What Day is It?
Isn't today CompStat Thursday? How are those homicide numbers going to play? Because guess what? Two more dead overnight:
-
Two men were shot dead Wednesday in separate attacks on the South and West sides of the city, authorities said.
In the latest slaying, a gunman riding a bicycle shot a 21-year-old in the head on a rear porch behind the victim's home in the 700 block of East 50th Street in the Bronzeville neighborhood just before 9 p.m., according to early police reports.
The man, Freddie Williams, was dead at the scene, according to the Cook County medical examiner's office.
Police hadn't determined the motive for the slaying.
Earlier in the day, gunman shot a 49-year-old South Side man at least twice at about 5:30 p.m. on the 2800 block of West Wilcox Street in the East Garfield Park on the West Side, police said.
-
Gunshots fired from a gangway hit four people, one of them a 15-year-old boy, in an early-morning shooting in the Englewood neighborhood on the city's South Side, police said.
The victims, all males, were sitting on the front porch of a home in the 400 block of West 65th Place at about 12:50 a.m. when at least one gunman emerged from a gangway beside the home and opened fire, police said.

Gunman on a bicycle?!
Whyyyyy mayor do we not have better control over the sales of these damn bikes! Ya got 15 year olds riding around on them all hours of the night...no lights...no bells...no insurance..no helmet...
Hey and if a person is shot down on the south side and the mayor isn't there to see it did it really happen?
Meanwhile Ms Obama visits the poor shooting victims today at that temple in Wisconsin while stiffing her own brothers and sisters in her own neighborhood that are being massacred EVERY SINGLE DAY!
Ain't that something?
They should have a Rahm "dead, dead, dead" presentation as they read the victims names while stabbing a steak knife into the table so we can all laugh and laugh..
Ya know it can be just like that campaign victory party a while back.
Then the mayor can send out fish heads to the mourners like a mafia boss wanna-be that you see in the movies.
Really who gives a flying fuck? I just read how the cta wants to eliminate the 90n bus line (touhy/Harlem/blue line). That's the ticket make the high tax paying workers suffer and give the savings to the mutts. I love how this fucking city/county/state hates white people but love their taxes. I can't wait to walk/ bike from touhy to Higgins for court and side jobs!!!
Ms Obama visits Wisconsin Shooting where 7 People Killed At Sikh Temple,
Meanwhile 15 Homicides this week plus the two last night and looks the other way.

Austin, Chicago Lawn and West Englewood each saw two homicides in the last week, a RedEye analysis of preliminary police data found.
In Chicago Lawn, a 22-year-old man and a 15-year-old boy were shot to death Tuesday in the 5900 block of South Francisco Avenue, police said.
In Austin, an 18-year-old man was fatally shot Saturday in the 100 block of North Pine Avenue, police said. One day earlier, an 18-year-old man was shot to death in the 500 block of South Kilpatrick Avenue, according to officials.
In West Englewood, a 3-week-old girl was found abused at the 6000 block of South Bishop Avenue on Aug. 15, officials said. She later died. Also Aug. 15, a 21-year-old man was fatally shot in the 6200 block of South Laflin Street, police said.
Citywide, gunshot homicides were recorded in the last week in Chatham, Englewood, McKinley Park, New City, South Lawndale, South Shore, West Pullman and West Ridge, RedEye data shows.
Meanwhile, a man was stabbed to death Saturday in the 200 block of South Rockwell Street on the Near West Side, police said.
Saturday alone saw six homicides, tying it with Feb. 19 as the deadliest day of the year, RedEye determined.
Forty homicides have been recorded so far this month, RedEye data shows. Thirty-seven homicides were logged in August 2011.
---------------------------------
Homicides for the month are therefore up 10% already with a full week to go.
I see two common themes that keep popping up in these reports. First, gangbangers ride bicycles up to the victim then open fire. Why hasn't Rahm outlawed bicycles? Second, the gangbangers pop out of gangways to fire. Why doesn't he demand the gangways be blocked off between the buildings? Both plans would make as much sense as everything else being tried so far.
Citizen here:
I do not understand why the powers that be do not lump all the "gun" crimes into one statistic. We don't care who was killed or just shot. To us, it's all violent crimes. Flying bullets shot by asswipe gang losers are to be avoided.
Thursdays are McEGOSTATS days. Not going well lately! Rahm has to cut bait and admit he used poor judgement in hiring this goof. Morale is in toilet!
We heard they were discussing the "Back to School" sales at 1:00 AM when the shots rang out
-----------------------------------
They probably were discussing sales but I highly doubt they were back to school.
McDufass will say because a cop was "given" the night off by his X.O.!
McDufass will be outraged!
McDufass is in a meltdown!
MCDufass will rant!

