Gang Funerals

  • Gang funerals in Chicago will be treated like “gang events” — with pat-downs and all of the police muscle that entails — because gang leaders have shown “no respect” for neighborhoods where those funerals take place, Mayor Rahm Emanuel said Wednesday.

    One day after Chicago Police officers showed up in force at a gang funeral, Emanuel warned gang leaders to get used to it. Gang funerals will no longer be treated as sacred events.


    “Where there’s a gang funeral — given that they have shown no respect for a place of worship — we’re gonna change how they’re gonna operate. The Police Department is gonna change the way they deal with gang funerals,” the mayor said.
Seeing as how many of these "places of worship" are actually funded by the drug trade, you'd think they might hire their own security instead of Chicago providing free police service at the expense of all neighborhoods.

And remember, this kind of coverage doesn't come cheap:
  • A police helicopter was on stand-by to escort the funeral procession to the cemetery and watch for illegal conduct but the burial was canceled because Miller’s family was apparently unable to pay the bill.
We guess Chicago is paying for the burial at some point, too.  Truly a cradle-to-grave existence.

    I guess someone should add the chopper operating cost for the cities 500 homicides per year to that often touted city homicide cost of $400,000 dollars per incident. Not to mention the additional boots on the ground at the funeral.

    That chopper has to be cost a min. of $1,000 per hour to run. A three day wake and burial..do the math. This min. $1.4 million bird will be running full time for gang funerals with no end in site.

    This is liable to start cutting into that Maggie Daley park money if they don't hurry up and piss it away.

    The dancing elephant in the room is the legalization of weed and not just the decriminalization of it.

    It would provide a new tax source and it would also hit the street drug trade.

    However you had better find something that these people can do within the rules of society else the problem will resurface and adapt to take on another form.

    We can't afford the war on drugs any longer. It's bankrupting us and the will doesn't exist to protect the borders to stop it.

    <><><><><><><><><><>

    Yeah, OK. The Miller family doesn't have the Benjamins to bury Ol' Boy. Suuuurrrrrreee.

    But the Miller family and just about every asshole in that fru-na-rah procession were in late model vehicles. And we're talking Caddys, Lexuses, Lincolns and Infinitis to name just a few.

    The less-blessed bruthas in the transportation department still had rims and sounds on their hoopties and buckets that cost thousands. Groups without personal transportation rented limousines to partake in the procession and festivities.

    Airbrushed memorial T-shirts aside, the mourners - or should I say revelers and partygoers - were all dressed to the nines; the modern day Rocawear equivalent of the ghetto fabulous zoot suits of yore paired with the latest $300 sneakers were the duds of choice of the "gentlemen".

    Baby Mama companions donned gaudy animal print tops and wedged themselves into the prerequisite spandex leggings or various other "coochie cutter" type bottoms. Not to be overlooked was the fact that all females in attendance had they hair and nails did all pretty-like and flashed boatloads of bling.

    One must not overlook that this savage burial ritual (like every other gang funeral) also consisted of partaking in the consumption of the finest "'dro" and top shelf spirits.

    Don't think for a second that these bastards are indigent. Their money (which is actually OUR money) is readily available to support their hedonistic existence, but is off-limits when it's time to purchase life's staples and mandated-by-law things like auto insurance.

    So yes, SCC, Chicago's taxpayers will somehow be on the hook to deep six the carcass of this rotten motherfucker. Politically correct cowards, liberal Obama drones and those afraid of eliciting the almighty Race Card will once again - AS ALWAYS - ignore the obvious and continue to make excuses for these savages, thereby tacitly allowing them to continue to act like fucking animals.

    My apologies to the animal kingdom.

Seriously get your head examined McGoofy and stop smoking the mari jane. Stop making us look horrible. These crimnals are going to kill each other anyways.

    Back in the day gang intelligence unit would take pictures at funerals of the gang bangers from a distance and as they would leave the funeral home or church do a street stop on the gang bangers and probably get a head for a gun. Also on the anniversary of a gang bangers death the rival gang would go to the cementary and piss on the grave. Take more photos of active gang bangers, a few more street stops and a few heads for guns. That was police work but giving police protection at funerals is just giving the gang bangers creditbility. Let the El Rukins supply protection. This Dept. has good, working police officers but the command staff seems has never worked the street.

