More Crime Up North

  • Police have issued a Community Alert for the Lakeview area after several people reported getting sprayed with mace, attacked and mugged over the past few weeks.

    The robbers approach their victims as they are walking on the street or into their homes during the early morning hours, police said. They then proceed to spray the victims with mace or pepper spray, knock them to the ground and forcibly mug them before fleeing the area.

    The robberies have occurred within the following boundaries: Belmont to the South, Addison to the North, Pine Grove to the East and Sheffield to the West.
And this helpful bit of info is hilarious:
  • The community alert urges residents to be extra vigilant: don't walk alone, check to see if area surveillance is working properly and inform friends and neighbors of the crimes.
First up, what qualifies potential victims to check on area surveillance cameras? And after that, what are they going to do if the cameras are working - wave to it? Do we really have to go through this charade again? Chances are no one is watching anyway, especially at 3 AM. You're better off carrying a gun.

Daley and crew are assholes to have ever suggested to the sheeple that cameras make them safer. A camera won't jump in and stop you from being raped or robbed. It probably won't even show who did it.

I wonder who is getting paid for all of this camera bullshit.

"Police have issued a Community Alert for the Lakeview area after several people reported getting sprayed with mace, attacked and mugged over the past few weeks".

Am I to infer that the Chicago Police Department was aware of an emerging or existing pattern of violent crimes against persons and WAITED TO INFORM THE PUBLIC?

I mean, come on! Surely some of our esteemed triple-promoted Bossholes put two and two and two and two (again) together and figured out the correlations and similarities, right?

The Community Alert DID include the RACE of the offender(s), RIGHT? What's that you say? The Powers That Be "accidentally" omitted this pertinent descriptive morsel? Oh, I see... ALL of the victims were approached from behind and never got a good look at their attacker, so that's a moot point. Of course. Silly me for thinking differently based upon my training, past experiences and real-life applications.

Instinct and common knowledge will again be dismissed as racial profiling by ghetto MB poseurs in colorful clerical vestments; simultaneously, the Machine-controlled media will run this latest story of the biased and corrupt CPD as the lead story for days on end. Finally, this script will be complete when the very same liberals victimized by the "usual suspects" fall obediently into line to project their demonization of the Gestapo-like police.

Demand the TRUTH from your elected officials, Sheeple. Furthermore, demand accountability and promise unprecedented backlash at the polls when retention time comes around.

Or just continue to lay there and take it in the ass hoping it'll all just go away.

serious question on the suggestion to carry, and I'd like to hear from coppers out there....

i'm one of those rare chicago citizens who actually carry a cfp, along with a foid of course, and a small pile of out-of-state carry permits. Sure, I know none of that entitles me to carry here.

I regularly "car-carry" following the law, under a little-known, totally legal condition that allows a center console to be used "as a case". nothing in the pipe, no mag in the gun....check.

what's going to happens to me if some cockroach attempts to car jack me and i waste his ass in the process of self-defense?

How can a law-abiding citizen practice reasonable self-defense under un-constitutional chicago law? How would law-enforcement deal with a guy like me in the event I'm discovered carrying on my person, simply trying to walk down my own block late at night? or tending to my business located in the stockyards area?

I'd like to think that I'd recieve some kind of "consideration" as a lawful cfp holder, among other things.

am i crazy?

stay safe all, and our thanks.

It is time to get rid of domestic terrorists. It is too bad the CPD has pussified Bossholes (whoever came up with Bossholes - excellent choice of words).

The new superintendent, Mc Puppet, has lost all credibility with me. This guy could have came in and kicked ass. Instead, he exchanged his integrity for a paycheck.

Good leadership (notice how I did not say "management") starts at the top. The CPD (at least the "real police' who are left) are aching to be "led", NOT managed.

I do not see citizens going out to take back the lakefront, so it will eventually become a no-mans-land where you keep your distance if you do not want to be mugged or worse.

Affluent boaters will be able to see savages throwing rocks at them from the shore like they did off Benton Harbor, MI.

I'm not a cop and I'm not a lawyer but I suspect what would happen if you were carrying a locked and loaded gun without a permit and FOID card would depend primarily on: (1) The circumstances you were stopped by the police, (2) If you told the police you were carrying it before they found it either by seeing it or in frisking (very dangerous for you if they just come upon it), (3) The experience and disposition of the police, (4) your police record. (5) If you're under the influence of anything, (6) If you demonstrate an understanding of how to use it and have had any training, not neccessarily in that order.

All that being said, it's very, very, very likely that you'll be arrested. But with a good record and no priors, it is unlikely you will serve any time. Although, if you get some DA or ADA filled with piss and vinagar who is deranged with the gun control and guns are bad mentality, you might go to jail.

Letting you walk is a huge risk for the cops.

But those that have been thru a few rodeos can spot a citizen protecting themselves and who is no threat to society a million miles away unlike the DA's, ADA's and judges who can't see the real threats who have actually attacked citizens as a living and sport and who are standing right in front of them.

The experts can correct my humble opinion where ever they see fit And, I don't say that sarcastically.

Lastly, it's going to cost you a lot of $$$.

Crazy young thugs shooting at each other and hitting everyone else but the inteded target. But Gov. Jello, Fatarce Daley, and Mayor Rhamey tell us we don't need to carry guns to protect ourselves and our families. Good advice from slugs who are surrounded by armed bodyguards.

You would probably be arrested. In the old days, we gave a pass to those who obviously were carrying just as self-protection, but the younguns out on the streets don't relate to that and most of them are all about their arrest count and court time/money, so I'd have to say you're really risking it.

You would receive consideration from normal cops.

They are un-American assholes who don't respect the Constitution or the Bill of Rights.

The CPD is an organization controlled by the democratic party. While I and many members support concealed carry for qualified civilians, the CPD as an organization will never, never, ever voice support for the 2nd amendment. All of our leaders, each and every one without exception, from captain on up owe their rank as favors to various democratic politicians. The same is true for many lower ranking members have been "meritoriously" promoted or just have good spots (ie: out of patrol). I am a life member of the NRA and even though I don't 100% agree with everything the NRA says, I agree much, much less with what the democratic party says and certainly with what the democratic party has become. JFK was also an NRA member and would probably be disgusted with what the democratic party has become. He was much more conservative and patriotic than the libtards in charge now.

Yes- your crazy! Not because you have gun in your car, because the thing isn't loaded with 1 in the pipe!
If you choose to carry a weapon in your car or on your person, then you accept the risk of getting caught with it.
Don't expect a free pass, let the officers know it's there, let them take whatever action they decide and have your day in court.
If a you feel your in danger of death or a battery, then eliminate the threat by any means available.

Thousands of young kids were at a 5k race yesterday along the lake front, something called Girls on the Run. It was hot out! The race previously had water tables set at every mile. This year, one water station in the middle of the race! Again, it was pretty hot out there. Some poor little kids, we are talking white black brown asian, all kinds were getting sick barely able to complete a 5k race/walk. One water station in the middle of the race. Disgraceful! Also, the grass everywhere was way long. The city just isnt cutting it. And I saw 1 cop. A white shirt boss, Lt. or higher, with his helmet on traveling a papv. No other CPD anywhere, and there were some real bust out scum lirking. This city BLOWS!
