Closing on 50 Shootings
Eight days into the new year and we stand at just under 50 shootings (including the 5 tonight).
We've also counted an even dozen homicides.
That's a 200% increase over the same time frame last year. We aren't ones to cherry-pick the numbers from a specific time frame in order to show the political administration in a bad light.....oh wait, that's exactly what they were doing all of 2012 to make CompStat look efficient. Goose, gander, you know the rest.
But as someone in the comment section said:
- Homicides are down I say we only have approx 10 so far, just a little over a week ago we had over 500 GMAC
That's comedy gold right there.

What's the over/under on how long before mcloss is gone?
Oh I know, I know.
Shootings in Humboldt Park, Washington Park, Marquette Park, Morgan Park..can only mean one thing....
The mayors million dollar expansion of "Circus In The Park" has already started...WOO-HOO!
Actually the numbers are low. We averaged about 8.5 people shot per day in 2012. 50 people shot at this point sounds a little low.
Chicago needs to start taxing these doctors and EMS techs for the number of people whose lives are not saved from these GSW.
It's the Chicago way,
These new taxes will provide the much needed revenue for the clouted no-bid city contractors. I mean if it creates just one more clouted contract, just one..than isn't it worth it?
That ain't shit.
Just wait till they try to take away the 2nd amendment.
Chalkie needs a theme song!!!
Chalkie is being overworked. He needs an able bodied assistant.
I'm surprised Rahm and McFailure aren't pushing for a ban on Chalkie!
but over all crime is down......
hey i have a bridge to sell you over on north ave by the home depot
Is the 'Taste' moving north to Uptown next summer?

OVER 50 SHOOTINGS?
How can that be? Chicago/Illinois have the toughest gun laws in the country, we don’t have a conceal carry in Illinois. Are all these shootings happening indoors? I glad that MY lawmakers are trying to fix this and make even stronger gun laws in Illinois, God bless them. Additionally, we should stop having elections in Illinois because we already have the ‘best of the best’. We could never do any better then who we already have in office.
(youtube) State Rep. Elaine Nekritz (D - Northbrook) tells a statehouse audience on 1-6-13 that there will be no assault weapons ban taken up during the closing days of the legislative session.
The people that you hear cheering at the end are mostly members of the Decatur Midwest Patriot Militia..
Nathan Moyer a member of the Decatur Midwest Patriot Militia had this to say after...(youtube)
Maybe we should send them support with a note of thanks for helping us standup for our rights??
The next session is only days off so you can bet this will resurface. However a win is a win. Keep those email boxes and voice mails to the state reps coming.
Dear SCC,
I know you are a lot smarter than I am and smarter than our bosses. Could you keep a count of how many people are shot week to week, then month to month, and the homicides? It would be real interesting to see what you have at the end of the year opposed to what the city call a death inv. or justifiable homie-cides. A homicide is a homicide.
Just a little favor I ask of you to see what you have at the end and what the city claims. You know its gonna be a rough and tough year.
Thanks
Unhappy 2nd watch loser.
Seriously, how can the hospitals handle all of these shootings night after night after night? How many get admitted and how many get a band-aid? The hospitals are the ones who should be screaming for McCentralCasting to be booted!
Notice there were no weekly news appearances by McDodo saying crime/murders/shootings are down! I wonder if it's possible to find out how many shooting victims there were in Afghanistan or Iraq last year as opposed to Chicago. I'm talking shooting victims, not homicides. Weren't there something like a couple thousand 'people' with extra holes in them last year in this city? Would be interesting.
Umm-hmmm
From the Illinois Times - 9-1-1 call.

