New Holiday Tradition
Detroit had Devil's Night.
Chicago has "Close the beaches on Memorial Day."
Chicago has "Close the beaches on Memorial Day."
- North ave. Beach was so out of control 1860 gave out order to close beach around 1930 hrs. 30 sec. later 1800x rescinded order and just said to close down the boat house. Lmao. didn't same thing happen last year?
And the only people covering it so far? WGN News:
- Chicago police were called to North Avenue Beach to break up a fight Sunday night.
The beach was crowded with people who were enjoying the day's record high temperatures.
But things got too heated, when a fight broke out on the beach.
A witness says the altercation started small, but then it spread.
Police SUVs arrived at the scene to break up the crowd.
Officials did not say if any arrests were made.Police shut down North Avenue Beach in 2011.
Officials said too many people were overcome by heat, and rescuers had a hard time reaching victims because of the crowds.
Ah yes, the oft repeated lie that people near 6 quadrillion gallons of freshwater can't find a way to keep cool while a few hundred gang bangers fight in full view of the public, even though ambulances have been responding to the lakefront for about 100 years or so.
Sunday was only 200 gang bangers fighting according to reports, so we can see why 1800X wanted to avoid the publicity of shutting down a beach for a second straight year. Well done! Unfortunately, Memorial Day will be here again in a year and we're betting the gangs already have plans to "celebrate" next May.

Did you forget about me?
I am covering it...
Just messing with ya!
Hey, I got an idea! How about putting together a unit specifically for the lakefront that writes tickets, makes arrests and makes things nice for decent people. What will we call it? How about something catchy like....Summer Mobile Unit! Yeah, thats the ticket.
Ok, I call bullshit.... It's really about 1.3 x 10^15th gallons. Google it!!!! Just giving you the business a little, SCC! It's kinda hard to find that water when it's not six quadrillion gallons full. It's been dry, you know.
ran by the north ave beach this weekend, earlier in the afternoon, and was amazed by the hundreds if not thousands of ganbangers.... all boozen out of plastic cups and smoking blunts, not by the water, all standing in groups along the path and by the boat house... talking shit to normal people, trying to trip runners and knock people off bikes...ohh and no police, BECAUSE RAHM WON'T HIRE ANY.... iam amazed there was not a shooting(s) there this weekend....
Hmmm, two young women were pulled from the lake today after falling off their jet ski. They were treated for HYPOTHERMIA, since the lake water is 60-65 degrees at this time of year.
But, since it's much too hot on the nearby sand, people have to go HOME?
Let the North Ave Beach Overtime begin!
Shitheads have run the beaches and streets in 18 for a couple of years now. I advise everyone I know to not even go anywhere in 18 unless they're packing some heat. Shitheads beating and robbing people on every street, the El trains, the bus stops, the bars and restaurants. Forget about the beaches unless you want to go on a cold weekday and get yhe hell out of there before noon.
Gun sales are exploding throughout this country for exactly this reason. The savages have been coddled by the democratic machine for votes for so long that they are out of control. It will only get worse. Arm youself people because they are inside the wire.
1800X Great guy and he works his ass off.
Gangs have been Fighting @ North Ave Beach since the 50s. It's become yuppified hence the hue & cry things are out of control. If you grew up here you'd have known that

