Another Asinine Statement
- We’ve reported extensively about Chicago’s problem with gun violence.
Now Chicago police said they have seized more than 6,500 illegal guns this year. That’s 130 illegal weapons each week.
Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy says that’s more than any major city and he says if you can reduce weapons you will reduce crime.
“Carrying a loaded firearm is the gateway crime to committing a murder,” McCarthy said.
Seriously? Does this ass not realize that thousands of police officers carry loaded firearms, not only on duty, but off? Does he know that hundreds of thousands of persons in 49 other states all carry loaded firearms and somehow stop themselves from committing murder on a daily basis?
And not to put to fine a point on it, how many aldercreatures are packing heat right now and manage to keep their greasy little fingers off the triggers? Of course, they're probably committing other forms of graft, corruption and assorted white-collar felonies, but they aren't truly rising to homicide as far as we know.
This tool really needs to stop tonguing Rahm's asshole.

Not to mention our fearless Sheriff, Tom Dart, who is also carrying without the benefit of any firearms training or FOID. But then again, he's a democrat political hack so the rules don't apply.
"This tool needs to stop tonguing Rahm's asshole." Thank you SCC for a magnificent mental image. That is forever-fucking seared into my mind's eye. I may need therapy.....really.

His comments contradict every statistic out there regarding gun ownership. It only makes him look like an idiot. The internet has lead people to actual TRUE sources for facts. Maybe in the late 1800's this kind of propaganda would of passed.
Ot but still asinine. Has anyone ever seen a transfer order come out days late? Just curious because the last one is late. And it's a Little ironic that the office responsible for this as well as the jacked up promotional lists that were released then rescinded numerous times was controlled by a sgt that was just promoted meritoriously. So basically incompetence is still rewarded on this job.
Here is a link to an article that "PROVES" that it is not warm weather but in reality cold weather that causes murder.

