Travel Advisory

The American Society of Clinical Oncology has to be having second thoughts about their ten-year deal to come to McCormick Place.

PAWS canceled its upcoming weekend event due to "safety concerns from unpredictable crowds and weather conditions" although the City claims PAWS applied for a permit too late. We've never seen a late permit that couldn't be greased through in this town though - witness all the building permits pulled months, even years later (with a fine attached) for all sorts of projects.

Now, the Illinois State Rifle Association has issued a "travel advisory" for any members headed to Chicago:
  • The ISRA is warning its members to think twice about selecting Chicago as a vacation destination this summer. This warning was issued in response to a recent dramatic upswing in violent crime in the windy city. Most notably is a spate of so-called “flash mob” attacks where as many as two dozen young men ambush and savagely beat their victims before robbing them of their valuables. One recent flash mob victim was a 68 year-old man.

    The bulk of the flash mob attacks have taken place on Chicago’s near north side and Gold Coast areas to include North Avenue Beach and the Magnificent Mile. The attack locations are within the general vicinity of tourist attractions including Navy Pier, Lincoln Park Zoo, and Millennium Park.

We're afraid this is going to get worse before it gets any better. Much worse.

"We're afraid this is going to get worse before it gets any better. Much worse."

Which is why everyone wanted to keep this shit out of the media for over the last year or so.

In this already broke City, we’re now going to lose MORE money from tourists, conventions, out of towners and their tax dollars.

Just think, lil dick would have only let us be the Police, and stop his pandering to Da Reverunds for the vote, this shit wouldn’t have happened. Thanks lil dick, a slow painful death would be too nice.

This shit is just too damn funny!

We haven't laughed so much and so hard in the longest time.

Everybody at city hall & 3510 is standing around looking like they just had a blow-out in their drawers due to the shit beginning to hit the fan downtown and the media coverage it's been getting.

Their plan is that they ain't got one!

This all stems from shitting on Policemen for the last several years.

Did they honestly think the mutts wouldn't pick up on it?

when the mayor, all the alderfools, the superintendent, the media and most of the public have said "fuck The Police & every care and concern they have" and that shit is LOUDLY REINFORCED ON A DAILY BASIS FOR SEVERAL YEARS and The Police refuse to be willing martyrs for an ungrateful city, you can bet absolute chaos ensues.

Now people are pissed and they're realizing they're the ones who "broke it," not The Police.

They're scared too because the "stuff" they heard about Policemen having to deal with in those "other neighborhoods" is washing up on their doorsteps.

"POLICE! TAKE THOSE GLOVES OFF AND DO SOMETHING! WE'RE SEEING SCARY THINGS HAPPENING! SAVE US!"

The first copper taking gloves off for any reason unless the current "rules of urban engagement" are changed to in the favor of Police acting under law and color of same, will be hurt badly out of politics and spite.

Chicago Policing has been so badly destroyed.

We figured the powers that be desperately desired a reboot of CPD. to destroy it and make it over into what they wanted instead of what state law commanded.

They're scared shitless because the plan worked too well and the public is now sitting up and noticing.

Hence the media black-out on so much of the daley inc. fuckery regarding CPD.

Hence the singing, dancing, shimmying bullshit crime stats to keep the public bamboozled.

They wanted to have a few more years of tearing this job apart... They had an end game but the bleeding is so bad now, they may actually have to consider doing right by the men and women of this Department.

Were at a critical point in the direction this city will go, either you let the police do their jobs or lose the tax revenues that multiple events bring to the coffers. This is the bottom line. Discuss all you want on how we can have a fuzzier police dept. but if results are desired then action and leadership must come forward. If the dept. keeps drifting rudderless them all will be lost, mainly the tax base.

SCC does anyone have video clip of Mc on phone with mayor during exclusive local TV interview in Mc's office yesterday? (was it w. Jay Levine?) I've never seen any top cop look more uncomfortable and less confident in a televised report.

First, Mc kept asking mayor "Can you hear me now?", and walking around his office by the big windows in order to try for better cell phone reception from mayor!

Then he says to reporter, "I hope the mayor doesn't think I hung up on him,". Mc appeared concerned mayor would think he had hung up on him.

