You Go Chalkie!
- A father of four was on his way back from his morning ritual of getting his cup of coffee and morning newspaper when he was shot and killed, becoming the 436th homicide victim of the year in Chicago, surpassing the city’s murder count for all of last year.
Carlos Alexander, 33, had just come back from the store a few hundred feet from his home in the 7900 block of South Escanaba when he was shot about 10:30 a.m. Monday.
He was taken to Northwestern Memorial Hospital, where he died, police said.
Rahm decides to focus on the bullshit numbers that CompStat has been producing, none of which are based in reality:
- Mayor Rahm Emanuel said today that it's "not good" the city has surpassed the homicide total for all of last year, even as he sought to keep the spotlight on what he said have been successes in fighting crime.
"We have other milestones," Emanuel said. "One is, overall crime is down 9 percent in the city, has seen the largest drop ever. Second, we're tearing down the 200th building today where gangbangers and drug dealers hang out."
Crime still isn't down - it's under-reported as citizens give up waiting for police that never arrive in a timely manner as we're busy cleaning up a 25% increase in dead bodies and assorted maimings.
But hey, we have exactly the number of police we need - according to the mayor and supernintendo.
How long until someone claims "that's racist"?

Shot at 10:30 in the morning on a Monday? WTF?!! But crime is down. The midget and McMumbles say it is. And the brain-dead citizens don't say a word. The alderman will rubberstamp everything 9.5 sends their way. The democRATS will all be re-elected...and nothing will change. Welcome to Chicago, Illinois.
Put it in terms that these people understand. Put it in dollar values.
It's been widely reported that each homicide cost the city $400,000 in costs. 436 homicides is $174,400,000 for the year so far.
To put is another way.
THAT's THE EQUIV OF THREE TOTALLY USELESS MAGGIE DALEY MEMORIAL PARKS.
Thank you Mayor Rahm for pissing the taxpayers money away then demonizing us all for living beyond our means, demanding handouts, entitlements, like pensions that we all have EARNED.
Hey boys and girls. Shared sacrifice and all that bullshit you know? We all have to sacrifice for the ex-mayors wife greatness. Fifty-five million dollar Maggie Daley Park while we all can go to hell.
Add three more dead after that... 4 6 and 14
HEAR NO EVIL -- SEE NO EVIL -- SPEAK NO EVIL.
Instead of the "Serve and Protect" on our emblem we should just use the above.
If someone dials 9-1-1 at a residence see if you can punish them for doing so. Write them a ticket or see if there's a reason that you can call out a city inspector for as punishment.
Hey. How much different is that logic that putting a "violence tax" on ammo?
They already got my $700 I-phone and you want me to wait all afternoon for the CPD to show up so I can lose my job too!
Eff you mayor. Yeah crime is down. Sell it to someone else.
Preckwinkle must of gave out the order to Rahm. Look we're not going to lock them up cuz it's gonna blow out my budget. So there's no use arresting them and adding more cops will just make matters worse. Releasing them on P/R bonds is already overloaded.
Yet there was also an increase in 911 calls this year over last. Just less paper being written, due to the lack of police.
Were at roughly 8500 officers. Were very short handed but we do our best. Crime is not down.. The mayor won't let me do the type of real policing that the city needs. Keep reporting scc!

