Curfew Nonsense
- Three aldermen are proposing an earlier curfew for children under the age of 12.
The goal is to get unsupervised children off the streets earlier in the evenings and out of harm's way.
Well, if the stories are to be believed about the nine-year-old getting shot, he was under the direct supervision of his father when he was out at 0320 AM getting the dog and catching a bullet. So this law wouldn't mean diddly-squat.
But hey, if the aldercreatures can attempt to regulate foie gras, transfats, and every other thing under the sun, why not try to regulate how badly people can raise their offspring? It's not like they're actually solving problems anyway.

Why not stop all the ghetto kids from going out! Keep the thugs in the house,would be prep for them going to prison in the future! Enough nonsense, how about a curfew for aldermen?
Rhamster better plan to hire a lot more kiddie cops if he plans to enforce this curfew. The new Alderwoman who came up with this dandy must have had a nightmare and woke up during the council meeting. A really good one was from the other new Alderpire who wanted to jack up the cost of city stickers unless you owned a hybrid car. We can hardly put gas in our old cars let along buy new one. I have always wanted Aldercreatures drug tested every couple of months. They all act like they are stoned most of the time.
More BS laws to remember and more BS laws to make them act as parents. What a joke....
who the hell is this sergeant from 701 demanding signatures at sporting events?
How about going after the parents-its already in the statute-lock em up.
These people... the High and Mighty (a)ldermen/women need to be accountable...watching u like never before...
The Strouse family wants to say "Thank You" for keeping Brian's memory alive for 10 years. To all of you that came Friday or just thought of us, we appreciate it from the bottom of our hearts. It is hard to believe it is 10 years. We wish you all a safe return home to your family every night.
Our best to you and your family-
The Strouse Family

The administration in Washington just sign the act to allow Mexican trucks to deliver in the US. The will be a diaster for the trucking industry and should cause some problems in enforcement.
This was the only part of NAFTA which had not been put into effect, for 17 years with good reason. Who will inspect the truck and license the drivers
Off topic, has anyone send the Job Vacancy on the City of Chicago website for the title of "Security Specialist?" Only open to retired police officers......is this the end of current CPD officers being assigned as bodyguards???
Foulkes and two other aldermen are proposing an earlier curfew of 8:30 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and 9 p.m. Friday and Saturday nights.
I guess no playing Ghost in the Graveyard for pre-teens. My son had youth baseball games that ended after 10 pm.
I read some of the posts on the "Breaking News" website. Most of the people were pointing fingers at the parents because the boy was outside at 0320 hours.
For Christ's sake people, he was with his dad, in his house, on a summer night. I can remember many a summer night, hanging w/my dad and siblings, late into the a summer night, either playing games/watching TV or taking a late night swim (yes, I was lucky enough to have an in-ground pool in the back yard-none of this bullshit Chicago above ground crap).
The boy was lucky enough to have his dad in his life, probably unlike the POS that shot him.
Failed cultures.
That's what it boils down to.
They've created an entire college of excuse-makers; assorted 'isms and 'ologies, accomplishing nothing more than rationalizing the shitty life choices made by certain communities, keeping the finger from pointing at the guilty parties and demanding they be held to account for their own failings.
Nope. It's all someone elses fault. Society's, perhaps. Or maybe Whitey's.
Until we can openly acknowledge the gargantuan cultural failings that exist in Chicago's black community and all the consequences that are associated with it (crime, squalor, illiteracy, welfare dependancy, broken homes and yes, anti-social behaviors like keeping your 9 year olds up at 3:30 AM...) the problem will continue to exist, with everyone under the sun being 'blamed', save for those actually responsible.
I hate to say this, but I really think the cmd of 023 should go. She is a nice person, but she has no control over the district or the w/c's. The one on third watch just does whatever he wants. He is the #1 reason the district is so short. Everyone can't stand working for that guy. Him and his band of goof supervisors don't even let you breath without notifying them first. It's an absolutely horrible environment to work in. As soon as anyone has a chance to bail they do. Heck, many have left for ghetto districts b/c they couldn't take it anymore and their were no decent openings and they just couldn't wait another period to get the fuck out of there.. The fact is the cmd should b setting the tone and putting certain bosses in check, but she doesn't have the balls to do it, so the 3rd w/c just treats everyone like shit, including other w/c in the district and nobody can do shit about it. It's a sad state of affairs over there.
The curfews mean NOTHING without police officers to enforce them.
End of story,
Ordinances are like event numbers-- gotta generate them in order to justify existence...
"squad.... can I have an event number for a Crime Suppression Mission in the Level II DOC"... next, and "ARMS mission," Followed by a WHOGIVESAFUCK
1:33 you sir are a complete idiot. Really, I'm sure your dad wasn't smoking weed drinking a 40 while jamming to rap music like this "father."Prime example of our own team failing us.