    Here is the latest bi-partisan pension proposal floating in Springfield according to Crains

    • Cost-of-living adjustments would apply only to the first $25,000 of someone's pension, and would kick in only when someone turns 67 or five years after retirement, whichever comes first. Current retirees would be included.

    • The retirement age would be increased from one year for those now aged 40 to 45, to five years for those under 35. And all employees would have to contribute 2 percent more of their salary toward their pension.

The alderman responded by saying he was looking into imposing a police tax on people who are arrested and get moving violations. The alderman also said that the money will go towards hiring more police. He said he is waiting on the legal department to see if it will fly.

    In theory it sounds like a great idea but we all know that it won't happen. How many times have we seen funds for one project go somewhere else?

    For the "Plan" to gain traction, there can be no people allowed to hang around that might put up a fight... Right?

    Part of the "Plan" as we "Free Thinkers" see it, Involves generating enough strife and consternation to obscure the fact that this city is very actively being taken from the people who ACTUALLY pay the freight in taxes, fees, fines, snatch-backs and all manner of assorted bojankery.

    The other part is intentionally giving this city over to the "catered to constituents" to grow and groom a new and fanatically loyal demo-commie-crat voter base... Rahm's actions say fuck what's left of the middle class louder than any words of his can convey.

    It's cold, hard numb3rs (snicker!) and the Chicago tax-paying middle class IS OUTNUMBERED so Rahm & Co. are catering to you know who.

    Meanwhile, Rahm & Co. are LEANING REAL HARD on the North Shore/Gold Coast/NYC/Hollywood corporate, charity & entertainment cabal to give them first dibs on Chicago in return for his Presidential run in 2016 or 2020.

    Claim to fame? "I balanced* Chicago's budget and rooted out Police corruption* so king me!"

    Nevermind the muffled screams of the tortured, bound and gagged Chicago middle-class taxpayer coming from the trunk of the soon to be burning car after Rahm is done with his announcement.

    You good citizens who dare to venture here and read this blog should remember commentary about the catered to constituents jaw-jacking The Police about, "We in charge now! Y'all works for us!"

    Heh... They're including YOU AND YOUR FAMILIES in that funky equation as well...

    The connection bestween Rahm and Obama is clear, since they both disregard the law. Consider that we have no right to involve ourselves and interfere in a personal/family religious service.Where is the Probable Cause or Reasonable Suspicion to have us hasseling mourners? Was there not recently a Supreme Court case involving a religious group that would hang around, and protest military funerals? Rahm may think he is a Dictator, and personal buddy to "our savior Obama"; but the reality is that the U.S. Constitution is still the law everywhere, including Crook County. Having uniformed, rifle carrying police officers frisking mourners, family members, and randomly questioning people of color paying their last respects to the deceased, unless requested,appears to violate the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution with respect to freedom of religion, assembly and speech. Rahm took dance and communication in college, he is not a lawyer! Loevy and Loevy will hear about this. Baby "G"

    I may get hammered for this post, but I like the police presence at these "goin home celebrations," If CPD can contain these savages and keep them from ravaging the neighborhoods where these funeral homes are located, some of the decent tax paying citizens are being protected, albeit at a huge cost. However if it will keep a senior citizen or some little kid playing in his or her yard safe, then I think it's money well spent. Don't get me wrong, they can kill each other from dusk to dawn and I won't shed a tear, but these fuckers don't keep their shit in their own little circle. Innocent people end up getting caught up in their bullshit. I appreciate the CPD's show of force. Kinda like watching the lion tamers keeping the animals in line, although comparing lions and tigers to these savages is an insult to the animal kingdom since the lions and tigers can be trained to behave. Stay safe CPD and God bless all of you.

Isn't preventing further violence at these events the exact same thing they were supposedly paid for in the first place?? But ms. ameena matthews and her crew are nowhere to be found! And now tiny dancer has tac teams, police helicopter, and patrolmen escorting these fools at their funerals? What a fucking joke! There should be absolutely NO police service- NONE for these low-lifes. Here's an idea instead- put up a big sign at every ghetto funeral that reads:WARNING!! ATTEND AT YOUR OWN RISK; THE FOLLOWING PROCESSION IS FOR A KNOWN GANG MEMBER. THERE IS A HIGH RISK OF RETALIATION FROM OPPOSING MEMBERS WHICH MAY INCLUDE BUT NOT LIMITED TO: ASSAULT, DAMAGE TO PROPERTY, GUNFIRE, AND DEATH. It's time to stop playing referees for these anoles- they have no respect for the living, or the dead.

