Open Your Hearts
- Occupy Chicago activists are looking for help finding fellow demonstrators find a place to stay during the NATO summit, so they’re asking Chicagoans to let them occupy their houses, apartments, back yards, or churches.
Kyle, a housing staffer with Occupy Chicago, said the group is receiving notice from Occupy supporters around the nation who need a place to stay next week through the end of the Summit.
“National Nurses United is sending in 800 people in buses that they’re paying for,” he said. “So that right there is 800. We also have contacts with various occupations saying, ‘Oh, hey, we’re sending up 100 people to you, we’re sending 50 people to you.”
Kyle said Occupy Chicago is seeking space for 2,000 protestors, and says they’ll even accept space donations from Republicans or political conservatives, just so the protestors can avoid sleeping in parks, and avoid being arrested by police.
Well, gee whiz, we can't let these poor people sleep in the parks just so we can hassle them at all hours of the day and night. That wouldn't be sporting. And goodness forbid that they actually come to town with money to spend for hotel rooms, food and bail money - how is Rahm going to get that $128 million that Lori Healey says is going to miraculously turn up at the museums and restaurants downtown during the summit?

...and is cutting them loose onto our streets.
Sounds very nurse-like, huh?
Last time i checked, there was more the ample room in ENGLEWOOD!!!......open lots as far as the eye can see...!!!
"...they’ll even accept space donations from Republicans or political conservatives, just so the protestors can avoid sleeping in parks, and avoid being arrested by police."
These people are on another planet. What the f__k kind of guilt trip are they laying down? We don't want this garbage here in the first place. They don't care about the people of this city -- why on Earth would anyone care what happens to them?
Andy Thayer "grudgingly" -- his exact words -- accepted FREE use of the Petrillo Bandshell WITH NO INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS.
Unbelievable.
heh-heh.. not that much different than the mayors plan to have foreign journalist be put up in residents homes though -- as the media tells it "so that they can get home cooked meals"
How are the hotels and restaurants suppose to cash in on this NATO windfall if all the tourist are in residents homes sleeping and eating there?
At one point during this story somebody said the occupiers coming would be good for business!
They can't afford to stay here! How "good for business" could they be?

How about 9.5's basement. Maybe they can find those boxes he left down there when he moved to DC.
"...how is Rahm going to get that $128 million that Lori Healey says is going to miraculously turn up at the museums and restaurants downtown during the summit?"
My company is having most of us work from home and they've rented office space in the burbs for some key personnel (and if it works out, there is talk of moving out there).
We won't be dining downtown. We won't be parking downtown. We won't be taking taxis or CTA.
Where will this $128 mil come from exactly?
Is it possible that the federal government will "stimulate" the Chicago economy by simply writing a check or two?
I mean, Obama's running again. He's gotta take Chicago/Illinois. He doesn't have Joe Kennedy for a father, how else can he buy his way into the White House again?
Why not let them crash in the lobbies of the police stations like we let our own home grown scumbags do?
these occupy idiots really are a bunch of assholes.i would have thought their hippie mommys and daddys gave them money.
How many s__t bottles is each person bringing to town?
Oh, hey, sure thing, Bedbug. You and your buddy One-Eye there come right in.
Right on! The people, united! Gimme five!
You gotta be kidding.
there is place in the 011th district on midnights-- the homeless MIGHT steal their I-Pads while they are sleeping
So much for Rahm's plan to raise protest fines. If you have no money you have no money and who's going to be punished if and when they get locked up? The taxpayers that's who.
800 nurses. We may need everyone of them.
Weren't there several reports of thefts and sexual assaults at occupy camps last year?
No wonder they're searching for safer quarters this year.
In New York we had fun tossing M-80's into the camps in the middle of the night!
Drive-by M-80 throwing provided quite a bit of amusement.
I do not recommend CPD do this.
No, really. I don't recommend it.
Sign me up I have ample lodging for multiple twenty-something RN's.
Why be a fighter when you can be a lover?
How about 11th District?
Speaking of which, who's the supervisor who dresses in various camouflage attire?
I saw him whining in the 11th district saying something like..
"Nothing is over! Nothing! You just don't turn it off! It wasn't my post-agg batt mission! You asked me, I didn't ask you! And I did what I had to do to get numbers!
But somebody wouldn't let us win! And I come back to the world and I see all those maggots at the district desk, protesting me, spitting. Calling me crime-stats killer and all kinds of vile crap! Who are they to protest me? Who are they? Unless they've been me and been there and know what the hell they're yelling about!"
I have a really nice, dark, damp basement some of these trolls can stay in. I'll accidentally park my truck over the hatch, turn off the sump pump and viola', pickled occupier! lol
Let them occuppy the lobbies of every station in the city. Aren't the city police stations warming centers for the homeless?
Hey SCC, what's with the "Well, gee whiz, we can't let these poor people sleep in the parks just so we can hassle them at all hours of the day and night."
You won't be hassling anyone, you're retired!
I thought the old Joliet State prison was empty. Put them all there for a week. Bread and water on the menu. Fuck them.
nothing like having a bunch of anarchists over for breakfast---
i have a nice alley that they can share with the rats and garbage. they will feel right at home with their own kind!!
Let them know we have accommodations for them in all of our operational police stations. They have been used for warming and cooling centers so why not for these unfortunates? Besides it will be very convenient for them when they want to provoke us,
Clancy Wiggum stated the situation perfectly-"OK, boys set your batons on WHOMP!"
Where is George Soros when you need him?
Hey SCC!
I have a free room for any protesters that are coming to town if they are interested. Is it ok if I post my phone number and address?

