Uptown Safe Passage Route Very Unsafe

Reminding you once again what a great deal you folks are getting voting straight democratic for the past few decades:
  • Five people were shot, one fatally, this evening in the Uptown neighborhood along a Safe Passage route outside a church that was holding a prayer service at the time, officials said.

    The shooting happened at 5:57 p.m. on the 4500 block of North Sheridan Road, police said.

    Police said a white, four-door car pulled up in front of the Uptown Baptist Church at Wilson Avenue and Sheridan Road. Someone from inside the car opened fire at a group of people standing in front of the church, killing one of them and wounding four others, police said.
Even the churches aren't safe.

Safe Passage route? Shootings right by those POD cameras?

Aaawww, BULLSHIT!

Wait, wasn't there another shooting/homicide about 2 weeks ago on a Safe Passage route? and right by a POD camera?

What the fuck is this City coming to? All of those MILLIONS of YOUR tax dollars are supposed to be PROTECTING US!

That's because a lot of the churches are just fronts for gang bangers to hide behind the First Amendment and continue to conduct their illicit business. Eventually, they will draw fire.

Funny watching the channel 7 news tonight. Reporter seemed shocked that a shooting could happen near a sign stating "Safe Passage Zone". I guess the reporter expected the sign to have magical powers that repelled all guns.

There's a whole enclave of tender, unprepared people for you to sharpen your teeth on!

Heh... Tiny probably runs from the Tahoe to his front door to avoid having anything to do with his neighbors anyway...

You know... That Police presence is strictly for his benefit.

Didn't the old 019 and old 023 have over 350 coppers EACH once upon a time?

What's the combined manpower now?

About maybe 250 to 275?

Rahm's neighbors ought to line up and boo his ass every time he pops out of his hidey-hole...

No Police because Rahm figures he has no need to justify himself to you North Side tax payers...

What's the world coming to if we can't enjoy a lawless, amoral, shameless, Sodom and Gomorrah party district without fear of getting accosted by ruffians who want to do more than just tear us a new one?

I was just under the EL tracks this weekend doing a hips and lips threeway with a couple of meth zombies when one of those thugs came up and started kicking me in the belly. I thought it was getting interesting when tore my chaps off and started urinating on me BUT then the hoodlum took my iPhone and poppers out of my clutch and just ran away. I was all ready to let him skull me but the bastard just left.

That shit is WRONG!

Naturally, I was verklempt but when a ran into Halsted street and found a police car the CPD homophobes told me to put some pants on.
Well, I will not be ignored. Especially by some jackbooted hater whose salary I pay.

I went back into the Cell Block and found my alderman in the VIP room and demanded something be done about this. Tommy told me he had hoped for more when we got a greek police commander but OBVIOUSLY our RIGHTS are being trampled again.

I swore to Tommy that if I get cursed out by one more hard bodied nubian warrior when I offer to toss him I am going to stage a 21st century Stonewall Riot right here in BoysTown.

Safe Passage? This propaganda in lieu of hiring more police officers to actually make the passages safe is going to seriously bite the city in the ass. Those signs are concrete evidence of the failing of a city. There is no way to put a positive spin on a dead body laying underneath a sign designating an area deemed safe for children. I'm willing to bet these signs come down before Halloween.

Safe passage? What is this, the darkest of Africa?

"Safe passage" invokes a picture of having 20 men carrying my luggage and suitcases as I walk down the street with a khaki bush jacket on and several clips of .30-06 for my rifle as well as my side-arm holstered to shoot elephants or rhinos. (a .44 Magnum of course).

Now where is my machete to cut down the bush?

I guess this is the only way to come downtown now - armed to the teeth - because you have to drive through too many bad neighborhoods.

Safe passage - do you know how juvenile that sounds??? Really.

Next we'll be seeing Mantan on TV commercials giving directions for the safest routes.

They sell pepper spray for joggers that is in a wrist band. I recommend buying 2, one for each wrist. Doesn't do you any good to have to hunt for it in your pocket or your purse when you need it IMMEDIATELY. Good luck out there with the wolves.

Don't the gangbangers who ignore the murder statute have the common decency to obey the posted SAFE PASSAGE routes when they shoot and kill. To quote our delusional mayor, "Take it to the alley!".

Perhaps the legislature in Springfield should enhance the murder statute with more severe penalties when the murders occur on a SAFE PASSAGE route.

That's the ticket. Right, Rahm?

This is a violent city, but gun violence can be stopped by:
Banning firearms on the public way;
issuing Foid cards to weed out those who should not have firearms; confiscating revoked Foid cards; background checks for private sales; mandatory reporting of lost, stolen, or misplaced guns; installing cameras all over the place; prohibiting so-called assault weapons; making lots of gun free zones. Guess I'll go for a walk on the West Side without my peace maker.

Maybe, just maybe, this "safe passage" bullshit will be the first thing that some of these blind, liberal idiots can finally see through as a stunt. Maybe then they can work backwards into seeing a lot more of the propaganda for what it is. Then again, some people choose to remain ignorant.....it's easier for them.

It's cheaper and cost effective for the city to

train, and deploy police
officers to serve and protect. We'll just use signs and cameras and the cameras add an additional
benefit of generating revenue through fines.
The mayor is proving time after time that he don't

Bad shooting in 019 dist. yesterday in uptown. But no worries for Rahm - he's still got 2 squad cars sitting outside his house babysitting him and his family, and I believe he's on vacation now so I guess they are guarding his empty house and watching his grass grow. Funny how everyone else has to settle for paying ADT alarm services 40 bucks/month to watch their house, but a millionaire like Rahm doesn't have to pay for anything. He just steals manpower from the police department, which he continues to neglect and undermine. Funny, some years back I was house hunting and my realtor showed me a condo in uptown just down the street from this shooting about 930 W. Wilson. Even during the day the area looked like crap, but the realtor fed me the usual line "it's up and coming". Nevertheless, there was no way in hell I was gonna pay $325K for a condo on the corner of rape/murder, no matter how much stainless steel and granite they draped it in. Guess the area never quite "came up". Still, I'm amazed to see how the taxpayers of this city can stomach the all bs they are fed by this clown and his cronies, as they allow crime to infest areas where the property tax is outrageous. What the hell are all those taxes paying for??