This is what the 'ethnic tipping point' looks like.
I'm originally from Detroit, but we left when it got too brutal in the late 60's. My dad took a job in Gary. We had to leave Gary in the early 1980's, moved to East Side where I was raised and inherited the family home. We got ran out of there in the mid 1990's.
The issue here is race.
Not culture, not oppression, not society, not the mayor, not the police. The issue is race and unfortunately, we're living in a Naked Emperor era as far as honestly appraising the racial issue.
The breakpoint comes when decent, productive people can no longer go for walks, go to the beaches, go into restaurants without being accosted or otherwise having to deal with the 'thrilling diversity' of ghetto shitbags and their retard animal behaviors.
History will judge the era we live in with amusement. Just this week, it was announced that the majority of babies born in the United States are now 'minority'.
The consequences for this are gigantic, yet naturally, we can't honestly talk about what it all means. We're supposed to pretend the thugs on display at North Avenue Beach are no different than their 16-24 year old Japanese counterparts; it's a failing of 'society' that distinguishes them?
So, in the meantime, we try and cure this cancer with hope and dreams, idealism, good intentions and delusional optimism... as Rome burns around us.
In Hyde Park we had a shooting at 54th and South Shore Drive.
People foresaw what was leading to the incident taking place and called 911 and were told that the police had other priorities. A squad from the University responded and the officers never got out of the vehicle, just exchanged pleasantries and departed.
Twenty minute later 11 shots fired, one asshole shot in the head and the citizenry are pissed at the 911 operators and the police.
What the hell is happening?
oops..... 10 and 41 now.
Thank you for reporting this, SCC. Yes, the last two days the South and West side thugs invaded North Ave. beach. A tourist came up to me and said, "I'm from New York and by no means prejudice, but I took my kids to North Ave.Beach and it look like South Harlem their. There was so much tension in the air, you knew a fight was going to break out "... All I could think to myself at that moment was Wow! If he only knew the real deal about Chicago and our beaches.
Too bad jelli-fish can't handle fresh water. They'd tale care of the beach like they do in Florida.
My son and I were at Oak Street Beach Sunday and I noticed the clientele starting to change around 5. We left and now I'm thankful we did. These wildabeasts were coming in 5-10 at a time.
1800X Great guy and he works his ass off.

Lol April first was a couple months back, so you are a little late posting this one...
North Ave beach has been great for the last 15 years at least, minus the last two years. I was thinking about what changed that might have caused all this, and came up with the disbanding of summer mobile as a possibility.
Anyone who works in a lakefront district should know that alcohol is not allowed on park district property. So anyone with any opened or even unopened alcohol can be cited or arrested. It's time that starts being enforced.
It's too bad though, b/c me and my friends would brings drinks down there and enjoy them without ever having any incidents. These ghetto fucks ruin it for everyone.
OT: A 14 year old shot and killed last night at --- 2:44 in the morning--- while eating pizza in a pizza/liquor store. Should the parents not be held somewhat accountable for letting their child be out that late?
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/chi-teen-dies-after-early-morning-uptown-neighborhood-shooting-20120529,0,6503948.story
@ 4:58am. Have you not been paying attention? No police were sent because there ARE NO POLICE TO SEND. When the shots are finally fired, police respond, and someone on some other side of town calls 911 because things are getting rough, and 911 tells them there are other priorities. And on and on and on. We shuffle POs from one place to another, and are told we have more cops on the street. The mayor and the papers say crime is down! Weather doesn't affect crime! Those higher murder numbers don't mean murder is up! And you still ask, what is going on here.
In Hyde Park we had a shooting at 54th and South Shore Drive.
People foresaw what was leading to the incident taking place and called 911 and were told that the police had other priorities. A squad from the University responded and the officers never got out of the vehicle, just exchanged pleasantries and departed.
Twenty minute later 11 shots fired, one asshole shot in the head and the citizenry are pissed at the 911 operators and the police.

The same exact thing that happened last year. Female, by all accounts not an asshole, was caught in the crossfire at the same location and killed.
63rd street beach was out of control, numerous shots fired calls.

Let's see, you took 021 and rolled it into 002. Made the beats larger, and have beat cars held on other missions, foot posts etc. When you closed 021 what did you expect? People, especially people in Hyde Park are going to have longer response times. Not to mention 002 also has Washington Park to deal with and clear out just at the same time most beaches would be getting cleared out. And clearing out Washington Park ain't no picnic.
You also have cops from 002 who are not familiar with the layout of the lakefront/ how to get in and out of these area quickly. If you never were assigned over there it's going to take a while to get a feel for the area.
So BS missions, foot posts, bigger beats, lack of cars, Washington Park and beaches in same district, oh and low manpower = longer response times. If you live in 021 I would get to know your University Police - you may need them. Don't blame dispatchers and police- blame the fools who closed a police station.
SCC,
any thoughts about this guys youtube channel? http://www.youtube.com/user/Chicago24thWard Open air drug dealing on the shitside of the city! Hes doing your work for you!

