And in the Non-NATO World

  • A pair of gunmen opened fire on two teenage boys, seriously injuring them Wednesday night in the Marquette Park neighborhood on the Southwest Side, authorities said.

    The victims, ages 14 and 15, were wounded in the 6500 block of South California Avenue at about 9:15 p.m., according to Chicago police and fire officials.

    They were standing on a sidewalk when the gunmen approached and shot the teens before fleeing on foot, said [...] a police spokesman.

Hot weekend upcoming, but remember, weather doesn't matter.

Great.. Now the skitzo commander of 008 is gonna freak out again about the shootings.. Boss... Relax the shootings are never going to end. You've already destroyed morale with not giving any days off and demanding 13 rapids up everyday. Obviously your not here to look out for your men but to make sure those oak leaves on your shoulder are safe... Something kup never did. He took care of the coppers first, not his spot. Take note commander, you've lost the men and women under your command. Start changing or the summer in 008 will drive you mad.. Not to mention the supt.. Good luck on the hotseat this summer.. But that's what happens when u screw with the watches and your Tac teams so much.. Let 008 burn! Keep denying time assh&le and it will

There's no reason for a police skirmish line to be assembles at these protest because we think that the protestors may or may not engage in criminal conduct.

Hell, there's no skirmish lines around Humboldt Park, no skirmish lines setup over on 79th street or in Englewood or the West side and every eff-ing weekend WE KNOW the same shit is going to go down with people getting shot and criminal activity rampant there.

Shouldn't the city just use it's universal answer for everything and just install more cameras so that they can bring the criminals to justice later after the fact?

Just put more cameras in. That's it. What are we doing all this confrontation that causes things to escalate for?

Nobody gives two shits. There has been so much shooting and killing I think folks in this town have become numb to the problem. Chicago is in decline. No way of us not becoming another Detroit...and very soon.

Glad things will get back to "normal". Shooting, killing, and carnage every day all week. Good to get to our routine.

I couldn't agree more!!! Kup got results because he took care of his officers and this guy comes in and immediately starts messing with us. I have three small kids, I refuse to put the extra effort in if I'm going to have to miss huge steps in their lives. This is a job, that is my family.

Cops can't stop the shooting, unless CPD begins to assign one armed cop per gangbanger and that cop literally sit on that hothead 24/7. It's the PARENTS who are to blame, because they've ignored their duty to raise their kids to be respectful citizens able to ablely and productively function in civil society. I should say, the GRANDPARENTS and GREAT-GRANDPARENTS are at fault too, because this generational disfunctionality probably extends back to the Great Society days of Johnson and the beginnings of the Welfare State. And it's the REVERANDS fault, because they reinforce this media message that the gangbangers and dsyfunctional families have no cupability or responsibility for their actions because somehow "society" and "poverty" have caused them to become criminals and/or neglectful parents.

Chicago's the Murder Capital of America. CPD brass was very lucky that the NATO protestors were more interested in street theater and good times than true destructive actions. Hopefully the self-congradulatory show ends soon for McCarthy, and he begins to show some consistent leadership for you rank and file soon.

Once upon a time, long before the onset and seige of the animal, the Marquette Park area, like many other areas of the city, was a nice place to live.

I've been a resident of 008 since 1975. 008 is officially the new Englewood now. I've noticed the steady decline in the area over the past years, and have now begun to accept shooting, killing, rape, assault, burglary, prostitution and pedofilic behavior in the area as "normal." You got to know who the cops were on your beat under Kup's old watch. And, you always saw Kup around as a visible presence. He really cared about the people in 008 and he cared deeply about his officers. Lately, not only do you not know any of the cops that show up, but you pray that at least one shows up, period. You had to figure that once all the man and woman power was pulled out of here and injected into Englewood, that the crime wave would boomerang back to 008. But what can you do? Just cross yourself before you leave the house every morning and hope for the best, just like everyone else.

SB 1673 Sec 40 ilcs 5/5 -- it's marked as a cook county bill, that just means there is some service there too!

=====================

I know he came from 016 but spent his time in 017 and I think 018 or somewhere north. Basically we read how soft the north side bosses tend to be "scared and panic stricken" always had it cushy , never spent time in court nor making many arrests in their careers (that can be checked on line now on all softball bosses and theres your compstat numbers in a nutshell). Point is you have bosses that are "yes men" never been in a "doghouse" never dealt with "dude" and never really earned the respect of others because nobody recogizes them or knew where they came from. Then when they get there they make "goofy" decisions based on panic and worry so to impress absolutley no one! I see districts from the northside beefing all the time on this site:018, 014 017 016 024 023 whatever and the ONLY common denominator I see..............THEY ARE ALL NORTHSIDE DISTRICTS with not a lot going on and all seem to have panic stricken worry warts in charge incapable of making decisions and LEADING!

So let me get this straight...Daley the crook sold parking meters for 1 billion dollars for a 99 year lease where the company can then bill the city 55 million a year on top of parking revenues for the next 99 years, thus gonna be billing the city without inflation calculated in 5.4 billion over the next 99 years. Then Daley quits gets a jacked up pension and jobs for him and his merry thieves at the law firm that struck this deal with him. WTF???? and Fitgerald retires without doing a damn thing about this fool! Maybe hes off to get his job from them too!

Someone above posted > "And it's the REVERANDS fault, because they reinforce this media message - - " TRUTH ! TRUTH ! TRUTH !
BUT POLITICAL CORRECTNESS PREVENTS US FROM NAMING the REVERENDS ? There are many FINE upstanding black pastors who are true men of God but there are some who are attention freaks, often on TV whom we all know >> they ARE hugely responsible for the victims of black on black crime AND the victims of the surging nationwide black on white VIOLENCE. They are "Reverends" ? They seem more like fire breathing angry dragons devoid of conscience, only seeking to bring glory to themselves, adultery, LIES, accusing the innocent, greedy for MILLION$ more $$$, truly disgusting men == = = =