Three black teens stalk and kill white college kid "for fun"





The boys were not in a car when Lane, a 22-year-old Australian from Oak Park in Melbourne, jogged past them, Ford said. Once they selected him as a victim, they followed him and allegedly shot him in the back with a small calibre handgun.

Lane, studying at East Central University on a baseball scholarship, had left the home of his American girlfriend, Sarah Harper, for a jog in the leafy, upscale neighbourhood when he was allegedly spotted by the boys, who did not know him.

Lane stumbled across the road and stunned onlookers rushed to help. One woman performed CPR while another called 911 emergency services.

on having pepper spray handy for personal protection when out on these mean streets, even though 'crime is down?'

Any precautions, tips you'd instruct?

Buy two of the same, one to test behind your garage so the females know what to expect, one to carry. Most ladies buy them and have never fired pepper spray. They have no idea how far it shoots, how wind might effect it, what color it is for identification the criminal, how difficult it is to press, etc.

I let my wife and female cousins fire some off behind the garage. The stuff goes pretty far. We got blasted with it in the Academy and it was lights out for me. But be forewarned, it might take a minute to really be effective. If it's life and death, it's better than nothing, but a small ruger .380 lcp might be better

Safe passage? What is this, the darkest of Africa?

"Safe passage" invokes a picture of having 20 men carrying my luggage and suitcases as I walk down the street with a khaki bush jacket on and several clips of .30-06 for my rifle as well as my side-arm holstered to shoot elephants or rhinos. (a .44 Magnum of course).

Now where is my machete to cut down the bush?

I guess this is the only way to come downtown now - armed to the teeth - because you have to drive through too many bad neighborhoods.

Safe passage - do you know how juvenile that sounds??? Really.

Next we'll be seeing Mantan on TV commercials giving directions for the safest routes.

It sounds just as juvenile as 'Nuclear Free Zone', 'Gun Free Zone', 'No Cruising Zone'.
Signs don't MAKE things happen. Parents, responsible upbringing, morals, manners, consideration, self-control... those are the things that make things happen.
And an adequate number of police.

To the sergeant exam sign-up person: sounds like you're in the wrong place and you're trying to sign IN, rather than sign UP.

Not ripping on you; it's an easy thing to screw up.

Its basically stealing when the south and west sides are full of patrol cars but downtown and the north side are virtually unprotected. This shooting is the end result.

Its theft of services from taxpayers but the reverunds will scream racism if they don't get their way.

35th st has left 019 with no manpower. It's time to start filling 019 with young bodies. Don't open up bid spots all you will get is retirees. 019 needs young blood.

8/20/2013 01:31:00 AM


There are many there who were young blood when they got to 019. with the phone call. They never went anywhere else and never learned how to do anything and consequently don't do anything still.

There are some of the worst officers I ever saw in that district. Pity the citizens who always gets those do nothings whose best quality is telling them what they must do themselves because they only know how to blow shit off.

No kidding, the worst policemen in the city are there.

so vitial to our risk and

Pepper spray is fine, just don't be too slow to use it. And don't use it to threaten, if you pull it out, spray quickly right in the face and then run.

They call this the "Wild West" - they call it a "war". Why do they flatter these creatures with such terms? War and the Wild West required brave, skilled men - the creatures doing this are stupid - they are cowards.

Isn't everywhere a safe passage route? Can't a kid walk to school by any route? Pretty soon it will be an enhancement to a charge because a future doctor will get plugged on a safe passage route. Just like every under 18 shooting victim is a CPS student, even though most likely he dropped out last year.

Gimme a fucking break.

Why don't parents walk their kids to school anymore? Like those on aid don't have doing else to do with their time.

Parents? PARENTS? What the fuck planet do you live on Jocko? Where parentS exist, no safe passage is needed. The kids get up, the parentS make sure they get to school safely, the kids attend class, then go to practice for some extracurricular activity, then go home. The only way you will get the parent, or Grandma in the safe passage areas to walk the kids to school is if you line the route with forties and packs of Newports. OR give them a reflective vest, 15 bucks an hour and a corner to stand on.

That was funny. Parents walk the kids to school. You funny.

Rahm's slap in the face to the law abiding citizens of this once great city is shameful. While children are being slaughtered, he puts up signs declaring "safe passage"? And where are the extra police to ensure that these so- called "safe passages" are really safe? While the citizens in 016 are being shot at, most of the coppers from the NW side are on the south and west sides of town, where they are not only unneeded, but unwelcome. What a fucking clown. Rome burns while Nero fiddles.

Citizen here. So with this Safe Passage route, is this only during school hours and if someone shoots somebody in one of these safe passages, is there extra punishment for the crime?

8/20/2013 06:37:00 PM

Yeah; instead of a time-out, it'll be a time-out AND no dessert.

You're talking to me?

Is it safe?

Is it safe?

I don't know what you mean. I can't tell you something's safe or not, unless I know specifically what you're talking about.

Is it safe?

Tell me what the "it" refers to.

Is it safe?

Yes, it's safe, it's very safe, it's so safe you wouldn't believe it.

Is it safe?

No. It's not safe, it's... very dangerous, be careful.