I think that either you are grossly overstating the issue or are totally full of it. Yes, bars late at night have always had fights. But, restuarants? BS. Name some that had fights with the exception of a White castle or tib joint at 1 am ? The beaches can be out of hand and the department should bring back the Summer Mobile Force. I worked it for a few years back in the day and we stopped a lot of problems. Stop everyone bringing in a cooler and have them dump the alcohol for starters.
On the upside, I had a great bike ride from 91st and California to Rogers Park, through many neighborhoods--all deserted, quiet, everyone at the beach. The Lakefront Bike Path and all the beaches are really only good for draining people away from the city itself.
018 had a beach detail for years and everything was OK. Some idiot removed it because nothing was happening at the beaches. Duh!
5/29/2012 04:58:00 AM
Hyde Park is a ghetto. plain and simple. Proof is in the White House.
Well since the animal that doesn't follow the law is allowed to carry concealed to "protect he self" why can't the law abiding citizen? I wonder why Illinois is he last state in the WHOLE COUNTRY to screw it's citizens... I will never go to North Ave. beach again. Thanks for ruining another decent thing the city had. Everything you get your hands on you ruin for everyone you *ucking scumbags!
Just a question...how the Hell could the majority of babies be minority? Sounds like a bad joke!
The NEW totals --
AT LEAST 10 KILLED, OVER 40 SHOT DURING HOLIDAY WEEKEND -- Killings are double the figure for Memorial Day 2011
By Stacy St. Clair, Chicago Tribune reporter
6:59 a.m. CDT, May 29, 2012
"A man was shot dead near a raucous outdoor holiday party in the South Shore neighborhood late Monday night, bringing the number of homicides to 10 during a warm and violent Memorial Day weekend.
"More than 40 shootings were reported during the four-day weekend. The city has had more homicides and shootings so far in 2012 than during the same time last year, according to unofficial briefing summaries prepared by the Chicago Police Department..."
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/chi-9-slain-dozens-injured-in-weekend-shootings-20120528,0,2966984.story

"A 14-year-old boy was shot and killed while eating pizza with his older sister in the Uptown neighborhood early this morning,
"The shooting happened about 2:45 a.m. in a pizza and liquor store in the 5100 block of North Broadway...
"The boy was inside with his adult sister and her friend when a gunman standing on the sidewalk fired shots through the doorway...
"The boy suffered a gunshot wound to the face and was taken in critical condition to Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center, where he later died..."

This city has been in the shitter for quite some time- and it's getting worse every year. You can't enjoy something as simple as a day at the beach here. It is overcrowded with a ton of illegal immigrants, each mother with at least 7 kids in tow. You can't walk 5 feet without hearing some ghetto base thumping system. Every dumbass with a grill dumps the coals in the grass or on the trees. I swear chicago should win the award for fattest city- you can't turn around without seeing some 300 lb. woman walking by in a bikini. And yes, the thugs are all out "representin" and causing problems adding to the scenery. One of the very few things the city has left to offer, which cannot be enjoyed by those who live, work, and pay for it. A little advice from someone who plans to retire far, far away from this crap: when planning your move, look for a state with strict welfare regulations and pro- firearms.
A group exchange with Kim Jong-un could be very beneficial. They could all be sent to Yodok North Korea and bring all the enslaved citizens in Yodok back here to America. Our group really belongs in a place like that. Their group really belongs in a place like this.

Yes.
"The breakpoint comes when decent, productive people can no longer go for walks, go to the beaches, go into restaurants without...having to deal with ghetto shitbags and their retard animal behaviors."
This happened along the south lakefront (57th Street Beach, The Point, etc.) around 1966. Families used to take their little kids out there, cook a hot dog on the (municipally-provided) barbecue grill, have a quiet good time.
Suddenly you coulldn't ride a bike there anymore without carrying at least a ball-peen hammer. The underpass became a graffitti-covered, urine-soaked obstacle to be gotten through as fast as possible, and the park filled with hundreds of men with huge drums of all sizes and descriptions.
The nighttime drumming carried out over the water for miles, with the residents of the once-great apartment hotels bordering the park complaining until it made the newspapers.
I still remember the spectacular summertime 10-1s -- at least a dozen squad cars in line, four-deep, screaming east on 55th Street.
...and today?