Too bad they tore down that motel in Englewood where the Reverend was living on the roof.
Weren't the Occupy people involved in that? Nobody said, "Hey, we've potentially got upwards of 2000 people coming in a few months, maybe we could put up a few in this beat to shit motel?"
By the way, I bet the Occupy housing coordinator is a busy guy, considering the last holdouts on Occupy LaSalle Street were all homeless guys. Bet they're looking for housing in a daily basis.
The Mayor showed up which means a lot no matter what anybody thinks. He bothered to show up to pay respects to our fallen and he dedicated the city sticker to CPD, CFD and Paramedics. That may not mean a lot to everyone but I think it says a lot. Thanks. It's appreciated.
5/07/2012 10:46:00 PM
The Mayor could pay his respects by not having a District car follow him on his morning jogs. That's what his coat holders are for. He could also show his respect by not having a District car go get his morning cup of coffee.
Mayor, you have God knows how many police officer valets. Please leave the District personnel alone. We have work to do.
Hey, Lou Malnati says that protestors have to eat too. I will never go to that shithole again. I hope he goes broke.
Pay for my food, baby sitter, college, birth control, mortgage, cellphone, gasoline...there's no end to the list of what these parasites think their " entitled " to.
Now they want to eat sleep & shit in your house.
Occupiers can go fuck themselves, and it won't cost them a penny.
Let em all stay in the 011 district with the rest of the smelly ass piss bums that already reside there.
Sheet man theys can stay on my front lawn in Englewood. My homies an me will even rob dem at gunpoint to show dem what the 99% is really all about.
Let them stay at the vacant Area 5 upstairs,Perfect!
i'll take a couple nurses in
I know of 25 warming/cooling shelters throughout the City that I'm sure they can use.
How about the lobbies of the station's. due what the bum's do sleep in the lobby
It rubs the lotion on its skin...
They can Stay at my house. I will make sure they dont leave. Ha ha ha
I am more of a libertarian. I would be willing to rent them space to sleep in my yard.
The cuter nurses can sleep inside. No charge.
I own a vacant abattoir near 4300 S. Racine. I'd be willing to house up to 200 protestors. Vacancies will become available daily.
I am NOT bipolar. Delusional? Perhaps.
Yeah. Huge economic boon there, Rahm. Why not try to bring in some tourists who've got money to spend? These people are going to arrive with a $20 bill in their pocket and a pair of underwear. By the end of the week, they won't have changed either one of them.
``Kyle said Occupy Chicago is seeking space for 2,000 protestors, and says they’ll even accept space donations from Republicans or political conservatives..."
Oh, that's rich. We're the enemy, but they will condescend to accept house-room from us? How stupid do they think we are?
I see that they have at least one stooge in Lincoln Square who is willing to put them up. He put his name out there too, which I guess is a good thing - the Lincoln Square businesses will know who to send the bill to when it comes time to replace their broken windows.
I'll bet cash money they all relocate to Lakeview and the DePaul neighborhood. Lots of squirrels there.
"Room and board must include WiFi, choice of Starbucks (with non-dairy options)and access to hosts ATM. Running water optional. Tweet all offers to "Dude2012".
Well since we use the stations as homeless shelters, I'm surprised that Rahm hasn't ordered McStupid to do so.
How about squatting in abandoned houses in Englewood, Roseland, and other fine parts of the city. I'm sure the neighbors won't mind!
only the best for only the worst.
Off topic: A retirement party took place for one our most respected Lts. of the UCPD this weekend. The legacy of John Doty is now complete: All watch commanders have now been fired/forced into
retirement, and now Sgts. run the watches here.
Even though the raving lunatic Doty is gone, his
legacy remains with our equally unqualified chief.
The latest rumor mill is that Lynch will be firing
or laying off Sgts. Our new Asst. Chief has got
to be pulling her hair out trying to figure out
whatever Lynch's next moves will be. Good luck
with that.

