Scared Aldercreatures
For Ald. Carrie Austin (34th), the violence that’s gripped Chicago this year is personal.
Over Memorial Day weekend, a college freshman home for the summer was shot to death just five doors down from Austin’s sturdy A-frame home in Roseland on the city’s South Side. He was a friend of her grandson.
“People say, ‘Well, you know they’re not gonna do all that around the alderman’s house,’ ” she says. “Yeah, you wanna bet?”
She's not the only one:
- Ald. Sandi Jackson (7th), whose South Side ward includes an area known as “Terror Town,” says she always double-checks to make sure no one with a gun is lurking before she backs into her own driveway.
And she moved her entire family to Washington DC.
- In Austin, Ald. Emma Mitts (37th) says she tries not to let fear get the best of her but knows that’s hard for her mother, who lives with her. So she hurries to get home before the streetlights come on at night to keep her mother from worrying.
But this one is the best:
From her front stoop, Ald. Toni Foulkes (15th) points to landmarks from her childhood.On that sidewalk she learned to ride a two-wheeler.
Under the street lamp she and her friends used to stretch a net across the street to play volleyball at 2 in the morning.
Really? Who in their right mind thinks that stringing a volleyball net over the street at two in the f#$%ing morning is normal? The cognitive disconnect is amazing.

Which driveway is Sandi checking...the one here or the one in D. C.?
How the fuck would Ald. Sandy JACKSON knows what goes on in this city, she lives in DC.
Alderman Carrie Austin was featured in the Sun-Times about two weeks ago saying that she wanted Louis Farikan's Fruit of Islam troops patrolling her ward.
Carrie Austin, Sandi Jackson, Toni Foulkes and the rest of the (fill-in-the-blanks) are responsible for McKnucklehead coming in and ruining this department and for letting manpower decline to levels which make us ineffective.
But they will get their "Box Missions" around their houses now so it will be all right.
Here is something from the fly on the wall from HQ. When an Alderman complains to McKnucklehead, as sometimes they do, about the low manpower what happens. McKnucklehead call the District Commander and slams them for letting on that there is a manpower problem.
Black gang crime was a useful tool for the aldercreatures when they could clamor for more "development money". Now it's the two-headed monster that's spun out of control.
You know what scares me? Aldermen
they're always trying to increase my taxes, TIFs, utilities and other sundry penalties/fees
I don't know if I will be able to afford the cost of living in this shithole much longer
It's downright frightening
You just listed 3 Former Alderman. If I was running for office, I would be using these quotes in my campaign pointing out how they have failed to make their communities safer.
OT: Who is the "Education Reform Now Advocacy" and who's bankrolling all the anti-CTU TV commercials running 24/7 on local TV.
How far in the background is Emanuel?

