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.

Liberals are getting a crash course on "da skreetz". Let them taste it. It's a bit different when the animal walks down your block isn't it?
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.
Did a speed camera catch that speeding bullet?
Won't someone please think of the children?
Liberalism is a mental disease.
Eli,Send in the quality of life cars !
OK... Now If only Dude Inc. would do the similar fool in Rahm's neighborhood.
One mile west and a half mile south, you misguided missiles!
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...
The West and South Sides GET EVERYTHING THEY WANT!
"We gets all y'all Po-Leece cuz y'all been racist an' shit!"
We need the ALPHA GIRLS.....like now, only they with their superior tactical training can save the city...if you're listening Rahm, immediately deploy the ALPHA GIRLS to the hot spots in the city.....
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.
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.
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.
But it happened right under a blue light camera! Please tell me it was all captured on video...
It's a sublime morning in Stone Lake, Wisconsin...
As a professional in law enforcement, what's your opinion
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?
Thanks for all the behind-the-
scenes truth you reveal that's
so vitial to our risk and
'machine' awareness.
Safe passage is going to turn into a blood bath.
Idiots !
Duh!!!
don't you know safe passage zones are merely ambush routes....
don't you watch westerns?
Doctor Roach
I thought I told you guys to take it to the alley.
Rahm
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.
"SAFE PASSAGE ZONE"
More magical thinking by the corrupt morons that are elected by the SHEEPle and parasites of Detroit II. It's "da Chicago Way".
WBBM radio said it was a full-auto rifle used in the shooting. I hear those things are not cheap.
Hey Northside, you want police presence just open a portillo's hotdog stand like the one across from the 8th district up north you will get all the police you can handle?
Heeeey Haw! All Y'all
Why don't parents walk their kids to school anymore? Like those on aid don't have doing else to do with their time.

As a law enforcement professional with two decades of experience and a military combat veteran, I can say that you would be ill advised to bring pepper spray to a gun fight.
Thank you for your support.

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.
open up the bids in 019 ! I along with many others want out. Help.
And the media saying nothing because it's in yuppie ville. Hey Rahm to close to home, and this was not just a handgun but fully auto and tons of people out. WOW Rahm has media in pocket. Tax payers get no police service.I guess this is take from rich and give to poor...
safe passage? makes ya wonder...
when sheep and cattle get funneled down the slaughter chutes, do you think that they feel safe?
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.
I think one of Chicago's biggest problems is that the idiot citizens can't see through the political bullshit. 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.

I worked in both districts and in Uptown since 1969 there were a least 300 in 019 and close to 400 P/O's in 020 when it went to Montrose. Worked 020 when it came back from 023 always was a hot district always had a lot of shooting going on.I loved the area because it was so busy.we had multiple shooting's then also so I guess it's waking up again.02:39am get a gun.
those sign have designated times like rush hour and only when schools is in session and the children are present. Other wise diregard them.
Just think, Sonic has opened into an agreement to put one of their restaurants on property right there.
I can only wonder if Sonic would pull out and take their tater tots and Cherry Limeade with them.
I wonder who at City Hall sold them that bill of goods for that shithole neighborhood.
liberals will never admit it to anyone else, but they know deep down that certain people are savages and that will always be-no matter how much money is thrown at them throught social engineering programs.
There was one article where some dufus moved into Uptown from Wheaton to get the "city experiance" he's getting his city experiance all right. I'd bet he's moving his shit this week back to DuPage County.
It's cheaper and cost effective for the city to
pringt and post "safe passage" signs than to hire,
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
give a rat's ass about running the city government.
He just wants to raise money.
Hey Rahm and Garry---How's the consoladation of 19-23 going?
Can you two stretch resources anymore?
No coverage at all west of Ashland (except for the immediate area of 4200 N Hermitage)
Same with 016--cut more cops there and see what is happening around 4000 N Central.
Fuck both of you.
To the reporter who was amazed that something could happen along a safe passage route (which is going to bite Rahm, Garry and the CPS right in their asses): You think this is Star Trek where there is a protective force field around people? The media and their ass kissing to those in power is 50% of the problem in this town.

How hard is it to figure out ? Quit pissing away money on cameras, signs, fire all the people that are not looking at the cameras that dont work, trim a little fat out of the bloated budget and hire some cops.
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??
I know someone somewhere is regretting they thought of those signs. Safe Passage my ass.
Death Passage! Beware!
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.

