The Story Changes

  • Chicago police Superintendent Garry McCarthy said Monday that the father of a 6-month-old girl slain last week on the South Side was not changing his daughter's diaper when she was fatally shot, contrary to what police told the news media on the day of the shooting.

    Speaking at an unrelated news conference, McCarthy said Jonathan Watkins, the father who was wounded in the gunfire in the Woodlawn neighborhood, is cooperating with investigators but could be more helpful.

    "At this point, we think there's a lot more that he can help us with, but he is, in fact, cooperating with the investigation," McCarthy told reporters at a Southwest Side police station. "We think that there's more that he can tell us."
Golly. Who'd have thunk it? Someone did mention to Garry that this would be "snitching," right?

This is odd though:
  • McCarthy said the baby was shot once, not multiple times as published in some reports. The bullet, though, injured several organs. She died the next morning. Her father suffered wounds to his buttock and left side and was released from Northwestern Memorial Hospital on Thursday.
Only shot once? But the family listed five distinct wounds suffered by the child. And while we've all seen multiple entry-exit wounds from a single bullet, the listed wounds make conspiracy theories look possible:
  • His young daughter was hit five times: in the thigh, shoulder, lung, liver and bowels, the family later said.
And you thought the JFK/Governor Connally "magic bullet" theory was far fetched? It looks completely plausible in light of this "shot once" statement. So the questions must be, why even mention this as it weakens the State's case and why is there an effort to rehab the image of an unmitigated and unrepentant asshole who dealt dope with his child in his lap and most likely used her as a shield? And why is the media slurping it up?

An internal investigation of the FOP counsel, paid for by the membership, ought to be general knowledge, right? The lawsuit posted cited an investigation undertaken by by Asher, Gittler and D'Alba. Shouldn't the membership have access to that report that Shields & Co is trying so hard to conceal from the plaintiff? After all, we pay everyone's salary and any attached investigations. We don't want our labor organization held liable, do we? If our union officials are assisting in the coverup, we're going to get tagged hard if the plaintiff wins. If it can be proved that Geiger was acting outside his role of lawyer and instead acting as a predator, it would behoove us to fire him as soon as possible.

It makes a good drama when printed on 144 point type on the front page...and then retracted on page 36 in 4 point type in the middle of some ad's.

End result.

Everyone remembers the first story and even if people see or hear the second one chances are you will not overcome the first impression.

The BIG question?

Who. Else. Was in the car. With. Ol' Boy?

Who first put the "changing diaper" angle out there for public consumption?

Did the baby even have a diaper on when Police and EMS arrived?

Did a willing confederate abscond with the diaper in question because there was "damning evidence" in it?

A "real" FATHER would tell what he knows... Dude is trying to be slick by giving the "redacted version" of what happened.

Second opinion is same as the first... He's on some bullshit.

You wide-eyed civilians have no idea how these mutts involve and indoctrinate their children into the dope game.

This shit... Is THEIR normal.

Fuck the family...

We grieve for the child...

In addition to now saying the baby was only hit once, Channel 9 News tonight also changed the part of the story about Baby Daddy standing outside the van changing a shitty diaper. Now, it seems, that he had the child on his lap during the incident. Uh huh, sure. Doing what exactly? Playing Patty Cake?

It gets even better....

The reporter was quick to allude that CPD is somehow responsible. I forget which asshole was reporting from the funeral home, but she mentioned something about a squad car (paraphrasing) "that should've been on the street when the shooting occurred, but was only a block or two over so they still got to the scene somewhat quickly. However the gunman had already fled the scene in a waiting car".

Then they also retracted the story about Baby Mama being shot while carrying the child. Can anyone confirm if this is fact or prove the original story as legitimate? It shouldn't be too hard for you media bust outs to do a little legwork and find a police report documenting a person shot and what hospital / physician treated the victim. FOIA that and report back with your findings, Channel 9.

This whole swing from the originally reported facts stinks to high Heaven. Sure, recollected memories become clearer and more facts and clues are mined after the dust settles, but there is no conceivable reason to have such a drastic change in story...UNLESS THE ORIGINAL STORY WAS TOTAL BULLSHIT and the powers that be wanted to minimize or hide something.

The only problem? Why is the CPD, at the direction of McLiar, covering for this piece of shit family? Baby Daddy is a multi-convicted felon, gang banger who has been less than totally cooperative and truthful with investigators. Anyone with half a brain knows that normal people don't hang out with their infants in a van, in a shithole neighborhood, in freezing temps. And any cop with half a brain knows what really was the probable chain of events that led to this latest ghetto tragedy.