" For Ald. Carrie Austin (34th), the violence that’s gripped Chicago this year is personal. "
I love this comment. "(T)his year is personal"? As an elected official chosen by the community to represent the interests of the neighborhood - shouldn't everything be 'personal'? This is your job as an elected official, Alderman Austin. You, and the alderman with you in this city, have forgotten - or perhaps never known, I'm not sure - that you job is one of service. You were chosen to SERVE those whom you represent, NOT to be served by them. Your position is not one of having servants but of being a servant. With violence skyrocketing in your wards, you should be on the street tirelessly speaking with children and parents yourself. You job is not to throw your hand in the air and exclaim "Somebody save us!"; your constituents do that already. Guess what: YOU are part of the answer to that exclamation, not simply a bullhorn for it. Get out there and do something.
Isn't it ironic! If I recall correctly, several members of our city council often engage in monday-morning quarterbacking our actions before they have the facts. These individuals also plot and plan how they can do away with our hard-fought benefits (shift differential). Now we should feel sorry for them even though they receive a larger salary than we do for a part-time position. Fck them!
Sandi Jackson has a house and a ward here? I thought she was in Washington with the kids(who are enrolled in school where?) with her recovering husband ?
If they're so freaking scared, why don't they pressure Daley--I mean Rahm--to hire more police?!?
What about the insanity of running police cars near Damen and Division last night? It seems like they were about 24 hours late!?! The people were shot on FRIDAY night--not Sat. There are 100's of drunks out there all weekend, all ripe for the picking, and it might be a good idea to have a couple of police in the neighborhood every weekend to protect them but also to keep an eye on really drunk people getting behind the wheel of cars. But that might require some thinking instead of reacting. And it might cut down on the bars making money? Your bosses are jackazzes.
Christ! Good job, media.
Austin & Mitts, that's a story. They are real people. Sandi Jackson NEVER lived in Chicago. She grew up in Maine. Dolton probably terrifies her.
She campaigns with a contingent of body guards because she is afraid to visit the diner full of church folk on a Sunday morning and it's only 4 blocks from her house. If she weren't married to 3J the old man would be waging a campaign against her attitude toward 'the community'. The Huidobro woman probably feels more at ease in Chicago.
The volley ball thing is fucked up too.
F@%k these as%#es of supposed great politicians, they are responsible for how these animals act today. Keep doing a good job at city hall in giving these locusts free everything and taking away more police everything including police powers to deal with the angels. One more thing, keep giving in to the fearless mayor and his puppet. In less than a year with these two crime in all aspects are up but I forgot the media tells otherwise.
maybe the ought to start supporting their police department!LETS START WITH A NICE CONTRACT CONSIDERING ALL THE VIOLENCE WE FACE EVERYDAY!THEN HIRE!HIRE!HIRE!
Several years ago was assigned to escort an anti-violence march w/ ald. Austin. Immediately after we were summoned to her house. Her car had been stolen during the march. #priceless
they are being terrorized by their own "people", why don't they do something about it---
Read that also SCC, wtf the volley ball net was really more ghetto bullshit! What kind of parent lets kids out at 2 in the morning? They are so "scared" but yet will not call for more coppers! judges who actually keep the animals in jail! All we ask scared and cowardly alderghosts is to DO YOUR JOBS!!
Pawns of Daley, Inc. Nothing more. They are there because Daley let them / wanted them there.
Daley still runs it.
I have had the misfortune to have to deal with Alderman Mitts. Her intelligence level is below average. I am being generous.
I cannot believe this woman is responsible for the safety and direction of this City. I understand she was put into place by convicted Adermanic Kingpin (wannabe) Carothers.
With weak Aldermen in place, the big fish like the Burkes, Daleys, Madigans and Cullertons control their votes. These Wards are like Third World Nations with no economies led by despots. Big businesses are kept out, because that would mean the Big Fishes would give up some of their power there.
Keep up the cycle of poverty and violence less we lose our votes, our power. Sickening. The politicians are the reason Chicago is on the fast rack to Detroit. Get rid of these parasites.
The most useless bunch of idiots ever assembled outside of Washington, D.C. Criminal and dumb as fucking stumps.
Doesn't residency requirement apply to alder-creatures? Can we buy a house in someone else's name out of state and live there without the worry of being fired? Or is this the Jackson double standard once again??
Don't aldertheives get to own guns?? Lazy bitches. Do some good for once
the one from roseland cracked me up, if u read between the lines, she admits that her people ruined that neighborhood. i will give props to the one from the west side, she did say the same things i have said. the goof, that claims he was a cop (my guess he was just wearing our uniform) sure spoke the party line instead of putting blame where it belongs.
They should be scared of the FBI, that's the number 1 threat to alderthieves.
Alder women Jackson, Foulkes, Mitts, and Austin all voted for Obama, but called him first to make sure it was safe to come out.
I still can't comprehend how you people here still have this disdain for Detroit as if it's something worse. I've lived in both places. Maybe because Detroit is all black and Chicago coincidentally just isn't? Throw your abundance of knives in the equation here along with the lunatic loose lipped liberals that don't want police at all and I've never felt so unsafe in my life until moving to Chicago. Seriously.
Really, it baffles me.
Toke up. I guess that's all they can do because of the mess they've created and they need some anxiety relief from their underwater mortgages too.
Fuck the aldergoofs.. They can carry a gun.
They get what they deserve.
They will continue to suffer in the souless swamp they helped create.
i'm sure they were real polite when a car had to get through their volleyball game.
OT: but worth a look!
A Cook County prosecutor who was attacked by a pair of teens harassing two men they thought were gay tried to defend himself but "they got the best of him" and left him beaten and stabbed, according to the victim's friend.