ROFLMAO Period !
crying broke but they $91 million for a citywide bicycle lane that about 1% of the citys population will use. Rahm & Daley wanting another football team and stadium. $$$ huge bucks. Megs field transformation $$$ but they have no money to hire the close to 1,800 police officers we're short on the streets. they could give a rats ass about police officer safety and that of public safety.
rahmbonious and mcgstring must be getting ready to take their cyanide pills--- the foundation is shaking and the empire is about to crumble--- chicago is being compared to dodge city and the teachers are ready to walk out and strike--- three 90 degree days in a row starting today should get things jumping....
Man and a woman shot at Cermak and California 10:52AM.
Woman ran into Church's Chicken to escape the shooter who used deadly force against her, shooting her in the arm. Man rode his bike to Mount Sinai ER after getting shot at same location. Broad daylight. Who needs the cover of night?
It could have been a study group, to get a jump on the others. Honor Students in the making?

There's more on the NW side. Had to dig.
Routes proposed for discontinuation
#64 Foster-Canfield (Alternative #90 and Pace #209)
#69 Cumberland/East River (reroute #81W)
Routes proposed for discontinuation that are served by Pace
#56A North Milwaukee (Alternative Pace #270)
#90N North Harlem (Alternative Pace #423)
They already wiped the Elston, and I'm surprised they didn't go after #68 NW Hwy again.
The Red Line will be able to haul flashmobs downtown more efficiently now, without all those elderly people going to the doctor, shopping, etc. That's the main thing.
"In the latest slaying, a gunman riding a bicycle shot a 21-year-old in the head on a rear porch behind the victim's home in the 700 block of East 50th Street in the Bronzeville neighborhood just before 9 p.m., according to early police reports."
Offenders like this will really appreciate the hundreds of miles of new bike lanes Tiny Dancer 9-Point-5 plans on bringing to Chicago.
They'll offer a greater variety of post-bicycle murder escape routes.
Well let's talk about that ConStat meeting shall we?
The only thing I bothered to hear out of all the redundant bullshit what the following bullshit outta McStupid's piehole in furtherance of his comment that "watch people aren't doing enough":
"You got people in bid spots? Document, document, punish, punish... we're not gonna be held hostage by 'that'!"
Which meant, "we're not gonna let a contract stop us from fucking over coppers who don't risk their families welfare by going out and fucking with people just to show em who's 'Boss'.
This comment cemented in fact of intent in that his repeated mantra of the day was "hands on the wall".... being NJ fuckheadspeak for "violate anyone's rights you can to attempt to threaten the gangs into leaving.
And this ALSO was documented as fact of intent when his newest wannbe hack makes the civil rights mistake of saying "I'm telling the watch to stop every gangbanger they see" to which he quickly realized he fucked up and stated "not that we're telling them to profile" and along chimes McShithead who then repeats the same phrase "we're not telling anyone to profile because we wouldn't do that", and saying it as though it's a joke that he has no intention of following yet he thinks it'll get him out of the next lawsuit the first idiot out there pulls because he violated someone's rights following the fucking idiot's "hands on the wall" bullshit.
This fuckhead is exactly the same kinda fuckhead we've been dealing with for years..... "go fuck over anyone you think is a shithead to make me look good, and when the suit comes down I'll deny I ever told you to go fuck with everyone.
This shitstick has gotta go, and anyone dipshit that listens to this fucktard and does what he's telling them to do deserves to be sued off this job.
This cocksucker steals from the districts, refuses to hire and puts down beat cars on every watch, yet the cocksucker has the balls to state "we're not getting enough outta the beat cars".
FUCK YOU SHITHEAD, you'll get even less with your fucking mouth now tuff guy!
They got excuses for all this crime like airplanes lined up in the air at Ohare,like apple IPads all 20 iPads are already made each one with the next technology we want,coming out every year,we will listen to one excuse after the next and this guy will continue getting paid for absolutely nothing,hey even when we had enough police this was happening but at least we had each others back,and the fear of our presence was known,crime will get stronger as long as we get weaker in our strength which is how many officers that are on the street battling this never ending problem.....crime! What's a crime is these big wig bosses from mcgoofy to rhamon noodle is that they don't realize the importance of the number of troops that are needed to combat the problems in this city,if budgets are in place you certainly don't want to scrimp on safety!
crying broke but they $91 million for a citywide bicycle lane that about 1% of the citys population will use.
8/23/2012 10:35:00 AM
I think that Rahm will be touting this shooting to show how well his bike lane program is workinga. In the past, the shooter would have had to use a car to do the drive-by. Now the bangers are going "green" and demonstrating real "Chicago values" when they shoot people.