Perhaps this dead infant is being molded to be the Democratic party's coup de grace in garnering support for gun control? But only the real story doesn't quite fit the script, so the City Hall Spin Doctors treat it to Chicago-style embellishments and feed it to the media.

Don't ever expect the media to report the truth behind events such as these. Events that seem to be commonplace - and almost acceptable - for certain cultures. After the theatrical wailing and flip-flopping like fish out of water, after the forced tears and mean-mugging for the news cameras, and after all the promises by the community to finally address the gang and drug problems devastating their neighborhoods and "do something about all these killings in the black community", they will return to doing nothing different.

And saddest yet, people like Rev'run Cory Brooks and Suntimes columnist Mary Mitchell will continue to sell out their own race, choosing to place blame anywhere but where it truly belongs.

From a citizen troll: Crap. Now I feel like a JO because I believed that this asshole was innocently changing the diaper in the van. I mean I know he was a piece of shit and he was shot for a good reason in the mind of some street genious. Now I do not believe a word he said. He was out gangbanging with the kid, used the kid to deflect five bullets that belonged to him and frankly, I have been further desensitized to the murder and mayhem in the streets caused by 50 years of liberal social policies, corrupt politicians and special interest groups. Keep it real, I won't get fooled again. Thanks for the reality check coppers. You should have heard the people at the insurance factory, mostly women who were just shocked that these innocent people were VICTIMS of crime.

Way to tell it! Very well thought out and written. There is way more to this story and CPD and the media are covering it up for some reason. I want to hear McCarthy give a press conference where he says the father has been charged with being responsible for his child's death and whatever applicable charges apply for interfering with the investigation. CPDs reputation Continues to take a nose dive because of shit like this. God, I hate this city and department.

CPD News Affairs were the ones who reported that the father was changing the baby's diaper and the baby was shot five times.

McCarthy stated he did not know why this misinformation was reported. Well Garry, it was because you disseminated the misinformation.

This is a big deal and you will see a dramatic change in headlines over the next few months.

Chicago reporters have had it with McCarthy's lies and spins. All of them have been fucked over by him and they are now all out to get him. Ask any of them when you see them out and about.

McCarthy is a dead man walking and his demise has nothing to do with crime. These reporters are going to burn his ass because he has repeatedly lied to them.

Anonymous Anonymous said...

Single bullet is possible, means the human shield theory is out the window. Mom shot while expecting baby was never confirmed, not sure who put that out except somebody on this blog. Changing the diaper story sounds like dad changing his story, not the police. The reporters can only report what they learn from doing their interviews, and the police and the family have had bad information -- because dad gave them bad information, and because the number of bullet wounds probably wasn't immediately clear. (What does the ME say?)

It adds up to no human shield, but an uncooperative dad (it is upsetting to see the reporters report that he is "now cooperating" when in the same breath, they are saying he isn't telling all he knows) who has priorities other than catching the killers of his baby because he probably knows exactly who they are.

He's getting a pass and he shouldn't. The changed story about the diaper change ought to be a big signal that this guy is deeply involved in the pathology of this homicide. Not unlike Susan Smith or that guy in Boston who shot his wife and blamed it on a black guy. There is more than meets the eye and all the detectives likely have to work with is his account and the physical evidence. Plus the interference from Rev. Brooks, who should back far, far away from this guy.

Dr. Mark Slidell stated below the baby had bullet "wounds" to her right shoulder, left groin, and left lower portion to her abdomen:
Watkins was shot in his left side and right buttock and rushed to Northwestern Memorial Hospital in serious to critical condition, officials said. Jonylah had bullet wounds to her right shoulder, left groin and left lower portion of her abdomen, said Dr. Mark Slidell, a pediatric surgeon at Comer Children's Hospital, where Jonylah was taken.

"Truth behind" nothing. It is the truth standing right out in front yelling for the whole world to see -- but we are supposed to go our whole lives with our heads turned to one side like we don't see it.

There was one of these deals in New Orleans, great photo, babydaddy was never anywhere in the child's life -- but as soon as the child was shot, there he was in an expensive suit and wraparound shades, releasing white doves into the sky. The guy did not have two brain cells to rub together. Who put him up to that elaborate stunt for the cameras? He himself has almost certainly been killed by now.

Now it is all over our radio and TV again, church packed to capacity again for standard babyfuneral again, all these mouths open as far as they will go with speeches of pretend "outrage."

Again.

FACE IT -- THE "COMMUNITY" GETS OFF ON THIS STUFF.

They like all the loud music and yelling and singing and clapping and stomping and the big cookin that everyone lugs in, those huge foil trays to comfort us in the never-ending "grief" and "misery" that we work so hard to perpetuate.

