NOT the Weather (6 Dead Overnight)

  • Just months after Alease Davies’ oldest son was murdered in the Back of the Yards neighborhood, her youngest son was injured Friday evening in a drive by shooting a few blocks away.

    “I said, ‘Oh my God, not again. It’s only been five months,” said Davies, who now lives in Calumet City. “Am I cursed, or what?”


    The injured man was one of six people shot within 10 minutes in two incidents on the South Side, authorities said. Lavelle Davies and another person was shot in the 1100 block of West 51st Street. On the 4200 block of South Wells, four people were shot — including a man who was fatally shot while sitting on his couch by bullets from outside the home.

You ain't cursed Mama - you just raised an entire family of assholes.

So that's a quadruple shooting and a double within 10 minutes. Way to go Chicago! If only we could get a triple in there. What's that you say?
  • Three men were hospitalized in critical condition after being shot in the Uptown neighborhood, officials said.

    The shooting happened at 9:27 p.m. near the 5000 block of North Winthrop Avenue, said Chicago Fire Department Chief Joseph Roccasalva.


    The shooting left a 22-year-old, a man in his 30s, and another man whose age was not available, critically injured, Roccasalva said.
Double, triple, four-bagger. A single would mean we hit for the cycle tonight.

Fortunately, we already have, but those haven't made the papers yet since the media are busy with the multiple shootings. 012 and 002 had singles that we know of already. So we're up to at least a dozen shot overnight with two being fatals. That brings the yearly total up in the neighborhood of 485 before December even started.

Overall crime is down - but shootings and killings aren't. And aren't likely to be any time soon.

UPDATE: Media reports are 6 dead with 16 shot just in the past 14 hours or so.  Rahm is unavailable for comment and McCrimeIsDown is hiding under the bed.

Yep and response times of up to 40 minutes for a "man with a gun" call, evidence tech's running out of supplies and blowing off calls. Nineteen-paul.

However on the bright side, now that the winter parking ban is in effect, this should give a clean line of fire for the drive-by's....and a cleaner get-a-way.

Firefight Friday is over and we've entered Sharpshooter Saturday.

It's not the heat. It's the mayor's and the top cop's stupidity.

At $53,000 dollars in EMS/ER care per GSW we'll likely be another million dollars in debt by daybreak.

But that's okay, we'll just take it from pensions, social security and healthcare while playing the victim.

Hey look we put 500 more cops on the
street,. Overall crime is down! You don't see any of those political protestors calling out Rahm and violating the city park ordinances do ya?

And we keep sending more cops to neighborhoods like Englewood, the fine neighborhood that had approximately 97,000 residents in 1960 and approximately 30,000 today. With 30,000 residents left, how much longer before the bulldozer comes and we start over? It's like what happened to Detroit, the city went to hell and half the people packed up and left.

Play Wrestling

8:44 p.m. CST, November 29, 2012

The cousin of a man stabbed to death with a pair of scissors who said they were “play wrestling’’ when it happened early Wednesday on the Northwest Side has been charged with his murder, according to Chicago Police.

Jensen told officers on the scene that they were “play wrestling’’ when Ogara placed him in a headlock about 1:20 a.m. at the home in the 5400 block of North Natoma Avenue, according to a police report.

Jensen said that he “got the best” of Ogara and told police the next thing he remembered was seeing someone lying on the living room floor, bleeding, the report said.

It really doesn't matter whose name is the figurehead of the department. The mayor calls the shots and the "Superintendant" jumps. The system in Chicago is broken because decades of machine politics have subverted democracy and the voters are muti-generational sheeple. McLush is just a symptom, and Rahm a secondary infection.

The corporate controlled Scaramouch's will likely choose the word "spike" to characterize this weekends events.

Why spike?

Because we have to be careful about the images people conjure up when they hear about the murders, homicides, and gun shot victims of their neighbors.

See spike implies a sharp rise but it also implies that a sharp decline following the rise.

We'll see. I doubt it.

As long as the corporate controlled Scaramouch's continue doing the exact same thing over and over expecting the results to be different I don't hold much hope for the spike down.

Scar·a·mouch also Scar·a·mouche (skr-msh, -mch, -mouch)

n. A stock character in commedia dell'arte and pantomime, depicted as a boastful coward or buffoon.

Scaramouche is one of the iconic characters in the Punch and Judy puppet shows (a performative art with roots in commedia dell'arte). In some scenarios, he is the owner of The Dog, another stock character. During performances, Punch frequently strikes Scaramouche, causing his head to come off his shoulders. Because of this, the term scaramouche has become associated with a class of puppets with extendable necks.

I live very far west of Clark in 020. For the first time, with the exception of the 4th of July, I head rapid gunfire on two separate occasions last night. This house lists at $350,000 even in this market, and I don't expect to be living in an area where I have to tell my wife and daughter to get away from the windows. WTF Rahm? Where are the cops? Years ago they were always driving around nice older guys and gals, now the only time we see them is when they are rushing east to Clark, Broadway, Wintthrop and Kenmore. And my taxes went up!

12/01/2012 08:19:00 AM


Awwww, you sound like the type with the ostrich-head-in-the-sand mentality. Those people I was telling YEARS ago that this city is a crime-infested, violent shithole, but who didn't want to believe it because it's "such a beautiful city," and things weren't happening in YOUR neighborhood. So for one, who cared. For two, if you didn't see it, you didn't believe it.

How's that feeling now? Still all warm and fuzzy?