Hello! THIS is how the mayor and supe are communicating??? And it's being broadcast to a city in fear for it's safety due to flash mob violence?

Then, Mc's hands were visibly shaky a couple times. He was repeating verbatim to reporter what mayor was telling him over phone and while this was being recorded. The call was about lowering crime stats for next six months. It was creepy to watch and such a set-up!

Mc's eyes and facial expressions looked nervous and fearful even maybe- I don't think I'm exaggerating but I'd like to see clip again to see if my memory of it matches reality.

So here we go again? Even with all this flash mob violence, crime will be down..on paper!

I know there are posts here stating "give new acting supe a chance" BUT I am stuck in my apartment out of fear to go outside due to mob attacks.

Do we have just one more chess piece here who is about to be puffing himself up like blowfish in front of media, posing, lying to everyone...NOT resolving mob issues, or gang issues, and perhaps about to become not real popular with police or public? I sure hope not.

Not a police officer

Illinois Legislature Leaves Good Citizens Defenseless Against Brutal "Flash Mobs"


CHICAGO, June 6, 2011 –
-- The following was released today by the Illinois State Rifle Association (ISRA):

For the second weekend in a row, visitors to Chicago's posh Gold Coast were terrorized by so-called "flash mobs." For the uninitiated, a "flash mob" is a violent group of dozens of young people who are directed to specific locations by smart phones or social media sites for the purpose of robbing and beating unsuspecting citizens.

On Memorial Day, Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel ordered the very popular North Avenue Beach closed. Although the official position of the city was that it was "too hot" for people to be on the beach, indications are that the beach was closed because a flash mob was roaming the lakefront attacking unwary beachgoers

" Flash mobs of shitheads a concern, yes. How about the murder rate, how about the out of control shootings everynight, how about the violence against the police,"

Flash mobs' and summer violence await McCarthy and Chicago police

By Jordan Sims, Chicago City Buzz Examiner
June 8th, 2011 8:17 am CT

Twelve homicides have occurred over the last five days and the summer crime season is still in its infancy. With a majority of schools letting out by June 17, the city can expect another wave of violence in which children are the unfortunate victims and perpetrators. Lamentably, it is a cycle that the Chicago Police Department (CPD) and residents must deal with each year, even if the mayhem has abated.

According to recent statistics, violent crime is down for the 29th consecutive month. However, in the current climate there is an impression that a war has erupted, and acting Superintendent Garry McCarthy (whose confirmation vote it today) must now handle the “heightened violence” that has afflicted downtown. Yet, why are the robberies and assaults in the city center superseding the other violent and fatal transgressions that are occurring across the city?

Not so long ago, when the citizens got sick of corrupt coppers, and coppers taking bribes, they figured out that they should pay them more money so they didn't have to resort to that sort of thing. It was a shift in public thinking

NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY CRIME ALERT:

Attempted Robbery
Chicago Campus, 6/4/2011

On Saturday June 4, 2011, at approximately 8:26 p.m., a male not affiliated with Northwestern was the victim of an attempted robbery in Chicago. The victim had parked his motor scooter on the north side of Chicago Avenue across from Wieboldt Hall (300 block) when approximately 15 to 20 male African Americans, all approximately 16 to 20 years old, approached him. One of the subjects threw a baseball at the face of the victim and knocked him to the ground. Several others from the group punched and hit him several times. The victim tried to protect himself and fought back. The subjects eventually fled eastbound toward the lake. Chicago Police and Northwestern University Police responded, and Chicago Police later arrested three members believed to be part of the group on mob action charges. The victim was treated on the scene by Chicago Fire Department paramedics. No proceeds were taken from the victim. The victim could not provide descriptions of the multiple subjects involved.

University Police remind all community members to use caution when traveling, especially at night.

I stopped bringing my family downtown years ago due to the thug element. Most of the suburbs have nice places to go out and dine, shop, see movies, etc; etc; with-out the thug element. As far as I'm concerned, the city & the liberals got what they asked for with these flash mobs. As "un-P.C." as this may sound, the only way to put an end to savagry down-town is to round up roaming groups of white-T-shirt wearing south-sider teens who have no legimate business downtown, and put there asses back on the red line southbound. But in Chicago, that won't be tollerated I'm sure.

