And the Totals Are...
- In some neighborhoods in Chicago, the hot Memorial Day weekend was also a violent, sometimes deadly, few days.
Almost 40 people were shot, and at least six people were killed.
And that's only through Sunday. Once they stopped counting the weekend, 010 Ogden (Marquette to you old timers) racked up two more. Are they leading the way after all?
A woman died after being found shot in the head in a Little Village alley this morning, officials said.
Chicago police have launched a homicide investigation into the shooting after the woman was found at 5:30 a.m. on the 3000 block of South Kostner Avenue....A man was shot to death in the Lawndale neighborhood this evening, just a few minutes after another man was shot and wounded in the West Rogers Park neighborhood, authorities said.
A man was shot in the chest in the 1500 block of South Spaulding Avenue about 5:36 p.m. and taken to Mount Sinai Hospital, where he was later declared dead....
And in case you were wondering, while NATO was ongoing, this happened last weekend:
- Chicago was focused this weekend on the NATO Summit and the heated clashes between protesters and police in the downtown area, but across the city, seven people were killed and at least 22 more were injured by gunfire.
Remember, those are just the weekend totals. No emphasis on the mayhem that occurs regularly during the week. We must be averaging a killing-plus per day and summer hasn't even officially arrived.

By my count I only have 5 days in May that did not record a homicide and 13 days that have recorded 2 or more homicides.
Also, I have not been able to look up anything the past 3 days. No arrest by address/residence, no new investigative alerts or warrants, no incident searches and no web mapping available.
I wouldn't let you down.

So what are the REAL numbers for the last two weeks?
It sounds like you only have partial numbers? (weekends)
Just wondering - because NO ONE seems to report the "real news" on the news.
Not a LEO, JAFO
Maybe the news outlets will get into how the powers that be order the numbers be cooked to make it appear that we have no crime. And more than enough police. I really don't care if we get near Rio De Janiro numbers. The fact remains that we are ridiculously, dangerously undermanned and the mayor doesn't give a flying fuck about us! Wanna help the pension? HIRE MORE POLICE. You could brainwash the new recruits into being a money generating bunch of ticket writers...at least until they figure out that the mayor is full of shit.
Tribune was reporting 9 and 40.
And the Totals Are...
6 dead, 37 wounded:
---
Is that in Syria, some mid African civil war fighting country, or Chicago, Illinois?
You just can't tell any more. No more police needed however, we have plenty. And never mind that man behind the curtain trying to steal our pensions, work hard and do your job and be grateful for whatever crumbs ballerina leaves for us.
We should simply waive any provision of our contract that the city finds too difficult to comply with. Anything we can do to help Rahm, we're with you brother, we surely are.
Speaking of violence, On this AMs news, it was said that rahm and GMac will unveil a new plan to combat said violence.
What will this be the thirtieth or fortieth "plan?"
Chicago's not ready for change, of any kind.

At this blog CPD is taking a beating over the shooting at 54th and South Shore Drive on Sunday night.
Will Obama put forth a full gun ban once re-elected?
Compats works!!!!! Homicides are down but murduhhhhs are up, right Gahhhhhry?
But remember we have plenty of coppers and weather has no effect on violence.
10 slain, dozens injured in weekend shootings
Killings are double the figure for Memorial Day 2011
According to the summaries, there have been at least 200 homicides so far this year compared with 134 during the same period in 2011. That's a 49.25 percent increase over last year.
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/chi-9-slain-dozens-injured-in-weekend-shootings-20120528,0,2966984.story
Damn there goes our crime reduction ribbon.
As the tact team searched for the gunman on Sawyer, they entered an abandoned house and discovered another dead body that was decomposing .....of course its not a homicide, its a death investigation....
Ok, Mr. Citizen. You get the city that you want. How's that working out for you?
I hope this doesn't mean that nobody will get time due on weekends--- rahmboner and gstring were living high up in the penthouse after the nato success only to be summarily pitched into the gutter the following week like horse poop after the sanctuary city once again erupted in violence--- teachers are ready to strike and city workers are ready for a fight--- not a good thing for obama's home town--- he can't control anything in his home town so how can he control anything anywhere else in this country--- obama is the set up man for hillary clinton in 2016, he can't afford any negative publicity which may come his way from what happens in shitcago....
Anyone know what the Total murders or Agg bats are for the full week? From last Sunday - Memorial day?
I bet 20+ Murders and 100+ Shot... Just interested to see total for week...
13YOA killed in 20 last night. AFTER curfew! Damn.