Losers.
They can stay with me. However, don't count on them making it to the protest
"Occupy Chicago is seeking space for 2,000 protestors, and says they’ll even accept space donations from Republicans or political conservatives, just so the protestors can avoid sleeping in parks, and avoid being arrested by police."
I am floored by the utter megalomania of these people. "I have a right," and that is that.
In terms of the old fable of "The Ant and the Grasshopper," these are the grasshoppers.
"They do not sow, nor do they reap...no thought of the morrow," or however that goes.
We are here, therefore we matter to you. Our concerns are your concerns. What's yours is ours. It goes without saying that you will provide for our personal needs.
It's a flash mob. They txt msg everyone in their circle, and they all show up here. As SCC said, did they txt msg a hotel reservation first?
It's groupthink -- a mass delusion. They must actually think that everybody is in the loop with them, just by some weird default.
How convenient.
How wrong.
Life is not a smartphone commercial. Remember the really dippy production, with the girl sashaying down the street with her phone as flowers exploded from the manhole covers, amusing walruses dangled from the banana trees, etc? "All we care about is talking -- talking on the phone" went the song.
This is worse than the street garbage that constantly wants fifty cents, a dollar, fifty dollars, a bus card, hand lotion, Kleenex, a cigarette, a match to light it with.
"Lemme see yo' ink pin." Sure, I'll miss my appointment and stand here for twenty minutes while you work out some he-say-she-say mess.
I am not a dispenser -- but that's how they treat you. Same thing here.
They yank at the knob, and something is supposed to come down the chute for them.
This "No human being is illegal" attitude has really spread out -- like an oil spot.
What's even more unbelievable is that we've seen these people run wild, smash up building lobbies, attack police stations, and do milions of dollars of damage all over the country.
They've been posting constant threats on police web logs -- "Let us do whatever we want or we'll sue" (!), they've sabotaged emergency vehicles, and we have seen photographic proof of a crude biological agent being manufactured here -- and it's like butter wouldn't melt in their mouths. They expect, with a straight face, to be welcomed into the homes of complete strangers.
I think not.
How about 11th District?
Speaking of which, who's the supervisor who dresses in various camouflage attire?
I saw him whining in the 11th district saying something like..
"Nothing is over! Nothing! You just don't turn it off! It wasn't my post-agg batt mission! You asked me, I didn't ask you! And I did what I had to do to get numbers!
But somebody wouldn't let us win! And I come back to the world and I see all those maggots at the district desk, protesting me, spitting. Calling me crime-stats killer and all kinds of vile crap! Who are they to protest me? Who are they? Unless they've been me and been there and know what the hell they're yelling about!"
Why didn't you ask him when you saw him? Don't be an anonymous pussy

Yeah, lots of room down there. Amy can make them s'mores, and "have a normal life."
"Maybe they can find those boxes he left down there when he moved to DC."
Yes, the boxes are printed "GOLAN MOVERS." Maybe they'll also find the "light fixtures" that Emanuel took/out/put in when he moved in/moved out/moved in.

Isn't there any room for Occupy at the Pritzker Pavilion?
>sound effect -- one hand washing the other<
They could use the police stations since they're heating/cooling centers for the homeless.
Hey, Lou Malnati says that protestors have to eat too. I will never go to that shithole again. I hope he goes broke.

