Crime is Down! Still! We Swear!
- Three men were killed in shootings in Chicago since Friday afternoon, including a passenger in a car on the Dan Ryan Expressway.
Gun violence wounded at least 13 other people across the city, and a South Chicago woman was stabbed to death; her daughter charged in the case.
A Humboldt Park man was killed and another person injured after they were shot while driving on the Dan Ryan Expressway on the Lower West Side about 2 a.m., Sunday.
The shooting happened in the northbound lanes of the Dan Ryan Expressway (I-90/94) between the 18th Street and Canal Street exits, an Illinois State Police District Chicago trooper said.
Someone keep this one in mind - make sure it appears on the "homicide tracker" statistics and doesn't get lost in the shuffle - the Illinois State Police are handling it since it happened on the Dan Ryan, but the entire highway is within Chicago. It's one of those ones the McCompStat would dish off in a moment.

"...Dan Ryan Expressway on the Lower West Side..."
I was born here. "Lower West Side" is a first.
How many new "neighborhoods" will we have by next week?
Coming here soon! It's been 12 months since austr5alia confiscated it's citizens guns: The results are in:
Homicides are up 6.2 percent
Assaults are up 9.6 percent
Armed Robbery up 44% (Apparently the robbers kept their guns!
In Victoria State homicides are up 300%
All violent crimes are up dramatically since disarm ing the citizens.

Chalkie was a little hung over, and had to come back!
Doesn't count as Chicago homicide. ISP handling murder. Fyi
Actually, that portion of the expressway is elevated above Chicago, therefore, that homicide should not be counted. Would we count a homicide in an airplane 35000 feet above Chicago as happening in Chicago? No, we would not! Same reasoning.
I am ready for my promotion now sir.
the situation gmac is still a little geeked up because he found a strap under the seat of dude's hoopety ride on new years eve--- now he's the real police, just ask him....
I thought IDOT was investigating the one on the Ryan.

Now, kees me you fool!!!!

We count them on City owned bridges! Also, the city/county have no problem taxing us for every floor of every skyscraper! If it happens within city limits, it belongs to McNumbNuts.
BTW, The ISP were with CPD at NATO, but McGlory didn't even mention them when he was accepting his praise. He only gives them the homicides in Chicago because it is better for him!
By my count there have been 12 murders in the first 6 days of
2013. That is an average of 2 per day so far. Extrapolated for the entire year could lead to around 730 murders for 2013. Well GMAC, how are your strategies working now? COMSTAT, gang audits, consolidation, restructuring of the watches, dissolved citywide units, low manpower, poor morale, and your east coast attitude have done wonders for the Second City. Thanks.

Lottery winner's death was blamed on natural causes — until a relative raised questions.
***
Urooj Khan had sworn off playing the lottery after he took an Islamic pilgrimage to the Middle East in 2010, but as he stood in a 7-Eleven near his home on Chicago's Far North Side this summer, he lost his will for a moment, handing over $60 to buy two instant-game tickets.
After scratching off the second ticket, he leaped in the air, shouting over and over again, "I hit a million!"
When Khan, 46, accepted an oversized check from Illinois Lottery representatives days later at the same store with his wife and teenage daughter at his side, he spoke excitedly of how the winnings would help him grow his dry-cleaning business.
Instead, Khan is dead, a victim of an extraordinary poisoning, and police have a mystery on their hands: Did his lottery winnings create a motive for murder?
***
{...}...Now authorities are considering exhuming his body to try to find out how much cyanide he ingested or inhaled, Cina disclosed...
***
According to an internal police department document obtained by the Tribune, Khan came home from work to his West Rogers Park residence on the night he died. He ate dinner about an hour later and eventually went to bed. He was later heard screaming and was taken to St. Francis Hospital in Evanston, where he was pronounced dead, the document said.