There is NOTHING ANTI-SOCIAL about a child being up with his dad late on a summer night enjoying each other's companionship, whether playing video games, reading, watching sporting events, whatever!
Many, many kids and even adults have been shot while they've been inside of their own homes, asleep, watching tv, reading, whatever, as the madness of the streets have invaded their homes.
It's tragic what happened to that kid, but neither the father or his son were doing anything wrong, illegal or immoral, they were on their own property, and it should have been safe enough to leave your back door and retrieve a family pet from your own back yard. I also can remember in my youth being up late in my home during the hot summers of Chicago surrounded by family members, eating ice cream, talking about family vacations we had taken. Sometimes, even in Englewood, bad things just happen to good people.
If Moe,, Larry, and Curly want to waste taxpayer time and money on this nonsense then who are we to balk?
It's not like we have the time or manpower to enforce it.
Since when do ghetto rats comply with laws or ordinances? I don't think this is aimed at the taxpayers!
Make all the laws you want. You see how well all the gun laws keep guns out of the hands of criminals!
This city is beyond salvation.
I have 2 years left and am already in retirement mode. Radio calls, back up my brothers, that's it.
All the proactive policing in the world cannot set this city back on track.
The sooner you believe that, the sooner you'll feel the burden of trying to 'make a difference' lift--time to give it up.
O.T.
I'm yesterday's papers Rahmster was listing changes for some City unions to avoid layoffs. These changes were going from double time to time and a half for O.T.
If all these other unions have had double time why has FOP only gotten us time and a half?
Rahm also wants them to go to a 40 hour work week from 35. This one's a no brainer but how did these unions get a 35 hour work week to begin with?
FOP it appears these other unions have been much better at negotiating than you have in the past.
when we were kids on a hot summer night the wiffle ball bats would come out and we would go lightning bug swatting---- getting thrown in the bath tub by mom/dad was the biggest fear of the evening--- now our alderman want young children in the house so they don't get hurt--- the quality of life in this city is just eroding away right before our eyes.....
The democRATS want government intrusion into every aspect of your life. Our Founding Fathers would be disgusted by this.
We rebelled against Great Britain for much, much less that what these communists are trying to force down our throats.
We are free, but there are many among us who would gladly put on chains for "free" handouts from the government.
Here's the real story. This ordinance may be sponsored by aldermen but it is the brainchild of none other than the commander of 007, AC. He's been bragging that he wanted to get this passes but couldnt find a sponsor for it in City Council. Guess he found one.
Who will inspect the trucks and licence the drivers ? Why the
Border Patrol of course. But at the
Arizona border the drivers might
run into problems if their vehicles
and "credentials" aren't in proper
order.
Another case that the ASA office screws up. The 1993 killing of a Glenview women after having DNA. Even with DNA our crappy State's Attorney's office would not charge. Will someone please run against HER,

I haven't seen that much whine since Napa Valley. God bosses, bad bosses. Walk out the door after roll call and do your job.
Man up and stop acting like a child.
Curfew??? Chicago already has a curfew. How about holding the "Parent" resposible, notice I use only one parent, the other one is in jail.
They can pass all the ordinances they want,w/o police officer's to enforce them they mean nothing.
Let's have the Department of Revenue go around 9pm-5am issuing tickets for curfew violation.Leave the police out of it. How about DCFS take it over? What if the child is with his parent, would they still get a curfew violation? What if they are in front of their aunties house with relatives? Would any of them really pay the ticket? It won't work. The only thing that might work is taking Link/welfare money away for curfew violations.
our new supt,czar mccarthy , supports the new curfew law for 12 year olds , in the house by 8:30 pm
i didn't notice rahms lips moving when czar mccarthy talks
he's the new laughing stock of cpd
he's worse then Jody Weiss
(OT) Looks like the d-unit will be disbanded in present form! Finally McClue has a good idea! Ever call the area and be told "you got nothing kid?" The Supt wants to assign 2 Detectives 24/7 to the districts which would be a great idea and it will be a full tour where you can reach a dic for charges! More things like this and dump at least 1/2 exempt staff especially that idiot carouters that would be "change we can believe in!" Come on Mcboss you talked a good game but yet what have you done? Chirp!Chirp!
the Curfew law we have now is non/un-enforceable. These aldercreatures must have spent their entire lives with their heads stuck up their ass.
This is the problem with having wayyyy tooooo many aldermen on the payroll. They have nothing to do that means anything.
All these aldercreatures are there to make sure the political agenda of the Machine is taken care of.
The first step in ridding shittyhall of corruption would be to get rid of the alderthieves.
Oh well, now that that's off my chest I'll be going out for Foie Gras & French fries cooked in Duck Fat, then it's off to clean my guns.
Maybe give the parents AND their young punk violators community service since they can't afford to pay a fine. Nothing is enforced with curfews anyway!
There should be a curfew on the Aldermen. Who the hell do they think they are coming up with this nonsense feel good crap. The child was with his Father on their own property. If you can't be safe in that situation regardless of time of day then you can't be safe anywhere or any time. No curfew law would have stopped this and I'll add no gun law would have stopped this either. Putting the thugs in prison would stop this kind of thing. It's the thug way of life that is doing this stuff, they have no fear of police, the courts, parents, and couldn't care less about their victims innocent or not. Stop the thugs form doing the harm they do you moronic aldercreeps and stop coming up with feel good bullshit laws you think will garner favor for you come election time.

