This is "Reporting"

The Tribune must be really stretching to fill their pages:
  • South Side rapper Chief Keef was arrested near Atlanta this week for disorderly conduct after hotel security smelled marijuana smoke coming from his room, police said.

    The disorderly conduct arrest comes two months after he was released from custody in Chicago for a probation violation.
So is this another violation? And seriously, who cares?
  • An afternoon test drive of a Dodge Charger turned into a joyride Monday when a teenager from Humboldt Park sped off in the car, with a reluctant dealership employee riding shot-gun.

    Kendall Jackson, 18, of the 4800 block of West Superior Street, was charged with posession of a stolen vehicle, unlawful restraint of a person, and driving without a license after he visited the World Discount Auto, Inc. dealership on North Cicero Avenue on Monday afternoon.

    Jackson drove the car far past the boundaries of the dealership during the test, according to the police report, while a 31-year-old dealership employee in the passenger's seat pled with him to turn the car around.
And this 18-year-old with no license (and probably an entry level job or less) was allowed to test drive a piece of equipment costing tens of thousands of dollars why exactly? The car dealer/salesman ought to face charges of Felony Stupidity. This happens all the time, yet no one seems to learn.
  • When Chicago police officers observed a car double-parked on the 1400 block of North Keeler Avenue in Humboldt Park Thursday, they decided to talk to the driver.

    But the driver, Francisco Cruz, of Belmont Gardens, couldn't speak, the police report said. He mumbled something when officers asked for his drivers license, which he did not have, but they couldn't understand him. And when officers asked him if he had something in his mouth, his response was still too garbled to understand.

    "Spit it out," officers said to Cruz, 41, according to the report, shining a flashlight into his mouth. Instead, he allegedly lunged at the officers, flailing his arms in an attempt to flee. Unable to escape, he pulled three plastic bags from his mouth and uttered his first words since the police arrived.
Again, this happens on a daily basis, but the Tribune deems it newsworthy for some reason. All of this ought to be on a crime blotter somewhere, not taking up pages while Rahm drives this city into the ground and helps connected people steal everything that isn't nailed down.

I just love when these dope buyers put the bags in their mouth. Remember that lots of dealers hide these same baggies in their buttocks.

Here's something that the Trib may want to print .... on numerous occasions over my career I have conducted narcotics surveillances. On many of these surveillances I have witnessed numerous drug sales , where a baggies is removed from individual #1's ass and said bag is then placed in individual #2's mouth. True story. But in the grand scheme of things ... who gives a fuck it's not news worthy. All of these media outlets leave me with a bad taste in mouth. No pun intended.

No, it would be racist if he did not give the test drive

What is with all this North Michigan Ave "wilding" and then they show the police funnelling most of them down into the subways? Thats great! Send them to another part of the city while riding and harassing the CTA riders! Why doesn't the "investigating" reporters ask that question? All bow before King Rahm!

When you aren't reporting the shootings, the wildings and the shortage of police, you have to fill the pages with something.

And those words were, "I'm an idiot!"

Speaking of "This is Reporting"...

Have you notices in the last few weeks since a certain High School on the north side refused to go to another High School on the South Side's Roseland Community, crime has "slowed down" in Roseland?

However...
Crime has went nuts in "West Pullman"!

Gee, I guess "West Pullman" is the new euphemism for "Roseland".

How does the axiom go, " the
inmates are running the asylum ". Remember back in the day when mom or grandma
wanted to fix a chicken for
dinner she would go out into the yard and grab one by it's head, twirl it around and then pop it's body and the then headless
body would flop around until it died ? Chicago is
comparable to that headless
body. No organization from
the top.

Beautiful! If the dealership was stupid enough to let him drive without providing a D/L too bad.

Hey, i live in 019 and the community fishwrap used to at least include in its pages a"police blotter" which would keep those of us that gave a 1/2 shit informed as to what was going on and who was doing it. Around sept or oct, shortly after Comd. Voulgaris took the helm, the "blotter" column disappeared and was replaced this BS "society" column full BS blurbs about all the Rham's liberal asswipe pals and their activities. When a couple of inquiries were made, it was explained that the blotters' writers credentials had "expired", but that they would be renewed shortly and the reporter would once again have access to community shitbag activity and be up and running again in a coupla weeks. That was MONTHS ago and we are still stuck with this blabby old hosebag liberal mouthpiece prattling on about what a great bunch shitcagos ruling class is. Can anyone find out why the blotter reporter was muzzled?

Well, we can't have the local media reporting that CRIME actually HAPPENED in Rahm's neighborhood, now can we?
Look to the publisher of that fishwrap paper, not at the so-called credentials of some writer. You don't need press credentials to walk in and use the CAPS-approved computer at the district desk. That's the source for the 'crime blotter' material.

okay,i sent off a inquiry to the "fishwrap" as to what happened to the police blotter and their version has it that too many people wanted access to the CAPS terminal that everybody was booted off access to it and are being told to file an FIOA to get the stats and that the impression is that CPD is skittish as a result of ghetto lottery lawsuits against the dept. so who's fibbing?