    Past time for them to be productive.. Was listening to some Gershwin [Porgy & Bess] while reading the blog and clarity ensued.
    Gang member passes, he gets no funeral. They get turned over to the medical students for practice. Then they get cremated without embalming and ashes be placed in a plastic container. After enough are stacked up, they're placed in a common area at Burr Ridge. Plastic containers are reusable so they're sent back to the institute. Common area is gated and entered only via fingerprint scan. Prints are compared to anything open & results are realtimed to the nearest units. It would be incumbent for families that are interested in burying their kin to keep junior out of and away from gangs even if they have to get up from the TV and sanitize their neighborhoods directly, without governmental interaction or interdiction. A backlog of jobs would provide ample time to get away and establish alibis as needed.
    Upsides-
    Manpower savings by not babysitting. Would also allow better use of units as honor guard.
    Possible apprehension of wanted via scans.
    Doctors trained better than ever before cost effectivly.

    Downsides-
    Anyone? Bueller?

    O.T. 025 3rd Watch

    I want to thank the District Commander for addressing some of the issues I delineated about on this blog.

    The writing on the bathroom walls has to stop. And this "tradition" has to end. If you do not like someone then please don't associate with them. There is no need to write people's names on the bathroom wall. Such juvenile behavior is immature and it hurts the camaraderie that exists between officers. Thanks D.C. for erasing the nonsense on the bathroom wall.

    Next officers need to stop writing hurtful comments about each other on the roll call sheets. This immature behavior needs to stop.

    Come on 025 3rd watch, we are better than that. We can do it! Let us truly come together to be the "pride of the city" as the poster says. Thank you for listening and back each other up.

    Now we will add more legitimacy to them by providing them with security? What the hell are the bosses thinking? Look if at a gang funeral more career criminals and gang bangers die then so be it. They chose that lifestyle.

Along with the 4 explosions there were gunshots reported, all around 84th and Kedvale (one of those "K" streets east of Cicero). At 3 a.m. I heard 3 more explosions, it was reported that a pipe bomb was found in the alley and it damaged a garage. Is it safe to say that all the explosions I heard were pipe bombs?

    Preckwrinkle is right on calling the mayor out today.

    The city will piss away $50,000 per gun shot victim in ER/EMS expenses, $54,000/yr to imprison the shooter, $400,000 to investigate a homicide, and who knows how much more now for gang funeral security expenses and over $55 million dollars on a G-damn Maggie Daley Park that serves the top 2%

    Where's societies ROI (return on investment) for the money that you're pissing away Rahm? Where?

    That $54,000 dollars/yr spent to imprison someone what do we get for our money? At the end of their term we're right back in the same place.

    That money will definitely pay for a 2 year and in some cases a 4 year college degree when you think about where the money is going.

    That $55 million dollar park? heh.

    Meanwhile the city closes down mental health facilities and closes schools. Imports illegal immigrants that bring their illicit drug connections to the community to pay for it all.

    We spend more time doing background checks on gun owners then we do background checks on immigrants.

    How f-d up can you get mayor?

    You know what is fucked up? These gang funerals are pure chaos. Pure chaos in which the officers are outnumbered by a ratio of 50 to 1, 100 to 1 and sometimes the ratio is even worse! Yes there may be 100 officers and 1000 shit heads. So the gang bangers can do whatever they please.

    100 to 1000 is ten to one

    OT

    Did you see the list of underutilized schools? Will someone put a dollar amount on this waste? What is being spent per pupil in these places as a result? And they are all failing schools?

    12/06/2012 01:20:00 AM

    Agreed.

    The bigger concern here should be the list of GROSSLY over crowded schools: all in Police/Fire neighborhoods. The 3 closest schools to me on the farthest NW side are so crowded that my son eats lunch at his desk and they turned the actual stage into TWO classrooms!!!