--and the POS went outside to unchain his pitbull at 3:20 am. Sorry Dude I was never up or out of the house with my parents at 3:30 am.
Yes, this is a perfect idea, lets take the short handed shifts that we currently have and give them even more busy work and babysitting, this will solve everything,
Listen, aldermen you idiots HIRE OFFICERS WE ARE SHORT HANDED AND TIRED
Please don't cancel my RDO anymore your not doing me any favors you dicks, HIRE MORE OFFICERS

You're probably going to get blasted here in the comments, as well you should.
This isn't Mayberry RFD, son.
If you had an in-ground pool, you either lived in the 'burbs here in Illinois or in another state's municipality where they allow things like that. If you had an in-ground pool, you probably didn't live in the ghetto -- you lived in a neighborhood where the adults were in charge and knew where their kids were, what they were doing, who they were hanging around with, and gave the kids specific times when they should be home. If you lived in the ghetto, your dad and you wouldn't have been swimming at 3 a.m. because you either wouldn't have had an in-ground pool or your dad would have known that it wasn't safe. Not even in your own backyard.
No pity for the family. No pity for the culture. No pity for the neighborhood. The sociologists have been giving them pity for years and it means shit.
Who the hell lets their 9yo stay up until 3 a.m.? And he was actually awake enough to play video games and go outside to bring in the dog! That right there says loads -- 3 a.m. bedtimes are a routine in that household. I'll bet if you asked the teachers at his school (if he made it to school regularly), they'd tell you that he was sleepy or falling asleep half the time. Hell -- my kids (oldest 12, youngest 6) don't usually make it to midnight on New Year's Eve, the one night a year when they're allowed to go to bad later than 8 or 9. But 3 a.m.? Really?
You're missing the point here. Parents are the ones who should be responsible. The parents who are doing what they should don't need the city council to pass something to tell them when to have their kids in. The parents who aren't doing what they should won't listen to what the city council passes telling them when to have their kids in. It's similar to the whole "ban guns!" thing -- the only people who don't have them are the ones who follow the rules forbidding them to have them. The criminals don't give a shit about the rules.
This kid lived in a shit neighborhood and the dad (the kid probably knew it, too) knew it. So he should have been the one going out for the dog, without the kid.
I live in a safe neighborhood and if I'm up at 3 a.m. (which I usually am because I work from home and that's the only time I can get any work done without being interrupted), you can sure bet that I'm not letting my kids out in the yard, with or without me. (But as I've already said, they're sleeping then.) Kids don't belong up at 3 a.m. Period. If they're up, it should be because they're sick. Not because it's their regular bedtime after playing video games, etc.
THEY NEED A NEW LAW ABOUT ASS-HATS WHO SIT IN VACANT LOTS WITH CRATES.
ANOTHER LAW ABOUT DICKWEEDS WHO PRETEND TO FIX CARS FOR 12 HOURS IN FRONT OF HOUSES THEY DONT EVEN LIVE NEAR.
Thanks for the fantastic job report! great job obama the market fell how much already? over 100 points? and how much lower before the weekend? Sorry, but my wife and I did not make 12million last year like you and michelle and we did not get a 11K refund. money goes to money but stop screwing the guy trying to get by and support his family. If you can not handle it be a man step aside and let someone correct it who can. Seriously where are the jobs? where is the booming economy and market? now freddie and fannie maybe be completely taken over by the Fed's? I guess they have done so well with everything else they touch so why not, just look at how efficent the post office is... What bad economy right?