Fred the janitor at 35th & Mich HQ counted 42 dead flys on Gmac's window sill. Either that's an omen for thing to come for August totals or there's much ado about nuttin other than bullshit @ CompStat.
About an hour before the 4 idiots got clipped two more honor roll students took some hits. One guy took one in the melon and was walking around like nothing happened. Took out his cell, made a call and said he got shot in the head and is gonna die. He didn't. Go figure. Oh well. I'll take my personal now squad. Nothing to see, cause I've just about seen it all.
Do they still have CAPS? If so, that is at least 100 officers back to patrol. That unit was loaded with paper shufflers a few years ago.

Can someone tell me why Tact and Narcotics are doing buy-bust together? With Tact processing the arrest? Narcotics is pretty proficient at what they do, I don't think tact needs to be processing the arrest. I can see them being a take down car, but nothing else.
I just watched an episode of "Chicago Tonight" that featured an interview with the Tio Hardiman of Ceasefire. Same b.s., same double talk from Tio regarding crime on the streets of Chicago. What I found interesting was the film footage they had of some Chicago Police officers on patrol, etc. One of the officers, a female officer was shown in the front passenger side of a marked squad car attempting to use the lap top computer mounted in the car. I said attempting because she had long multi-colored fingernails. They were long enough that they were actually started to curl downward. Not a cop here, just your run of the mill citizen here with a question. Are there standards for fingernails in the CPD? Clearing this officer was having difficulty typing on a standard lap top keyboard.

I requested this so that we can get the increase now, then eventually have a HUGE decrease once the Red Line is shut down for months. Imagine how great I'll look then.

who cares public trasportation just brings in more riff raff
OT
Remember the creep from Diff'rent Strokes who tried to molest Dudley?
Just for GP, the main thing to remember is that there are a lot of guns out there. Generally speaking they have only been turned on us in very few instance considering, but that doesn't mean to let our guard down. Whatever your prevailing attitude is towards the job, McGoofball and the nitwits getting killed, always be safe out there. My new favorite quote is from Marine Corps General Mattis,"Be polite, be proffessional, but have a plan to kill everyone you meet." Sounder advice has never been given.

No.
Independently wealthy Mayor "is not in public view," leaves town for days at a time to go to resorts, out of country, elaborate cocktail parties, etc.
Police superintendent is similarly "not in public view" except when shooting out street lights, etc. It is my general understanding that anyone else would have been locked up for domestic battery by now.

79th ESSEX 8 people shot hey its ok cause these poor people dont know better so lets throw more free shit at them so they can stop the violence!
Just heard on news that 8 people were shot on SSide. But that counts as one shooting, so don't add it to the numbers. Or just add 1.

Oh, you mean regulations about fingernails NOT extending beyond your fingers when the hands are viewed 'palms up'? Yeah, we have that.
And the rule about hair not being allowed to be a color that does not occur 'in nature'? Yup. Got that, too.
Hair below the collar? No BEADS in the hair? No nail polish? Three pieces of jewelry? Those kinds of rules? Got that.
But no one with the guts to ENFORCE them.

Long fingernails are against uniform guidelines, but no one ever says anything because a race card gets thrown into the mix. If you think she had a hard time typing, imagine her trying to fire a handgun to save your life.