But you better not profile!
No worries folks. There is a police camera right there filming everything. The case should be a slam dunk since it was all caught on the police camera, right?
Anyone catch the Chuck Gaudie piece last night on ABC 7? Gotta say that the 019th commander has some balls to take a shot at city hall and 35th street for his manpower shortage. I'm sure they aren't too happy about that comment. The piece really made it sound like city hall is understaffing 019.
Garry and his bullshit that crime is down have to go. Take the other two NY morons with you too. We need a Chicago guy in here who was the real police to fix this mess. Look at Garry's background. A sgt with less then 5 years on the job in NY. Never been the police. He is in way over his head here and basically has to go. Don't go away mad Garry,just go away.
Time to play "Bop a Mole" again and move personnel back to the north side
the 19th district has no manpower. End the detail of every officer detailed out and bring them back. This is ridiculous. Somebody is going to get hurt
Yes. Oh yes. Please fill 019 with young bodies.
I am getting the vapors just thinking about it.
Now, Kees me you fool!!!!
Safe passage only means safer for bad guys...
Because regular citizens are required to remain unarmed citizen victims.
OT Three savages shoot jogger in the back "for fun" in Oklahoma. Australian kid here to play baseball. Media wouldn't disclose/discuss race. This wasn't a struggle for a gun, it was an outright murder. I wonder why they chose this poor kid?

Yes, have it in your pocket, with your hand on it. Fumbling for it when you need it is already too late.
Make sure you buy the type you can ONLY spray AWAY from you. Check the canister spray mechanism before you buy.

Out of concern for the safety of our citizen these churches should be razed to the ground just like that unsafe community center and Meigs Field.
And the idiots on 780 were foaming at the mouth that an "AR-15" was used in the shooting as well as 1 was dead. Nothing like getting the facts before broadcasting

Fuck you! All bid positions should be filled via seniority. We senior officers are smarter.
Also, when crime goes out of control you want the police to go all gung ho right? Then if a "controversy" erupts, you don't support the police right? You can't have it both ways! The powers of the man in blue have been diminished over time.
The 19th district needs more officers! It is one of the most densely populated districts. Now with the merger of 019 & 023 the population doubled, the calls doubled but the number of officers has not.
So let me get this straight. The districts in which a lot of tax payers and decent people live, they get shafted. Districts like 019, 018, 016, 008, 017, etc... While the districts on the south and west sides get an over abundance amount of manpower.
In the end, this is the fault of the citizens. Citizens who are not proactive and not pissed off enough. By the time you do become pissed and angry, it may be too late.
Any/all passages are as safe as the people along the route make it. When the route is lined by savages, do the math...

and you think voting republican will change things? That's what's wrong with this country guys. We keep relying on one party or the other when they (minus a few hot button issues) are the same thing: greedy, corrupt, shitheads that don't care about any of us. The deadly duopoly, the "other" party is never the answer.
When I went to school in the 1980's and early 1990's, we didn't have to have police escorts on the way to school or anything, What has changed?
And they were against CHIK-FIL-A in their neighborhood, because that is not what the city ideas are.
Invest in a rifle, upgrade your pistol, keep ur equipment clean and in good working order. Shitbirds are using full automatic rifles. W
6 oclock at night and not a single tac team on scene...they all went home for the day (even though they werent on the air until well after 1000) or hadnt hit the street yet (although didnt hear a peep from any of them after 0030...\
Hey, Eli...you literally have 8 tac teams in that district...start making them accountable for the mayhem, and make them punch in 8 for 8 like everyone else, saturate belmontt/sheffield with 4, Uptown with the rest and problem solved! No need for day tac in 019... Use what you have, compel them to do their jobs, and stop allowing Lt BS to hide them in the secret office!
Grow a pair, would ya eli!?

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?
Time to rebuild Robert Taylor and Cabrini Green.
So how are those gun shot detection pod cameras working? Bet the only working model was just for the media and that one is now in OEMC's basement somewhere all rusted.

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

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.

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.

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.
Per WGN news tonite the mayor does not respond to "right wing bloggers" regarding this site.
Does anyone know if rahm has a reflection?
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.

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.
Can we get a post for the new design of safe passage sign ? something along the lines of death passage with skull and bones ????? just a suggestion

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.

Is what 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.
You get ignorant, violent, cowardly unqualified people when you vote straight democratic. More and more people are starting to realize most of the crooks holding office need to get voted out, immediately.
Rahm and his ilk deserve something.