Very aptly and deftly put, sir/ma'am.
The cut of your jib is both admirable and formidable.
Our $.02
The entrenched political-criminal class of Chicago that has enabled, empowered and mobilized the legions of catered to constituents as an army to defend the entrenched political-criminals against the well earned ire of the captive taxpayer.
Classic Siege Warefare...
The small garrison of responsible, hardworking, captive taxpayers who wish nothing more than to enjoy the fruits of their labors in some measure of peace and safety in concordance with the dreams and visions writ large by the Founders of this Republic; is being reproduced, overrun and legislated out of existence in this here city of Chicago.
You're an enemy and an obstruction to the liberal Stalinist Democrats that infect and inflame the body politic of Chicago, if you don't share their utopian aspirations of left wing collectivism, group-think and nanny-statism.
Which probably explains why America has lost it's mojo and those institutions SWORN to protect the true citizen from ALL ENEMIES FOREIGN & DOMESTIC (Police and Military) have been under attack and our educational system has been rendered into a Frankenstein that no longer teaches for the sake of learning but has turned teachers into nothing more than standardized testing coaches with a mandate to ensure a certain number of students can hit an arbitrary mark on tests that do nothing to lay a true foundation for life.
This nation is intentionally being walked backwards toward it's destruction and we do not like it one bit.
We reckon it will be truly free men who exercise common sense and discernment who will be stripped and enslaved to support those who look to the state for everything.
Daley, Obama and Emmanuel are the harbingers...
Those who have been sounding the alarm face the very real prospect of the powers that be going all in to silence them.
The clear-eyed contributors here know that.
There is real ugliness coming...
The Second American Revolution/Civil War is going to be God-Awful.
Cherished values and institutions are under constant attack.
Our so called leaders have been made to run funny, grow breasts, and want to "build coalitions" to the detriment of this republic instead of putting America first over all.
Massive curtailment of foreign aid for a presidential term will do wonders for this country.
The Box Chevy Phantom for President, muthafuckahs!
Government of the people, by the people and for the people out of the barrels of two .45's!
*WHOOMP-VROOOOOOM! SCREEEEECH! If you blink, you DIE, muthafuckahs!*
The Box Chevys gettin' up on the international sidewalk for the American people who would appreciate such. ;)
The real deal democommie-crat nightmare! An old street cop as President??

Posted as a comment on the Sun-Times website story:
Rahm Emanuel, Garry McCarthy support earlier curfew for kids
"Frustrated aldermen have empowered police officers to seize vehicles driven by kids caught cruising after curfew and put the financial squeeze on parents ..."
Frustrated alderman need to hire the 2,500 police officers that Chicago taxpayers area paying for to bring the CPD up to strength.
Taxpayers, citizens and voters need to put heat on their alderman to stop wasting money on pet projects and get back to providing public safety.
Please take a few minutes and phone or email your alderman and tell him or her that it is important to you that the city hire the police that you are paying for and not getting.
Please stay safe, this is important, you can get the numbers and email addresses at www.cityofchicago.org

Late into the summer night? That would be maybe 11pm-1am for a nine year old and that's pushing it. 0320 AM is beyond late into the night... it's early in the morning. It's ridiculous for the kid to be up that late and even more ridiculous that he's being sent outside to let the dog in. I guess the "dad" wanted to finish his xbox game.

Don't forget my personal favorite... a "QUALITY OF LIFE MISSION". Event numbers = modern day policing by the micro managing bean counters.
I have an idea.....lets have a community march....lets go to the ghetto where they don't want us and start parenting for them. I left the ghetto, I got sick of answering calls that had no reason being dispatched. Ignorance is not a crime, he won't give me my keys ...he won't tell me where my keys are.....he's not listening to me....blah blah blah. If you want a better neighborhoods you have to stand up and say something. We can't catch the bad guys if you don't tell us who we are looking for. It's easy to say the police don't care, they don't do nothing....well if we aren't given anything to work with there is nothing we can do. As one of my old bosses used to say "you can't make chicken salad out of chicken shit"
He is ur typical house mouse Captain (23). He spent his time in the trenches at R & D and kissed
the right asses in the Building to make Captain.
The current and previous
Commanders couldn't control him.
He needs to be summoned to 35th St and have E.B & the Chief tear him a new asshole.
But they won't.
Just another crutch for the ghetto community.
When shorty turns up dead moms can blame the poleeeces for not bring him home at 8:30pm.
{ot} as a kma member what i thought was a rumor turned out to be true. how can another cpd officer that is obviously a major hair gel type arrest another cpd sgts father for having a police scanner its true happend in 008 district. does that mean that hair gel will man up and enforce this law across the board and hair gel will be stopping the news media arresting reporters and camera man towing the news vehicles? of course not what punk that should resign and move out of mommies basement.
The curfews mean NOTHING without police officers to enforce them.