CRIME IS DOWN. Natural causes. It's only natural that if you win a million in the Illinois lottery that you die a few days later.
Natural causes.
So now we have to go back and add another homicide to the 2012 count I guess.
Homicides are down I say we only have approx 10 so far, just a little over a week ago we had over 500 GMAC
Another increase in he decrease! Will Gary be gone soon? Hope and change! Just now on wls John kass is talking about a congressman proposing to drop term limits for president! Barry Obama forever?
WTF is the "lower west side?"
Hey Florida firearm violence is down and gun permits are up!

Warm-up is on the way! ghetto boys ammo up! Be careful out there this week it could hit 50's. Crime will never be down in this city ,thanks to daley ,rham,aldercreatures.Also quinn , madigan,durban and on and on all democraps.
a homicide a day almost or 2 what a way to start the year and we will like to thank all the savages on the southside for their contribution!!!
Who gives a solid pile of steaming shit how many crimes are committed! I'm going back to school on the city dime while I still can. Then they can have it all. let this state burn and all the liberals in it. If this state's law makers see nothing wrong with taking retierment benefits from the "TAX PAYING" people of this state and not expect anything to happen to theirs, or take from the one who contibute nothing to the tax base then this truly is a socialist state. I'm so fucking tired of listening all these assholes talk about taking care of illegal citizens. THERE IS HONESTLY NO REASON FOR ANYONE TO DO RIGHT BY THE LAW!
It does not appear that the failure from east is going anywhere. Even with the high body count he is continuing to do the work of emanuel in destroying the department from within as emanuel is continuing to destroy other unions. Streets and Sans going to the grid system, the teachers union losing their jobs to privatized schools that do a poorer job of educating than what the piss poor public schools actually do.
Is K town now the upper West Side? Canaryville the new Flatbush? Don't mess with "historic" Bronzeville !!Condos now available near McKinley Park - with a view of the Park !! Writing this as I price out a lower South Loop Loft condo with Beach access just 7300 south of the Mag Mile. Ghettolicious.

Yeah, it's a neighborhood down by the Hudson River neighborhood, across from homes in the Upper Heart Of Chicago community, next to the South Polka Dot Line neighborhood community homes thing.
I asked an "activist" in a ball hat and silly T-shirt, and he insists that it's so.

This is so funny. You can work these people like anything.
Use *** exactly once, and they're right on it.
"Will someone please get the FBI of [sic] DOJ in here!"
AOK, PDQ, ASAP!
I think that's police talk too.
Sure glad the gun laws here do absolutely nothing but increase crime.
Chicago has its own "SoHo" neighborhood....centered around
Madison and Pulaski cause that is how you greet your female .( Or South of Homas Square?) If NYC can have a Central Park West we can have a Washington Park West (formerly known as Viz or the Boulevard) anscestral home of Ed Burke.

"...an Illinois State Police District Chicago trooper said..."
Wouldn't that be "Chicago District," or has this too been Canadianized?
"Transit Chicago" = da bus, da L.
Oh -- the whole no-geographic-reference "Pink Line, Blue Line" thing is a lowest-common-denominator copy of Los Angeles. The idea was to enable people who speak no English to be able to travel around the city following a simple stripe of one color.
Typically, Chicago f__ed it up. There are blue platform edges on the Red Line, etc.
!Ay, caramba!
Hey whatever happen to that Goldstein guy that was supposed to run the unit that predicted where the shootings were going to occur, hey I think he is gone, and I must admit that MCCarthy is a smoothie in front of the cameras ,but his heroism from the NATO FLING is just about over, a rumour from the rumour mill was that McCarthy and Rahmie had a private meeting last night and that the BIG MAC DADDY was suposedto have a 1 hour meeting with every commander starting yesterday but all of these have been cancelled. These 2 characters just can't seem to get it that thier plan failed, just plain out BOMBED, now get back to CHICAGO STYLE policing and bring back some boys and girls to fight crime, not cruise in beat cars and waste time, I would guarantee that things would get better, notcompletely gone, but alot better, If you are not a bleiever just give it a chance before you 2 clowns get coppers hurt or maybe worse. May God protect us all. Stay Safe.