Where are the true numbers you ask?
They'll be brought to you and the Sheeple in short order, as Governor Quinn and HS Madigan have brainstormed over the weekend to come up with what they say is a great Bill to "save" our pensions.
You will be told the "true" numbers in order to distract you from the sting of the buttfucking we're all about to get. Just some of the main points, as heard on WBBM: retirement age stays 65, but dramatic cuts to the COLA for present employees and retirees alike. Also, those who don't place nice and 'opt out' of going along with the program can expect to be removed from their insurance/health care plan.
Smoke & Mirrors, Sleight of Hand and pay no mind to the man behind the curtain, folks. You WILL be told what's best for you and you WILL keep your mouth shut and not question the almighty Machine..
Looks like Chalkie's going to be a busy fellow this summer
I responded to a shooting in 003, a couple of blocks away a University of Chicago student flagged me down. She was crying and in a panic. She said to me "all I hear is gun fire around here, is this a safe neighborhood to be walking around in"? So, of course I told here the truth, there have been multiple people shot , murders, and dozens of shots fired no miss it's not at all safe. While we stood there talking we heard a barrage of loud reports within close proximity and the women screamed and cried louder she uttered " oh my god Im so scared, what should I do" I got her to a safe place, but I will never forget the image of this young lady who will probably never leave the house again. She was so scared that she literally pissed her self. I forsee a transfer to another school.
SCC - if possible, can you give us an update on Lt. & Sgt. lists? You hear anything about size & when classes will start?
----------------------------------Lt.' July 01
Sgt' mid October. Maybe !!!
Just was with a few big wigs from the hall. This is bonified info.
5/27/2012 09:35:00 PM
The dates and the list changes every day. Hang in there and check back here every day. After all, the reverends must have the final say. The start date has changed several times last week.
Last year the Sgt.'s budgeted strength was 1,365.
As of today we have 1050. That means that they are short 300+ Sgt.'s. not to mention the ones retiring this year because of age, those jumping on the 55yo and out health option before the city pulls it off the table this year, and to those who are going to be promoted to Lt.
They will be short close to 400 Sgt.'s by the end of the year. The class should be a minimum of 100 but then factor in this years budget and that changes everything again.. Less money alloted for supervisors and even new hires. Go figure!
all these totals have to count for something. this needs to be used during our contract negotiations. either hire more officers or expect the same shooting totals to continue or increase. all these so-called new tactics are not doing anything different. this smoke and mirrors game still has the same outcome throughout the city. some districts are improving on their stats, but the other districts are picking up the slack for sure.
I think the total was 53 killed and wounded by gun fire, but how many more by stabbing, beating, and intentional auto crashes?
Time to bump some merit hacks upstairs and bring in some fresh new merit hacks.
Why aren't other agg bats included? Can you imagine how bad that would look?
OT , citizens complain about black on black violence , but support
community activists that demanded a citizen that was protecting himself from becoming a murder victim be charged with murder
same citizens also complain everytime a gang banger is shot by police who are trying to protect their neighborhoods from the criminals
wake up working black america , quit supporting race baiters al dullton , rev jackass , rev flakey and the rest of your leaders that want to keep you down , living among criminals
every black should demand concealed carry and a person like zimmerman to protect the neighborhood
McDrunk & mayor silly should just admit that they haven't got a clue !!!!
The holiday weekend violence is on the national news. How will Emanuel and McCarthy spin this one?
3 day holiday weekend brings us 8 Homicides and 48 others shot. So how's that reorganized Detective Division working out Rahmmie?
most democratic pols are magicians when it comes to numbers. and better yet can look you straight in the eye and lie. what they dont want you to do is to check the city budget, and find out where the money goes. what did they do with the money that should have been put in the pension. or how about money for more pos? it was in the budget but disappeared. dont worry be happy.
We need more contact cards. Ha
"Chicago was focused [that] weekend on the NATO Summit and the heated clashes between protesters and police in the downtown area, but across the city, seven people were killed and at least 22 more were injured by gunfire."
I was wondering about that figure.
There really is a parallel universe going on here. They wouldn't notice the Second Coming. Too busy killing each other.
Amazing.
It is so sad that I actually placed bets with my family back home about who many people would be shot this weekend. I salute CPD, I know you guys aren't given enough credit, but I thank you for doing all you can.
Cook County Judge Marvin Luckman!!!
Remember this pricks name.
Freed protester that attacked CPD Sgt.
10 and 40 for a hot Memorial Day weekend seems about right.
I wouldn't expect any less and I would not be surprised by more.
The man on the radio this morning says that on average it costs $1 million dollars for each person shot in the city. That price includes the ambulance, ER, doctor and hospital, the police, the detectives, the court cost, the prosecutors office, the lawyers, etc.
Chicago has had 851 shooting since the Jan 1, 2012 do the math!
Who are the taxpayers funding? The lawyers!
Law firms making out big time!. When their business starts to decline not to worry the Illinois legislators, or city mayor or city aldermen will create another new law that challenges the US constitution and send more taxpayer money there way.
If the lawyers need more money let in some more illegal immigrants.
Meanwhile the shortage of cops on the beat appears to be more and more bullshit as we see about 20 bike cops trailing 20 protestors downtown as the shootings on the south and west side continue.
CPD has officers plenty of officers if they can waste that amount of man power on this bullshit.
What kind of message is being sent by these actions?
Well some may conclude that the political leaders want the illegal immigrant drug trade to flourish in the city in spite of all the shootings and homicides because the illegal immigrant drug trade draws money in from the rich suburban communities.
That drug money gets spent in Chicago and Chicago collects the sales taxes for example.
842 shooting cases is a bonanza for the lawyers and prosecutors office and they can demand more money and larger budgets for the caseloads thereby building an empire to raise the clouted ones social economic status.
If the mayor stop the drug trade dead in it's tracks tomorrow one wonders what the financial impact would be on Chicago's tax revenue stream?!
So there's not much to be surprised about when we see 43 shootings over the weekend with barely any response when you compare the response given to some small group of political protestors. Who we kidding here?
While some of the blue shirt rank and file may care it doesn't matter. The political apparatus WANTS the shootings to continue. It puts money and power in their pockets.
Follow the money trail. Shootings are a big business, a crisis that you can cash in on if you don't let it go to waste.
You guys will never be able to combat this crime wave with the shit that this city is hiring. I know of dozens of combat-experienced veterans, including myself, who are high (above 4000) on the stupid random hiring list who are looking elsewhere at LAPD, San Diego, San Antonio, etc. I love it how the city is all about Memorial Day, but pisses on all those who returned alive. I'd watch out about the whole "we need more officers." Instead it should be, "we need to hire more fuckers who know discipline, firearms, and have actually encountered firefights and IEDs," otherwise you'll be stuck with all the cooks and grocery store clerks that you're sure to get as probationary officers.
Give them bullets so they can kill even more.
Think your old school media is filtered?