I think you will see society say ENOUGH. When the people of Bridgeport/Wrigleyville came out to confront the Occupy Scumbags they were saying ENOUGH. When good people are brutalized on Mich Ave by uncivilized,rabid dogs eventually even the most Liberal will say ENOUGH. Hopefully this will spill over to the Ballot Boxes in Nov, in that this President condones racially motivated intimidation by his words, actions and associates. Register and VOTE!!

Disagree. The issue here is culture, not race. I'm as Black as the ace od spades, and I assure you,you'd be proud to have me as your neighbor. Just as my mostly White neighbors are currently are. It isn't race that makes some people act like common thugs. It's culture i.e. their upbringing...the manner in which they were raised. It's not where they were raised. Because I was raised in one the worst ghetto-fied areas of this city. Yet, I'm a college graduate. Never been arrested or even stopped by police. Know why? Because I wasn't raised that way. It wasn't my culture. My father kept a foot in my ass. I knew what was acceptable behavior, and what wasn't. He saw to it that I went to school and performed. He saw to it that I didn't run with the gangs in my then, west side neighborhood. He did his job as a father and insured that his son didn't grow up admiring and or emulating gangbangers and dope sellers. My father made sure thug-ism wasn't my culture. If you think shithead-ness is indigenous simply to race, I suggest you watch the HBO documentary, Bangin In Little Rock. You'll see redneck assholes from rural America engaging in the same bullshit thug life antics as any innercity, Black thug.
Lest we not exclude Hispanic gangbangers. No sir, criminal behavior isn't simply a race thing. It's a culture thing.

You see young man, about fifty years ago the government provided low cost, no money down loans to blacks who moved out of the slums on Cottage Grove and into southside neighborhoods like Englewood and Hyde Park. The whites in those areas wanted no part of this so they sold their homes and moved to places like Oak Park and Orland.
The government soon learned that the people weren't IN SLUMS they were CREATING SLUMS and the southside soon became a large slum.
So, it has been this way for fifty years. And, actually young man, it used to be a hell of a lot worse. So, that's what's happening.
this how to get the gangbangers out of north ave beach, let them open the fire hydrants in their hoods, like in the past, water in da hood means safer beach. To be honest I miss those fire hydrant days with about 2-3 tires wrapped around them and a piece of wood sticking out making a sea shell of water the whole block would come out and get wet at the Hood's Beach
"...ran by the north ave beach this weekend, earlier in the afternoon, and was amazed by the hundreds if not thousands of gangbangers....iam amazed there was not a shooting(s) there this weekend..."

New law...In order to become mayor you must sit with your family next to the gangbangers at North Ave Beach boathouse during every summer weekend. Get rid of the residency for Mayor rule, because it showed to be bullshit.
No junkets to other places on the weekends to get out of Dodge.. Also don't change the E-Colli beach closing procedures.

Despite weekend violence, top cop says anti-gang strategy working
By Jeremy Gorner and John Byrne Tribune reporters
1:23 p.m. CDT, May 29, 2012
"Despite coming off a bloody holiday weekend in Chicago that saw 10 people shot and killed and close to 40 others wounded, Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy said the department's strategy to curb gang violence throughout the city is working.
"Flanked by Mayor Rahm Emanuel, several aldermen and police command staff at the Washington Park Fieldhouse on the South Side, McCarthy told reporters at a news conference Tuesday that shootings across the city have decreased by 7 percent since the department began its "gang audits..."