Like I said last year...this guy is the Joe Biden of the Rahm administration. You don't see Biden as much anymore, because he says stupid stuff. McDumbass has been quiet lately too (other than spewing the lies about crime being down), but this one is hilarious.
I love that term "gateway". I remember seeing a rerun of Dragnet where they grab a drugged out hippie and he talks about marijuana as a gateway drug. Imagine this in Jack Webb monotone, serious as a heart attack...
"Marijuana is the flame, cocaine is the fuse...and heroin is the bomb."
Da da dum dum
Getting tired of the comments on the news about how 'police have to be retrained in the way they think about citizens carrying'.
NO, WE DON'T. We are NOT Tom Dart, who doesn't want civilians to be armed against criminals who would do them harm. We are NOT Rahm Emanuel, with his own agenda, or Garry McWhateverYouWantRahm.
We recognize we are understaffed and unable to help every victim at every moment. Then there's the little matter of the Constitution, which we seem to be more aware of and in line with than most career politicians.
We welcome the fact that the State of Illinois has been forced to comply with the law of the land and we're fine with it. (Hint: we've ALWAYS treated every citizen encounter with the notion they just might have a gun on them. This is nothing new for us.)
well since crime is down ...what ..twenty percent...according to the field marshal must be the 6,500 guns he took off the streets -- therefore if he takes five times 6,500 guns off the street crime will be down one-hundred percent..haha..
nice diversion from the drug cartels both funding the gun purchases and providing the financial gain motives don't ya think.
Just saying, I read somewhere that Texas alone has over one million concealed carry permits. They probably have less per capita violence, or murders, than Illinois or Cook Co. Some people just have their minds made up and no amount of logic or facts will change them. The streetlamp assassin needs to be more flexible in his thinking and less anal.
All socialist scum need to go. They are killing this country and the freedom it once enjoyed.
Join the NRA. Do it today.
Maybe we should focus our attention on the offenders. ....not the weapons.
Racist. .....sorry
Rahmie the Commie is behind this. McDrunk is just spouting the bullshit he's told to.
when's rahm gonna finance another million dollar violence interrupter movie.
was watching a youtube clip and a few minutes in heard 'oh the chicago cops...dey scared they pulled up, slowed down and they kept going when the shooting started...dey scared..'
nice job hollywood rahm and gary.
is this a pych ops motivation tactic or just plain stupidity.
“Carrying a loaded firearm is the gateway crime to committing a murder,” McCarthy said.
Kinda like...
"'Government-sponsored racism' is a gateway crime to ghettos everywhere becoming self-cleaning ovens.
Or...
"Trampling crime scenes to the point spent casings get caught in the treads of your shoes is a gateway faux pas to yet another unsolved murder".
Or...
"Over imbibing at a work Christmas party is the catalyst to threatening a subordinate over whether rugby players are tougher than football players".
Or...
"Over imbibing at a Blackhawks game will be the reason for yelling obscenities and ignorant comments at a player on the opposing team".
Or...
"Over imbibing at a Cubs game will be the impetus to a domestic incident requiring on duty guys to 'separate the combatants' and send Mama on her way home".
These are just the first few examples that sprang to mind - I'm sure there's dozens of others.
You're an incredibly ignorant, undereducated buffoon... not to mention an absolute embarrassment, McCarthy. We'll all be much better off once your ship sets sail.
How many of those seized guns come from natural cause deaths and they grab all the guns in the house. How many are from gun turn in or found property. How many are from court orders on Domestics. Seized guns give me a break!
This is a police state with a culture of grab all the guns.
To the idiot in the other post......
Who needs an Illinois Concealed Carry License?
Everyone who wants to carry a concealed firearm on his/her person in Illinois is required to have an Illinois Concealed Carry License except current peace officers and retired police officers eligible under a federally approved retired officer concealed carry program such as the Illinois Retired Officer Concealed Carry (IROCC) Program. Retired officers may be eligible to carry under either the IROCC Program or the Firearm Concealed Carry Act (430 ILCS 66).
Oh, he knows. So does Rahm, who won't be happy until he has his own force of disarmed London-style bobbies. The registration directive was the first step. Registration leads to confiscation.
Does he have trouble with alcohol? Drugs? Is he dropping acid? He needs to be tested ASAP! Watched his news conference why do we need a first deputy? Al just stands in the back as always trying not to crack a smile!
On another note since the sergeants contract and lieutenants contract has been settled, with back pay the arbitrator would most likely give us everything they got, including the first year of back pay that shields and the rest of the goofs at flop neglected to send the letter about. Hey billy Doherty just looked over transfer order noticed your now assigned to 022 does that mean the hard working members can save that extra 140,000 you get in addition to your regular pay as your acting flop president now? We could use that money " billy the kid" to hire a pr firm that can actually tell the public what officers do!
How much does pat Camden make? He gives the same statement when officers are involved in shooting " the officer fired in fear of his/her life"! We could use that to hire the PR firm also!
Lastly mike shields on transfer order in 018 to have his brother protect the little boy! Is it true or is mike " Casper the ghost" anyone seen MIKEY!
Second city cop spirits of the air just a thank you from a veteran copper for all you do and have a great new year to you and all fellow officers may God bless us all!
Listen we all know exactly who McCarthy is talking about and its definitely not off duty police officers.
Stupid is as stupid says...
"Does this ass not realize that thousands of police officers carry loaded firearms, not only on duty, but off? Does he know that hundreds of thousands of persons in 49 other states all carry loaded firearms and somehow stop themselves from committing murder on a daily basis?"
More civilians carry guns than police officers. Seems that people who carry legitimately commit fewer murders than those who do not.
This guy's full of it.

OT: the bitch is back in eleven on first watch. Hope y'all on afternoons enjoyed her little visit.
This fool just loves to attack his own Police Officers and law abiding citizens for their (Rahm and Supt.) political spin! It has nothing to do with keeping the children safe, which they want the media to eat up! Then you expect us to help keep this city safe after those insults! Freaking Morons the both of them! Da Pelon
City mismanagement
Three of the big financial decisions among many that continue to hurt the City:
1. Parking meter deal
2. TIFs
3. Inadequate Pension Funding (and spending the contributions elsewhere)
Rahm's solution?
Go after the weakest of the three, the retiree.
The city should consider reselling the guns to firearm dealers in other states to help with revenues and the budget.
6500 guns x $300 per gun = $1.95 million
Every little bit helps
“Carrying a loaded firearm is the gateway crime to committing a murder,” McCarthy said.
Yea, and driving a gassed up SUV is the gateway crime to committing vehicular homidice
Can't you morons see simple logic here?
How sad is it the SCC is the only people willing to call him on his lies?
Please let us know what happened @ the JISC the other night between 3 detectives. One that surely has anger issues and should have been evaluated after the incident with KD over a year ago. Seems like detective short fuse was facing arrest after battering a colleague this time What gives? And was Sgt. RH on duty at the JISC?
When there is a homicide with no suspects, but the Super on the suspect list since he has a firearm and is on the gateway path.
Florida alone has a million permits. Your hundreds of thousands is really low.
Take your union dues and give them to the NRA. Money better spent.
What is the story with the two home invasions in 16 last night, gypsies, liberals from the south side?
So, take away all the guns, and they will use knives, machetes, and clubs to kill with.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but that's almost 6 guns per district each day (2 per watch).
Is Gary now including weapons turned in as seized. I would think so seeing how they will be destroyed. I still don't see 6 (5.9) guns a day from each district. Yeah West and Southside districts were guns are more prevalent, but do they make up for all the rest of the districts.
2013 – Lowest Number of Law Enforcement Deaths by Firearms Since 1887 – Yes, 1887
December 30 2013

