Why Is It....?

A reader noticed this:
  • How come McNumbers can claim weather has nothing to do with the homicide totals, then turn around and tell everyone that an extremely mild March set the pace for a spike in Chicago murders that we never recovered from?
 Everyone knows the answer to that one:
  • Trayvon Martin
Duh.

And remember:
  • The power of the freedom of the press is a flaming sword. That it may be a servant of all the people, use it justly—hold it high—and guard it well.
Unless Rahm says don't publish it - then hold the sword somewhere behind your back and pretend no one sees anything going on. Swords are pointy and might hurt some politicians' feelings.

I don't know exctly what co-pay you are writing about but the City can do whatever they want with insurance since back in 1980 no one bothered to get it in our first contract. Therefore health insurance is not a contractual right. It is at the City's whim.

Wait for Obama-Care to kick in.

Read your packet. It has everything to do with Obamacare. Short of it: wellness covered 100%, lab contracted with city 100%, any other visits have co-pay for each visit instead of having to meet a deductible, and visit to specialist has co-pay instead of having to meet a deductible.

That is no Morale booster for us, especially when we have to try and protect them too in the process, but oh I forget, he is exerting his power.

My predictions:
1. murder will be on pace with 2012 and then turn down slightly. We will end the year with less than 500 homicides. (Why? Weather will be normal for winter and spring with little snow but cold temperatures.)
2. other crimes will increase. (Why? District and area consolidations. Our districts are too big - we should have 28 districts, not 22; same for the areas, and there's not enough of dicks.)
3. clearances will tank (Why? See above: not enough dicks, too large detective areas and...too few E.T.s.)
4. McCarthy will stay (Why? He's the perfect scapegoat for Rahm.)

The city can claim that they didn't raise the payroll deduction for medical coverage, yet they squeeze us for ever more.
P.s. The co-pay does not count toward your out of pocket $1500 expense. Also, you MUST now try generic drug first, or pay full cost. After trying it, your doctor can order coverage for the brand name, but more forms to fill out

OT: The population in the USA was 311 million at the end of 2011. Assuming that there will always be a certain number of "wack jobs" out there, here is a distubing thought: if you use a conservative number of 2% (meaning that 98% of the population is "normal"), then 6 million people are liable to snap at any time.
Now take that same premise for Chicago. A population of 3 million people @ 2% = 60,000 people.

1% is 30,000 people. This is a scary, and probably, a very realistic number.

If you add the number of gang bangers, the disenfranchised, mentally ill and those that are just beyond pissed off, I'm sure that we're above that or very close.

How many sworn do we have?

This is all hypothetical, but HOLY CRAP!

A huge thanks to all the LEO's out there for all you do.

I'll break it down in Gary's and Rahms bullshit terminology. It's a decrease in the increase of the decrease(whatever the fuck that means) and it's "crime is down" when it is truly up. In better terms it is Bullshit talk to make you citizens believe everything is fine when in actuality the city is being destroyed.

The usual big crowds (from the rich parts of Chicago, suburbs, out of town tourists and tourists from out of the country) would show up into the 1st and 18th districts. But this year there were not many of those fine citizens. Rather a bunch of promoters held parties and as usual fights, drunken fights, car crashes, and drama would break out. This city truly has gone to shit. I mean if the 1st and 18th districts have gone to the dogs then what does it mean for our city? Only time will tell if we will see a reversal of fortune or if we are headed the way of Detroit, Cleveland, Michigan, Ohio, etc....

URGENT: Illinois Anti-Gun Legislators That YOU Voted Out of Office to Use Their Last Remaining Days in Legislature Exploiting Lame Duck Session and Holiday Break To Impose a Draconian Gun Ban

The NRA-ILA has just learned that anti-gun legislators backed by Governor Quinn are deceptively trying to sneak through a new draconian gun ban as early as Wednesday while the legislature convenes for the Lame Duck Session from January 2 to 9. You voted many of these anti-gun legislators out of office, and now, in their last days as law makers, they want to quietly trample on the rights of all law-abiding gun owners in Illinois. It is imperative that you contact your state legislators IMMEDIATELY and continue to do so over the next few days. The Lame Duck Session will end on January 9, so this bill will be moving at lightning speed through both the House and Senate, with very little time to spare. Your phone call or email will play an important role in halting this assault on your Second Amendment rights.

The NRA-ILA will continue to send updates on this matter as details become available to us. However, it is of the utmost importance that you act NOW to stop this gun ban and registration scheme. Call and email IMMEDIATELY and let your voice be heard on this matter.

To reach the main line for the Illinois General Assembly, please call 217.782.2000.

As far as I can make it out, when you run 0110 in victim search for the year, the totals come out to 605 records. Of these 605, approx. 90 - 95 come off the total because they are muliple shooting victims with same RD# as homicide victim.
As far as I know, when a report comes back from the morgue, an 041A victim is re-classified as a 0110 victim. You can call it a Death Investigation, but when the ME's states it's a murder, oh well.
The numbers will continue to come in after the New Year. Probably around end of January. I didn't notice the arson victim on the list, so I think it will go up.
