15 Shot Overnight
Windy, rainy, chilly - perfect shooting weather evidently:
- At least 15 people were shot across the city during a roughly seven-hour stretch starting Saturday night, including 11 shot within three hours early this morning, according to police.
Including a triple on the Dan Ryan:
- Three people suffered what were believed to be non-life threatening injuries when they were shot this evening on the Dan Ryan Expressway, police said.
The three were shot on Interstate 94 northbound near 59th Street about 8:53 p.m., according to Illinois State Police.
59th Street? Where have we read about 59th Street recently? Oh yeah, in the list of places NOT to go according to foreign governments to their citizens visiting this country:
- Planning a trip abroad? It’s probably best to check out the State Department’s list of travel warnings for countries with unsafe political situations. At the moment, the State Department has issued travel warnings for 34 countries, from the Central African Republic and El Salvador to Iraq and North Korea.
Well, just as State warns Americans about dangerous places to travel, so too do foreign ministries in other countries — and some countries warn their citizens to avoid heading to certain cities in the U.S. France, in particular, warns travelers to be careful in a large number of specific cities.
Here’s what other countries, mostly France, say about American cities:
- Chicago: Stay away from the West Side and anywhere south of 59th Street.
The governments could just save themselves some time and tell their citizens not to go anywhere democrats are in charge.

We need more contact cards and event numbers dammit!! Oh wait, we are being jerked over on our contract as usual. Never mind!
They left it vague (south of 59th st.) so they wouldn't embarass Mt. Greenwood
Chicago is just not safe, despite having some of the strictest gun control laws in the entire nation. Too many Democratic and some Republican politicians in Chicago and the surrounding counties don't have a clue about crime reduction measures. Get rid of the FOID card, allow open and concealed carry (choice) and punish with meaningful prison sentences those who are guilty beyond a reasonable doubt of the actual use of a firearm to commit murder, armed robbery and other violent crimes. And if a shooting is truly in self defense, don't make life miserable for the person defending himself or others.
Have you noticed that some media outlets are no longer calling it Obamacare? As in ACA Snafu vs. the Obamacare Snafu. Looks like they are trying to remove the name from the disaster. Let's see how this plays out.

SCC, please remember to capitalize "Democrat" and "Republican." otherwise it means something different. See the controversy surrounding a recently [re]discovered plaque at that bastion of left-wing lunacy, Northeastern Illinois University.
The US State Department has historically been very politically correct. I advise checking out the British Home Office for travel warnings. They have been very frank in their statements, even at one time advising British citizens to stay away from Mexico. Now, I will have to check them out for Chicago!

Come on SCC, that isn't a "triple" A triple is three dead, that is a hat trick.
15! 15! And rahm disrespects every police officer that ever put on a uniform! 5% and then increase health care and everything else which would give the coppers a -10% raise! Yep ok, with in corrupt county periwinkle and her crew complaining about to many black and brown being locked up! Sure periwinkle keep letting the animals roam free as the jungle rules apply to the jungle where the strongest beast survives! How about we talk to sister city Mexico and we send out criminals to a Mexican prison where they are treated as animals that they are maybe it would severely reduce recidivism!

The only reason that France used 59th St. (Midway Plaisance) as the north border to South Side violence is in deference to the University of Chicago. Go a few miles west on 59th St. and you're dead meat.
Excluding Hegewisch, they should have included a border to the South Side an irregular parallel west border between California Ave. and Longwood Drive.
Why didn't they just come out and say it? In all cities, avoid Scandinavian neighborhoods. Period.
Back at you, France. When visiting Paris, Marseilles and Lyon, avoid Islamic areas.
Anywhere west of western and south of congress could be a risk to your health. Chicago is a bloated, rotting corpse waiting to explode. It's a good thing they changed the course of the river to flow south.