That's racist! Am I the first?
"SNITCHES GET STITCHES"
That's What's Working!
Not COMPstat. Not the Mayors plan. Not the Top Cop's plan.
STATISTICS 101 -- Correlation Does Not Necessarily Equal Causation.
Just because a crime isn't being reported or counted doesn't mean that the crimes have stopped happening.
The street gangs have so much power in the hood as a result of the political failures no one is calling the cops anymore for fear of retribution.
THE TERRORIST GANGS ARE WINNING!
YES this is your so-called crime is down WIN.
These b.s. statistics are being misinterpreted as a success by McGoofy and Nine Point five.
Cut the number of beat cops by another thousand and see how the gang intimidation goes.
Tighten the gun control laws more. Disarm the taxpayers and place them at the mercy of the street gangs and watch the 9-1-1 calls drop.
The taxpayers have lost hope of CPD's ability to arrive in time to intervene when they are threatened by a thug. It's not the blue shirts fault, look higher up.
These clowns are living in an altered state reality world.
Other crimes being reported as down is because everyone is holding their position in the box trying to contain homicides and shootings. There's no-one left to handle the "Broken Windows" stuff that the golden ones label.
"We’re on the verge of setting a 30-year record low for the number of murders in the month of October,” McCarthy said. “I can’t go back to the beginning of the year and change that. . . We are making progress, but it’s not good enough.”
WTF?! And the media just accepts this blatant manipulation of words and statistics?
The last time I looked 79th & Escanaba was in the 7th Ward.
The folks living there have the misfortune of being unable to look to their elected public officials for assistance.
7th Ward alderman, Sandi Jackson, resides in Washington D.C. with her children and her part time husband.
County Commissioner Bill Beavers is preparing for his forthcoming trial in Federal Court.
Congressman Jesse Jackson Jr. is hiding out at the Mayo Clinic with a bad case of Fereralist.
Judge Brim, who also is from this area, is crazy but running for re-election.
Could it be if the neighborhood had elected public officials who looked out for the voters rather than themselves they might have less crine.
Are there no level one trauma centers in shit town?
"But hey, we have exactly the number of police we need - according to the mayor and supernintendo."
with all due respect, i have to say that i'm not complaining.
but, then, i'm not a taxpayer.
Chalkie
via ChicagoTribune..
" In the hours after Chicago's homicide count for this year passed its total for all of 2011, more shootings on Monday left at least two others dead and six people injured. "
=======================
Two more homicides == $800,000 dollars
Six others with GSW == $312,000 dollars in ER and hospital cost on the taxpayers.
Guess we'll just have to raise some more taxes to pay for it eh?
Grand total tonight == $1,112,000
Over a million bucks baby!!
When you squeeze your taxpayers for a million bucks while using the violence as a tool, and while playing the victim, it would be easy to slip a few thousand off the top and direct it in "other" areas no?
When you're dealing with seven digits and beyond, I mean really, who's watching the money that close? What's a couple of K?
Don't stop the violence! No, you're messing with the cities revenue stream. We need that violence to create new taxes..
Oh my just look at this budget! Whatdowedo. What do we do?
If homicides and shootings are going up and let's just assume that all other crime is going down -- then maybe, just maybe the thugs are upgrading their activities after a few weeks in the joint for simple robbery/burglary/rape or auto theft?
The pro's in the joint are teaching them where the real money lies while they are in the joint and the double bonus is that "snitches get stitches".
I mean why rob someone on the street for chump change when you can change your target to a higher value one and then it becomes mind your own business nobody saw nuttin' when it comes to the police.
Sure you may get shot but you chances of sitting in jail are a lot lower if there's no witnesses.
So while Rahm and Gary play there shell game of numbers we have an increasingly violent society that is growing and the city leaders are telling us look at the auto thefts they're down..
A man has died after plunging an unknown height from a 55-story high-rise in the Near East Side neighborhood, authorities said.
The man, whose name authorities have not yet released, died after landing on the 100 block of North Harbor Drive at about 8:45 p.m.
***
A "shaken up" female driver was taken to the Northwestern Memorial Hospital afterward, the Chicago Fire Department tweeted.
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/chi-police-male-dies-after-plunging-from-lakefront-highrise-20121029,0,6727202.story
Now why would a man want to jump off a 55 story building in this WORLD-CLASS GLORIOUS SANCTUARY CITY with all these high paying jobs and opportunities? Didn't he realize that there is going to be a $55 million dollar Maggie Daley Park being built too? Boy-oh-boy
Also, "Shaken up" == "TRAUMATIZE" like a war vet on a battle field.
Too bad Rahm closed all those mental health centers. I think she's gonna need one. Welp...he's off to the next campaign fund raiser I'll bet.
Enough with the BS line about crime is down because people aren't waiting for the police to report it. No robbery victim, no burglary victim, no auto theft victim, no CSA victim isn't reporting because the police don't get there fast enough.
Reported crime IS down. Get over it so we can focus on the remaining crime - like the shootings.
I heard someone on tv say that Illinois may go more Republican than previously thought. Seems people are not happy with Quinn and Rham. Of course we know our dark friends will vote democratic. When will they start voting the "content of their character"?

You erroneously assume that all "light" friends vote republican.