I'm surprised that this hasn't already been done. Have a large group of coppers in plain clothes hanging around a known hot spot. When someone is approached by these flash mobs then everyone pounces on these mutts and they get a little taste of their own medicine, then get hauled off to jail. Oh, and it would surely help if the Mayor and the new Superintendent met with the ASA and worked out a deal to actually prosecute these goofs.

These wilding offenders are criminals. They are not children, youths, teens, young men, young women, little darlings or any other title the media applies to them in their lame effort to avoid calling them criminals.

But these criminals have done us a favor. Now it is impossible for the liberal power people to deny the circumstances we, the police, have been witnessing in the neighborhoods for all these years.

Girl fined for fighting back at masked man

http://news.scotsman.com/scotland/Girl-fined-for-fighting-back.6775245.jp

27 May 2011

A TERRIFIED teenage girl has been fined £500 for knocking unconscious a masked stranger who stalked her home from a nightclub in what lawyers have called an "exceptional" case.

Claire Burleigh, 19, was pounced on by Sean Docherty, 43, as she was about to open the door of her Bathgate home, Livingston Sheriff Court heard yesterday.

Docherty had earlier been thrown out of the nightclub following a drunken argument.

This is what happens when the criminal flash mobs smell the weakness in the police presense downtown. The problems started when Daley got rid of the police downtown traffic/window details and hired the useless TMAs. For the past 30 years every academy class had to work for 3 to 4 months directing traffic or working the business district downtown. That was nearly 100 additional officers on all busy intersections from chicago/michigan to roosevelt/michigan and to the lake. We even had additional officers at north ave beach. 100 extra officers is more than are assigned to days in the 1st district alone!!! What Daley and the aldermen failed to realize was that these officers didnt just direct traffic they also, by presense alone deterred crime.

I always said once the TMAs took over that there would be more problems downtown. They are worthless. They have no police powers. They have been flashed mobbed themselves.

Just another example of how f***ed up the city is. They are getting what they paid for. Less police manpower/less presence = more crime.

Hire more police. Get rid of the worthless TMAs. Put police back on every corner downtown. That will take care of the problem.

All you have to do is charge a fee to enter the lake and post another lakefront detail for da police. What the fudge, do I have to run the show. They should also split MSF and TRU throughout all districts. A high crime distict will not be fixed with a few extra cops that were always there anyway. If you want to fix the fast districts you have to drug screen those receiving government checks. Last but not least, hold huge rap concerts at the McCormick Place every weekend and charge big on pop, chips, and fried food. Place 100 off duty P.O.s to secure the concert. Offcourse, hire another 500 P.O.s. over the next few months (do not be cheap).

There, you just reduced crime by
10% and increased revenue by 5%.

What has Area 3 done to work with Patrol in capturing the offenders?
Have all the victims been contacted, a property list developed, and investigation on where the property is being sold?
If so, have the subjects that have been selling the property been located, and if not have investigative alerts been issued?
This has been going for several months, it has caused the closing of a beach, and jeopardizes our tourist industry; what unified Department plan has been developed? Cheif Williams? Chief Byrne? Deputy Peterson? Deputy Brown?
Are you telling me that with all the resources in your Bureaus that there is not an integrated plan?
If so, who is in charge or are all working separately? Do I have to call 018 to see what Patrol is doing, and Area 3 to see what they are doing?
Are you telling me that the responsibility for getting this under control is as the feet of District Commander Angarone?

What alerts has Area 3 developed?
How many interviews, photo arrays, line ups and arrests from the prior cases?
Who is in charge of the prior cases?
Have they identified a pattern, and published same?
Why has it taken a crisis before we are moving on this?
What's the status of the prior cases?

What resources have Public Transportation put forward since most of the occurrences seem to have a relationship to the Red Line?

CCG has a bike team, have their hours been adjusted to combat this problem?

I've been told that we have an Operation Virtual Shield that can monitor the entire Central Business District; is anyone monitoring? If so, have they been contacting field officers when we see large groups gathering?

How are the alderman's body guards doing today? How are the alderman's private drivers and cars doing today?

That's all that matters.

How about the ex-mayor?

We should pull some more coppers off the street to make sure he's safe shouldn't we?

