work for so long. Daley got away with tiptoeing around the Michigan Ave violence so as to not scare away his precious tourists that he cared so much more about than the citizens here. I'm hoping that Rahm will take a different path.

Personally, I wish the military would round up every last gang banging piece of shit in this city and dump them on a deserted island somewhere to let them start the civilization they seem to want. Let them duke it out there amongst themselves to see who is really the toughest. Hell, we could televise it and sleep well at night knowing it's not our backyard, but some remote place these pieces of shit can never escape from.

Again, Chicago becomes a peculiar city to the outsider. Should I go? Or, should I stay away?

My crystal ball unit says: Tourist dollars will go down.

Especially from those of us in the suburbs who will exercise the option of going north to Wisconsin or even east to Indiana to do something this summer.

After hearing the new superintendent make his remarks about North Avenue beach, I am NOT impressed. Another political puppet in the Superintendent's position. McPuppet.

I feel very sorry for those who are still striving to be professional cops in Chicago. As for those who are slipping into a dog ass routine, change jobs.

No one has locked you into the job. Walk away. Those who are still CPD cannot depend on you and in today's Chicago, you need real back-up that is going to be there and not be dragging their ass and whining about only "giving 45% because that's how much the pension is funded".

I am sure things will change abruptly if the right person gets mugged or robbed and there is huge media attention. It won't be me.

I always felt Illinois needed concealed carry. It's too late for that. We need AA12 licenses.

Broken windows can't be done if you don't have the manpower. Fill up the Beat cars 2 man, give us back real Sector cars and 3, yes three Wagons in every District.

Get together with the States Attorney and decide on a charge WE can use and sign for: DC, Mob Action or something similar. Train everyone on it, especially the Watch Commanders who will do roll calls.

The fact that radio host Cliff Kelly was smiling so broadly when interviewed about the heat/gang controversy tells me these nation-wide beach problems were an orchestrated event meant to "influence"/embarrass the President and other local leaders like Emmannuel into giving more to this "constituency". Militant african-american groups have been complaining loudly that their access and money has been cut off. So they want everyone to think they can hold the summer hostage - we'll see. Kelly does not like Rahm.

Apparently McCarthy will carry on in the grandest tradition of the great Irish bull-shitters on the Chicago Police Department. His appointment of double merit Wysinger belies his commitment to the status quo of racial politics in Chicago, and his half-hearted deception regarding the North Avenue Beach hate-crime wildings shows how cynical he must be to beleive that we, and the public, will actually swallow this shit. There's a good reason he's not in New York anymore and it has nothing to do with his stellar performance as a policemen, or police administrator. Darryl Gates he is not. Thus far his appointments, performance, and statements instead qualify him for the title of Crown Prince of Mediocraty. Sharper, harder working, more qualified policemen will probably be out somewhere catching a SPAR tonight...

More taxes and less city services and protection. That's what the people of Chicago Cook County Illinois are demanding.

We want more political body guards and drivers and errand boys and we want higher taxes to pay.

We want more city revenue generating laws like the red light cameras, the back seat seat belt laws and ways to illegally tow your vehicle, damage it and then tell you to go eff yourself.

I'm on vacation in Ireland but have been following this story all week. The outright lies by the new superintendent and by Rahm are troubling. I was hoping that in a situation like this they would both be man enough to admit there is a serious gang problem in this city, and say what they are going to be doing about it, not LIE right out of the gate and pretend nothing bad was happening.


How is Canaryville these days?

You do not get it. This guy was brought in to decimate the CPD further. The powers that be want to bust it out, just like shortshanks did to the city, not build it up. They want all those pension $$$$$. You wont see a lot of new police men until they have stolen OUR pension. Gary is just a corporate hatchet man and Rham is a lying political animal.

Per Chief Williams email to the deputy. He can't begin to express the supt concern that NO incidents occure at the beached this weekend. The Chief goes on to advise all DC and Commanders to "deploy resources appropriately" to ensure no incidents take place. And we thought there was NO gangbanging at the beaches. NONE were his exact words. And as we speak, one shot in the head at 43rd street and LSD (beach side). Gmac is gna be pissed!!

Those historically black beaches weren't the object of the domestic terrorism on Memorial Day. I would expect your 'plan' to be implemented, just in reverse.

Again, Chicago becomes a peculiar city to the outsider. Should I go? Or, should I stay away?

My crystal ball unit says: Tourist dollars will go down.

Especially from those of us in the suburbs who will exercise the option of going north to Wisconsin or even east to Indiana to do something this summer.

After hearing the new superintendent make his remarks about North Avenue beach, I am NOT impressed. Another political puppet in the Superintendent's position. McPuppet.

I feel very sorry for those who are still striving to be professional cops in Chicago. As for those who are slipping into a dog ass routine, change jobs.

No one has locked you into the job. Walk away. Those who are still CPD cannot depend on you and in today's Chicago, you need real back-up that is going to be there and not be dragging their ass and whining about only "giving 45% because that's how much the pension is funded".

I am sure things will change abruptly if the right person gets mugged or robbed and there is huge media attention. It won't be me.

I always felt Illinois needed concealed carry. It's too late for that. We need AA12 licenses.

The Heat is in Miami. They got theirs from Dallas in the last 7 minutes pf Game 2.

Nothing I like better than watching Lebron James celebrate 7 minutes too early and then with his long ass face he has to stammer his way through the post-game press conference. That was a beautiful thing I tell you.

And watching Dirk Nowitzki, a German no less, beat them down the stretch was wonderful. A German guy with the finger of his shooting hand in a splint with torn tendons!

And the next three in Dallas. I will watch only to see the Heat get stomped. Illiterate thugs.

I'd be happy to carry a gun as a law abiding citizen. Since I legally cannot, I avoid the Lakefront, Watertower, North Ave stores, Oak street and now Lakeview for pepperspray attacks. Although I wish I could go for walks in my neighborhood, I do not go out at night. I feel quarantined in my own home. It makes the taxes I pay the city so worthwhile.

I read SSC blog for my news about street safety. As depressing as it is to read, you may be saving my life by providing a forum for people to tell the real story of what goes on in the city.

There's a strong police presence at the beaches in South Boston today, following the Memorial Day weekend flash mob wildings we had here.

There were eight squads parked at Carson Beach this afternoon with many officers on foot in bright green vests. Mostly State Police (who have jurisdiction), but also Boston PD.

There was also one squad parked at Castle Island along with a mounted police truck. Plenty of other cars in the parking lot, patronizing the restaurant Sully's.

The beaches are pretty empty otherwise, however, as it's been really cool here today in the upper 50's to low 60's.

I've heard the stories. I've been stopped for 8 times in 25 years in Wisco and always got a pass. I was not being a dick, dissing a fellow officer like he isn;t the real police, was not drunk to the point of being a bigger asshole. The only time I was ever treated badly was by one guy just north of the border; and even he gave me a pass with a very big attitude. Over the years I've run into quite a few in bars or whatever. They have some bad asshole cop stories themselves. When my kid was 17, he got a pass, but the cop told him he was going to tell me, and he dropped by the house.