FYI. Chicago is far from the most dangerous city in America, let alone the world. Chicago ranks about 18th in crime rate in the US. Try St. Louis, Miami, almost any city in New Mexico, I could go on. And, if you really want crime, try Jamaica, Puerto Rico, most Caribbean islands, almost anywhere in South and Central America. Crime is everywhere and now Europe with the flood of immigrants is catching up fast. In fact, western Europe exceeds the US in property crime.
Sounds like more V.R.I. gotta pay off the Christmas Bills ya know!
Just another example of the abject failure of Democrat (Communist) Political Leadership.
I have to agree with the comment up top, Chicago just isn't all that safe. Me being a teenager from the west side I know I could easily be a victim of a random gang shooting up north just as easily as out west or out south in the right(wrong) neighborhood, but a lot of tourist don't know that. The French were kind of off in my opinion with their comment about 59th. I'd say it starts more so at about 22nd lol. You'd also want avoid the loop after business hours on foot because there would be a lot less foot/car traffic after business hours. Also seems like boystown is a place that's getting really grimey.
All very calculated....
So, Jesse Jackson, Jr. 17 year veteran of the US Congress, suddenly gets a "mood disorder" (about the same time he learned he was to be indicted) and is going to prison for 2.5 years.
Because his "mood disorder" was so severe, he has become disabled and will receive $8700 per month as a disability payment as well as $45000 a year from his congressional pension, a total of about $150K per year.
Is this a great country or what?
By the way, I've had a rather substantial "mood disorder disability" ever since Obama got elected in 2008. I have not committed any felonies, have not been convicted and sentenced to prison and...
I don't get squat - other than a higher and higher tax bill every year.
FED UP AND ANGRY YET?
Jessie Jr., like Obama, the spawn of the Chicago/Cook County Democratic Machine, where the voters continue to vote long after they are dead!

Screw the democrats. They don't deserve the respect of a capital letter. And the republicans aren't doing much better.

How does McCarthy keep his job. It's obvious that his strategies aren't working. We need new blood on 35th st with new ideas. McCarthy is trying to reinvent the wheel. That's not needed.

Your ignorance is showing !! The point is, there is only so much you can do about crime. Sure, you can hire 25 thousand cops for Chicago, but no one will put up with the massive taxes that would follow, to include you. And, there is no guarantee that this would work. Crime goes in cycles and it looks like the cycle has turned for us. Sounds like you have all of the answers. maybe you should write a book on criminology and police administration and publish it. It would be a best seller.

If the west & south sides of Chicago were cities they would be two of the most dangerous cities in America. If I'm not mistaken, the south side had well over hundred more murders than Los Angeles alone last year. But comparing Chicago to third world countries violence is like telling a person in North Lawndale or Englewood at least your not as poor as kids in Africa, holds no logic IMO, but...
Let's not forget how Chicago compares to ciudad Juarez, AKA "The most Dangerous city in the Western Hemisphere"
http://smallwarsjournal.com/jrnl/art/is-chicago-on-the-road-to-becoming-an-american-ciudad-juárez
Or how none of of these cities in America that are supposedly far more dangerous than Chicago are capable of having 82 people shot or killed in one week
http://www.suntimes.com/news/crime/14848695-418/story.html
Or even 72 people shot in what, 4 days? 30+ victims being shot in one day I recall.
http://www.nbcchicago.com/news/local/15-Shot-As-Holiday-Weekend-Begins-214275491.html
Or how Chicago ties with Detroit with the most dangerous neighborhoods in the country
http://news.yahoo.com/four-chicago-neighborhoods-named-list-25-most-dangerous-213400258.html
( there is also another list of zip codes that I can't find at the moment and if I'm not mistaken Chicago has the most dangerous zip codes in America. #1 on the list was also a Chicago zip code.)
Oh, I forgot. I shouldn't mention how many people got shot, only how many shooting incidents there were *V8 Head Slap* ( just jokes, Just Kiddin')
And let's not even get on how chiraq is averaging more than 5 shootings and a little over 1 murder a day. Hell, technically speaking Chiraq has a mass shooting a couple times a month it seems. Keep your per capita rates and statistics, I'll stick to alarming, raw numbers.
Oh! Almost forgot to mention that there maybe 17 more dangerous cities than Chicago in America, but none of them are more dangerous for children then Chicago
http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2012/12/24/Chicago-Is-Gun-Control-Capital-Of-U-S-Yet-Over-440-School-Age-Children-Shot-There-in-2012

Autopsy: Pedestrian killed by SUV, ruled homicide
07:30 PM
The death of a 37-year-old woman who was found in an alley on the West Side was ruled a homicide, according to an autopsy. LaTasha Amos, of the 4700 block of West Adams Street, was pronounced dead at 3:20 a.m. at Loyola University Medical Center, according to the Cook County medical examiner's office.
LIES, ALL LIES! Your just McSilly picking on the Stup..errr Sup.