So you think everytime a candidate flunks a power test they can "sue the shit out of the city and make it a class action suit Hell, I must be stupid, I should have just flunked the situps, sued the city , got seniority, back pay and retired. Do you really believe you could get any money out of the city for something like that , yea tons of money and do you have any idea what a class action suit is. You dont just flunk a test and then turn it into a class action suit

Its a shame that a good kid can be denied the CPD job over crap like this. All it takes is one tester who doesnt like you or decides to mess with you. You would think there would be some recourse right there and maybe appeal to a sgt or lt, but then I guess when you are testing you dont have many rights I'm an ole retired guys and this has been going on for years When I tested it was the heart murmur or flat feet

Hey look everybody! The SWAT guy woke up. We haven't heard from you in a while SWAT guy. Where have you been? Furlough?

Hey SWAT guy. Why are you on SWAT? Gulf War sniper? Ex military? You think the chicks dig you in your green uniform?

Listen douche. If going to work and working out, firing you gun and partaking in scenarios is too much for you there are lots of other places in the department to work. Beat car. Desk. Lock up. Tact team.

You puds got the world by the balls when you compare what you do to others on this job. If the Cush job ain't worth it because you don't have a take home car then do something else.

Sorry HairGel, Cline is responsible for our current manpower shortages that are dangerously low now. He told Daley, "Mr. Mayor, I could do more with less." He also shut down District Lockups and laid off Civilians. He hugged Meeks and apoligized for a Sgt. doing his job. Cline is and was a stroke.

"I know your type, you hold everyone that's not CPD in contempt..."

For starters "good citizen," pipe down, humbly hold your hat in your hands and genuflect upon the tops of your shoes when Policeman are talking. You don't know nearly as much as you think you do.

Second. Policemen aren't as stupid as you wished they were. Regardless of what the media and your political masters have told you for years now.

Contempt? It's three-fold.

1. The dirty career politicians who have gamed and subverted every safeguard and firewall for THEIR BENEFIT only.

2. The sleep-walking electorate who've FAILED in the exercise of their duty as CITIZENS and allowed these career politicians to become entrenched and entitled by not exercising their voting rights judiciously and with extreme malice and prejudice.

FWIW... We smiled as we cast our vote. Nowhere else in this world can a man vote with a .45 ACP on his hip.

Rahm al Ghoul, the anal-whore media, the alderfools, the Fakir of Fuckery and all their enablers, supporters and constituents strenuously object.

(We invite them to fall backwards into their own asses.)

3. The dogs who have been allowed by the above to run virtually unchecked in this city and reach the point where they openly state that they have NO FEAR of the Upright Man, no fear of the laws of upright men or GOD ALMIGHTY and no fear of any and all sanction imposed by those same laws.

The ONLY ONES held accountable for and subjected very LOUDLY, publicly and painfully to sanction for their actions, ARE POLICEMEN!

YOU and YOURS, Mr. Citizen, bear sole responsibility for current state of affairs in this city.

Now... At this VERY LATE stage of the game at hand, some of you actually DARE to interrupt a Policeman's forward motion with a limp wristed handshake and a lukewarm "we REALLY appreciate what you guys do/you guys have a real tough job?"

Frightened out of your wits because you're finally seeing really scary shit climbing over the walls of the fort and flashing a filed to a point grin and brandishing a skull on a stick in your direction?

You people blithely paid no attention to the screams and shooting on the other side of the fort walls... For years.

Nor did you pay any heed to YOUR Policemen telling you about a culture of death worship, destruction, willful ignorance and the absolute rejection of even a PRETENSE of honoring the pact with greater society?

Yeah... We know what you're going to say.

"You Cops are just so mean and mad for no reason! Stop wishing it was 1960 again and get over it! Why can't you guys be friendlier and more approachable?"

A little underdeveloped North Shore shitass who never had any of the cares and concerns of real men, is mayor by virtue of his promise to *take it to those Cops because it's their fault this wonderful city is $1B in the red*

People cheered and threw confetti...

The Policeman viewed this through eyes hardened by years of seeing the sad, horrible and tragic shit humans do to each other.

The Policeman also made a mental note.

The Police Are The Enemy Now.

And since The Police are the enemy, Mr. Citizen?

You and yours are apparently ready, willing and able to embrace that which is scampering over the walls. Correct?

This town is intentionally destroyed beyond all hope and care.

The Policeman didn't break it and it's way beyond his ability to repair.

Heh... You're surrounded, Mr. Citizen. Come and get in the fight or be found under your bed in women's clothing and scalped anyways...

All the politicians will be miles away counting your treasure and ours as theirs...

You people honestly believe Policemen are pissed "for no good reason?"

Apologies for the "novel" SCC...

Just trying to distill some of the things in the collective soul of Chicago Police-y type people.

Williams was not a merit hack. His lieutenant spot was NOT merit. He did not just take up space in a squad car.
I worked with him on cases where his life was literally on the line and to this day only a handful of people know what he undertook and what he accomplished. Without fanfare, without honors and without recognition, he stepped into it and he stepped up.

I'm no fan of whiners, but a lot of people don't know that if you are using your personal car to perform any part of your job, your insurance does NOT cover you. That means if you're in the D unit, and you go to the Area to find the cars are at the satellite office, and while driving there you get in an accident, it's up to the city to cover you.

It's ridiculous that the city expects off-duty coppers to race to HBT incidents unless they have been assured, in writing, that the city will assume liability.

There might be some sort of rider the SWAT guys have to get, but if there is something like that, but I've never heard of it.

I agree with the SWAT dude. They should be given take home cars. I. Wouldn't show up in my personal vehicle in the middle of savage country to do police work. Why shouldn't they have take home cars? Maybe their chain of command should take their heads out of their asses and get things done for them.
