Sex Offenders on Safe Passage

  • The ABC7 I-Team uncovers a hidden danger lurking on school Safe Passage routes: sex offenders. Gangs and bullets aren't the only threats facing Chicago children walking to school along safe passageways. The ABC7 I-Team found numerous safe passage routes mapped out by Chicago school officials that direct students through a gauntlet of sex offenders, some who assaulted children.

    The I-Team cross-checked home addresses for convicted sex-offenders against Safe Passage routes that children now walk every day.

    Bright yellow signs and adults on lookout police on patrol: everyone watching for the obvious.
You know who's fault this is, right? The government!
  • Even with all that they have to worry about, these parents are still outraged.
    "I'm mad as hell. You move in these areas and they don't tell you what's goin' on," said Yureka Coleman, "Safe Passage" parent.
Ah government - the cause and solution to everyone's problems.

    Here's an idea, if you live in the ghetto walk your own fucking kids to school. Take care of your own kids, there is a concept. Yeah yeah I know, I'm dreaming.

    You're kind of reaching with this one, SCC. You would have to do a lot to convince me that sex offenders, many of whom may have been doing little more than whipping it out in public, are anywhere near significant compared to the gangbangers and other reprobates the kids have to pass.

    Well, what do these parents think is going on? These sex offenders move right back into the community that they originally came from. The parents should be walking their young children to school and picking them up,but the city has to hire people to do this for 10 bucks an hour. Shame on the members of the " community". The other part of this is the fact that sex offenders of children cannot be cured and should never be let out of jail, never. But, that would be politically incorrect.

    OT, but begs to be addressed. Was in 006 last night and Waller is fighting a losing battle with morale, if he is even addressing it. He, from all reports of everyone I know in 002, is a good commander. He better get the rest of the white shirts under control. Seems between the Lt just moved to days, the Lts on afternoons and a few over zealous micro managing sgts. 006 is a burned out shell of what it was even a year ago. The best kept secret on the south side is gone folks, area south is ALL shit now. Answer your calls, back each other up, stay safe, pray for a decent transfer order. The days of the bosses giving you the reins to make their promotions for them are over.

    Not to nit-pick, but cut CPS a break on this one.
    There is most likely a sex offender(s) every block in these communities. These guys get labeled if caught jerking-off in public, not that they shouldn't.

    The libtards in this country have the society they want.
    All sexual predictors should be locked away forever.
    But libtard inc. believes they have the answers and can reform such garbage.

    Realistically, nobody set these children up as bait for sex offenders. Pull up a map of registered sex offenders in Chicago and you will find it's impossible to map a sex-offender-free route for children in low income areas to get to school. ANY school. Their old school or their new 'welcoming' school.

    Everybody should remember the stated purpose of these stupid routes with signage was to ensure the kids wouldn't be jumped because they now had to cross gang territories to get to their new schools. Rahm and his publicity crew should have just assigned extra security to the general areas and shut up about guaranteeing safe passage. What a farce this has turned into.

    The government lets convicted felons vote and run for office, right? Why not have sex offenders have safe passage jobs? What better a job than rolling out of bed and walking down your front porch and being on post. Even better yet: Most will still be sitting on the porch from the night before still drinking their 40 oz. and they can conduct Safe Passage from their porch.

    The routes seem racist to me; racially profiled route. I live in Beverly and I don't have a route near me. Funny how that 'racial profiling' thing works.

    MISSING PERSONS REPORT

    Yes, hello CPD? I'd like to file a missing persons report.

    Ladies and gentlemen 102,000 workers have gone missing from the Illinois labor force since Jan 2013.

    While the media boast their job creation figures month after month telling us all about the non-farm payroll there is another number the BLS tracks and it's labeled under the labor force data as EMPLOYMENT.

    Employment in Illinois has been falling at an average of 20,000 a month since Jan 2013 , here check it out..>
    Bureau of Labor Statistics

    The reason I want to file a missing persons report is that if you lose 102,000 people that are working one would expect a significant rise in the unemployment numbers and well guess what!

    The number of unemployed in Illinois has only risen by 10,000 people over those five months!

    Lost 102,000 jobs and only roughly 10,000 of them show up to ask for unemployment??? Pretty strange don't ya think?

    Then look over at the BLS numbers for the size of the civilian labor force and compare Feb 2013 to July 2013. We just didn't lose the jobs we have 100,000 people that have left the workforce in Illinois over the last 5 months.