It is really no different than a wedding or Christmas or election rally or anything else. All the RIP shirts, murals, photos, etc. are just another thing in everyday life, like remembering to buy plastic wrap.

If I am wrong here, why are those blue sawhorses out blocking the street for this show every day?

Who the hell could possibly take any of this seriously anymore? We are supposed to have a new Federal law every week named after someone like "Shavoonda" or "Deathray?"

It's a matter of racial solidarity on a very basic, primordial level.

There.

One hundred million pounds of baled-up Chicago newspapers on their way to the recycler, and one hundred thousand million hours of Chicago radio and TV waves scattering out towards other galaxies -- and not an atom of that simple, observable, everyday truth in the lot.

The people in locales like North Lawndale don't necessarily have a patent on this thinking, either -- although it is numerically more prevalent and more destructive in such places.

People in Newtown, Connecticut are currently flagellating themselves before the TV cameras in a great pretense of "self-searching" in which they are actually frantic to place the blame for their tragedy on anyone, anywhere other than their own affluent community -- anywhere but in their own disturbed and dangerous but similarly protected and coddled and encouraged children and their own irresponsible behavior as parents.

The whole flower-painted and rubber-padded and professionally-administered-at-enormous-salaries town with the very best schools, the very best sparkling-clean everything in the whole wide world, "award-winning" from forests to faculty to faucets, as they never stop telling us -- hell, rubbing our noses in their utterly stupefying wonderfulness -- and the whole vast apparatus could not put the brakes on ONE Adam Lanza before it was too late.

...so someone do something about those other people over there, so we don't have to confront our failure.

"Quickly, quickly," we cry -- before anyone has time to think!

Before people get bored with us, before the all-important TV turns its gaze somewhere else!

200 times a month in a Chicago, and once every 200 years in a Newtown -- but each maladapted group in its way perpetuating its problems rather than solving them.

...and it would not be fair to omit from our observations that sempiternal everywhere-but-nowhere Third Party, the Man Behind The Curtain who profits so vastly from the production and sales of these "KILL THEM ALL" video games that do so much to set the national tone...

"...a new story had to be broadcast concerning the shooting so the neighborhood doesnt go up for grabs in a major way?"

The neighborhood has been "up for grabs in a major way" probably since 1964.

That is why the baby got shot in the first place.

"Fox News, national, not 32, just ran a piece on Chicago trying something "new" by hiring Ceasefire to attempt to curb Chicago violence. And showed McLiar explaining that it is hard to determine if it works."

You gotta be...

That cab has about 850,000 miles on it, bottomed-out springs and Bondoed medallion holes in the hood from New York City and now it's rolling here.

Are they actually pushing CeaseFire out of the garage as a New Strategy now?

That would indicate crisis beyond crisis beyond crisis. Rahm is going to go into Spontaneous Human Combustion any minute.

Has any city ever had to put its mayor on suicide watch?

I'm serious. Although most of that screaming is just an act, there is something about the guy that makes you think that his "limit" could be reached more easily than most.

Probably modern pharmaceuticals are taking up the slack in more people than we realize. Someone is taking all that stuff -- so much of it that it's showing up in the drinking water.

I am personally astonished that Michelle Obama lasted the first four years. I was expecting a Kitty Dukakis-type midnight ambulance run any minute. I guess it shows you how far we have come in "community-based treatment," keep them superficially "functional" and in the office, etc.

Anyway, I am looking at the latest waycool babyfuneral, the baby pictures looping over and over on the giant video screens in the "church" and the very corporate "NB New Beginnings" logos all over the walls where the TV cameras can't miss them -- this "Reverend" Corey Brooks sure has got "production values," although he is suffering from the common and fatal misconception that a disintegrating society and a collapsing economy can support an infinite number of grant-seeking organisms such as himself.

CeaseFire will fix this. Right.

So what did Dr. Gary Slutkin do with that million dollars the City Of Chicago gave him?

- Epoch Of The Grant Seekers Plods Onward -

Standard-issue artist's conception showing on TV -- North Lawndale to get new $33 million "social services campus," "Neighborhood Initiatives For Youth Transformation Through Neighborhood Initiatives," some nonsense like that.

Expect a plethora of handsomely-paid "social service administrators" and "directors" and "coordinators" and "facilitators" and "managers" to oversee the grudging, pro forma dispensation of baby aspirin to genuinely dangerous "youths" -- the ones with both eyes on the same side of their nose as in a Picasso painting.

Western civilization cannot possibly survive this sort of thing -- and that seems to be the whole idea.

UP-TO-THE-MINUTE RIDICULOUS, UNBELIEVABLE "BULLETIN" --

Get this --

Babydaddy "is expected to make a public plea for help in solving the case within the next few days."

