Steady Numbers

A typical May weekend:
  • Five people have been killed and at least 14 others wounded — including a 12-year-old boy left in critical condition — in shootings around the city since Friday night.
  • About 9:15 p.m. Saturday, a shooter or shooters opened fire at a group of people at Ryan Harris Memorial Park in the 6800 block of South Lowe in the Englewood neighborhood. Shaneda Lawrence, 30, of the 9600 block of South Peoria, was shot in the head and pronounced dead at 12:46 a.m. at Stroger Hospital. A woman in her 20s was shot in the wrist, and a 24-year-old man was shot in the back.
A park named for a 1998 victim of a brutal crime is itself the scene of a triple shooting. IF that just doesn't define the misery and hopelessness of Englewood, we don't know what does.

Yeah, and put PO's on foot patrol there, so they can also be shot in the head. The Wood is lost and the Democrat's continue to allow the social experiment.

Solution. Cut off the LINK, WIC, and Section 8. At that time everyone whould be too busy working to be out at midnight whooping it up.

Turns out that Shaneda Lawrence is a cousin of Ryan Harris.

Initial reports are that the shooting was random.

Tragic.

Chicago. Welcome to the jungle.

Its sad to think Englewood was once a nice place to live. Then came the great migration and blockbusting in the 60s which is the real reason why Englewood is what it is today. Sad.

Oh boy. 13 homicides last week now puts 2013 solidly ahead of 2011 - 123 vs 115. Plus a number of those shot in the past week were listed in "grave" condition.

The Tiny Dancer and McGunControl surge seems to be losing steam.

How much money has been spent in overtime, etc... ?

From the Chi Park Dist website re: Ryan Harris Memorial Park

Description" ~~snip~~ "Ryan Harris Memorial Park is an idyllic location for families to spend a portion of their day relaxing and enjoying the outdoors and nature. This park contains a playground with swings, slides, along with climbing apparatus. With an open green space, park patrons that visit this park participate in baseball, softball and picnics."

Well golly gee-whiz! That Park sounds *almost* as nice as Disney World! At the least, it's on par with Branson Missouri as far as 'Family Entertainment' goes. Not to mention a whole lot more exciting, or if you wish, just; 'being one with nature'. It even sounds better than that 'Maggie Daley Memorial Park & Daley Family Homage Gift Shop' place near the lake shore.

Heck, Ryan Harris Memorial Park sounds sooooooo good I think I'll take the entire family there (ten of us) for the Memorial Day weekend! I'm sure I can find a nice Motel in the neighborhood.

/sarcasm OFF ;-)

Y-E-A-H R-I-G-H-T!!! They can't cut it off. Link money comes from USDA. Big time farmers and grocery stores will not be happy if the government cut programs that provide them revenue. Stop thinking its about helping the poor. They need poor people to justify keeping the programs alive. If you don't see the big contracts, private donations, and social service academic programs at UIC and University of Chicago behind these programs...well look for it. Giving poor people stuff is an industry too. Just like any other industry you need to show why you need to expand your mission and funding etc. There are some real hardworking and struggling people that need these benefits. We were on food stamps before my dad became a cop and while my mom did her social work in Lawndale (with a college degree). The problem is there are many more people who don't deserve it that they welcome into the program to justify keeping the ball rolling. Ironically, the people who really should get it get screwed a lot more as well.

Off topic.... Gang enforcement is finished. They will have the option to become part of a new citywide tru/msf like unit or be sent back to a district. Gmac is going to sell this as not another citywide unit but as an already citywide unit who has a changed mission with higher visibility(uniform) and a more focused and proactive approach to certain areas in the city. This way gmac can stick to his original story of more bodies in patrol and no more ultra aggressive units don't need to be made... It's the "same unit just a changed look and new mission to be more effective with the cities needs". All units will be consolidated to start at homan square in what is now the gang enforcement office. Kevin ryan(former commander of tru will still be the boss. Allegedly this was his plan and McCarthy liked it. Huge objections from Leo Schmitz since gang enforcement was his baby with JFed. One thing that wasn't brought up though was when its going to happed. I can't see them doing mid summer so it's either going to be soon or after summer. Fact or fiction ??? Usually I dontnbelieve this type of stuff but I heard it from a pretty straight guy who works in admin in organized crime so it sounds very legit to me

Hmmm, wasn't there a topic last month about some type of unit possibly being formed and was still in the planning phase? Maybe this is the concept they came up with.. I have not heard the specific gang enforcement rumor but who knows... Sounds very possible
