Aggravated Battery?

Shooting up north:
  • A 16-year-old boy was seriously wounded early this morning in a shooting on the North Side in the city's Uptown neighborhood.

    About 1:41 a.m., the youth told police he was walking from his residence on the 4600 block of North Winthrop Avenue when he heard shots and soon after felt pain in his leg, said Police News Affairs [...].

    The boy asked for help from an unknown bystander who drove the youth to Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center where his condition was stabilized, [police] said.

    The boy suffered wounds to his leg and groin area, police said.

Poor guy. Shot in the leg and groin. Ouch.

Uptown Update gets to the bottom of it pretty quickly though:

  • So it all sounded really peculiar. That's why it wasn't a surprise when we got an email from someone who's in the know (who requested anonymity):
    The inside scoop on this morning's "shooting"... The bullet had a downward trajectory and the "victim" had powder burns on his clothes. He was tucking a gun in his waistband and accidentally shot himself.
    We're guessing he was inside an apartment or house and that's why no one heard the noise of his gun going off.

    So it's scary that a 16-year-old kid, who has a 10pm city curfew, was tucking a loaded gun into his pants as part of his going-out-on-the-town ensemble at 1:41am.
Pardon our laughter. Anyone know if the "main stream media" has amended their report yet? And CompStat? We're betting that they couldn't wait to unload this one from the totals.

Lame stream media! They have no reporters left! They probably look to the past and hero worship the real investigative reporters. How did they do it?

It's called work, you half assed shits. You have to go out and talk to people and check up on your information. My God, that sounds terrible. It's like, well, work!

Eat crow, you pussies.

Robbery Suspects Toss Money Out SUV Window During LA Pursuit

"Kind of like a Robin Hood situation, rob from the rich, give to the poor," said one witness


Hundreds of bystanders swarmed the scene of a high-speed pursuit in South Los Angeles Wednesday as police tried to apprehend alleged robbers who were tossing money out of their getaway vehicle.

"This isn't something we see every day," Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department spokesman Capt. Mike Parker said. "This definitely had some unique aspects to it."

More than a dozen times during the pursuit, handfuls of cash were thrown out of the backseat window of a black Volvo SUV that authorities had pursued from the scene of an alleged armed bank robbery in the Canyon Country area.

During the pursuit, onlookers were waving to the suspected bank robbers, apparently signaling for them to throw more money. At times, the vehicle had to navigate through dozens of people in the streets west and soutwest of downtown LA.

Parker said there are either four or five suspects. They were armed with at least one handgun, he said.

Two were taken into custody at the end of the pursuit.

A crowd of people gathered around the SUV after it was forced to stop because of traffic.

Officers exited their squad cars to confront the alleged robbers and were able to take them into custody among the sea of onlookers.

A witness at the scene said she was bowled over by the alleged robbers' actions.

"I'm just so glad this person came to throw this money in the 'hood, basically. You usually see robbers and they take their stuff and they leave. But this guy came over and tried to help us out. You know, it's a big depression nowadays," said the woman, who identified herself as a 23-year-old resident of the area.

"So It's more like all of us are supporting the robbers and the cops. He's doing something I never though a robber would ever do. "


"Kind of like a Robin Hood situation, rob from the rich, give to the poor. Everybody's out to kind of get some of the money," another resident told NBC4.

OT - leave it to Rahm and his cronies to continue doing dirty business as usual.

$7.4 million contract awarded to McHugh const. Who is still under investigation for giving $200 million in tax payer dollars to a company that was supposed to be "woman owned". A fake company set up to meet the legal requirements for minority and woman owned sub contractors.

But it's all legit, they were the lowest bidder, no worries. It's for the good of the taxpayers not the friends and families of the mayor or alderman. That would be ludacris.

There are still reporters out there, but they are underpaid, spread too thin, and their bosses won't let them do their jobs. Sound familiar?

It's really interesting to read the twitter feed of say, Pete Nickeas from the Trib, and realize how little his overlords allow into the actual paper. A story told many times, in every media outlet in this city. Mustn't make our tourist showcase look scary.

Yeah, that's it. They were Robbin' Hoods. They threw out the money to help...not to create havoc and assist in their getaway.

Right on about the comment about getting time denied- in 020 they gave time due to anyone who wanted to attend the police golf outing and for the benefit bowling party for officers that got axed. Other than that, they will not allow anymore than 3 to 4 officers to take time on any other day, especially weekends and they will not allow you to extend your furlough. They make up their own rules and our lackluster union reps do nothing about it. Best part is that the xo has the lt and sgts go into roll call demanding more contact cards from the officers while all this bs is going on!