Taxpayers should start funding for personal chefs and maids and stuff too. We wouldn't want the cities royalty to have any "skin in the game" when it comes to shared sacrifice and austerity.

Heh, have you listened to any talk radio on this mob action?

You wonder why crime is reported down in the city and people are calling in telling stories of themselves getting jumped and they don't bother calling the police because nothing is done and nothing can be done.

Calling in is a big effing waste of time.

In fact you have some city departments running their own little crime wave on the tax payers like the streets and sans department for example and the police do nothing when called.

There's some "Broken Windows" for you right there however that's another story.

So it's not surprising.

Reporting that you got jumped and your cell phone taken nine times out of ten doesn't get your cell phone back.

Hell even if you have GPS tracking programs active to tell the cops where your stolen phone and the thieve are, the coppers tell you they don't have time for that shit.

You're told go buy and new phone and forgetaboutit...and don't flash it around next time.

The victim is blamed for the theft. Don't take your cell phone outside and you won't have this problem. ha. eff-ing ridicules.

That's one of the reasons how you end up with crime stats falling for 29 months!

Reporting the crime is seen as a waste of time. Waiting, and waiting for a copper to show up. Then when they do show up you're lucky if they do the paper and then even luckier if the paper goes anywhere and is investigated.

Most of the time you end up spending time, wasting time that you can't afford to waste.

No one is going to go back and look at any of the pod cam videos to see if they can identify who did the little I-crime of your I-phone, I-tunes, I-pad, I-touch, gadget UNLESS the crime becomes highly visible and businesses are threaten with poor attendance at a Taste of Chicago event or something similar.

BTW did they re-install the ripped out emergency phones at the underground downtown parking garages yet? Or is the city waiting for a disaster to occur and then claim ignorance.

You know guys..YEAH YOU IN CITY HALL I'm talking to.

The taxpayers see right through your whitewashing attempts of the North Ave beach incidents and the ridicule and debasement attempt of the recent animal welfare event that was cancelled for safety reasons.

The days of controlling the media and flooding it with propaganda are over. If you had some "tech-savvy" people working for you, you would know that.

Give the taxpayers a bureaucratic runaround and put the blame on the victims. Seriously..

So yeah why bother reporting it. If they catch the perp who's gonna take days and days to go to court to prosecute anyway. All that time and money is worth more than the crime. Insurance doesn't cover it with the high deductible so why even make a crime report

We nail these kids hard with a felony conviction to show that we're serious and they are then branded and stereotyped for life ensuring that they will never find a role in mainstream society. I'm not saying that they shouldn't be nailed hard we just can't be surprised at the end result when we do.

Rahm in the Sun Times:
The new mayor also encouraged a debate within newsrooms about the question of whether too bright a spotlight is being shined on crimes in the downtown area at the expense of similar incidents in inner city neighborhoods where such crimes of opportunity are commonplace.

“Are you guys reporting this more than other crime? You’re gonna have to make your own judgment about your professional standards. What I mean by that is not a challenge, so don’t everybody get their back up,” the mayor said.

“There were other incidents that happened [elsewhere] over the weekend. How’s the coverage of those vs. this? You’ll evaluate that. ... Our job is to keep all communities, regardless of where they are, safe — not just respond to only things that you want to cover — whether they’re in Englewood or downtown, whether they’re in Roseland or Albany Park.”

Hey dipshit- Roseland and Englewood aren't the economic engine downtown is, and conversely are a giant drain of resources and dollars.

ANOTHER MOB ATTACK -- BROAD DAYLIGHT -- CHICAGO AND ORLEANS

Channel 9 News on scene reporting live right now...

Three years ago I was jumped by 6 black kids at 12:30 in the afternoon near Chicago and State. I was sucker punched in the back of the head My camera was smashed, eyeglasses broken, nose broken, kicked in the ribs, I was saved by an officer that happened to be passing by and a lady who actually started screaming for help. I also fought back. Spent a day in the hospital. Two arrests, one juvenile. It was my first time ever at criminal court or juvenile court. Everyone should go down there once to see how broken it is. The adult got probation after I showed up twice. But here is where it gets kind of funny,,,the juvenile actually claimed self defense ! The judge actually laughed at him and his public defender kept trying to stop his sorry dumb ass from talking. Quote: " If you attack someone in a mob, and they get the best of you, you can't claim self defense in kicking them in the head when they are holding onto your private parts. " I still wonder if he'll ever be able to reproduce, oh btw, he actually got time in juvenile detention.
All this to say: It's been happening for a few years ! The media finally picked up on the story, and I have never been happier to see a cop in my entire life ! I never felt better than hearing the cop who was filling out the report say: " Six assholes less than half your age, and you tore off one of their nutsacks, you didn't do to bad old man."