Excellent post.
You're exactly right.
And if anyone like you or I stood up and said it publicly, we would be so fucking villified in this society that we'd have to go into hiding.
When do we reach that tipping point when the good people of our society finally say "enough is enough"?
at least you are not dealing with cannibals like they are in Miami.
Miami police are still tight-lipped about the man they shot and killed on the MacArthur Causeway Saturday afternoon, but new details back claims they had no choice: the naked man they shot was trying to chew the face off another naked man, and refused to obey police orders to stop his grisly meal

The Evil Racoon has announced the creation of a new city dept. The Ministry of Information. As of today all news will be sent to the Minsitry for it to be redacted if it includes any information about shootings, Gangster activity, Flash Mobs, lakefront riots, or deaths from violence within the city limits of Chicago. Anyone leaking information about crime in Chicago will be arrested and put in a reeducation camp to get their minds right.
I guess all of the beaches south of55th Street aren't good enough for the savages anymore. They wanted Sherman Park, they took that over, Marquette Park, they got that, and have run that and the entire southwest side neighborhood into the ground, too. Hopefully they will all kill each other off in another year.

Actually it's more often on the golf course, or walking along a beach in Hawaii eating "shave ice," but who's counting...
Over 250 18-hole games played since taking office, more than any other president, according to the Secret Service -- who I guess WAS counting...
I am genuinely impressed that Michelle did not kick off her shoes and simply run away screaming a week into the new administration -- as she gave every sign of doing. "We need to get out of that White House...get out of that White House...get out of that White House." I kept hearing. Now it's "We're not coming back to Chicago when Barack's job is done."

I think that either you are grossly overstating the issue or are totally full of it. Yes, bars late at night have always had fights. But, restuarants? BS. Name some that had fights with the exception of a White castle or tib joint at 1 am ? The beaches can be out of hand and the department should bring back the Summer Mobile Force. I worked it for a few years back in the day and we stopped a lot of problems. Stop everyone bringing in a cooler and have them dump the alcohol for starters.
5/29/2012 09:53:00 AM
And will stop the individuals carrying coolers? A few years ago, we had the summer mobile force and they had control of the beach. Now you might have four officers handling a crowd of thousands at the beach. Dept will not acknowledge the manpower shortage and and that weather is a factor in crime. Go figure. FUBAR

Disagree. The issue here is culture, not race. I'm as Black as the ace od spades, and I assure you,you'd be proud to have me as your neighbor. Just as my mostly White neighbors are currently are. It isn't race that makes some people act like common thugs. It's culture i.e. their upbringing...the manner in which they were raised. It's not where they were raised. Because I was raised in one the worst ghetto-fied areas of this city. Yet, I'm a college graduate. Never been arrested or even stopped by police. Know why? Because I wasn't raised that way. It wasn't my culture. My father kept a foot in my ass. I knew what was acceptable behavior, and what wasn't. He saw to it that I went to school and performed. He saw to it that I didn't run with the gangs in my then, west side neighborhood. He did his job as a father and insured that his son didn't grow up admiring and or emulating gangbangers and dope sellers. My father made sure thug-ism wasn't my culture. If you think shithead-ness is indigenous simply to race, I suggest you watch the HBO documentary, Bangin In Little Rock. You'll see redneck assholes from rural America engaging in the same bullshit thug life antics as any innercity, Black thug.

5/29/2012 11:34:00 AM
Unfortunately you are both right. Good parenting and a proper up bringing brings a stop to the "Thug" Lifestyle no matter what race you are. That being said race does play a factor because when the white kids are acting like a thug and called out on it they do not have the race card to pull out. Unfortunately blacks, and to a lesser extent, Hispanics are trained by their "Leaders (Al, Jessie, Luis, etc) to pull out the race card when they interact with the Police and use it to muddy up the issue of their misbehavior. They go so far as to pull it on Black and Hispanic Officers.
Unfortunately till society has enough guts to hold a person responsible for their actions regardless of race you will continue to see what happened at North Ave Beach.

It takes a mature individual to go through life and take people fairly, deal with each as he finds them to be right or wrong. When you get the less mature, though, "blood is thicker than," and it breaks down along racial lines real fast.
Like Col. Jeff Cooper, U.S.A. (Ret.) once said, "You don't have to worry about choosing up sides in a race war. The other side will take care of that for you."
Of course, the thug-life immaturity in all races is fostered and exploited by the Hollywood mechanism that produces obscene, violent rap videos. This material comes out in Polish, you get Polish bangers.
The worst enemy in America is the one behind the camera, the one selling those DVDs and clothes and shoes and bling to the poor and ignorant. Name him, and you name the root of the problem.