You mean you've never strung up a net for an early morning impromptu back and forth SCC?
We've got badminton nets up all over the place in 016. That's how we do.
Sandi Jackson lives in D.C. Austin should worry less about her relatives and friends who have do nothing city jobs and worry more about the thugs on her block, but wait then she might not have any precinct captains left.
"Ald. Sandi Jackson (7th), whose South Side ward includes an area known as “Terror Town,” says she always double-checks to make sure no one with a gun is lurking before she backs into her own driveway."
GOOD.
SWEAT.
Decent people have been living like this for decades.
Your turn.
This ain't s__t. No, Sandy is NOT "just like everyone else."
Lose the new car and fancy house and take a bus home with your little bag of groceries and you'll REALLY see what it's like, desperately trying to get out your key and get inside fast...
...at an advanced age...
"Who in their right mind thinks that stringing a volleyball net over the street at two in the f#$%ing morning is normal?"
People coming up surrounded by a culture of no-work.
Remember the man who got blasted seven times on his porch by someone from out of the neighborhood, yet?
The man yelled at kids to stop shooting at his dump truck with a BB gun and this outsider wasted him for it.
Keeping the community standards down. The man with a visible means of earning a living was singled out, harassed, and murdered over it.
OT:
More Layoffs.
As Mayor Emanual and Gov. Quinn continue on their jobs propaganda campaign trying to convince people that the answer to unemployment is to take out a student loan and attend a Chicago community college -- to take classes for example in Health Care because "we have a shortage of skilled workers in health care, and we will create "X" positions on the next "Y" years" Well, we ponder this....
Northwest Community Healthcare has another round of layoffs
Crain's Chicago Business-Sep 14, 2012
(Crain's) — Northwest Community Healthcare plans to cut 110 positions, resulting in a 3 percent reduction in the Arlington Heights hospital system's workforce.
Add them to all those layoffs of skilled mechanics. machinist, and welders that the corporations tell Rahm that "they can not find" Hah!
YOU'RE A LOSER RAHM and we can't wait to vote you out. Take your $55 million dollar Maggie park and your $140,000 per mile bike paths with you!
Didn't rham promise to reduce the alderman by 60 % . Sheeeet he can't handle teacher union or alderman . Looks like cpd and cfd are screwed next contract , he'll bully us with cuts and station closings.
OH shit! Seriously.
As if these wars in the middle east are working so well why not have another one. We're not fighting for freedom. These wars are making us all indentured servants -- six figure student loans with no jobs to offer and we just borrow more for wars.
Is it just me?
I don't recall seeing or hearing anything about the current flotilla of US and British warships being sent to the Persian Gulf?
Gee, maybe that news might affect Rahm and Obama's SuperPac fund raising so the media was told to put a lid on it eh?
-------------------
US And Britain Sending Warships To Persian Gulf To Prepare For Israel Strike On Iran
Sept. 16, 2012
An armada of US and British naval power is massing in the Persian Gulf in the belief that Israel is considering a pre-emptive strike against Iran’s covert nuclear weapons programme.
Battleships, aircraft carriers, minesweepers and submarines from 25 nations are converging on the strategically important Strait of Hormuz in an unprecedented show of force as Israel and Iran move towards the brink of war.
Western leaders are convinced that Iran will retaliate to any attack by attempting to mine or blockade the shipping lane through which passes around 18 million barrels of oil every day, approximately 35 per cent of the world’s petroleum traded by sea.
A blockade would have a catastrophic effect on the fragile economies of Britain, Europe the United States and Japan, all of which rely heavily on oil and gas supplies from the Gulf.
The Strait of Hormuz is one of the world’s most congested international waterways. It is only 21 miles wide at its narrowest point and is bordered by the Iranian coast to the north and the United Arab Emirates to the south.
In preparation for any pre-emptive or retaliatory action by Iran, warships from more than 25 countries, including the United States, Britain, France, Saudi Arabia and the UAE, will today begin an annual 12-day exercise.
The war games are the largest ever undertaken in the region.
They will practise tactics in how to breach an Iranian blockade of the strait and the force will also undertake counter-mining drills.
The multi-national naval force in the Gulf includes three US Nimitz class carrier groups, each of which has more aircraft than the entire complement of the Iranian air force.
The carriers are supported by at least 12 battleships, including ballistic missile cruisers, frigates, destroyers and assault ships carrying thousand of US Marines and special forces.
The British component consists of four British minesweepers and the Royal Fleet Auxiliary Cardigan Bay, a logistics vessel. HMS Diamond, a brand-new £1billion Type 45 destroyer, one of the most powerful ships in the British fleet, will also be operating in the region.
In addition, commanders will also simulate destroying Iranian combat jets, ships and coastal missile batteries.

