The New Normal
- Two 16-year-old boys and eight others were wounded by gunfire across Chicago Friday night and Saturday morning, according to police.
Even McNewStrategy hasn't announced a revamped plan in 5 days, trusting the medical staff at various hospitals to keep us under 500 murders for the year.
Meanwhile, in the safe part of town:
A 53-year-old man from Memphis was stabbed downtown outside the Lollapalooza music festival while trying to scalp tickets last night, according to police and the fire department.
The man remains hospitalized in good condition late Saturday morning, according to Northwestern Memorial Hospital spokeswoman Lindsey Fox.
The victim told police he was standing on the northwest corner of Jackson Boulevard and Michigan Avenue selling tickets at 6:57 p.m. when he was confronted by a group of four younger men who tried to snatch the tickets out of his hand, police said.
The victim held onto the tickets and ran away, crossing the street as the four pursued him and surrounded him at the corner of Adams Street and Michigan while continuing to try and rob him, police said.
He was trying to push them back when one of the four – a black man between the ages of 19 and 25 and wearing a red baseball cap, a black shirt, and black shorts -- came from this left side, reached across, and stabbed the 53-year-old man, police said.
Holy crap! The Tribune actually published a full description of the attacker? Call the newspapers....oh wait. Nevermind.
And when is the campaign against knives going to kick into high gear?
A man was stabbed to death on LaSalle Street in the River North neighborhood just before 4 a.m. Saturday, according to police.
The man, identified by police as Eric Lopez, was attacked by a group of people after exchanging words with them at a nearby BP gas station at the corner of Ontario Street and LaSalle Boulevard, according to a security guard at the gas station.
He and another man were stabbed at about 3:45 a.m. in the 600 block of North LaSalle Boulevard, said Chicago Police Department News Affairs...

Holy CeaseFire Rahm man, betcha da mayor is campaigning against chicken restaurants somewhere in the city.

Rahmboooo and ommmaa remember the lies come Novemeber Election
Vote Vote Vote - send a message
Where is the accountability? Rahm hands over a million dollars of tax payer money and I for one am curious how many "employees" this organization has? Who is getting paid what? Blatantly corrupt for Rahm to do this and where are the feds?
The important thing is cease fire prevented 2000 shootings yesterday through their interventions and no one snitched
It seems that the stretch of Ontario near the feeder ramp has been a trouble spot for some time early in the am. The fast food joints and nightclubs attract the idiots.
Ontario and LaSalle??? Nowhere is safe in this sewer.
Maybe they can design a friend or foe bullet? That way only the right guy gets shot.
actually, where is rahm? i don't see or hear from him all that often anymore. i guess he's still waiting for that next disaster to use up, ha. rahmie you are going to need another lifeline fast because chitcago is not looking so pretty to the outsiders. once you lose them it's over. we already know how things are over here, so you know you need to use all those resources you claim we can't afford(only to save your own ass) to fool the outsiders. good luck

Why is the media giving Rahm a pass on his latest scandal?
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/politics/clout/chi-emanuel-changes-tack-on-solyndra-questions-20120803,0,7554562.story
Here is an idea for McColnelPotter - MASH units in the districts to perform combat triage and save the lives.
why was it necessary to have this festival in the first place? DOESN'T ANYBODY WORK ANYMORE? I know it's the weekend but still. Did you get a look at these people? What rock did they crawl out from?
Rahm in bunker mode, he's going to be the lamb in the Solyndra debacle. I hope he likes Oxford WI
Uuuummmmmm, it was road rage?
OT --
CITY VIOLATES UNSPOKEN SOCIAL CONTRACT BY EVACUATING LOLLAPALOOZA IN FACE OF DANGEROUS STORM
Stop everything!
Bitter complaint heard on news report. Unpleasant flat, nasal tone.
"I came here and ten minutes later we were told to leave."
The Queen Arrived -- and then this? Unthinkable!
"I planned, I got ready..."
My God! The planet's weather didn't conform to what you, yourself, I mean personally had laid out in your Electronic Day Organizer?
Contact your attorneys immediately.
...and be sure to call the police over "someone threw half-eaten food on my property."

National Geographic should come out and do a wildlife show right here in Chicago. Packs of predatory animals surround and stab their prey in an attempt to steal before returning to their natural habitat and getting high before mating to breed more predators.
Fascinating stuff. Rahm can get his Hollywood brother to market safari rides from armed buses so that people can safely watch the natural selection taking place live. Then they can tour Boys Town and watch the North Shore values, now known as Chicago values, before heading to Little Village for some Sanctuary City south of the border cuisine.
Is it factual that thr ballerino's brother "ariel" has controlling interest in lollo or maybe reps the bands who perform there? The ballerino looked soooo excited to be attending and named two bands he couldnt help being excited to hear. Looks like pimping for his brother.
Anyone have any info on the 10-1 yesterday in 022 at 115th and western? And how about the robbery at milanos pizza 109th western. All unreported crime?
You Didn't Miss Anything Department --
Great photo gallery here. Idiots throwing themselves into the mud and filth churned up by other people's dirty feet (million dollars worth of damage to Grant Park again), a hat-backwards, tattooed thug with his face masked, people throwing hand signs, some kids who look a lot more normal than their parents, a screaming man being held down by "security" -- all this and 97 degrees. Who could ask for more?
Gah.

Like SCC says, it's The New Normal.
Chicago: Come for the music. Stay for the violence.
Never let yourself be unarmed off duty, even if you buy yourself a small .380 for your pocket.
I want to see how Garry spins this.
Notice how Rahm is staying quiet after being confronted with his part of the Solyndra BS?
cease fire will return when the million dollars run out bwahahaha
ballerina is dumb as a box of bagles

it's just one big drug-infused love-fest for our beady-eyed, wanking poser of a mayor and his bro! All in the family, could you please pass the grey poupon and while you're at it, the joint, bro?

Quite true!!! His brother, being the California talent agent, reps some of the musical acts and has a partnership interest in the fest. Really is the greedy little twerp.
It's not a rumble unless they BOTH have switchblades.
After 5 days in Aug we have 11 murders, 2 more barely holding on. We might get passed last Aug 35 by the 18-19th. Mcjersey shore is going to have some splannnning to do. Maybe his tactics aren't really as good as he thinks.
"What a fool believes he sees, no wise man has the power... To reason away..."
Yeah.
The New Normal...
003 is out of control tonight.
Interesting.. Downtown insider says IG is dabating whether or not to investigate how Mike Masters went from being a civilian under the Daley admiistration, to being a sworn officer in the city of Chicago, without offically ever attending the police Academy... And that possible names in the investigation include Howie, Pigott, Pokie Williams and Bartoli ...
No cops in saganaush. Better protect your own in 017 dist
No cops patrolling in 017 North End Peterson Cicero at Midnight
Mamas were probably trying to find a pic of pool for the media where he wasn't representing, thus making pool undeserving of his new found assholes all over his body
Gun control works... viola
How many employees does Cease Fire have and who are they? What happened to transparency...its tax payers money?!! Oy vey...rahm has some splainin' ti do !
"What seems, to be. Is always better than nothing... Than nothing at all..."
Yeah...