There is a "Doctors For Obama" out there, too, wth a lot of money and clout -- a "National Hispanic Medical Association," etc. Everything under the sun is now a "public health problem" for these people to stick their nose into -- and get government grants for interfering, too.

"Too bad they tore down that motel in Englewood where the Reverend was living on the roof."
--5/08/2012 05:20:00 AM
They tore it down twice.
First, busloads of free white liberal labor came in from out of town -- probably from Iowa churches -- to superficially pick at the thing. Someone had their little daughter in this dangerous demolition site with a broom, like it was going to do anything.
Everybody got a warm fuzzy feeling, and went away.
Talk about busywork.
Next, the paid-for bulldozer came, and the paid workers flattened the place and scooped it into trucks, like they always do.
What a joke.
Only about $20 million away from the rev having his own personal "Community Center" to absorb still more government grants.
It's a living.
Sure, I'll put them up in my house, and if in the morning they see me get dressed in a suit, later in the day they can renew our acquaintance on the street.

Occupy needs to sleep in someone's safe, private home, or on Wall Street, surrounded by the police. A vacant lot in Englewood wouldn't be good enough for them.

how about the Wilson Men's Club Hotel? a 4x8 room with chicken wire as a ceiling and limitless fellow residents to discuss the philosophy of the world with.

Seriously, pick 011, pick 007 but what one of the posters said is right, empty lots everywhere. Tell the "public" that for a limited time they can set up camps in those spots. No Police Service though as no taxes are being paid. How many would say no? Why? these are the 99% they are fighting for. Camp in those places and see how welcomed you are.
Are any of these nurses hot? they could stay at my place...know what im saying...could have my own NATO (Nurses And Tactical Opportunities) ...yeah baby!!

LOOK LIKE A PROTESTER -- Chicago office workers encouraged to 'dress down' during NATO summit
"Workers at some Chicago office towers are being encouraged to dress down to avoid being targeted by protesters during the meeting of world leaders May 20 and 21. Safety procedures in some high-rises include the recommendation that employees set aside suits, ties and anything with corporate logos."

Well restaurants & grocery stores may see a slight uptick in business if the subjects of Chicago have to feed these people.
But don't worry, it's not gonna cost us a dime, "directly".
Given the possibility of what could happen during that week, I'm talking about a possible terrorist attack with either bio or chemical. With that being said, my question is why would you let anyone that chooses to be down there in your house.

Here is your "National Nurses United" -- farther left than even Obama.
Nurses Launch Protest Web Site and Twitter
“I think there is mass discontent in America,” says Rose Ann DeMoro, executive director of National Nurses United. That’s why her union is introducing ProtestInTheUSA.com, a web site and Twitter feed that would be a “clearinghouse for left politics.” DeMoro agrees with Cornel West that President Obama “has domesticated the left.”
http://blackagendareport.com/category/life-america/national-nurses-united
I have a nice mass gra......I mean unfilled in-ground pool that they could use...... As for the nurses, I too could find ample space for some lovely lasses.
Who is going to take in the old timers on pension when the well off mayor takes away their cost of living raises? He is in Springfield now testifying to stop cost of living raises for 10 years and have workers contribute 1 % more into the already raided and underfunded funds. He says it's to, "improve the citizen's of Chicago's quality of life"? Yep, you hold up your part of the agreement and the city tells you to go eat shit and die. Surprised it's not, "for the children"!
Presented as a public service message --
Hey, out-of-towners. Here's your chance to see Cook County Jail from the outside. You really, really don't want to see it from the inside.
There is no "street cred" to be had to impress your friends back home; you will not want to repeat some of the things that happen in here.

The Racoon went down to Springfield today to voice his opinion about our underfunded pensions. This is the opening salvo to make public employees look like greedy uncaring bastards. The Racoon hooked up with Speaker Madigan. Fuckhead Madigan should be in handcuffs going off to Federal jail for his part in destroying our pensions. But he isn't being blamed for anything. Neither is the Racoon's mentor Richie Daley. That little bastard never put a dime into the pensions all the time he was mayor. So the jagoffs who created this mess will now be the ones trying to salvage it. Good luck and fuck us.

