Look What Made the News
A Far South Side man appeared in court Saturday on charges of possessing 10 grams of crack cocaine and $12 worth of marijuana after he rolled through a stop sign in the Roseland neighborhood.
Theotis Holcomb, 22, was pulled over on Friday afternoon after he failed to stop at a stop sign in the 100 block of W. 109th St., according to a police report.
Holcomb didn't have a driver's license, and when police searched his pockets they found the marijuana and the crack cocaine, worth about $1,250 on the street, according to the report.
Tio is in full damage control mode (not that the media will follow up on it):
Tio Hardiman, the executive director of CeaseFire, said Holcomb has never had any connection to the organization, which recently received a $1 million grant from the city for violence prevention.
Bob Jackson, the director of a CeaseFire-affiliated organization in Roseland, said Holcomb was enrolled two or three years ago in a summer jobs program for at-risk youth in Roseland. But Jackson said Holcomb never did any work for Roseland CeaseFire.
Of course he didn't. He just goes around dropping the CeaseFire affiliation for shits and giggles.

How about this news item, from farther down the blog --
"Maurice Williams, aka Doughboy, head of the Guttaville GD s in Rogers Park was hit with a search warrant last week, with two handguns being recovered. Doughboy was charged with UUW by a Felon. He is a member of Ceasefire Rogers Park who openly preaches stop the violence on his Facebook page."

Yo! Slutkin! Whaddup?
Hey where the fuck was ceasefire at during the teen chaos in 022/10-1 calls shots fired specifically politically connected "Mr. G's" lounge. All these kids roughly about 600+ running around the streets with no parentel guidance. It was a scene from the movie PROJECT X!
Not to be outdone the 010th dist tact team gabbed a ceasefire interrupter gal with about 280 blows (that's heroin for you media trolls). Let's see how fast ceasefire spins this one
You will never hear any of this in the controlled Media. If its a grant will we be ale to FIOA there books?
"Hey where the fuck was ceasefire at during the teen chaos in 022/10-1 calls shots fired specifically politically connected "Mr. G's" lounge."
I heard that on a police scanner and it sounded like all hell was breaking loose. Then at the same time that was going on, another call came over from the dispacther saying "man urinating in alley at..." and the cop replied in an enthusiastic, and sarcastic, voice "well, we'll put a stop to that!"
More like a scene from the movie "Zulu"
Typical Chicago. Its all about the money
Tio is complaining in the Scum-Times that "police should check ...before going to the media" about Ceasefire members arrested.
First of all Tio, nobody "goes to the media" with this info. The media trolls a "police blog" and gets information for their stories. As far as "doing their homework" before they print a story? Be glad they don't. Could you imagine wht kind of stuff they could come with against CeaseFire. Instead be glad they just re-print the canned news released that come from the 5th floor.
If you are referring to police double checking the validity of an arrestees ceasefire affiliation...give us a number to call. Or better yet just provide us with a list of "interrupter" names ahead of time because we all know if we don't have the list the standard answer will be "no he/she doesn't work for Sleaz-fire"
As far as all these CeaseFire shirts popping up -- here's something for people to remember that has not been brought up yet but that I see all the time.

Careful. You don't want to set off a paranoid-schizophrenic rage.
A T-shirt means nothing. You can find any kind of T-shirt you want at the Salvation Army. "SECURITY," "STAFF," etc. The bustouts love those.
I knew one young woman who wore nothing but these "marathon" T-shirts from all over the country. As city-unhealthy as they get -- she didn't run. She just collected these shirts.
Illegal aliens with no English wear any clothing the church group gives them. They have no idea what the printing on there means. I've stopped and checked, just for fun. "Oh, are you in the Kenilworth Rolls-Royce Owner's Club too?"
"No se."
Watch out for the "proprietary" thing; they will stand on other people's property like they belong there, take up a seat next to a building doorway like they have something to do with the activity inside, etc.
White people are too easily fooled by superficial actions that project "authority" of some kind. There is nothing there. It's all attitude -- and a T-shirt, ball cap, etc.
The revs know this childishness; that's why they make sure to keep giving out new caps and T-shirts at their "rallies." As good as a Happy Meal.

cease fire spendin that $$ from grants , criminals on cpd payroll
won't snitch
bet they tell gangs what cpd strategy is . bwahaha
respond to calls and write a report
A Retiree Said: Theotis looks very familiar to me. However Theotis had a different last name which I currently cannot recall. Anyone else?
of course they deny it
they are scared of thier funding being gone
you will see the same game with Tiny dancer and Mcstreetlights
when the ax falls on him
somebody has to fall on thier sword
and take the fall for Tiny dancers f**ck-ups
again i ask why does chicago always hire from "out- of -house"
instead of "rank&file?
like the bears we keep doing the same stupid stuff
i can't believe there is nobody qaulified" with all this experience
Tiny dancer knows he screwed up
with the million
watch more to come
What the fuck was Rahm thinking when he made the deal with the devil.

The proper response, secure a perimeter. Scour the areas Guard and Reserve armories for an old M115 and a w-79 (got to be one or two laying around somewhere). And take care of business. Once the political (and other, LOL) fallout settles any one doubt that these thugs will really be missed.
politicians getting ''gamed''.
Roseland Ceasefire worker, Derrick Lash, was still on house arrest for the murder of a child when Bob Jackson hired him. He was a known gang member and heroin dealer in his neighborhood, even after his release from prison. He also had an order if protection against him for threatening to shoot a woman. This incident happened while he was already employed by Ceasefire.