Crime would drop for real, if all the 7th Ward pols would stop committing crimes...
When will they start voting the "content of their character"?
10/30/2012 12:20:00 AM
they are voting the 'content of their charecter'.
they're racists.
Wow all the bullshit and lies the blood is all over rams dirty hands, and he is letting our well deserved pension fund go broke just like Daley,after Romney wins lets hope he puts in a u.s. attorney with balls that gets a bus and loads it up at city hall,the county and state Capitol,
The media along with the brass will blame the police for their sub-standard service.
Time to implement " Plan Q "...damn, running out of letters to name more " new " solutions/plans.
Say, how about this for an idea, let's spend $55 million dollars on a memorial park to the Daley cartel and more $$$ on some much needed bicycle lanes, yea, that's the ticket.
More cop's, who needs them.
From my perspective, which is quite low to the ground, there's nothing to see here. Move along!
"A father of four was on his way back from his morning ritual of getting his cup of coffee and morning newspaper when he was shot and killed,..."
<><><><><><><><><><>
The narrative includes: "The gunman, disguised as a coffee shop barista, uttered the phrase 'let me add a shot to that coffee'" just prior to discharging his firearm into the victim.
Add one more dead guy in 19 to the list.
The poor beat cop wont do any proactive policing until the McCarthy is gone. He is not trusted by the backbone of the department. Until he leaves homicides will continue to rise due to fact he does not have your back!!!
the city "burns" and "nero" fiddles away
I don't need to see numbers.
It's obvious that crime is up in my neighborhood. It's mostly burglaries but they are pretty consistent and everyone is talking about it. There have also been some violent hold-ups. I'm sure it has nothing to do with the felons from CleanSlate hanging around here.
But the neighborhood is safer than it was 15 years ago so it's time to close the 13th and turn it into a dog park. Who gives a rat's azz about a park for Maggie--we needs police.
What's with the lazy coppers in 012 not responding to a bonified person shot on Sunday? Too busy eating on Taylor street? Those dogs should be sent to a busy a district and those officers from the busy districts can get a vacation in 012.

When Republicans actually pretend like "they" exist and want to dialogue with them. Senator Mark Kirk has won plenty of "dark friends" as you so ignorantly put it by...imagine this...being a guest on black talk radio show multiple times and actively doing work to benefit a majority black college. I have never seen a white republican so well received on that show. For the record I was raised in a dem house and I'm not a dem or a republican. I don't trust either one but cut the crap with all that our "dark friends" garbage. First off we're probably not your friends, second off we're not single handedly holding any party in or out of power. Everyone talks about the democratic machine in Chicago. That machine has provided more jobs for whites than any "dark friends" you thought you had. That's what kept the machine running, jobs and funding. As it is when republicans are at the helm.
Looks like the only "crime strategy" that is working is Chalkie's ! Maybe Rahm and McJersey should step aside
Resignation time for McNumbnuts. He tried, but has been another abysmal failure. He should try being a Cop instead of a Democrat Politician and tool of Rahm, keep his nose out of Second Amendment Rights of citizens, and do the job and get at least 2,000 new Cops, Minimum. Demotion of all high ranking Supervisors should also be implemented. Far too much Crime and Corruption unanswered in Chicago, under Democrat Leadership. Time for big, significant, real, and effective change, away from the current failed socialist Leadership
Oh yes SCC. you Mccarthy on the 4 oclock news yesterday touting his initiatives but as of 2000hrs on Monday, you had 13 people shot in Chicago with four being fatally wounded! You go Gary! How about going back to New York?
Don't worry crime is down, dispatchers are downgrading the priority jobs anyway, guy gets hit in the face suffers brusing and swelling by first offender, second offender takes his cell phone, they both run off a cta bus. Victim tells cta bus driver to call police, 1st offender then returns and hits him again, incident happened at 1215, it doesn't get dispatched until 1245, because somebody made it into a theft job. Priority 2B. Victim wanted to leave but since the incident happened inside cta bus, the bus driver insisted he waited for police so she can cover herself. So who do you blame. But in the long run I would tell you that we will get blame because we didn't respond sooner.
I don't think anyone actually believes crime is down. Bullshit lies to soften the public up. It's a pretty bad day in Chicago when you can't even buy a cup of coffee without getting plugged.