Perhaps the City can get the Jerry Lewis' Labor Day Telethon Tote-Board erected by North Ave Beach, or maybe put it up at 35th & Mich or City Hall so everyone can keep tabs on the stats.
I'm watching Chicago Tonight, and they spent about 10 minutes or so discussing the "new" strategy of combating violence. The "reporter" whose segment this was said something like, "This has hit a little too close to home...one of our reporters had a bullet go through her front window. And an apartment building that President Obama lived in ten years ago also had a bullet go through its window."
Really? Now the violence is urgent?
In the same segment they showed Rahm Emanuel wildly gesticulating with pinwheels in his eyes muttering about combined forces and rising above. OK.
There are still many police officers doing office work in districts . Mcgoofy can't find them .
5/29/12 1134am....man that was a mouthful of truth,and I admire your honesty,I too am a man of color,but not as much ,lighter complected and live in an mostly white area,in which I am a good neighbor and treated very well,I also have to agree with the same manner in which my father raised me ,strict and lots of respect,school emphasized,drugs and gangbanging was totally out of the question,I was stopped by the police a few times waste of time for them and a learning experience for me,I will check out Banging in Little Rock,sounds interesting.Thanks for sharing The truth brother! I always thought there should be classes for parenting,cause a lot of people just don't know what there doing!
To the original commenter about the alleged shooting at 54th in Hyde Park. Where do YOU get off calling the victim a S_ _ _head ? Oh, and your "pissed off at the police".
Question; who died and left YOU as THE judge of us all ?
As another wise commenter noted, a young lady who had just graduated from college was caught in crossfire and died at 57st beach last year. She was a citizen with a great future ahead, by all accounts a good girl but in the wrong place at the wrong time. Tragic. And OBNOXIOUS to call others "S_ _ _ heads"
Excellent post.
You're exactly right.

It's kind of getting old that every time we have a bad bloody weekend the mayor and Supt announce a "new strategy" to deal with gang shootings. First of all, they are not new strategies just reheated versions of things that were already tried. Secondly, if we constantly are coming up wit these "new strategies" are we admitting the last 5 were a total failure? Why not bring back SOS?

Agreed. I study local history extensively, and the changes in Chicago over the last fifty years are as profound as...it's as though we had been carpet-bombed.
I would say that 90% of the businesses, the manufacturing, that we had here in, say, 1960 are all gone now. They did not build the Lake Street "L" to provide fast, convenient passenger service to blocks and blocks of glass-strewn vacant lots. That used to be a tremendous manufacturing corridor, tens of thousands of jobs.
I have pictures of white families in their Sunday best, standing outside their little house in Avalon Park, getting ready to go to Easter mass. Today, you see that same block on TV at night, with blue lights wavering and yellow tape all over.
No room here for all of it, no room in 100 volumes for all of it.
Suffice it to say that the artist's-conception economy we have now -- a mere sketch of sleek people sitting at riverwalk cafes, sipping "artisan coffee" while "flipping condos" by moving their finger on their smartphone -- cannot stand.
There is no such thing as a "service economy". It has never existed anywhere. An economy must be based on production, , on the creation of wealth -- not upon the drawing of "financial products" in the air.