The media has missed the fact that many, actually most, of the victims have been Asian. You should have read the post by an Asian woman in the Sun-Times comments section a couple days ago.

PAWS didn't want its little puppies and kittens subjectd to

a) the 68 and 69 degree temps forecast for this weekend, or
b) out of control wildings

--I volunteer for PAWS and was supposed to be at that event. I received an email stating that due to recent crime sprees in the area, the event was canceled.

As long as Mayor Rahm and the former Mayor feel safe with their police body guards and enjoy their quality of life, everything is good!!! Why worry about everyone else?

They want to preach to the public about how there is no problem, how about they give up their police body guards and enjoy the common person's quality of life.

The crime is being committed by black youths coming from the south and west sides....but let's not profile and God forbid, let's not charge them with hate crimes.
Our leaders are cowards who hide behind "political correctness".

why doesn't the government stop funding these punks and their families (i.e. the parent in charge) with LINK, section 8 housing, WIC, etc....start taking away the cash and maybe they will wake up.

No, you aren't Gerry McCarthy's evil twin. But I wouldn't be surprised if you were a former boss in Chicago. Your post hit the nail on the head. The most significant obstacle in accomplishing and concluding a successful investigation is manpower. Hard to get back to the basics without the bodies to accomplish it.

What has Area 3 done to work with Patrol in capturing the offenders?
Have all the victims been contacted, a property list developed, and investigation on where the property is being sold?
If so, have the subjects that have been selling the property been located, and if not have investigative alerts been issued?
This has been going for several months, it has caused the closing of a beach, and jeopardizes our tourist industry; what unified Department plan has been developed? Cheif Williams? Chief Byrne? Deputy Peterson? Deputy Brown?
Are you telling me that with all the resources in your Bureaus that there is not an integrated plan?
If so, who is in charge or are all working separately? Do I have to call 018 to see what Patrol is doing, and Area 3 to see what they are doing?
Are you telling me that the responsibility for getting this under control is as the feet of District Commander Angarone?

What alerts has Area 3 developed?
How many interviews, photo arrays, line ups and arrests from the prior cases?
Who is in charge of the prior cases?
Have they identified a pattern, and published same?
Why has it taken a crisis before we are moving on this?
What's the status of the prior cases?

What resources have Public Transportation put forward since most of the occurrences seem to have a relationship to the Red Line?

CCG has a bike team, have their hours been adjusted to combat this problem?

I've been told that we have an Operation Virtual Shield that can monitor the entire Central Business District; is anyone monitoring? If so, have they been contacting field officers when we see large groups gathering?


These are questions that will be asked at the next CAR/Compstat meeting.

My one and ONLY Question to our Mayor, Police Supt; Department Supervisors, and members of the Media is:

If you together cannot control or stop small to medium sized unarmed Wilding Flash Mobs quickly and effectively, then how in God's Name do you plan on being able to successfully thwart an organized, heavily armed, Military trained Terrorist Attack anywhere in our City?
You should ALL resign now, you are all incompetent, innefective cowardly Tools of the Regime that is allowing our Country to be destroyed by the Socialist Tools of Political Correctness and left-wing rhetoric instead of decisive actions. I am ashamed to have ever been associated with the 3 Ring Political Circus and Whorehouse known as the Chicago Police Department.

Off topic...did anyone see that A&E has a spin off of their popular show "First 48" called "First 48: Missing Persons"? I watched an episode yesterday which was filmed in Chicago following CPD missing persons dicks. It was a good episode. Displayed us in a much better and realistic light than that bullshit "Chicago Code". More episodes will feature Chicago cases.

