Hospital Warnings

  • People who live and work in the Streeterville neighborhood are being warned to be on alert after two doctors were attacked outside Northwestern Memorial Hospital.

    The doctors were confronted by a group of people as they walked home alone from the downtown medical campus around 10 p.m. In both incidents, the doctors were roughed up, but there was no demand for property, and neither physician was robbed. The victims were not seriously injured.

    Northwestern Memorial Hospital and the new Lurie Children's Hospital sent safety memos to their employees this week, alerting them of the attacks.

And the traditional liberal solutions are in full evidence:

  • The alerts offer some tips. For instance, don't confront an attacker, comply with demands for personal property, and try to remember as many details about the attackers that you so you can.
Just enjoy it as part of the new traditional Chicago experience.

They only put the alert out because two physicians were battered and robbed.

They could carelesss about the tourists because they don't reside or work here.

The BS has become transparent.

"comply with demands for personal property"

They didn't ask for property, they just wanted to act like savages. How much you want to bet the offenders were black and the victims/doctors were not? Come on liberals put your money where your mouth is and take the bet. I'd like to make a few bucks on your ignorance. Now go bury your head back in the sand.

I'm telling you, I'm bear-spraying these motherfuckers and treating them as the predators they are. The bear spray momentarily neutralizes the predator so you have time to get away. So while I hate to say I will run, I'm not sure I can handle 13-15 of them, as fit as I am. I will hit them with the OC and move away.

You gonna arrest me? I'm not trying to deliberately injure. I'm not even punishing. I'm spraying the bear and then getting away before he can hurt me.

Passivity is the same policy the gov't brainwashed in airline passengers and it evolved in to hijackers being more deadly and 9-11.

The way you stop any kind of aggression is by protecting yourself with overwhelming force and by that I mean deadly force. Yes, even when the attacker just wants what you have.

Because you see, g-d didn't give most of us mind reading gifts to know if the aggressor wants to hurt us just a little or really bad or if we are going to get Vaneckoed.

From a troll: Remain as calm as possible and comply with their demands. I will always remember the case of Linda Goldstein from the NW Womans Hospital.(you can google it-may she rip) That piece of shit even kept her locked in the trunk during court at Maybrook. If NW HR thinks this is good advice, you have just been shown how the PC liberal mind has latent defects with thinking and reasoning. It should read carry OS spray handy, do not walk around talking to your fellow trixies on the phone and carry some other items you can use as a weapon. Spray,stab or both the biggest of the group the second a hand is laid on you and move on to the next one until all are either bleeding or fleeing. Then CALMLY walk away from the scene to the applause of your fellow citizens.

If this were not Crook County, Shitcago and the citizens of Illinois were not denied their constitutional rights the notification / tips would have read:
When confronted by an attacker(s) turn your support side toward the attacker and your strong side away, unholster your weapon and continuously put rounds into vital organs of the attacker until the threat is eliminated or you have expended all available ammo. If there are multiple attackers perform a mag exchange, lather, rinse, and repeat.

I actually thought about this for NATO and it's still relevant. Among other things the dangerous weapons ordinance forbids blackjacks, sandclubs(?), sandbags(?), bludgeons, and billys. So would it be unlawful for a citizen to stick a collapsible baton in their briefcase or backpack? ("Three to the body, one to the head. Keep resisting and you'll wish you were dead!")

I hope this woman gets the implied message from your good advice, Officer, but I'm not sure she will "get it" if she's new to blog. To the 6/15/2012 10:09:00 AM poster:
I don't mean to burst your bubble re pepper spray. For some scenarios, it could be effective but not a mob beating. You'll barely have time to react.