MEMO --
To --
Lori Healey, The Official Chicago Restaurant Booster Lady (who has gone strangely silent all of a sudden after Crain's reported that business is going to take a nose-dive during NATO) --
Reconcile for us the following two paragraphs from the Tribune article --
"One restaurant owner who lives in the neighborhood even suggested [Occupy] might be good for business.
"Occupy Chicago is hosting about 2,000 protestors. The group says it needs free housing for 75 percent of them."
*
“Any commercial space that would be available for hundreds of people, any sort of warehouse space or anything for camping..."
Uh -- we realize that Occupy writes its own rules ("Use Any Tactic," as their representatives keep repeating on Russian television), but is this even legal?
I mean, this city has its own ordinances about sanitation facilities, fire codes, occupancy limits...

Emanuel to state lawmakers on pension costs: 'Day of reckoning has arrived'
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/chi-rahm-emanuel-illinois-pensions,0,6926697.story
We promised you pensions and healthcare and all kinds of things that we can't afford and it's YOUR fault.
All those things YOU have to pay for because we spent the money. Our political friends got no-bid contracts and things and we made up for city shortfalls by shortchanging the pension contributions.
Freezing pension cost of living increases is just another way to chip away at these so-called 'benefits". By the time retirement comes around they will be pretty much worthless and the next generation will point their fingers at you asking why you did not save and plan and invest for yourself..ha..
Bend over people the mayor says your day of reckoning has arrived, not the lying, thieving politicians day of reckoning but yours.
Let me tell you something. Cost of living increases in place today don't even come anywhere close to the rate of increases in healthcare cost. Everyone is already behind the eight ball.
It'd be fun to have them over and serve them Lucky Charms and Pop Tarts for breakfast, bologna sandwiches and Cheetos for lunch, and a big hunk of red meat for dinner. No veggies. Nothing organic.
And make 'em sleep on polyester sheets, and use bathrooms sanitized with bleach. And offer 'em rides in your SUV! Make 'em watch Fox news!
Oh, the possibilities are endless!
Think about this while we're working 12 hour shifts at NATO to save this thankless city!

It makes sense, we can carpool with a demonstrator. Since we are all going to the same demonstration, then afterwards we can de-brief each other.

open up garfield park in 011 and let them co-mingle with the element. no paper....they were once a tree you know.
liberal rats.
You know, that "National Nurses United" has over 100,000 members -- and it is certain that a lot of them joined for reasons other than to be part of a "clearing house for Left politics," as one of the officials calls it.
The situation reminds me of AARP -- a lot of people joined to get the insurance, prescription coverage, etc., not because of its radical anti-gun, pro-nanny agenda.
It is sad to see how these NGOs are co-opted and steered from the top, using the money of a broad base of members at the bottom.

Yeah, it has a "chilling effect" on us 99%. Suborned, pre-empted -- Soros and friends have all the exits covered.
Example of "arrangements" from which, to say the least, we do not benefit -- Mayor Bloomberg's worldwide "financial services" octopus is cleverly building a huge data hub in Dubai to get a slice of the Islamic world's "sharia finance." Ever wondered why -- as good as Al-Jazeera news is -- I've never once heard them even use the word "Israel?"
A lot of things go on -- a lot of "accomodations" and "understandings" are reached -- out on those country club golf courses, where you and I can't hear them.
...but we can see and understand the results in our daily lives.
Oh -- speaking of "huge data hubs" -- here, the NSA busily at work in the Age Of Obama.

Sec. 5-167.1. Automatic increase in annuity; retirement from service after September 1, 1967.
(a) A policeman who retires from service after September 1, 1967 with at least 20 years of service credit shall, upon either the first of the month following the first anniversary of his date of retirement if he is age 60 (age 55 if born before January 1, 1955) or over on that anniversary date, or upon the first of the month following his attainment of age 60 (age 55 if born before January 1, 1955) if it occurs after the first anniversary of his retirement date, have his then fixed and payable monthly annuity increased by 1 1/2% and such first fixed annuity as granted at retirement increased by an additional 1 1/2% in January of each year thereafter up to a maximum increase of 30%.

suggestion:
they can pitch tents in all the vacant lots on the west and south sides, I'm sure the citizens of Lawndale and Englewood will welcome them with open arms and strong arms.
They can occupy 35th St and city hall. Try sleeping on Rahm's sidewalk and front yard; how about Daley letting them hang out with him in that "friends" pad he is staying at on Michigan Ave., I'm betting he's not even paying for it.
Can't they sleep over at the major TV station lobbies? How about the CEO of ABC, CBS and NBC share their home with the protestors?? Open up your liberal hearts and homes to a bunch of disgruntled anarchists.