This is a very thoughtful reply. Senator Kirk is a good mainstream Republican who is not held hostage by the radical right wing (you know the ones who are obsessed with abortion and gay marriage). I wished the Republican party could isolate and then kick out the fundamentalist Christian crazies. Then the Republican party would attract more voters.
Mayor TwinkleToes claims crime is down in all categories except murders, or homicides, or whatever they're called on today's date.
Of course, crime is going down because we ALL know cases are being reclassified.
My question is this....if cases such as burglaries, are being reclassified to criminal damage to property, then how can crime be going down in the CDTP category? (I'm just using that as an example).
They are hiding crime somewhere, somehow, and I think I know how they are doing it.
I was looking at a list of reasons you can UNFOUND a case--there are a lot of reasons. One of them is that you can't contact the victim. Another is that there are no leads or evidence.
So here's one way: As a detective, let's say I submit a "SUSPENDED CASE REPORT" for approval. The sgt. could read it, and decide to reclassify it to UNFOUNDED, then approve it. I never, ever check my APPROVED cases. If they're out of my "OPEN" box, that's all I care about.
Detectives SUSPEND cases pending contact with victims, because they've sent a letter or left a message....and also due to the lack of evidence or investigative leads....the cases are SUSPENDED to get them off the books for COMPSTAT. If the victim DOES happen to contact you, or the once in a blue moon you get a hit on prints back, you can always reopen it.
But let's say, 2 months after you submit a SUSPENDED case, someone in CMO, or someone assigned to do so, goes back and looks at the SUSPENDED cases, reopens them and UNFOUNDS them.
I might be wrong, but I believe when you UNFOUND a case it is off the books completely.
I've heard from at least 2 different sources, that there are detectives whose job it is to do just that--to go back and read the SUSPENDED reports where no contact was made, no new evidence or leads surfaced, (or whatever), reopen them, and reclassify them to UNFOUNDED.
If Part One crimes are being reclassified to Part Two crimes, then Part Two crime categories should be going up, yet according to McLosingHisJob, crime is down in ALL other categories? I call a BULLSHIT through a megaphone.
This was on the 'Chicago Breaking News':
"During City Council budget hearings last week, McCarthy argued that some cops liked being in the old mobile task forces because they had little accountability and could "run around the city playing cowboy."
"That's not good policing, and that's not what modern policing should look like," he said."
If he doesn't want coppers playing 'cowboy', then why is he encouraging coppers (aka Pilgrims) to jump off their horses (out of their cars) and contact card all of the Indians?
Oh, I forgot, we're not "Stopping" we're "Engaging" as that new lt. said on the news last week.
no doubt it by the end of the year it will be 500. mac will say things are improving. if we had a republican mayor they would be all over him. just tilt your head and put on a sad face and you get a pass rahm. your in over your head, it dont pay to kiss ass all the time. try throwing the f bomb at the mad dogs on the street.
Effective 01JAN 2013
All Crime Fighting Strategies will be issued in the follow format.
HZ000001
HZ000002
Etcetera
This sequential number will be used until 01JAN 2014, when the following
Format will be followed:
HA00001
HA00002
Etcetera.
This will insure that the department never runs out of Crime Fighting Strategies.
GM
When will they start voting the "content of their character"?
10/30/2012 12:20:00 AM
Never. Unless the 'contact of their character' is encased in color. Any color, as long as it's not white.
so.....what changes over the years?......nothing
10/30/2012 03:28:00 PM
Pretty much. That's why I don't support either party. I don't like Pres. Obama's liberal positions and I don't trust Romney because he's got fake written all over his face. Neither one of them is going to change the values I instill in my children and how I raise them. No matter which one of them is in office, our country is in bad shape and thinking we're actually going to rebound is a joke. Manufacturing jobs are not coming back because our labor is more expensive. It does not take a genius to figure that out. Government work is still where its at for the average joe whether in police, fire, the water dept, public works, garbage..whatever. All of them are tax payer funded jobs. We aint putting out enough engineers and scientists to make all this crap we're buying. Our classrooms are full of scientists and engineers though, they just weren't "made in America." I don't blame them. If I was from another country I'd send my kid to school here to so they can out perform the American kids whp are busy getting drunk, fighting, partying, and making youtube videos. As a nation, we have lost our way. Except our ideals change, which doesn't appear to be happening, we can move on over and give up the throne.
just reset everything mcnutty did and crime will go down...

I guess you must not have a job. Yes, people have a job and cannot wait to report a crime. The crime is done, waiting to fill out a report is not a priority.
I have to congratulate McWhateverthefuck and the guy pulling his strings….nice job and even a better job at the smoke and mirrors, I really think you have them all clueless on the manpower shortage….
Maybe Mcdipshit can close all streets due to ……weather?

Quit your bellyaching. If you need help, speak the f**k up! Otherwise, the rest believe the situation is under control.
By your logic, the city should violate our contract whenever and you'll just take it, eh champ? F**king moron.
Those "lazy cops in 012" display bravery on a daily basis. Many of those "lazy cops in 012" are seasoned officers that HAVE worked in ghetto districts. Bottom line: when the cavalry is called, it mounts and gets the job done. This applies to all districts. None of us want to see either of us hurt. We're happy to lend a hand when needed. Do you want assistance? Call for it. End of story.