Share This Post
We keep hearing from the anti-gunners about how gun crime is getting out of control and law enforcement officers are outgunned out on the streets. Of course, nearly all of the FBI’s crime numbers show a 20+ year low in homicide and violent crime, but why let facts get in the way?
Now we have another fact to disprove their point that “gun crime” is out of control. In 2013, the fewest number law enforcement officers since 1887 were killed by firearms.
According to the report by the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund,
Firearms-related fatalities reached a 126-year low in 2013 with 33 officers shot and killed, the lowest since 1887 when 27 officers were shot and killed. After increasing dramatically in 2010 and 2011, firearms- related fatalities decreased in 2013 for the second year.
Thirty-three officers died in firearms-related incidents compared to 49 in 2012, representing a 33 percent decrease.
Handguns were the leading type of firearm used in fatal shootings of law enforcement officers in 2013. Of the 33 officer fatalities, 58 percent were shot and killed with a handgun.
As the report also points out, most shooting deaths were committed by suspects armed with handguns. This further disproves the fact that officers are regularly facing suspects armed with semi-automatic rifles which are most often the target of gun ban legislation.
Traffic related fatalities were the leading cause of death among law enforcement officers in 2013.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to the officers who died in the line of duty in 2013 as well as their friends, families and colleagues.

{OT) just a thought went to the fop "ghetto trailer" gift shop, how long has the store Been closed? We are waiting for contract arbitration which wild billy and his crew of misfits has no clue how to "git er done" they cannot even repair the store from the flood maybe they are giving to much of our money away to grieger and his crew?
When an idiot opens his mouth, do you really expect greatness to come spewing out? Really (lmao- retired)!
All POS eventually get what's coming to them.
How many streetlights has he murdered? That's what he is talking about.
I think they tried McStreetlight's approach in Great Britain. It didn't work, crime went up. Criminals either got guns off the black market, or started using knives. Leftists' minds are closed to reality.
Sorry SCC that this is OT but gotta get it off my chest. Yesterday I drove downtown to drop my daughter off at Union Station. Found a parking spot at Adams and Clinton. After pumping $6 into the meter I walked my daughter to the station. Walking back to the parking spot I see a big black caddy park in front of my car. The F1 in the caddy flips a handicap placard on the rearview, gets out of the car, sprints down the street and disappears into a building a block away. Pretty typical for most scamming shitheads in this city right! . . . Except this "person" was in a full CTA uniform, vest, jacket, hat, the works. Might have even been a supervisor.
Now many might say that maybe she was legitimately handicapped and the placard was legit, besides the fact that she sprinted down the street. Okay, I might agree with that, except I know a handicap placard is registered to a specific individual and given that fact then why is a CTA employee, a city employee, driving a vehicle with NO CITY STICKER!
Okay, okay, there will be those who say maybe she borrowed the car and its not registered in the city. I might agree with that, besides the fact that there was a CTA vest tucked in the back window that looked like it was there forever!
I don't know, there are an awful lot of maybes here and I might be wrong, but it sure looked fucked up to me.
The plate number is N939127 and the placard number is BG78288 if anyone is interested. Photos available.
Happy New Year SCC
Could you please recommend any CCW training in the area?
Several friends are recently asking and I'm not sure where to send them.
I've read about shady instructors giving poor training.
I heard that the Sportsman's Club is a good one.
leave him alone
Most police chiefs (99%) are political animals, they have to spout their boss' views to keep their job. The NYPD Commish and the LAPD Chief all spout what their Mayors want them to say.
Statistics prove them wrong, legally carried firearms are very, very, very, very rarely used in a crime.
I'd bet McGoof's ex wife and daughters all carry back in Joisey and NY.
I am buying my wife a "princess protector" and CCW training for her birthday coming up. Same for my daugher when she becomes of age.
Back in the days of Gang Crime North, South and West, I believe the CPD gun recovery count was over 20,000 a yr.......ahhhhh the good old days......
McCarthy, how can you look at yourself in the face when you shave in the morning ?
Remember, everyone loves a little ass now and then, but no one likes a suckass.
He does what he is told.
He is the perfect Irishman.
If Rahm wants higher taxes on bullets The Supe will climb to the to of HQ and sing about taxes.
If sharpton need s a dance partner Gmac will bring out his tap shoes.
The supe is not an officer he is a Political tool just like the head of Street and San. Garbage!
Women bound as homes ransacked on Northwest Side
BUT CRIME IS DOWN
boys and girls make sure your families are trained and armed !!!!!!!
Here is another asinine statement by the city wide team. INTEGRITY ? They must be smoking something.
I've carried a gun every day since I moved out of the commie state of Illinois and I've killed exactly zero people. Something must be wrong with me, it's only been 7 years....

