Weekend Totals
- Four people were killed and dozens wounded in a spate of shootings during a muggy first weekend of summer.
Friday, the longest day of the year, was the deadliest, with three killed and at least 11 wounded in 10 separate shooting incidents throughout the city. Saturday saw at least six shootings, including one fatality. Ten people were wounded in at least eight shootings Sunday morning.
Those killed include a 31-year-old man who was recently freed after more than a year in jail and a 21-year-old man who had been in the country for only a few months.
But as heyjackass.com points out, the powers-that-be will hang their hats on this:
- At this point, 7am Sunday, EMS has had a slower weekend than last.
Last weekend: 3 dead, 32 wounded
This weekend: 5 dead, 22 wounded
Last Sunday was the money shot and with 80s and sun today, it'll be a foot race to the finish.
Less ambulance runs must mean crime is down!

Funny how the only time we have seen the Supt on TV addressing anything was to say they were going to bring the skydivers from last week to justice.
Who cares. It happens every year and it going to happen every other year
"Last Sunday was the money shot..."
Chicago - The John Holmes of Aggravated Battery With A Firearm.
What the fuck...over
I didn't see anything in the MSM about the multiple stabbing mob action on Belmont. Anyone see the guy walking around with a chunk taken out of his shoulder like nothing happened?
If they aren't reporting mob attacks at the Belmont L where civilians were stabbing in the face with bottles who the hell in the media isn't in the 9 fingered Napoleon's little pocket? Things are getting worse each year.
The BIG story over the weekend is that OakBrook had a shooting crime right in the Mall.
They have had problems (robberies in the Parking lot) there before but a lot has been hushed up.
You can't really hide a shooting in broad daylight so to the "it can never happen here crowd" this was a BIG eye-opener.
Let's get those concealed carry guns out and about. You need one to go shopping whether on North Michigan or OakBrook.
Next case.
In case you guys didn't know the age to get hired dropped to 21. Also if you are a CPS graduate you get the same preference as military vets. http://www.chicagopolice.org/answerthecall/faqs.html
It looks as if "dozens" turned out to be 30. As in 7 dead and 30 wounded. Last weekend was 11 dead & 42 wounded.
Success! Crime is down!!
Strange that there were no reported shootings on Sunday from 6:30a-9:30p given the weather. Maybe weather doesn't have anything to do with it.

Parachute control now!
Where's is that legendary Chief of Detectives Maria "Senora Sherlock" Maher when we so desperately need her inspired "leadership"?
"Last Sunday was the money shot..."
Heh...
Twinkle-Toes and McWhiskeyShits getting a real "eye opener" at the pleasure of the savages is amusing.
Even Ray Charles, (R.I.P) dead and blind as he may be, can see that these two clowns are "all wet" in spite all their bullshit and ballyhoo about their so called strategies are finally "taking hold."
As Grand-Daddy used to say, "Ya see, there go that bullshit I told you kids about."

Are we working with google numbers that are so vast as to escape comprehension? Just tell us the exact number of people shot, killed whatever as of blank, blank time.
Like the other day on the radio the announcer says during a sweep, over a dozen guns were seized. Really? The number is not firmed up enough? Was it thirteen, fourteen. If you found half a gun..that's really not a gun.
OT-My soldier son in Afghanistan just received directives that state: the term insurgents will no longer be used but will be replaced with Enemies of Afghanistan. AND unless there are soldiers wounded or killed or great property damage they are not to register any bombings or weapon fire as an event of any kind. Sounds like Chicago news coverage.
The best our leaders could come up with about the shootings is that there were 2 less shooting than in the same time of 2012....hey don't worry crime is still down! unbeleivable!
Off Topic, but crazy