"...the people representing the most violent and back-ass-ward wards are frightened of their constituents..."
...but not so frightened that they'll tell them to pull their pants up and quit breaking bottles and yelling all night.
They're just playing me-too, I'm-a-helpless-victim too, piggybacking on everyone else's misery.
...trying to avoid responsibility for agitating and advocating and voting for this s__t for decades in some cases...
Be careful what you ask for. I guess you got it.
It's good that they're scared. Fuck them. They use these pieces of shit to get re-elected time and time again.
You reap what you sow. Go suck a dick.
Fucking alderman. Only in Chicago can you be a gangbanger (Munoz), bank robber (Burnett) and a whore (Tillman) and get elected to public office.
They foster all this bullshit that we have to deal with every day.
Don't like living in your shithole Englewood ward? Then resign. Oh, right why would you do that? Then you would have to go out and actually work for a living.
(Insert fart sound)
garry is famous for the obliteration of the jets and sharks gangs of n.y. he out danced both of them. just another way gangs in ny are different from chicago.
instresting
guy waving his dick at a little girl and her dad on hamlin
assualt on carpenter
i'm not surprised they are scared
you have people off thier meds cant walk down the streeet with out drunks that are high on porches yelling stuff
guy beating kid in hamilton park
and they are scared?
why they can carry a piece where the aveerage joe blow slob can not
besides are these the aldercreatures that back mayor1% on all his gun laws?
and now it's coming back to bite them?
Regarding Sandi Jackson when her husband was conducting his affair with the South American bombshell where did he have said bombshell flown?
1. Sydney Australia
2. London, England
3. Capetown South Africa
4. Chicago
If you answered number four you are correct.
Bonus Question
Why Chicago?
Because Sandy wasn't here.
She would need a tour guide or driver to show her around her ward. The Jacksons are the black version of the Daleys. Put them on a ballot and the masses would run over grandma to get to the polling station.
.next thing you'll know is they'll want a squad car at their side 24 hrs a day. You loving me now, huh bitches
Check U.N.O charter school CEO Rangel for the anti-CTU commercials. Also check his donation to the Emmanuel war chest. Business as usual
OT...
In 020 1st watch, bring in a contact card or write a to-from to justify why you did not bring in a contact card. WTF? Usually 2 to 3 cars down on this watch and Henny Penny gets her panties in a bunch about this stupidity? She couldn't lead a thirsty drunk to a bar out of a wet paper bag.
These poor alderstooges. With all they do for this city and the pressure they have it is time for a 25% raise for them.
I couldn't keep a straight face while typing this.
Hey when is Rham allama ding dong going to save our city MASSIVE amounts of money and bring the the city council in line with those of other big cities.
You know, where being an aldercreature is a FULLTIME position. Lower salaries and NO $1.2 million to each creature to spend on whatever they want. No $60,000+ in expenses, or insurance or and medical perks.
Those dumb As$#*$ think them citizens are here for THEM, no the right way. How about term limits for them.
Give Mary Oconnor the Police hater any time and her tax and spend liberal agenda will turn the 41st ward to shit also.Ask her why she had a sign in her window if you want to apply for LINK apply within.
I'm sorry but when is Rahm going to start blaming Bush for the increase in crime. It just seems to be the Democratic way to do business when ALL is lost !
I think the aldercreatures would be more afraid of the Fed and indictments than their own brothers and sisters in their own ward.
Just skimming thru the weekend headlines.
All I can say is that there has been no CHANGE and all HOPE has been lost.
When Obama gets re-elected then we are really going to see hell break loose.
After four years of Ben Bernanke's quantitative easing that has done nothing but destroy savers wealth and has not created a single job ol' Ben has vowed to QE to infinity.
It hasn't worked the last fours years and it's not going to work looking forward.
Meanwhile, Rahm puts out propaganda that our violence problems in Chicago are isolated. Oh "it's not a citywide problem" it's isolated gang and gang stuff. Nothing to worry about here just KEEP SHOPPING - I'VE GOT A SUPERPAC FUNDRAISER I GOTTA GET TO..
Look at this krap..