“Carrying a loaded firearm is the gateway crime to committing a murder,” McCarthy said.
Perhaps it's a plea for help. He's really saying, "Stop me before I hurt someone!"
I miss Jack Webb.
hey, Mac....1) have you read the Second Amendment (part of the US Constitution you swore to uphold and defend)?
2) by most estimates, there are about 300 million firearms (of all kinds) in the United States).....did you know that?.....and, we'll make more!.....courtesy, Mr. Smith, Mr. Wesson, Sir Glock, His Majesty Berreta, etc......
scc mostly I agree with you if not all the way.. but there is also something that I think of when I think of people carrying guns in chicago... Its the guys I hang out with. Now, I dont hang out with criminals at all. I dont hang out with bad guys. Most if not all have never been arrested or had negative contact with the police... However, all of them love to drink on the weekends on western ave (beverly). Almost always there is a fight somewhere, not with my friends but at most of the bars on western there is a fight. People down here in mt greenwood, beverly and then you get the morons from alsip who are white and think they are thugs but have no backround love guns. I forsee a shooting at one of these bars within the next year. A fight that will turn into gunplay. guys here are not use to having guns, they are not use to having that responsibility. People from other states in towns grew up with guns and its not a big deal. Here in chicago its a novelty. Im all for concealed carry but I dont trust alot of people I know to carry a gun. No doubt the alley off western ave is going to hear gunshots at least once a week after the bars let out from some goof showing his friends he has a gun and is gonna shoot it off in the air. I guarantee thats gonna happen. I like it but I can also see that people fear it. I know I dont trust alot of people I know with a gun. Imagine the people I DONT know and are worse but will be able to get a gun. Its gonna end up with someone getting shot and killed after a fist fight and its gonna end up being a normal neighborhood guy who just drank too much. It use to be they would get in a fight and get beat up or beat someone up and now it could wind up with one of them dead from getting shot..
Sergeant died a few years ago. He was a known "gun nut". Rumor was that some boss thought it would be a good idea to raid the house and seize the gun collection valued at tens of thousands of dollars rather than let his family (ex wife, and adult children) decide what to do with the property. The sarge lived alone.
Well well well...
Scum-Times online is reporting two take-over home invasions.
One in Jefferson Park and another in Dunning...
What say you tax paying citizens about having your paid for Police presence stripped away from you by Rahm and McSteakHead to keep the catered to constituencies from totally fucking up the manufactured "crime is down" mantra so those two nitwits can have a talking point for their national ambitions?
Too bad the tax payers are generally nice hard working people who don't normally kick up a fuss about being lied to and stolen from.
Kicking up a fuss means that you have to act on your anger, hatred and disgust over what is being done to you and your quality of life.
NICE people SHOULD show these politicians what anger, hatred and disgust REALLY are because they stand to lose much more than the people who get their asses kissed on principle by the mayor and the so called superintendent.
Aren't you tired of tasting the repeated back-hand slaps they've been giving you?
By virture of the dearth of Police presence, Rahm Emanuel is telling and showing you where you stand in the city services hierarchy.
Just sit down, shut up, pay your taxes, fees and jackpot fines just for being constructive members of society.
Heh... If only the tax payers had some noisy-assed, home made, make believe clergy to march around and shout into bullhorns at city hall and Police HQ...
The nice people should act on their festering anger, hatred amd disgust.
Pay no attention to the high order hypocrites who believe and preach that "nice people" shouldn't show their anger, hatred and disgust over how far and how hard they've been shoved down the municipal pecking order.
"Nice People" SHOULD be about the business of settling scores in this town... It's the only way they can snatch back what is rightfully theirs...
Let those who contribute nothing but fuckery and misery be forced to seek out and feed on each other.
May the "nice people" begin to make themselves hard, forbidding and uninviting targets from here on out.
12:33AM. You are so right!
The Bronx Ballbag over polices the ghetto forcing the hood rats to the nicer areas to commit their crimes. Bagdad Garry has stripped the police from the nicer areas to police the ghetto, so the hood rats have virtually no opposition in the nicer areas.
Garry did this to lower the homicide rate, period. The homicide rate almost exclusively consisted of bangers killing each other in their own wars. Lowering the homicide rate was necessary to legitimize COMPSTAT, Garry's dogma.
Does anybody think this is a good idea...except Garry of course? Am I missing the mark here? Let's ask the senior citizen with the bullet in his foot ON ASTOR STREET!
Correct me if I'm wrong, but that's almost 6 guns per district each day (2 per watch).