Listen to the 9-1-1- call - Tied up at the moment
Cuffed priest granted leave
By Bruce Rushton
The pastor of St. Aloysius church on Springfield’s north end has been granted a leave of absence after he called 911 from the rectory and told a dispatcher that he needed help getting out of handcuffs.
“I’m going to need help getting out before this becomes a medical emergency,” Father Tom Donovan told a dispatcher who sounds a bit incredulous during the Nov. 28 call.
“You’re stuck in a pair of handcuffs?” the dispatcher asks.
“(I was) playing with them and I need help getting out,” Donovan responds.
Donovan told the dispatcher that he was alone in the rectory. It’s not clear exactly how he ended up in handcuffs or why he feared a medical emergency. His voice sounds garbled or muffled on the tape, and sources say that police discovered some sort of gag on the priest when they arrived.
The diocese has been tight-lipped about the matter, saying only that Bishop Thomas Paprocki granted Donovan’s request for a leave of absence at some point before Christmas. The diocese knows about the incident, given that Brad Huff, an attorney for the diocese, has been given a copy of the 911 tape by the Sangamon County Emergency Telephone System Department. Kathie Sass, spokeswoman for the Diocese of Springfield, said that the diocese also has a copy of a police report on the matter.
Sass would not disclose Donovan’s whereabouts or say whether he is staying at a church-affiliated location...more
McCarthy made a bold and scary prediction that citizens carrying legally could be shot by Chicago police as he reiterated his stance against arming legal citizens.
“You put more guns on the street expect more shootings,” McCarthy said. “I don’t care if they’re licensed legal firearms, people who are not highly trained… putting guns in their hands is a recipe for disaster. So I’ll train our officers that there is a concealed carry law, but when somebody turns with a firearm in their hand the officer does not have an obligation to wait to get shot to return fire and we’re going to have tragedies as a result of that. I’m telling you right up front.”

The five number from last night turns into eight by 6 am this morning.
All Rahm and Gary have to say is we need to ban a weapon that's not even involved -- just to show that we did something.
Now in CompStat and city-wide we count shootings and homicides per 100,000 people. This is complete chaos. Never before have I seen such number fudging as with these 3 Clowns. The Supt., Chief of Staff, and Chief of CompStat.
If they were all so loved and cherished why did NYPD let them leave. Why did the Mayor and Commissioner not offer them a higher title and more money?
They have destroyed the police department, specialized teams/units, moral, staffing, and each other.
Remember they will not be in charge forever and these other bosses need to stop worrying about loosing their Gold Stars and stop drinking the CompStat Koolaid because it is not working!
What about the "BROKEN WINDOW THEORY"???????????????????????
well the chalkie-meter over at CrimeInChicago is at 25 dead.
Redeye 's chalkie-meter has 25 also
like a typical "beat" cop at CPD
Chalkie don't get no "furlough" and seems to working "full throttle" and in "high gear"
Huge command shuffle coming this Friday. Comes from an unimpeachable source at 35th Street. Some real surprises here. Big Mac wants to get hold of the shootings right away.

"hey i have a bridge to sell you over on north ave by the home depot"
That's a nice bridge. How much?
Crime is down so low we will soon be into the negatives.
But there is a decrease in the increase if you compare the first week of 2013 to the first week of 2009.
You can update it...one killed and eight wounded. Warm week ahead. Stay safe out there.
good thing we got in car cameras and gps. that sure helps reduce crime. watching you!
Gee, where do those guns all come from? Burglaries mostly.

Just because 49 of 50 other states have concealed carry laws and they have fewer shootings and fewer murders than Illinois doesn't make them right. Illinois needs strict gun control laws and we will continue to be right no matter how many murders we have because, well, uh, uh, well just because, that is all. Rahm says crime is down no matter what the actual count is, dammit. We are right, gt it? No one else is. Just Illinois. That is why we have the worst financial situation of all 50 states and more murders, because we are right and they are not. Got it?
but over all crime is down......
hey i have a bridge to sell you over on north ave by the home depot You would NOT buy that bridge if you seen whats underneath it
Does this mean there is an increase in the increase?
It's an increase over the decrease. Right GMAC?
CAPS is back bitches!
What do the ass kissers like Patterson and Wysinger do when McCarthy gets shit canned.
These jags will dump Comstat and say they were never behind it. They never liked McCarthy and had our backs the whole time.
We didn't mean to be beat-off bosses you guys. We only did it to save our careers. We're stand up guys. We did it for you. We protected you guys from McCarthy. You should have heard what he really wanted to do.
I can't wait to hear the bullshit from these two. And others.
Really shows what a guy is made of doesn't it?
Week warming up, be careful back each other up, please from a veteran copper no more"I will let you know if I need help" from a 1 man unit? You never know when the animals may attack! Wait for back up always! If he animals kill each other no loss, the hospitals are on major bypass due to the flu strain, hope when the animal gets shot it results in death,because in the long run "you save more money in the ghetto" when this happens!