Welp it's not like it happening all across the city right RAHM? Heh. You're a disgrace.
Maybe the rest of the Aldermen if they don't feel safe here can move to Washington DC like the Jackson's.
When the mayor needs something done he can send them a text and they can all fly into town on the taxpayers dime to take a vote and pass whatever it is unanimously and then catch the 5pm flight back out of town before it gets dark out.
All you have to do is have an old bag of clothes in the basement here and you're good to go.
who was the alderman that had his father running a phont id business
is it the same one that protects
the unlicensed food vendors
The teachers need a boost now, where is our union????lets support them now, we are all in the same boat!!!!!!

You can bet they will throw the book at the offenders, but if it were one of us what would be the chances the ASA's would be just as harsh on the offenders?
They are all members in good standing of the rahmunist party in Shitcago. They need to talk to the little shit who is their leader. 55 million for a park in memory of what's her name ? no substantial police hiring in the foreseeable future !!
Being a rahmunista really sucks doesn't it !!
Stop being puppets, Do Something ! Start by telling the kittle twerp to get fucked!!!

No appointments for US Representative seats. Had to be a Special election.
US Senators can be appointed until the next general election, but no longer than two years.

Perhaps the Monitor and Merrimac are chugging to the area.
How about the Spanish Armada?
Alderman in the city of Chicago can carry. Why are they afraid?
I don't blame Sandi Jackson one bit for not wanting to live in this cesspool city of ours. If she can raise her kids in a nice area in DC then go for it. Fuck living in this war zone if you don't have to. I would advise Sandi though to keep her KooKoo husband JJJ chained to the kitchen stove so he doesn't get out.
Hey complaining aldermen, those bad guys are the same ones you smoogied to vote for you. So FK off.
Doesn't residency requirement apply to alder-creatures? Can we buy a house in someone else's name out of state and live there without the worry of being fired? Or is this the Jackson double standard once again??
No. You can own property anywhere. Your main residence has to be in Chicago. So, go out and rent a 1 bedroom apartment....put your name on the mail box and collect your mail on the way home to your "vacation" home in the suburbs.
alderman make over $100000 a year with a 70,000 expense account for a part time job . get rid of 25 alderman now . use $$ for teachers

The volleyball story is a good example of behavior considered normal in da hood. That kind on nonsense is why the childruns don't do so well in school. Why penalize the teachers when they can't teach those that are falling asleep in school.
From her 15th Ward Newsletter website:
"Alderman Foulkes is a full-time Alderman who has no outside interest to distract her from her responsibilities to the 15th Ward".
Did you notice "full time Alderman" and "no outside interest"?
Yeah, ok, part-time Alderman. Line the pockets people!

OK dope, name one, just one nation that still has a commissioned battleship and what is that ship. Take a minute if you have to.
Here is a clue: There are none. As in zero, none, nada, not any, as I said originally.
With the decommissioning of the last Iowa-class ships, no battleships remain in service (including in reserve) with any navy worldwide.
All battleships that have not been scrapped are serving as museum ships.
jacksons are proof to many aldercreatures and congressmen
at least 2 spots that aren't necessary
I have also lived in Detroit and Chicago. The other poster who said that he felt safer there must be in a state of total delusion. I am sure he voted for Obama.