Two banks robbed within minutes on Northwest Side
Updated: 5/30/2012 1:02:31 PM
"CHICAGO (WLS) - Two banks about two miles apart were robbed within 10 minutes of each other Wednesday morning on the Northwest Side.
"The first robbery occurred at 10:13 a.m. at the First Merit Bank branch in the 7200 block of West Addison Street, FBI spokeswoman Joan Hyde said.
"A lone male wearing a dark baseball cap and dark plaid shirt displayed a handgun and vaulted the bank counter. He fled with an undetermined amount of cash, but a possible suspect is in custody, Hyde said."
"The second robbery occurred about 10 minutes later at a TCF Bank branch in the 7300 block of West Foster Avenue, Hyde said. A lone male wearing a white head covering and dark glasses passed a note demanding cash to the teller. He fled on foot with an undetermined amount of cash."
http://www.wlsam.com/Article.asp?id=2466019&spid=
Offenders were Hispanic males. 1 is in custody, proceeds and apparently weapon recovered, dye pack all over him, extremely good witness to ID, FBI processing things...
Buh-bye.
"I guess all of the beaches south of 55th Street aren't good enough for the savages anymore. They wanted Sherman Park, they took that over, Marquette Park, they got that, and have run that and the entire southwest side neighborhood into the ground, too."
--5/29/2012 04:45:00 PM
"All of the beaches south of Winnetka," more like.
They have no reason to be anywhere at all. Standing around drinking liquor from plastic cups, smoking pot, tripping runners, and lunging at bicyclists is not a function that society needs.
But -- wherever they can go they will go, just to be there.
The only limit is their physical numbers.
I passed by a telephone company switching building -- a blank-walled concrete thing, built to 1960s nuclear-resistant standards. Very plain, very uninteresting, operates largely unmanned today except for maintenance guys.
No attraction to it at all, one would think -- except that Ma Bell had put a picnic table outside the front door, for employees to eat lunch on a nice day.
...and out of the clear blue sky, the table was just covered, kids running back and forth through heavy traffic, to and from the mob there. Just random motion and noise, tremendous excitement over something no one else can ever see.
Nothing going on for blocks, just this one freaking picnic table, swarmed like ants on a dropped candy bar.
"Hopefully they will all kill each other off in another year."
Not in fifty years. Not without an awful lot of help.

I find it very amusing to see someone associate crime/bad behavior with race. Race alone is not a factor when it comes to criminal behavior. Now there is no sense denying that the majority of violent crimes are committed by blacks. But the reason why that is the case is because of the way they are raised. In the late 1800's to 1940's urban America was a very dangerous place to live. It was the most violent era our nation ever experienced. With cities full to the brim, new immigrants arriving on a daily basis, etc... and the majority of crime was committed by whites.

*Withal, greatly oversimplified and reliant primarily on proof by assertion.
*Time period very broad and not at all homogeneous; encompasses at least two major depressions, several wars, etc.
*"Very dangerous place to live? Most violent era?" ???
*"...new immigrants arriving on a daily basis." No. There were several different periods of immigration -- and of restrictions on immigration - during this period.
*"...the majority of crime was committed by whites." Disingenuous. In terms of sheer number, quite possibly correct in a country that may have been 90% White. I'd have to see the rate-per-100,000 of different crimes among different racial groups to determine which group was actually the most criminogenic.
Barely a start on a good research paper. Definitely not the conclusions of one.
"'Hopefully they will all kill each other off in another year.'
Not in fifty years. Not without an awful lot of help."
Chalkie, are you listening?
BTW, White Appalachia has MORE welfare recipients than the entire black community of Chicago. Just making a point, and I'm as white as they come.

Sorry, but exactly what IS your point?
Does one group getting aid make the other right? Does one (and which one?) group receiving aid show that it's bad the other group receives aid? Does one negate the other one? What is your point?
"White Appalachia has MORE welfare recipients than the entire black community of Chicago."
A. Proof? Numbers? Source?
B. What is "White Appalachia?" How many STATES is that spread over?
That's an old one.

This is not unusual for Chicago.. it must be embarrassing to live by beaches that have to be closed when the weather becomes BEACH WEATHER.. always knew those beach closings were NOT for water quality.. When I was in the city we got a pool for the back yard just to keep the kids away from the beaches and they were better back then..
But don't fear we have the TASTE.. JAZZ FEST.. etc all coming up.. those should try the patients of the CPD while RAHM can LIE to the public.. about how safe these things are.. My entire family quit going to the lake about 15 years ago.. to rough at night or when it's hot.. such a shame that these gangs have become so bad that they rule the area's that taxpayers all pay to enjoy.. because the MAYOR(S) are scared to admit they have failed the people..and failed to stand behind the CPD when they bust the gang bangers..