I will correct you because your math is way off.
6500 (guns) divided by 365 (days) equals 17.8 (guns seized per day)

Why dont you let everyone know since you work there.
OT- SCC, hope you have a very happy, healthy and prosperous New Year. This is a great blog, and you are doing a tremendous job. Over the past few years you have inspired a lot of writers - some are funny, some are tragic, others are goofballs, many are solid, intelligent coppers. But in the end, they are all (mostly) interesting.
In addition to all that, where would the news services be without your reporting? Even the rumors are fun to read.
One of the mysteries of this life is that we will never know all of the good we can do with our lives, or the way we can make significant changes in other's lives. You do it without seeking personal gain, and it's obvious you don't get much in the way of thanks.
So, as we look forward to 2014, I and a lot of other people are looking forward to reading this blog every day, and all we can do is thank you for all the hard work.
And God bless, protect and continue to watch over all the working CPD out there.
Why in the fuck does anyone pay any attention to this blithering drunken idiot!!!!! He has proven time and time again that he is Rham's personal butt plug by way of his tongue what else need be said? Mcfuckstick does and says whatever the fuck tiny dancer tells him so ignore this fucktard because giving him and type of attention just lends credence to his stupid assumptions. The only gun control this asshole knows about is the drunken kind you use when shooting out street lights.
SCC, you have an opinion but this one I don't agree with.
Was discussing this statement at breakfast with the Mrs and my 9 year old said but dad you and mom carry guns all the time and you don't do bad things...Why would your boss say something like that... The 9 year old gets it, the 50+ year old is clueless...
lies, lies, lies. wow and this idiot just continues to have shit spew out his mouth. it is the chicago way to lie, cheat, steal to look like something else better rather than do right and earn everything. this includes the savages on the streets and especially the politicians currently in office. that is the chicago way.
Mcnumbnuts thinks he is Wyatt Earp in Dodge City. Soon he will have POs at the city limits taking control of guns before you can enter the city.

Dear media,
Why don't you EVER fact check? Do you really believe that this department seized over six THOUSAND guns?
Where some of those guns, perhaps, turn ins? Taken from homes (illegally) on other calls? Because I never see that many guns coming into the district numbers per week.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but that's almost 6 guns per district each day (2 per watch).

You are wrong. It is a constitutional right, and if it's abused, there will be punishment. Most people behave MORE responsibly when they know they are armed and can lose that right if they screw up.
Sorry SCC that this is OT but gotta get it off my chest. Yesterday I drove downtown to drop my daughter off at Union Station. Found a parking spot at Adams and Clinton. After pumping $6 into the meter I walked my daughter to the station. Walking back to the parking spot I see a big black caddy park in front of my car.

Happens all the time. The dogs are always pulling that shit. Have a grandma get the placard and put it in your car Nothing knew Everyone knows where they are doing this, but the CPD wont enforce it, neither will the revenue guys on the bikes. City hall have hotliones, start one for handicap violations, public would be behind it and there would be alot of revenue because of the high fines, City hall wont do it, They could put the revenue guys in those areas and make a fortune, but its easier to have them harass the northsiders who pay the fines

Oh, so you disagree with the United States Constitution and the Bill of Rights. You are an asshole. Go help McDrunk lick Rahm's asshole. Maybe he'll let you run a gulag when they take over.
The assumption seems to be that EVERYONE who can is going to buy and carry a gun. I would assume a very small percent of people will take advantage of their constitutional right. Therefore, the Sups. Comments are totally baseless.
All of us that live in Bev/Mt. Greecewood know nothing good happens in "The Bake" after midi.
Do yourself as well as U'r friends a favor....stay away from that piss hole

this Drunk is just a Stooge-Puppet of the Democommunist Party, Chicago Chapter. Just ignore this lying drunken Buffoon. He's a complete embarrassment to the true, honest, fair, hard-working peacekeepers of the Real Chicago Police Department.

