Attack at the Fireworks Show

Anyone hear about this one?  We didn't:
  • A group of people attending a fireworks show at the lakefront Saturday, Nov. 17 got attacked by a mob of 15 to 20 young men and at least one woman was robbed.

    Police said the attack took place at about 10 p.m. Nov. 17 in the 1000 block of North Lake Shore Drive. A 19-year-old Chicago woman said that she was watching the fireworks show with her friends from Oak Street Beach, and after the show was over a group of about 20 people aged 15 to 18, several wearing ski masks, surrounded them and then attacked, punching and kicking them.


    The woman told police she was knocked down by an assailant who appeared to be a 16-year-old who then took her purse before all the attackers fled in different directions. The woman lost her credit card and keys and reported minor injuries.

In fact, SkyLineNewspaper.com has a bunch of stories that didn't seem to find the light of day.  Most are run-of-the-mill robberies, muggings and some burglaries.  But you'd think that a mob of 15 to 20 people attacking someone at Oak Street....that ought to raise some uncomfortable questions for Rahm and Garry.

I'm not one to say get out there and crack heads. Quite the opposite. But what the fuck does it take for these fucking bosses to get there heads out of their asses? We have how many coppers assigned and detailed to 018 and the lakefront and they couldn't find the resources to man this area? I don't know who the exempt was in charge of that area. Maybe it was a Sgt's fault. But I'll be damned this would've been avoided had a few blue shirts been told to stand post over there. Maybe they were told and they were a bunch of dog asses. Who the fuck knows anymore. In the immortal words of Socrates, "fuck it".

Rahmlo and McCarpet would not release this incident to the news media, because it occurred on the same weekend of the other 2 Michigan Avenue incidents- the doctor stabbing and the cop getting run over. They purposely kept this incident hushed so that it would not blow their big Chicago Is Safe speech.

Can someone in 018 and 001 do us a favor and let us know of crimes as such here on SCC? The city rulers are not letting the citizens and visitors know, and someone should.

If there was a rape pattern in an area, and cpd did not release a community alert, cpd would be in big trouble. So why isn't cpd releasing a community alert concerning these batteries, assaults and robberies occurring in 018 and 001?

John Herman was released from prison last December and is living in Chicago. I dont know if he is back on the job, but I doubt it. The city would fight that to the end . The entire matter was tossed out on appeal. Yes, it was a railroad job probably based on his history and not on the facts of the case along with a lying alleged victim with an eye for money. Still, four years in prison for nothing. I hope he does get his job back.

---------
All police departments routinely hide information that the rest of us would find useful. Just part of police culture. Really part of government entity culture in general, but police agencies are much worse in this respect than other governmental entities.

There is some legitimacy to some of it, e.g - it does not make sense to talk about ongoing undercover operations but the vast majority of what is hidden is culturally driven rather than operational considerations.

Not a cop.

Obama broke America. Rahm wants to rebuild America? In chicago's likeness?

Demographics alone are not destiny. There is nothing in this year’s election returns that guarantees Democrats a permanent majority in the years to come. President Obama and the Democratic Party earned the support of key groups — young people, single women, Latinos, African Americans, auto workers in the Rust Belt and millions of other middle-class Americans — because of our ideas.

But we cannot expect Republicans to cede the economic argument so readily, or to fall so far short on campaign mechanics, the next time around.

I think the answer to all of 018 problems is to have 2 District Commanders like they do it in 019. Well the XO thinks he's the real commander in 019 since he always does the opposite of what the Commander wants. Like making all the management decisions for all 3 watches for the watch bids w/o input from the commander, since the commander was on furlo. A District with 2 Commanders will not stand........................for long........

best interview ever !

In a 1971 interview with Playboy magazine Wayne responded to questions about whether entitlement programs including Medicare and Social Security were good for the country:
I know all about that. In the late Twenties, when I was a sophomore at USC, I was a socialist myself — but not when I left. The average college kid idealistically wishes everybody could have ice cream and cake for every meal. But as he gets older and gives more thought to his and his fellow man's responsibilities, he finds that it can't work out that way — that some people just won't carry their load ... I believe in welfare — a welfare work program. I don't think a fella should be able to sit on his backside and receive welfare. I'd like to know why well-educated idiots keep apologizing for lazy and complaining people who think the world owes them a living. I'd like to know why they make excuses for cowards who spit in the faces of the police and then run behind the judicial sob sisters. I can't understand these people who carry placards to save the life of some criminal, yet have no thought for the innocent victim

Just got back from Tennessee, and gotta tell ya; this would not happen there.

Hypothetically speaking, if, at a Thursday's Dancing in the District in downtown Nashville, this nutty shit happened, you would see a plethora of pistols raised shoulder level, ready to fire, if needed. Bad guys would run, get clothes-lined and "ready-made" for Nashville's finest to process.

We love our outdoor rifle ranges and wax poetic about our assorted firearms. Each with a story to tell, and we do our best to pass it down to our children, simultaneously beseeching them to respect life and the power of the firearm equally.

I also noticed how I can cruise through Indiana, Kentucky and Tennessee at a sweet 70 MPH, but, in Ill-Annoy, the great nanny state, entering her borders dictates a 65 MPH Max. And we have no CCW. Of course, the politicians know best for us...

You must be retarded, seeing that civilians don't follow a use of force model as we do. One can easily paint a picture of "fear of life" when being attacked by 15-20 of Englewood's finest honor role students. You don't think 15-20 people can beat someone to death? I've seen the results of 3 people beating a man to death. Look at Daley's nephew, he killed a man with one punch.

Can't be illegal if they havent committed a crime, right?