The curfews mean NOTHING, with or without police officers to enforce them. At best, they are a tiny inconvenience.
What if they are in front of their aunties house with relatives? Would any of them really pay the ticket? It won't work. The only thing that might work is taking Link/welfare money away for curfew violations.
7/08/2011 10:46:00 AM
since the link, (and sundry other 'entitlements'), are their source of income, all tickets, fines, etc., should be automatically deducted from same, just like a garnishment.
that would get their attention.

I'm sorry, but no...
Keeping a 9 year old child up until the wee hours of the AM as a regular matter of course is a maladjusted behavior type. This sort of behavior is common- even standard- in the ghetto.
Waking up at noon or 1 PM is not a good path to orient your child on, but it is tragically common in areas like that, where social mores take a backseat to 'impulse behavior'.

Why not let the young kids come out at night and put a curfew on the teens 15-19?
That would seem to lessen the violence a bit. Or not at all like this will do. Curfews don't curb violence.
Oh well... Just give the media something to talk about. Let the aldermen look like they are doing something and that they care etc.
What is next? All kids by law must sleep in a cast iron bathtub in the center of the house to lessen the chance of a stay bullet hitting them when they turn in for the night?
The terrorist have won!!
The alderman are transferring their guilt from their failures to the law abiding citizens.
Well Guess what?
They may want to push back that curfew time another hour because a seven y/o just got capped in the side just before 9 pm tonight on 7100 S. wood.
Hey, let's just declare martial law and get it over with shall we?
Unwilling or unable to stop the sanctuary city non-sense that creates this culture of: "laws don't matter" they've (the political apparatus) turned to blaming and punishing the victims now as a last resort.
Heh, of course if you go outside you're going to get shot. Dummy. What the hell you leaving your house for?
Stay in your house and don't come out. There's gangs out there with guns and we can't control them so we will control you instead and take away your freedoms.
It's a win-win for Crime Stats.
If everyone is made to stay inside they will only be shot inside and being shot inside is like an act of mother nature where we can't control it so we don't count it. It's an in-ee!!
Besides it's a great way to generate city revenue.
The fine is not large enough to take off work for to fight and possible lose you job over and it's big enough that we can fill some shoe boxes for the cities 175th anniversary parties for our leaders.
Working people trying to make their way are such easy marks for this bullshit.
BTW if we're going to do this I say definitely we set a curfew for the alderman too.
It's a brilliant idea because once the body guards lock the alderman up inside their mansions in the slums they're done foe the night and the city don't have to pay for another security shift to protect them.
When the street lights come on the aldermen have no business being out on the street.
If we catch them out fine them until they get the message....right?
Next week we will introduce the stay away from your windows ordinance -- so stay tuned.
Illegal Immigrants and law breakers -- enjoy your zones of impunity.

Well good for you oh fortunate one.
Is having a pit bull a reason to get shot? You make no sense at all.
My father worked second shift his entire life. When i got home from school he was leaving for work. The only time we had together mid week was in the summer where I was occasionally allowed to take a nap and then get up at 2:30 am to share a snack while he ate dinner.
Too bad you never were able to sent up a tent in your back yard and camp out in the summer either.
Okay so we need a unit to run over to Comer Children's Hospital and another to Stroger to write a couple of curfew violations tonight.
The 12 year old girl got it in the legs and buttocks at 8:51 pm and the 7 year old got it in the stomach at 8:54 pm

Hey..so who wants it?
Don't let this crisis go to waste!!
WE CAN GET TAX REVENUE FROM IT!
Try this approach:
Chicago Municipal Code – Curfew Ordinance
8-16-020 (10)(2)
A Parent or Guardian of a minor commits an offense if he/she
knowingly permits, or by “insufficient control” allows, the minor
to remain in any public place or on the premise of any
establishment within the city during curfew hours.
************************************************************************
What does this mean?
In addition to completing the Curfew Form, write the Parent / Guardian of the minor who is in violation of the curfew ordinance an A.N.O.V. Hold the Parents liable for their children in the courtroom (400 W. Superior).
What to Write:
(In summary) In that he/she: is the parent or guardian of a minor in violation of the Chicago Curfew Ordinance.
Use above MCC Code: 8-16-020(10)(2)
(e)
Penalties. A person (or parent/guardian) who violates a provision of this chapter is guilty of a separate offense for each day or part of a day during which the violation is committed, continued, or permitted. Each offense, upon conviction, is punishable by a fine not to exceed $500.00