Looks like the Latin Kings are fessin' up for one big shindig in 0008 this coming weekend. I noticed on my way to work through 008, nearly every corner garage south of 55th street to 47th street was tagged with LK crowns & gang grafitti. This city has gotten so sick that the average citizen can look around the hood and predict where the next shootings are going to happen. Somebody's alley will be sprayed with rounds of gunfire. Just hope it ain't mine, and hope that the kids aren't playing ball out there when the shit hits the fan.
Has anyone kept track of how many 'new policies' McNutball has announced since he's been here?
I'm pretty sure it more than half a dozen, and yet, nothing has changed.
Insurgents in Afghanistan are safer than the residents of Chicago.
Amazing that 9.5 let McIdiot talk at the news conference. He must be back in good graces after NATO.
Stop putting cars in fucking boxes for starters it's the stupidest bullshit I've ever seen. There are never any cars available for anything especially back ups. "Squad I can't take that shots fired its outside of my box" silly crap
"...we see about 20 bike cops trailing 20 protestors downtown as the shootings on the south and west side continue..."
"...barely any response when you compare the response given to some small group of political protestors..."
SHUT UP, ANDY.
NATO IS OVER.
OVER.
OVER.
Your last "protestor" [sic] excuse just left on the 2 AM Greyhound, back to wherever it came from, with some bruises, a bag of dirty clothes, and a bunch of blurry $20.00 camera videos no one cares about.
Andy's the only one in Chicago still up on the ceiling about this past event. >snif< >snif< What could it be? >snif<
FINAL TALLY; 10 dead, 39 wounded.
Theyre getting really efficient...
nightly news with Brian Williams ran a segment on the shootings today.
There is a comment somewhere above by an officer who encountered a sobbing college girl who was terrified by the gunshots nearby in Hyde Park.
I sure hope that cop is EXAGGERATING in his commentary. If not, if his account is truthful, then we are just about at the point of NO RETURN in Chicago, the proverbial TIPPING POINT.
McMuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurder! The pre-cogs in Minority Report would never sleep in this city...