Take your union dues and give them to the NRA. Money better spent.

Took that Advise. FOP does nothing for the average CPD Copper, Active, Retired, or Disabled. They sure do like your dues money though.
The handwriting is on the wall, as to what "Team" they REALLY play for.
From a Retired 31 year guy...
Does anyone have an idea of how the Los Angeles Police Department deals with Civilian Concealed Carry? Seems all we hear about is New york and Chicago...okay, Texas, too.
The LAPD has everything in place I'd presume.
Just askin...not trying to stir the pot with that one.
BUT with this one:
I've emailed Mr Kenton Manning who runs IOCC for a definition of Civilian Carry -vs- Retired P/O's carry and what impact either could have.
I know all you h=guys have given your opinions and I appreciate that yet I'd also like to hear it from the State. They have no problem taking our money for that ridiculous qualification/target shoot every year.
A month ago, he told me he'd check with the legal Department regarding my inquiry.
I've emailed him a couple more times and he tells me these things take time...??
Tells me to be patient...??
Just so fellow retired and soon to be retired are aware...
Mr Manning runs the IROCC yet can't answer this question or verify everyones thoughts on whats legal or not??
I emailed him again today asking for an update and I'll let you know what he says-if he ever says anything that is.
Maybe if some other retired guys would ask-perhaps he'll answer you?
so glad its 12/31/2013 and no orders or any type of notices on how to handle carry concealed. how do we verify the card?
bueller?
bueller?
Maybe there's a way to trade McCarthy for Dart??
So all cops are murders now according to Mr.Streetlightassassinprofiler ???

scc mostly I agree with you if not all the way.. but there is also something that I think of when I think of people carrying guns in chicago... Its the guys I hang out with. Now, I dont hang out with criminals at all. I dont hang out with bad guys. Most if not all have never been arrested or had negative contact with the police... However, all of them love to drink on the weekends on western ave (beverly). Almost always there is a fight somewhere, not with my friends but at most of the bars on western there is a fight. People down here in mt greenwood, beverly and then you get the morons from alsip who are white and think they are thugs but have no backround love guns. I forsee a shooting at one of these bars within the next year. A fight that will turn into gunplay. guys here are not use to having guns, they are not use to having that responsibility. People from other states in towns grew up with guns and its not a big deal. Here in chicago its a novelty. Im all for concealed carry but I dont trust alot of people I know to carry a gun. No doubt the alley off western ave is going to hear gunshots at least once a week after the bars let out from some goof showing his friends he has a gun and is gonna shoot it off in the air. I guarantee thats gonna happen. I like it but I can also see that people fear it. I know I dont trust alot of people I know with a gun. Imagine the people I DONT know and are worse but will be able to get a gun. Its gonna end up with someone getting shot and killed after a fist fight and its gonna end up being a normal neighborhood guy who just drank too much. It use to be they would get in a fight and get beat up or beat someone up and now it could wind up with one of them dead from getting shot..

1. You need to get some new friends.
2. People need to learn self-restraint. You know, behave like adults.
3. Never settle a fistfight with a gun.
I really don't get it; I've had arguments with my spouse and never thought to go for the gun. Had differences of opinion with my co-workers, both on and off duty, yet none of us ever went for a gun. EVEN WHEN OUT DRINKING.
It's called self-control. If your friends don't have any, move on.

Now that there sentiment, SCC, is about the most succinct and correct thing I've ever read on these here electrons. Keep in mind how many other ass munchers McLush has to elbow out of the way to get to his place in line for that butt hole.

Think Gene Hackman in The Unforgiven giving English Bob an ass kicking.
Sergeant died a few years ago. He was a known "gun nut". Rumor was that some boss thought it would be a good idea to raid the house and seize the gun collection valued at tens of thousands of dollars rather than let his family (ex wife, and adult children) decide what to do with the property. The sarge lived alone.