off topic again, sorry....just want to thank the officers from 008 dist. for getting rid of the pain in the ass windshield washer at 55th pulaski. i asked in this blog about a week ago if 008 officers could please do something about that problem and i must say that i have'nt seen the mutt at all this week....thanks 008 officers, i dont know what you guys did to get rid of him, but it sure looks like good old fashion police work to me..lets all get back to taking care of our own, the way it's supposed to be......thanks again....retired cpd.
OT But, I'm sitting in juvie court on a case today, and there's a kid up there for a serious offense against a legit victim. As he's standing up there in front of judge Marianne Jackson, it was brought to the judge's attention that the juvenile in question went to the victim/witness room and harassed the victim on his case while we were all sitting in court. The judge's response? "That's the least of my concern". So you know when you occasionally get legit victims that are afraid to prosecute, and we tell them it will be ok and they will be safe? I guess that doesn't apply in judge Marianne Jackson's courtroom.
Final weekend total is seven dead and 30 wounded?
Meanwhile in Rockford IL....
Mayor drops out of Bloomberg’s anti-gun coalition, says ‘focus should not be against law-abiding citizens’
An independent Illinois mayor is leaving New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s anti-gun coalition because he said the group strayed from its original mission and became too focused on pushing for an assault-weapons ban.
“I’ve dropped out of a group called Mayors Against Illegal Guns (MAIG),” Rockford, Illinois mayor Larry Morrissey said at a Rockford Tea Party town hall Saturday as the crowd burst into applause. “The reason why I joined the group in the first place is because I took the name for what it said. Against ‘Illegal’ guns.”
“The challenge that we see day in and day out in the city of Rockford is not dealing primarily with assault weapons or machine guns, automatic weapons. It’s dealing with a typical handgun. All of those typical weapons are usually in the hands of people who are prohibited from having them,” Morrissey said.
“As the original mission swayed, that’s when I decided that it was no longer in line with my beliefs. …So that’s why I dropped out,” Morrissey explained. “The focus should not be against law-abiding citizens. We should be focusing our enforcement on folks who have no right to carry a gun, concealed or otherwise.”
Morrissey also said that he supports concealed carry and plans to apply for a permit when the opportunity becomes available to him in Illinois.
“Personally as well, I’ve had three threats that I’ve had to deal with since I got elected,” he said. “None of which turned out to be any major event, but, you know, once you get a death threat and you realize even with the support of the Rockford Police Department, I just know with myself, especially now with a very young family, I don’t want to put my family’s life at risk, I don’t want to put my own life at risk, in a way that I could otherwise prevent. If I can protect myself, I’m going to do it.” ...

32 shot
8 killed
Geat job by SGT P.C. at Belmont and Western. he saved that kids life. Come to midnights sarge!
Shame or Sgt Rameriz (if allegations are true) for shaking down a store. He makes over 110k a year as CPD. If he is "broke" it's him doing.
He will make everyone else look bad. But if allegations are false, then may he have full support!
Last weekend: 3 dead, 32 wounded
This weekend: 5 dead, 22 wounded

CRIME IS DOWN

According to heyjackass.com Englewood has the most murders this year so far. How can that be? They have 3-4 boxes, foot patrols from VRI as well as VRI and a Deputy Chief in charge. I guess the McNutty's plans aren't really that good.

Two goals in 17 seconds to win the Stanley Cup! Unbelievable! What a fantastic finish to a great hockey season! When does hockey training camp begin?
Oh I guess we have to get through all the rioting and looting and arson and stealing and stuff. Oh wait, I must have my rioting mixed up a little.
Great playoffs, great Finals.
Thank you Blackhawks!

Great stuff, and oh so true. Keep them coming.
If GEORGAS keeps his job and doesn't get demoted after this fiasco; this supt has no authority whatsoever
It was a slow day today. Bad storm and the Hawks winning but there were still 5 shot that I'm aware of

In the Cities defense: the CPS students get shot at more.
No comment from the city about how crime is down compared to same time last year.
2012= 1 killed 2013= 6
2012= 2 dozen shot 2013= 3 dozen
Where's the spin?

Am confused by the points thing. On the last test they never received any points, period. After you passed the test and were given a lottery number, then the veterans preference came in. The veterans preference was that 20% of the class would be veterans and that went in lottery number order.
Only makes sense because it was a pass/fail test so points wouldn't be involved. You were only allowed to request the preference points AFTER you were notified about passing the written test and being on the eligibility test.