    So they left the workforce. They left their jobs and therefore are not counted as unemployed!!

    WHERE DID THEY GO??

    We are talking about 1.5% of Illinois workforce has disappeared.

    If we continue dropping 20,000 a month like we have over the last 5 months we are talking about a 4% annual loss of the labor force in Illinois.

    Can the state fund it's operations with another 4% of the people gone without more taxes, fines, fees?

    I think you know the answer.

    Meanwhile the media continues to point to non-farm payroll which by the way turns out is nothing to write home about either.

    In Feb 2013 we had 5.794 mil. and in July we have 5.795 mil or 1,000 NFP jobs in the last 5 months OH WE ARE GROWING THEY WILL SAY! HA!

    So where's Illinois workforce going?

    Maybe it's aliens? Start looking for the crop circles!

    Bur seriously, if you go to that bls link pull up the historical chart data by clicking on the little dinosaur column. This isn't some seasonal pattern.

    Detroit, we're right behind you baby!

    WTF. I'm so fucking sick of the gimmies. Gimmie that, gimmie this. When oh when will the public tire of this shit. I don't have any more room on my check for all the government handouts. Paying fucking grandmas to watch the kids while mamma pretends to look for work. Assholes running to Wisconsin.Minnesota and back to Illinois collecting 3 checks in 3 states. No checks and balances for fear of offending these thieves. Assholes that have $500 for the Lexus or Escalade cuz they have no: food, electric, gas, house, insurance, medical, school bills. And they ALL believe its owed them. Do people even realize that east of California the natural gas is cheaper for the ghetto. I'm sick of seeing revenue hawking my block for a ticket yet they only hit main streets in da hood. Why can the government take so much from us. I don't mind carrying someone's water that needs help but I can't stand paying for someone's bills who sleeps all day and slings dope at night and leaves the responsibility of watching their children to us. Stop breeding, WORK, have some pride and contribute. No one asks to rape my check with all these taxes, they just take,take,take. What I have left, I have to pay 10% again every time I make a purchase. The merchant that sells it to me had to pay a tax to purchase my item. It's ridiculous, we pay tax at least 3 times just to buy a pair of shoes and that merchants tax is passed on to the consumer. We are fucked until this gravy train runs out. I have an idea, fingerprint or DNA a freebie recipient. Impose a strict time limit for assistance. Enforce it, how? Stop sending them money.

    But if we send all the sex offenders out of state then we are likely to lose another position in the house of representatives due to the population decline.

    In case you missed it we are already currently losing avg. 20,000 people per month out of Illinois labor force according to the BLS stats.

    It started Feb 2013. We've lost over 100,000 people in the labor force.

    Civilian Labor Force

    Feb - 6,639.700
    Mar - 6,611.600
    Apr - 6,580.800
    May - 6,578.800
    Jun - 6,564.100
    Jul -(P) 6,540.200

    Round Feb up 300 workers to 6.640 mil and in Jul we have 6.540 mil == 100,000 worker GOnE!

    http://www.bls.gov/eag/eag.il.htm

    Funny thing though.

    When the lost in the number of EMPLOYED and Civilian Labor force fist started we saw a jump of 30,000 people in the unemployed column. Then in April as we were still bleeding jobs and labor force size something happened. The number of UNEMPLOYED reversed direction, even declining a time or two as the outflow continued surging.

    Are you buying what the BLS is selling with these numbers?

    Hey Libtard, and why don't you go Fuck Yourself.
    -- 1) It's none of your goddamn business if Wal-Mart has 'deep pockets' or not, you asshole.

    -- 4) It's none of your goddamn business how any employee gets to their own fucking job.
    -- 5) And it certainly isn't the employer's problem how an employee gets to work either, you moron.

    Chicago, the employees, and residents of that community are lucky Wal-Mart is even opening a store in that location, and the fact is Chicago, aka CTA, really doesn't have to do shit either. It's not their problem how anyone gets to a job and people have managing for quite some time on how to get to work without a door-to-door ride. It was called, WALKING, you fucking numbnuts.

    The I-Team didn't uncover or comment about the $16 million dollars Rahm spent on useless safe passage yellow metal signs slapped on the poles. He didn't even have the city make them, he had an outside contractor do them. Can you say wasted money and back door deal! Meanwhile our streetlights on our entire block are out for 17 straight days and we haven't seen a single police car on the block for weeks but that must be because my zip code isn't 60609 or 60621.