That's why my wife and kids ALL have FOID cards ... there is no age limit to get one.
“Carrying a loaded firearm is the gateway crime to committing a murder,” McCarthy said.
He's right. The people of Chicago are stupid animals, too dumb to take care of themselves.
They should be glad that benevolent leaders such as Daly and Emanuel are there to make their decisions and to take care of them. (Sarcasm Mode: OFF)

Chicago, and because of Chicago, the entire state of Illinois will NEVER be a normal CCW state.

Ot- Disability Dean and his guys were in 018 roll call talking their bs. Afterwards he goes in tbe tact office and was asking where all the free restaurants were cuz he was hungry. He then goes on to ask for a cpd car to borrow? Is this guy for real?????

Just got my fop update saying the dept finally put out transfer order, ahh flop FYI shhh it came out yesterday about 1800 hours as usual your a day late! How's that contract arbitration? Are the boys back in town getting their drunk on as usual tonight?
VRI - only reason - more cops!
Sorry SCC that this is OT but gotta get it off my chest. Yesterday I drove downtown to drop my daughter off at Union Station. Found a parking spot at Adams and Clinton. After pumping $6 into the meter I walked my daughter to the station. Walking back to the parking spot I see a big black caddy park in front of my car. The F1 in the caddy flips a handicap placard on the rearview, gets out of the car, sprints down the street and disappears into a building a block away. Pretty typical for most scamming shitheads in this city right! . . . Except this "person" was in a full CTA uniform, vest, jacket, hat, the works. Might have even been a supervisor.
Now many might say that maybe she was legitimately handicapped and the placard was legit, besides the fact that she sprinted down the street. Okay, I might agree with that, except I know a handicap placard is registered to a specific individual and given that fact then why is a CTA employee, a city employee, driving a vehicle with NO CITY STICKER!
Okay, okay, there will be those who say maybe she borrowed the car and its not registered in the city. I might agree with that, besides the fact that there was a CTA vest tucked in the back window that looked like it was there forever!
I don't know, there are an awful lot of maybes here and I might be wrong, but it sure looked fucked up to me.
The plate number is N939127 and the placard number is BG78288 if anyone is interested. Photos available.
---------------------------------
CTA employees do not have a residency requirement.
Absolutely, schools is where it needs to start. I'm lucky enough that I live in Lincoln Park and I have my daughter in a great school (La Salle Language Academy). Since I look so young, I get the argument from co-workers all the time, "Living in the city is great when your single or newly married, but once you have a family, you don't want your kids to go to an inner-city school" To which I reply I do have a family and I still live in the city, then the I'm given the irresponsible parent look. One time I was lectured on what a disservice I was doing my daughter by not raising her in the suburbs.
Sooo, you want to keep people here, have the best schools in the state in the city.
Its because of ignorance like this guy experienced that I am glad I work for the city of Chicago and thats why I think the residency requirement for city workers is one of the greatest laws past by this city EVER EVER! There are alot of people who work for the city with families and they often live on the southwest and northwest sides, the law forced these people to make due in the city and as a result they know its perfectly fine and plausable to raise children in the city. Chicago does have some of the best public schools in the state and it might even be because of the residency requirment that they remained so, it seems some of the most knowledgable people about city schools both public and private are city workers. It has helped create an educated populace even if they make up only a small percentage of those who work in the city. I often wonder the type of ignorance I would experience if I worked in the private sector, since my profession is urban planning probably less so but I am still shocked to hear about experiences like this. Its shocking that these are supposedly college educated people that have such ignorance to think that raising a child in the city is giving them a disservice.
Honestly I think this is the only way to truly make cities work is to have people who have a direct self-interst in the welfare of the city to work for its government. I know there will be some people moaning about the "freedom" of people to live where they want and limits the talent pool but the way I look at it is if your ignorance of living in the city prevents you from accepting a job at city hall then you are not worthy to work here to begin with, its the equivalent of botching a job interview. Im sorry I just take a very harsh view about this. The residency laws have helped Chicago maintain a substantial middle class presence in the city, the Chicago I am most familiar with and its probably my biggest pet peeve of all time when people think you cant be middle class with children and live in the city. If it wasnt for our residency laws Chicago might have turned out like Detroit.