    How can there possibly be schools operating at 30% capacity when OUR neighborhoods are at %140 capacity?!?!? Complete outrage. Good to see the Sun-Times cover OUR plight...oh, sorry, no free lunches at our school, so no one cares. Screw the tax payers, they never complain.

    Better not complain too much or the plan will be to bus kids from our neighborhood to the shit areas to fill those schools. The test scores would rise and CPS would claim "highest turn around in the world".

    I hate this City so much.

    Donny Trotter busted for UUW at O'Hare Airport. Donny says he worked late security for some company and forgot. Yeah RIGHT, He's not State Registered to do that kind of work. He needs to be charged with the felonies associated with that misdeed and if the named company backs him they need to be charged also.

    Ummm no. He didnt have it registered in the city. He does have a FOID and is registered at the state level to do armed secruity. Reading is a great skill to pick up. Basically it would amount to a local ticket had he had it in his checked bag. They could nail him all they want and I won't be impressed because I am not concerned about Donne Trotter trying to take a shot at me or fight the police. I think it was a mistake, stupid as it is.

    Sorry this is long, but totals from the Huffington Post from Dec. 3, 2012:

    Nearly 40 people were wounded in gun violence over one of Chicago's bloodiest weekends in recent months this weekend.

    According to Fox Chicago, seven people were killed in shootings and one in a stabbing incident over the weekend in Chicago.
    The fatal shooting victims range in age from 23 to 46. William Lee Martin, 30, died after being shot in the 4200 block of South Wells Street in Fuller Park around 6:20 p.m. Friday. Three other people were wounded in the same shooting which was followed, fifteen minutes later, with a separate shooting about two miles away -- in the 1100 block of West 51st Street -- where two 19-year-old men were critically wounded in an apparent drive-by shooting, according to DNAinfo.com Chicago.

    Later on Friday, around 9:30 p.m., Aswell Selmon, 46, was fatally shot in front of his home and two others wounded critically during a shooting in the 5000 block of North Winthrop Avenue in the city's Uptown neighborhood, the Chicago Tribune reports.

    Marlon L. Vaughn, 28, was stabbed in the chest in the city's Lawndale neighborhood around 12:25 a.m. Saturday and died shortly thereafter at an area hospital.

    Fox Chicago has a rundown of additional fatal and non-fatal shootings in Chicago.

    According to the RedEye homicide tracker's tally, Chicago is up to 485 homicides this year, as of early Sunday. Last Monday, on the heels of a holiday weekend that saw at least 24 shootings, two men were shot, one fatally, outside of a funeral for an alleged gang member. Later Monday evening, Porshe Foster, a 15-year-old girl, was fatally shot while standing with friends in a back yard during a sleepover.

    Still, Chicago Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy commented last week that the city is actually on track to having one of the nation's largest reductions in overall crime this year -- despite widespread reports on the city's soaring homicide rate when compared to last year. Since May 1, homicides in the city have actually decreased, according to McCarthy.

    ---------

    485 and a whole chunk of Dec. left to go!

    Abbate Juror: "I read your column about it in Wednesday's paper," he told me over the phone. "I was appalled at what the mayor is trying to do. Just appalled. It's morally reprehensible. And that's why I contacted you."

    "..."Abbate wanted silence. The mayor wants silence. He wants this to go away," Lentino said. "The mayor's response was similar to that of a petulant child. He didn't get what he wanted; now he wants it to change. This isn't going to cost the city just $850,000. By changing it, it's going to cost the city respect. As a result of this decision of the mayor, the public will lose the respect of the judicial process. And if you lose that, where are you?"

    Lentino has friends in the Police Department who go out and risk their lives and make arrests. They're what street cops call "the real police." And he said the jury learned that the code of silence works not from the bottom up, but from the top down.

    "The average officer on the street is a decent person with their life on the line," he said. "I have nothing but respect for them. I have personal friends who are and were police officers, and I know from them the type of work they do.

    "But the upper levels, it's different. They didn't want problems. Problems rock the boat. And when they can sweep it away, that's fine. They accept it, they allow the code of silence to exist. It only exists at the bottom because the ones on top allow it. And to change this ruling now, it would be terrible.""