Who is going to take in the old timers on pension when the well off mayor takes away their cost of living raises? He is in Springfield now testifying to stop cost of living raises for 10 years and have workers contribute 1 % more into the already raided and underfunded funds. He says it's to, "improve the citizen's of Chicago's quality of life"? Yep, you hold up your part of the agreement and the city tells you to go eat shit and die. Surprised it's not, "for the children"!
5/08/2012 12:54:00 PM
-------------------------------
No cost of living increases for the next ten years for city pensions!!!
A lot can happen in ten years.
For example:
A cost of living increase of 7% per year for ten years will almost double your money!
Compounded interest at 7% per year.
Year / ROI
0 = $1.00
1 = $1.07
2 = $1.14
3 = $1.22
4 = $1.31
5 = $1.40
6 = $1.50
7 = $1.60
8 = $1.71
9 = $1.83
10= $1.96
So when the mayor cuts your cost of living increases for ten years it could well mean that your pension benefits will be cut in half.
And needless to say, cost of living when it comes to healthcare is soaring above any of the current COL adjustments as it is. Enjoy your retirement in poverty. Broken promises and lies. Written contracts of not. We can ignore the US constitution, the Illinois constitution. Pick and choose what laws get enforced and on who and you think that you're special and your union contract will be different.
HA.
We're all just one layoff notice away from being in the Occupy crowd.

So what ordinance is being broken?
If the beach is so crowded that you can't even move for any of those events I never seen any ordinance violations being written...is that because corporate interest are benefiting therefore public safety doesn't matter? Politicians can pick and choose and make it up as they go and if you buy into that concept wait till you see how your union contract and pension benefits get shredded..

Never mind these goofs, They'll be gone in a few weeks. On the other hand Rahm will be sticking it to us for years. Pension reform as he calls it, means we are giving out of our pockets, however the politicians who neglected to contribute to our fund as was agreed walk away. How many billions did short shanks funnel to his pals that should have kept our fund moving forward. This is criminal and should be pursued after. All of our unions should be demanding a federal investigation, loudly demanding. The real criminals occupy city hall and the capital.
The ACLU and the lawyers are looking forward to the multimillion dollar windfall profits. Coming to the NATO summit for some is like buying a lotto ticket, hoping to cash it in.
Meanwhile down in Springfield as the lawmakers have defeat handed to them on the Chicago ease-dropping ordinance in the Fed courts. No sooner than that constitutional challenge is knocked down -- the lawmakers are now busy preparing another law to replace it regarding the public photography of law enforcement officers during their duty.
Also more gun ordinances to challenge another constitutional amendment is on it's way.
Like we have money to burn on this nonsense.
It's effing ridiculous. A busted city, a busted state and the lawmakers focus is to create non-stop court battles challenging peoples constitutional rights...using public pension fund money to pay the lawyers and the law firms to do it.

To:11:10AM
My wife is a nurse and is also apart of that union. I was the one who informed her about her union sending nurses to NATO. She said the funny thing is that they never notified anyone or took a vote about going. This was done behind there backs ( sound familiar ). So don't go rushing to judgement about nurses. My wife has called her union to complain along with most of her coworkers. if this comment sounds like I am taking your comments personally it is because I am. Almost every nurse I have meet is 100% pro police, they know and see the shit we have to deal with. They are just as pissed off at their union as I am.

I seen a 20's-something female who looked like she needed a bath, walking down I55 with a backpack on today. Looked like an "Occupier"/Protestor. Wondering why she was out at I55 and Harlem. In the past I have seen several in that area just sitting in the grass at the bottom of the ramp in Forest View. I wonder if they have a flop house out in this area.....
To pile on here, the natoprotest.org/map/ has a map of "abandoned" buildings and in some cases recommendations for how to get in.