If this Department brought in a wave of military veterans, you guys would bite off, chew up and spit out most of the so-called leadership of this Department within eighteen months. You recognize the difference between real leaders and sham leadership.
They can't allow themselves to be exposed by true professionals.

Hah! Even Phil Ponce realized that today and commented on how frequently McEgo has announced yet another new 'plan' recently.
OT: Taxpayers paying for lost revenue during NATO to the parking meter company.
When they tell you that the taxpayers are not paying for the NATO party that means the TAXPAYERS ARE PAYING FOR THE NATO PARTY.
Don't kid yourself!
Thank's CPD for your donation.
Allowing our leaders to bypass funding our pensions to pay for NATO.
Follow the money trail.
You skip the pension contribution so you can award hundreds of MILLIONS of dollars in corporate tax breaks to the corporations.
Then the corporations in turn return $36 MILLION of their tax breaks as a donation for NATO. Out of the $100's of MILLIONS mind you.
Where'd the money come from for NATO?
The Taxpayers. Our public pensions.
Oh the Federal government kicked in $16 MILLION too!
Where does the federal government get it's money for the $16 million dollar NATO grant?
THE TAXPAYERS!!
Yet these people have to gall to stand up on a podium and put out propaganda that the taxpayers are not paying for NATO.
We're all suppose to lose track of this money laundering racket as though the corporate tax break money and the skipping the pension funding money is not fungible.
Apparently Chalkie had majors plans this holiday weekend! Embarrassing to see our city all over local and international news....
Hmmmm...crime reduction "strategy"...hmmm. Guess he's figured out he isn't in OZ anymore. Maybe what we used to do under other leadership wasn't wrong after all. But, of course, it wasn't the "New York Way". Guess we'll title this one, "Dumb and dumber take on Chicago".
Anyone here what happened to the XO in 007 tonight

The department has not wanted to hire people like you in about 30 years I retired 2 yrs ago with 25. If there were more police like you, the city would be paying more bogus law suits, because they won't fight anything, which saves money HA HA. Instead we just pay everyone off. For years the powers that be, want the kinder, gentler police. This is why this city and country is in the mess it's in. Good luck to you and thanks for serving our country!
