Any Reporter Reading....

  • Facing criticism from parents worried about their children traveling through dangerous neighborhoods to new schools, Mayor Rahm Emanuel staked out a get-tough stance Wednesday proposing stiffer penalties for gun crimes near schools.

    Whether the threat of fines and jail time for carrying guns near schools or designated school routes will cause gang members to reflect on whether they should carry weapons in those areas is unclear, however. In addition, state laws already allow prosecutors to push for considerably more time behind bars than called for under Emanuel's plan for people who break gun laws near schools.

  • The ordinance, which was introduced at the City Council meeting, would raise penalties for certain gun offenses near schools to $1,000 to $5,000 and 30 days in jail for a first offense, $5,000 to $15,000 and 90 days to six months in jail for a second offense, and $10,000 to $20,000 and at least six months in jail for a third offense.
Can anyone, police, court worker, reporter, whomever, tell us if they have ever seen one of these fines levied against any gangbanger convicted any gun crime? For the most part, they end up with public defenders, so they have no money to speak of - how is this doubling of fines never levied going to deter anything?

Isn't carrying a gun on the public way (as of this moment) a felony punishable by a minimum of 1 year in prison?

So let's get this straight.

Like "within 1000 feet of a school or place of worship" ordinance.

So if a kid gets picked up by a school bus across the street from my house, or walks to school at the end of my block there is some new restriction.

It is “unclear” if this will make the criminals think twice? It is unclear to who I wonder? It might be unclear to an irrational liberal but to the rest of us it is very clear that “gun free school zones” are murder zones where criminals can operate without fear of opposition.

This kind of stupid could only originate in the mind of a liberal.

We all know that Dude has NEVER given a fuck about any fee, fine or legal sanction.

Dude & Co. will be banging guns, knocking cars, rolling dice with their dicks hanging out and in general doing the muthafuckin' fool with ALL the impunity bestowed on them by Daley Inc., Rahm & Co., the alderthieves, rev'runs and local news media.

They all say "FUCK YOU!" if you have to swing your feet over the side of your bed and drag your half dead ass to work for 20 to 40 or more years.

These same sad and sorry bastards line up elbow to asshole to say "DOUBLE FUCK YOU!" if you have to swing your feet over the side of your bed and drag your doubly half dead ass to work for 20 to 40 or more years and you wear a Blue Suit of clothes with a piece of tin pinned to your shirt that reads "CHICAGO POLICE."

Dude isn't going to lose any sleep and is in no real peril over Rahm working his jaws and stomping his size 5's in mock outrage like he's REALLY going to exert any effort to address the REAL problems affecting this city.

Heh... Political Cowardice reigns supreme in Chicago.

Now if Rahm were to take it to Dude & Co. as hard as he's taking it to his Police Department, then there might be the universal raised eye-brow of "WTF?"

After which Dude & Co. will promptly tear the thin skin off Rahm's narrow ass.

You see... The reality is that Dude is governed by no law and no rule of conduct other than "Gimme yo' shit, you little punk-ass bitch!"

>Sound of somebody getting back-hand bitch slapped in their muthafuckin' eye<

Dude would joyously FUCK this city up and Rahm knows it... Which is why he keeps the anti-Police propaganda hotted-up with controlled leaks and document dumps of years old, already adjudicated Police Board hearings.

However... You can be assured that this badly crafted ordinance will be used crucify some law abiding poor slob who has the misfortune to justifiably extinguish some straight democratic voting goblin ("'Cause dey said vote dis way so we get our free shit bitch!") out of fear for his very life.

Rahm will personally drag said poor slob up the gnarled, knotty pine and hammer the nails himself...

No money to speak of? I guess you are correct in a way. No reportable income so they don't speak of the illegal dope money they make when filling out the declaration of income form required before getting a court appointed public defender. Never mind the fact that they have 5000 dollar stereo systems, 2-10,000 dollars worth of rims, several pairs of 200 dollar gym shoes. Yup, no income to speak of.

This is a joke. Safety School Zones don't work because the Cook County Asa's and Judges don't care about the enhancement. They almost always drop it, thus - this is a joke. Just another way Rahm trying to look like a saint or to the fool the sheep that he's doing everything possible to combat the out of control crime in Chiraq.

Current "safe zones" cover 95% of the City, and don't have any effect on gun crimes, so why would anyone believe that doubling up on "safe zones" will work better. Just more political smoke and mirrors to befuddle exasperated citizens of Chicago.

Also, isn't Rham laying off some CPS security officers and hiring people off the street to create these safe zones.
I wonder who gets the:
a:screen these people
b: supervise them
and of course, do they have any chain of command other than the local drug dealer?

"Box Chevy Phantom, you need some yoga to chill out man. No body gives a shit anymore."

So...

You've already made your peace with giving up, assuming a subservient posture and letting "smart people" like Rahm and his ilk run the table?

You aren't very much of an observer of human nature (and in particular, the insecure, inferiority complex riddled, over-compensating, power mad shit-ass of the species who is hell bent on punishing the rest of everybody else for his rotten, fucked-up childhood) nor are you a student of history which is replete with these same types of individuals gaining a foothold on power and the aftermath of such.

IF you were... You would be singing a very different tune.

Rahm would love it if everyone would just sit down and shut up.

Especially those big, dumb, high school drop out, brutal, out of control, too independent minded, military veteran, old time Boy Scoutin', blue collar traditionalist Cops who are all pissed off because it isn't 1960 anymore...

For the sake of clarification, you're on board with that train of thought aren't you?

You're a good one... You're incapable of being justifiably angry when people like Rahm piss on the back of your pants because you're using his favorite urinal when a whole room full of the damn things are available?

Rahm WILL be checked and checked real hard eventually... No matter how he bluffs, bullies and blusters so don't you worry about a thing.

He always has to have a buffer between himself and whatever fuckery and bullshit he's on...

He WILL get caught without a buffer and he won't be able to just walk away without giving an accounting for what he's done.

This "great experiment" in fuckery will be resolved one way or another.

you're so soft that your head squeeks when somebody squeezes it.