Is the 'Taste' moving north to Uptown next summer?
------
Holy Shit.. It's Happening!!!
Word is "Uptown" is going to be one day the "hottest" area in the city.
Rahm and Obama are behind purchasing property in the area and perhaps not in our lifetime, but one day it will be built up like 018.
Always follow the money with these scamming bastards!!
Chalkie needs a theme song!!!
Queen: Another One Bites The Dust
Or, The Fat Albert Theme with Different Chalkie Lyrics.
"Hey hey hey, its your pal Chalkie"
OT--Can someone please explain to me, (without any smartass comments), on our paychecks, what "Police Insurance" ($30), and "Imputed Life Insurance" ($69) are? I swear I've cancelled any additional 'insurance' numerous times. My mind isn't what it used to be!
Also, "Health Ins" ($1,162.80)? That's in addition to Medicare ($1,458.74)?
Thanks.
Since guns seem to be the problem here (as stated by our wise politicians) why don't we start prosecuting the weapon itself?
It's at least as absurd as banning them.
MCstupid says that we had over 500 murders last year and only 12 in 2013 so we have fewer in 2013 than in 2012 because he is pretty certain that 12 is a lot less than 500, but he is going to run the numbers past the scientist Carothers who he "kicked upstairs" just to make sure that the analytics match up properly. Also, he says thanks for all your hard work and dont expect to take any time off this year, or to be fully compensated with a pension if retiring. And go Irish! That is all Mcstupid said.
Warmer weather coming! McBozo heading under the covers with one of jfled's cats!
bring back C.A.P.S and turn to celebrates to end the no snitch no tell policy. lets not hire the couple T H O U S A N D officers we are short now. that make too much sense.
Please put the Taste in Uptown.
I will have material for months afterwards.
I sense a trend that's glaringly obvious to everyone not named Rahmbo or McFailure!
And now reporters are in a gang war!

No changes mcballess will do nothing to weak scared!
Shifting 50 CAPS officers to district! More bullshit. Let's see the transfer order...it doesn't exist because the officers are already there!
Also, 'Patterson replaces Ron Holt, the police officer father of Blair Holt, a 16-year-old gunned down in 2007 by a reputed gang member who opened fire on a CTA bus crowded with students on their way home from Julian High School. Ron Holt will shift his focus to victims assistance.
So now Ron Holt is going to help victims at a commanders salary!

This idiot really has no clue as to what facts are. Maybe he should do a little homework and find out what happened in the other states. But I do hope there is a minimum training required for anyone who wants to CCW. There are a lot of good citizens who are too stupid to carry a weapon. Rahm would be one example. Remember...if CCW does some day get approved...You are NOT the police. No cowboys allowed .
16 homicides last year at this time
13 this year
45 shootings this year
31 last year

"Special recognition will also be given to police, fire and union personnel throughout the festival."
OUT OF THEIR FUCKING MINDS. Anyone not detailed to this run as far as you can in the other direction.

I am offended at the thought of a Maggie Daley park.
I am offended at Rahm Emanuel's continual obscene waste of taxpayer money.
But, 55 million is not going into a vacant lot.
$55 million is being spent to repair the existing Millenium Park, the garage roof/park over the garage, and to repair the incompetent and incomplete work done on that existing park space prior to its opening.