Pretty good, but if they want it to be real, they should just show the person in Missing Persons taking the notification.......with the exception of a few tender ages, I have never seen them come out for anything......

Civilian asks: This civilian wonders if Bear Mace is legal in the City of Chicago?

The problem with the bear spray is if you hit them with it before they attack you, many (not me) will judge you as wrong, and believe me if it is caught on camera, you will go down for it, that's how fucked up it is.

Pepper Spray can backfire, wind can really fuck with it, its usually good on a one on one or two on one, and it is better than nothing, but the tactic seems to be, sucker punch after a short run from the side as you are distracted by the larger group being loud and obnoxious.

They grab the spray, you are fucked, and remember they don't give a shit about nobody and live everyday with their own bullshit.

THE EXEMPTS R PUSHING HARD THE FLASH MOBS ON ROOSEVELT WAS CAUGHT!

TO BAD THE WITNESSES AND VICTIM HAD TROUBLE IDENTIFYING THE WHOLE FLOCK OF THIEVES.

012 HAD VERY LITTLE TO DO WITH FINDING THE ABLA NATIVES WHO FEEL THE CAN WALK TO THE BUS STOP AND ROB WHOEVER THEY WANT.

MAY BE ITS TIME FOR SOME FOOT POST IN THE LOW CRIME 012 DISTRICT.
TO MUCH TIME SPENT ON TAYLOR AND TO LITTLE HANDLING THE LOW RISES.

OH WELL OVERTIME IS A GREAT THING!

Wow.

Okay......

First of all, turn off the caps, You are not typing on a PDT.

Second, there are some keys on the bottom right side of the keyboard. They are for punctuation. Check them out.

Third, I'm not sure what your point is, the cases in 012 are still open, although 012 and the Detectives have arrested some offenders already.

Last time I checked, identifying and arresting offenders has a little bit to do with clearing the case.

I was on the job a long time ago and I can tell you that if things like this occurred, the area would have been saturated with police and a lot of severe beatings would have taken place. Maybe some people would have even been arrested and there would have been no beefs. If there had been complaints they would have been ignored.

This will not happen today.

The politicans have succummed to the will of the liberals, the store front reverends and other idiots. They have given them what they wanted, a softer, gentler police department.

We hear officers saying back us up and let us do our job. This is admirable as the officers want to be the police, but today even if the bosses back you up, beat one of these assholes and YOU are going to jail.

Finally the media is reporting what is happening on the near northside and downtown. Do not be fooled by these parasites. They will turn on you in a heartbeat and report and broadcast any moves you make to rid the city of the vermin who stalk and prey on its citizens. They will do anything to sell newspapers and tell stories.

Also, and this is very important. The man who sits in the White House has told his lackey, Eric Holder, to investigate any urban police department engaged in racial profiling.

It's not fun to sit back and watch innocent people be the victims of violent crime, and sure, a few scum will be arrested and maybe sent to jail. But the way to stop this nonsense post haste is to read paragraph one.

A word to the wise.

There will be more attacks, shootings, homicides and aggravated batteries. This is what the aldermen, mayor and the chief. They know exactly what they are doing. That's why we will lose tourists, students, which equals MONEY! Good job! Don't blame me though, I didn't vote for him.

Until you start letting the honest citizens of Chicago arm themselves for their own protection, the predators will not learn. You can not hire enough police officers to handle the amount of punks.

The answer is obvious, and until you accept it, you will receive no sympathy from those of us who retain the right of self defense.

Good luck.

Hopefully, folks are still reading this post.

I'm spending the summer in Chicago (still really happy to be coming back home) and am usually pretty aware of my surroundings. However, a flash mob seems trickier. So what can I legally carry on my person in order to better protect myself, or what can I do in addition to being more vigilant than usual?

Thanks in advance!

Not sure if you're a police officer, but I am looking for suggestions for the best defense item to carry when avoiding the situation or running away are not viable options.

It seems like Bear Deterrent Spray is one of the better, legal-in-Chicago options to use against multiple attackers (outside only, of course). And I wanted to get some input from experienced officers who know what works best. For example, unless you're are highly trained in knife skills, carrying a 2.5" blade is probably a bad option. There must be something police officers know, because they've seen more than the rest of us, that works better in most situations.

Thanks.