*

Boy, the entire world is riveted here. I can't eat or sleep, myself.

"Pastor" "Reverend" Corey Brooks-Nothing is the center of the electronic universe right now, coming out of all channels, on all radio frequencies, waving a dead six-month-old in the air for attention.

This is as it should be, no?

God, the media whores in this town -- a bucket brigade swinging endless pails of mere crap, originated by various and sundry corporations and pressure groups. Heard a story today that they are starting to worry about their financial futures as "journalists."

They could all could just pull the blinds and retreat into complete cloud-based mutual self-reference, never putting an actual camera truck on the street ever again, and there would still be ten thousand more times the graphic, self-produced video coverage -- film by the perpetrators themselves -- of assaults, rapes, beatdowns, lewd public behavior, etc. on YouTube than we ever see on TV anyway.

One man on this web log who styles himself "I Fart In Your General Direction" puts more simple, everyday truth into one quick paragraph than do many looking-over-their-shoulder "reporters" do in an entire agonizing career.

What does that leave?

How many new exercise machines and clever little restaurants and rich people's hand-woven-in-Guatemala "green" houses that cost five times what a normal one does and "self-reinventing" blatant cronies and craven syncophants promoting books like, "How To Promote A Book" are going to be palmed off on us as "news?"

The media elites themselves are sensing a limited future for this sort of thing -- a growing discomfort in the region of their "virtual wallets" -- seeing as how they are the very sort of spineless, characterless follow-on individuals who fell all over themselves repeating the meaningless "sequestration," and are now obediently parroting the characterization of outright government theft of bank accounts as a "tax."

They are not all going to be able to pull off adroit lateral-moves-with-pay-increase from dead-tree newspapers and dead-antenna broadcast work into an already-saturated Internet, either. There will only be so much room on the upcoming 49-cent thin plastic wristsmarteverything -- to be as common and inconsequential and disposable as a hospital name band -- that is only a few years away, and their very unremarkable positions are as likely to be "outsourced" to penny-per-word boiler-room fact-hackers in Hyderabad as first went any tangible, physical factory production, followed quickly by the subsequent emotion-based
"customer service" industry of this country.

Anything but. The skill set you encounter is more like beating the kid's brains out on Thursday night, then be pacing back and forth like a tiger, waiting for babymama until she wanders home on Tuesday morning.

The rest of the world could fly out to San Diego to see Aunt Wilma for a couple of days, side trip for some shopping, and come back, and this wild-ass, lethal problem over nothing would typically still not be resolved.

It's too weird.

The guy already sat up on the roof for weeks like a freaking bat until the building was torn down, then pretended to walk across the whole United States. The trick box is getting empty.

What would you do if you had expensive tastes, an absolutely enormous self-image, and no marketable skills?

Besides trying to wriggle into some convicted criminal's vacant seat in Congress, I mean. There are like fifteen people trying frantically every time one of these spots opens up where you can get "appointed."

Kind of limited career paths, maybe don't sign up for the "Rev" course -- there is some "College" on TV that shows these classes you can take, you end up sitting in front of an actual computer in an actual cubicle telling actual people how to do.

In the outside shots, there is grafitti on the door of the building. How many thousands they spent for some "video producer" to turn out this commercial...I'm still laughing.

No shit! From the revolver, Call Box and carbon paper police.

One of the problem solving exercises we had when I was in the the Academy was to write instructions about, "How to change a baby's diaper".

I remember the line I had,

yes, let's all focus on the facts of the event.

all of the facts, not just the obvious fact of the bloody murder of an infant.

because bemoaning the inherent vulnerability of being an infant, brought to a place, at a time, for a purpose, by a specific person, has no relevant bearing on determining who committed this criminal act of felonious homicide.

let's all just focus on the horrifying tragedy of the death of an infant.

let's all just bemoan the undeniable reality of the fragile nature of our present existence.

let's all just dwell on not seeking to hold accountable those who committed this heinous act of, not merely wanton disregard for the life of an infant, but, intentional and willful desire to murder someone other than the infant, who was brought to the place, at the time, for a purpose, by a specific person.

let's just not think about anything but the tragedy of a murdered child.


that's the ticket.

Now it's only one bullet? Why the lies?
Dr. Mark Slidell stated below the baby had bullet "wounds" to her right shoulder, left groin, and left lower portion to her abdomen:
Watkins was shot in his left side and right buttock and rushed to Northwestern Memorial Hospital in serious to critical condition, officials said. Jonylah had bullet wounds to her right shoulder, left groin and left lower portion of her abdomen, said Dr. Mark Slidell, a pediatric surgeon at Comer Children's Hospital, where Jonylah was taken.