McCarthy has worn out his welcome. Time for him to move on
1217am.....after reading the transfer order, I've determined that it is so late because it was just so big, lots of PAR forms to sift through and they had to be handled correctly to avoid grievences.
I would also say some phone calls had to be made by some people's "Guys" when things weren't going so smooth as they wanted.
There is lots of data entry and they also had to figure out where all the recruits had to be dumped after all the movement was made by the officers that made a move to get out.
That said--that PPO that got assigned to 016 must have some real juice--She better be prepared for 1a and 2a furlos for at least ten years.
Yes, I'm defending the people (not the Director) in Personnel--they have a thankless job and have been wonderful the two times I had to go down there on a personal matter in 2013.
12/31/2013 06:31:00 PM
You really want to do something. Ice pick two of the sidewalls. Ice pick so it doesn't make a loud noise. Two cause nobody carries two spares.
the Supt. is a Commie. No wonder he was hired in Chicago.
OT
Why the fuck are recruits being assigned to places like 014, 016, 024, etc .????
Meanwhile people with under 15 years who didn't want to bid from one ghetto to another are stuck for another year. Send all these new kids to the suck so I people with a little bit of time on can get the fuck out.
To answer your question, SCC, yes, I do believe his bullshit. Did you ever see where Garry has his Tahoe parked @ 3510? Practically on top of the Haymarket memorial statue. The guy is a complete and total douche.
Off subject, but the Tuesday Sun Times has another Burge related article complete with Burge photo. Some inaccurate facts too. So let us all remind Ed Page Editor Tom MacNamee that about 90 plus percent of current CPD Officers were like in grade/high school, or weren't born when Burge worked at Area Two.
Nothing that falls from the sewer that is his mouth surprises me.
Dart is no better.

And the benefit of that would be, what, exactly?
1030am.....normal people don't settle a fistfight with a gun--that said many fistfights among the Amish (as well as disputes over the last piece of ham, a piece of chicken, fifty cents) are settled with a gun. But then again--they (the Amish) only shoot other Amish.
It's nice to see that FOP posts our employee numbers on the transfer order on their public website. Employee numbers are like social security numbers and should be protected and not disclosed.
These guys can't do anything right.

There are a lot of people who have those placards with disabilities that are not apparent. Like my biker friend who lost his legs to a "Bouncing Betty" land mine in Viet Nam.
The Parking Meter Lease Scam was a real crime; did any of that money go to help us or other citizens. Anyone who can get away from paying those crooks, which to this day includes Richard M. Shortshanks is OK as long as they don't flount it.
If it wasnt for our residency laws Chicago might have turned out like Detroit.

You are a complete and utter idiot. Your grammar and spelling don't lend credence to your good city education rant, and your argument is pure crap.
How dare you side with socialist scum and demand we live in a city as serfs on a lord's land? If you CHOOSE to live here because you like it, fine. To be FORCED to live here by a tyrant like the mayor of this banana republic type shit hole is inexcusable. You choose to live as a slave, while we seek to live as freedom loving Americans.
Now go fetch your fucking shine box.

Who needs an Illinois Concealed Carry License?
Everyone who wants to carry a concealed firearm on his/her person in Illinois is required to have an Illinois Concealed Carry License except current peace officers and retired police officers eligible under a federally approved retired officer concealed carry program such as the Illinois Retired Officer Concealed Carry (IROCC) Program. Retired officers may be eligible to carry under either the IROCC Program or the Firearm Concealed Carry Act (430 ILCS 66).

The Second Amendment to the Bill of RIGHTS(not privelages) is your carry permit.
Are you required to have a permit for a bible or a torah???

Its the way of the CPD Some will come out of the academy and rave how great the job is and spend the whole time in 016 or 024 while others with 15 years on cant move
Dont want to hear the bs about those districts need young blood and that is what the 20% management could be used for. Also is all recruits went to busy districts, it would lower the bidding time to those good districts where younger guys could bid in

Yes, some people have 'invisible' disabilities, like heart issues, MS, etc., but this situation sounds more like a borrowed/confiscated/found placard being deliberately misused.
No one's been tried and convicted, but it DOES sound like something that should be looked into.
Oh, and trying to deflect the conversation to the meter deal is very Rahm-like. You're learning, little City Hall intern. You're learning.
There were 5 openings in 014 but only 4 people "bid" into 014.
I figured there would have been more especially since
LT. Bat-Shit Crazy D.H. will no longer be a DSS.

Why do people keep using the meaningless term "gun violence" to describe a murderer killing someone using a gun, or a robber robbing someone using a gun, or....
Shall we call rape "penis violence"?
Ban "illegal penises"?