Now, factually speaking, Hispanic immigration to the U.S. is a great socio-economic boon to our nation and has been cited by the U.S. Defense Dept as a key factor in maintaining a positive population growth and therefore a key factor in maintaining a US economic, political, and military supremacy into the 21st Century.

PS, I cant stand working with small-minded 'tard partners who hate Hispanics.

John Herman was released from prison last December and is living in Chicago. I dont know if he is back on the job, but I doubt it. The city would fight that to the end . The entire matter was tossed out on appeal. Yes, it was a railroad job probably based on his history and not on the facts of the case along with a lying alleged victim with an eye for money. Still, four years in prison for nothing. I hope he does get his job back.

11/24/2012 08:16:00 AM


I hope he doesn't!!! I agree 100%, he did not belong in prison.
But anyone who is screwing a crack whore while on duty and has children to support is a stupid f--k who does not belong on this job! The detectives attempted to help him out, but he was much smarter than them. He rolled the dice and crapped out because he is an idiot!
Morons like him we don't need!!

Detectives have been detailed to these events for several months now. They were at Parade of Lights, all the bs Obama details and Bud B.
Homicide clearance rate below 20% ,robbery clearance rate equally dismal, and McBoozer has them detailed out standing on corners.
No new dicks in 6 years.
Suspend, suspend, suspend. This isn't your grandad dies D Unit anymore.
When you check off each night with all zeroes, the average dick has a shit load of cases sitting in his or her in box, that never go away, as for every five or ten you suspend, five or ten more show up
No matter which case your working on, it's not the right one when some beefer calls the CO and complains its been a month and nothing has been done...

Hypothetical's:


1. why would you still be there?

2. why would you choose to both: a) waste a, presumably, good bullet, by firing it into the ground, and b) a perfectly fortuitous opportunity to begin solving the very problem that got you those theoretical 'minor injuries'?

3. with your apparent mindset, what leads you to think that you'd get the chance to do anything but beg for your life, after your weapon of choice has been taken from you, during the activities which resulted in your incurring those 'minor injuries', and pointed at your empty head?


theoretically speaking, of course.

Only the dogs have a problem with XO Ryan. I can't think what this place would be like without him. He is a true old school boss if your a dog he will deal with you, and for that you don't like him. How about come on time(or even come to roll call dogs) do your tour answer your jobs and come clear, do something besides sleep, if your tired because you have kids and your wife can't watch them, maybe this job isn't for you dog. It isn't a job to come and catch up on your sleep because your kids had hockey or baseball or whatever fuck sport will help your kid that your daddy never let you do Lol. Oh and I know you dogs will all be mad and respond how about fuck you now and don't care what your slacker like responses are. One last time, a tip for you, Come to work on time, that means yes come to roll call, get out there handle your jobs, not code them out from your hole, and clear up from them so we all don't have to cover your beats because you went down in station on bullshit paper. Thanks again XO Ryan for trying to keep us in line, we are the police, people count on us when we show up, so lets show up and do our jobs. Thank You and everyone be safe, back each other up..

Hey dipshit, they committed a crime when they entered the country ILLEGALLY. It's against the law to do that, or did you not know that? If you tried to sneak into another country, you would find yourself in prison there. Go look at what Mexico does to its illegal aliens.

The real old school bosses who would would actually take care of working coppers and even threw a dog a bone sometimes. I never ever remember any "real old school bosses" getting on the radio all day yelling and screaming about writing Parkers at so and so, clearing the board even though there's no RAP, throwing time due slips at the desk Sgt, denying coppers time due, walking around the station in a rage, playing inspector by spying on cars in the parking lot, and just being an all around miserable person. Real old school bosses would yell if they had to for your own good, usually they would sit you down, tell you what's f**ked up, and then tell you how not to make that mistake again. It's called mentoring, there is no mentoring with the XO in 019, just demeaning, belittling, screaming from this guy. Hey Capt, if work makes you this made and angry then it's time to retire, enjoy life, you got over 31 years on the job, what you waiting for????

best interview ever !

In a 1971 interview with Playboy magazine Wayne responded to questions about whether entitlement programs including Medicare and Social Security were good for the country:
I know all about that. In the late Twenties, when I was a sophomore at USC, I was a socialist myself — but not when I left. The average college kid idealistically wishes everybody could have ice cream and cake for every meal. But as he gets older and gives more thought to his and his fellow man's responsibilities, he finds that it can't work out that way — that some people just won't carry their load ... I believe in welfare — a welfare work program. I don't think a fella should be able to sit on his backside and receive welfare. I'd like to know why well-educated idiots keep apologizing for lazy and complaining people who think the world owes them a living. I'd like to know why they make excuses for cowards who spit in the faces of the police and then run behind the judicial sob sisters. I can't understand these people who carry placards to save the life of some criminal, yet have no thought for the innocent victim

11/24/2012 01:15:00 PM

Just a reminder about Social Security: it IS NOT an entitlement program- that's YOUR MONEY that the government takes out if YOUR PAYCHECKS. Do NOT be brainwashed into forgetting that!

WOW you didn't answer in capital letters. I didn't think you knew where the Caps unlock button was. Well DA, seeking charges for guns, cars, burglaries, felony mob action and others as a PO are the same as you doing it working in your shoes. Not jealous, just doing the same thing. Yes I have interviewed witnesses, offenders, and Victims. Yes I have had to explain and present these interviews and evidence to Felony review on the phone and in person. You're just to stupid to realize it.
Like you said asswipe you can go back down to being a patrolman (patrolwoman in your case), but I've done the job you say only you can do, so again you're full of shit.
