Parents of the Year

Englewood with their nominees:
  • Four teens - two 13-year-olds and two 16-year-olds - were shot within a half hour in the city's Englewood and Gresham neighborhoods on the South Side, according to police.

    Three boys, aged 13, 16 and 16, were walking in the 7100 block of South Loomis Boulevard in the Englewood neighborhood about 11:25 p.m. when two others approached them on foot and started shooting.

  • About a half hour before that a 13-year-old was sitting on a front porch in the 8600 block of South Morgan Street in the Gresham neighborhood when two males approached him on foot and shot him in the right forearm...
Won't somebody think of the children??!!?? Rahm?

So I was watching a recorded episode of wgn morning news of will Farrell and Zach galafinakis. So any way Tracey Meares a Yale university professor talked how this legitimacy bullshit came about and how she is touting it as a great crime fighting strategy. She wanted to sound like she found the holy grail of policing. But just another hack for the east coast.

Time for a new curfew/ordinance that can't possibly be enforced with penalties that are inconsequential. Yeah, fine the 10-time ghetto mamas and take it out of their welfare checks. Or don't follow up.

But if you live in 016, if you have a $1 overdue library fine the city will hunt you down like a dog.

And why are the westside and southside reverends and parents up in arms and demanding answers as to why people are being randomly gunned-down just for the hell of it. And when they do march no answers are forthcoming then it's back to business as usual. And if the Police shoot and kills or maims a shooter then the peprs family sues the officer and the city and the city pays the family and diciplines or fires the officer. But like I said earlier, nobody seems
to be alarmed. But don't worry mr. mayor and aldermen, although you are not doing anything to benefit us taxpayers, we'll
still re-elect you at voting time because we recognize your name as our alderman, or woman.

What were those kids doing out, unsupervised at 23:30 hrs? Might be time to go get mommy to deal with them since daddy is either dead, incarcerated, or out making babies with his latest conquest.

So why can't we lock up the parents for a night, make them appear in court, humiliate them, fine them and take away their welfare for a month or two as punishment for not having their children in at curfew. If we make an example and interrupt their life and make it hell for them, maybe they would start keeping their children in. Even though these homes SUCK for children as they are loud, drinking, violent on the inside. I want these parents to suffer, the children are victims of their parents, they are co-conspirators in the murders. I knew one of those 16 yr olds, I'm sick of these parents telling me, "I can't stop him", bulloney! Put the blunt, 40 oz, scumbag boyfriends and friends aside and focus on your kids STUPID! a citizen in the hood hurting for the loss of another young life...

Any revruns around? Will they save their outrage until just before the collection basket is passed?

Why the hell were kids that young out running around that late at night? When I was that young, if I stayed out that late, I wouldn't have had to worry about being shot on the street...

My parents would have done that when I got home...

Obama is going to Colorado to console the victims of the theatre massacre; when is he coming here to console the parents of the "Hundred Plus" children under 18 yrs of age shot in Chicago this year? Check the stats, we have over one hundred young people under age 18 shot and sometimes killed this year in Chicago! If a Black teenager were to enlist in the Army and serve in Afghanistan, he or she would have less chance of being shot than staying in Da Hood in Chicago. Is Obama avoiding this "Hometown" issue to avoid making his former Chief of Staff look like the Little Moron that he actually has become?

I know that the of topic of speed and red light cameras has been beat to death, but I just read this traffic studcot hat was just released by the CDC, and found its results quite interesting. While it's not a perfect study, it does conclude that the number of automobile related deaths in Chicago in 2009 was much much lower than the national average. Not only that, but the number of automobile related deaths in Chicago in 2009 was still quite a but lower compared to other major U.S. cities. I wish the aldercreatures would wake up and start doing what is best for their constituents. Why am I complaining, I know nothing is ever going to change in this city.

They'll say the police were at fault because they didn't get these kids off the street before curfew.

You can't blame their families or their upbringing. If you do, you must be a racist Republican.

Hey Moprah, Jesse, Al, and Fr. Phaker, when will the black community take responsibility for the complete and utter collapse of an entire culture? Generation after generation after generation of un-structured families, un-we'd mothers with multiple "babies' daddys", multiple generation welfare recipients, children raised by "grandmama", no morals, no drive to make a better life, and all the while never taking responsibility for their own actions and always quick to blame everyone else.

For 2/3's of this city this isn't an abomination,it's the NORM. We are expected to apply laws designed for a civilized culture to uncivilized products of a flawed social experiment. For over 22 yrs I've tried to give 150% to help anyone in need, until I realized those 2/3's of society don't want my input,laws or compassion. Now the Dept and City are getting 2/3's of the undermanned Dept reacting in the same manner as I do and 1/3 of the Dept just hasn't figured it out yet.

Has anyone at HQ noticed that curfew enforcement has dropped off greatly in the past few years since the genius group dropped the short form in favor of the longer, larger, intrusive profiling question based long form? Sometimes the simple, most obvious solutions are the best solutions. How else can one explain a drop of thousands in the number of teens stopped for curfew? Really now, if ANOVs and parking ticket formats were 3-4 pages long, how many would really be written? Keep It Simple Stupid should be our leader's motto.

Hope Moprah, AKA Mary Mitchell, is not that stupid but she really is. Hey lady chill on the black on black crime. What are u tellin the brothers -black on white crime? Do the cracker? Secondly Colorado shooting was by an absolutely deranged ass who acted alone and deserves his punishment God willing. Thirdly all shootings in Chgo are by Bangers or Banger related-90 percent. I feel for a young girl being killed by bangers who can't shoot straight but kids don't belong out at midnite. Yes I know not all of these children. And a 13 yr old should not be walkin styreets or on his front porch at 1:30 AM. Should be nite-nite worrying about getting up early in the morning to cut grass, pull weeds or whatever to make a dollar to buy a pop!!!!!!!!!!! Quit your racist writings. Just come out and say lets do black on white crime. By the way i am black and live in a nice HOOD. No wonder u8 r disliked blamin other pueeps for this fking mess. C why they call u moprah