I'm a female who years back put my finger over the button of my pepper spray when I noticed a man crossing street diagonally headed straight for me. You can just tell when something's not right. BUT there was zero time for me to even raise my spray to defend myself from him sexually assaulting me. He was expert enough to get close enough to me without acting aggressive until the last second. You can't just pepper spray everybody that gets close to you. You rely on your reflexes and judgement but honestly, an attack occurs within a split second. There needs to be better police protection afforded by our mayor. Our streets need to be safer with thousands more police and less women freaking about whether they are going to ward off an attack by a large gang of thugs with lowly pepper spray. This will not protect you from a wilding. Only the mayor can do that if he so chooses. Right now, I see nothing to indicate that he does choose to protect any of us. If he doesn't then don't vote for him come next election. And consider arming yourself with more than pepper spray right now. It might just save your life.

"The grandmother of a man charged in connection with a weekend mob attack says her grandson is innocent.

Mitchell Cordarrowe appeared in court Friday charged with felony mob action and aggravated battery.

"He just got caught up in the middle of something," Deidra Mitchell said. "My grandson is not one to go out and start anything like that."

Mob attacks in Chicago have also included attacks on physicians at Northwestern Lurie Children's Hospitals.

Mitchell is being held on a $75,000 bond."

Ok, bought the bear spray today. It was kind of funny; they asked me where I was going. I said northern Michigan. Avenue.

It fires at a distance of 30 feet and saturates the area with OC spray, relatively wide field of dispersal, not a stream. I think it will work better than some dumb little thing you put on your keychain that might disable one person. The can says all kinds of stuff about don't use it on humans but it also says the effects are temporary, as in 30-45 minutes. There are also first aid instructions. You rinse and wash, etc.

Better than a gun. Gun is no good unless I'm prepared to use it. Use it and my name's in the paper, and then what happens next time, I kill again? Plus they'd probably treat me like I'm some George Zimmerman.

No, the bear spray, which set me back about $50, will at least give me a fighting chance and the feeling that I don't have to walk around afraid. And if I'm attacked, I will use it. I wonder what that will be like in a moving CTA car. Oh, well, not my problem -- I'll be exiting to the next car. Hopefully not too many innocent bystanders will get hit, but you know, casualties of war.

So far none of you has said you'd arrest me.

@ 6/15 6:52am: It was Linda Goldstone & it makes me sick too.

I used to love this city. My family still has utmost respect for the cops & firemen and all that you do. What I hate is that I have fear now. Fear of taking my kids downtown, fear of being out alone at night -- never used to have that! Was appropriately aware of my surroundings & prepared to fight if needs be, but never was afraid like I am now.

My dad, rest in peace, worked in law enforcement his whole life. Taught all us kids to respect the police, use sir & ma'am, not be a wiseass, and taught us all, his youngest daughter - me - how to throw a good punch. When I moved downtown, he bought me a huge can of pepper spray or something else, I can't remember, and always reminded me to test it every few weeks. He would hate what this city has come to.

I'm a married mom to 4. My husband busts his ass 60 hours a week to keep us afloat in this shitty economy. And I worry about him every single day, because while he's not a cop, he's in & out of the shittiest neighborhoods too, dealing with these assholes and their nonsense.

And I worry about the cops & firemen too. Please know that a huge number of us support you, and are disgusted with the way this once-great city is being run in to the ground.

6/15/2012 07:04:00 AM

Past time, folks. Past time.

For those who can't bring themselves to "break the law" to defend themselves, I recommend a good, stout walking stick. You call it a cane, don't tell anyone you're carrying it as a weapon, and no one in authority can even ask you why you have it due to HIPAA. When out and about, I carry a nice blackthorne walking stick (in addition to my legally carried CCW revolverS) to handle any threat that doesn't require the use of deadly force. Remember, pepper spray may not work on some people due to cultural influences (Mexican and Jamaican food is HOT!) or those people who are chemically enhanced. A sturdy walking stick has less area than a bat, so the blows are more concentrated; it is faster to use, so the risk of overswinging is less; and you can use the tip to jab effectively. Take a class on cane/stick fighting, and your ordinary thug may get a nasty surprise when he thinks you're just another "vic."

Remember - "cane," HIPAA, training, practice.
