Trib Continues to See No Evil

  • A trio of thieves snatched several high-end handbags this afternoon before fleeing in an SUV that was waiting outside Bloomingdale's on Michigan Avenue.

    About 3:30 p.m., a man and two women entered the store located on the 900 block of North Michigan Avenue and grabbed several handbags, said Police News Affairs [...].

    The trio ran out of the store and fled in a white SUV, he said.

    The group was described as between the ages of 18 to 25.

    As of 5:45 p.m., no one was in custody for the thefts and police were investigating.
Well heck, we've just about got 'em surrounded. Word is that the detectives have about 200 suspects upstairs all waiting for lineups. Now if they could just find an ET to process.

Were they black?
Not, were they African American?
Not, were they Obama's sons and daughter?
Not, were they former CPS students?
Not, were they registered Democrats?

The city is falling apart, and the treasonous media is to blame!

Surely you jest? A couple of empty womens purses? File a report and forget about it. The store can afford the loss and the CPD has bigger fish to catch.

If these handbags were so high end, how come the store just had them laying around and so easy to snatch? Why were they not better secured? Sounds like negligence on the part of the store. Probably just some poor young family that needed the money to buy food for their starving baby, or to put big sister through collage.

All those store have been told to hire security at the doors.

They always respond with a lame answer.

Corporate does not feel that the image of security guards(armed) fit the image of the company.

So Gary, quit sweating your tact Lts chasing down shoplifter. Its bad enough all those phone ROBBERY S are classified as thefts.

Have the mayor call these places on the carpet. It is taking up resources and time to police private stores!

"White SUV" but no race in the offenders?

The Tribune continues to confirm their racist agenda every time they fail to identify offenders. In their eyes, It is more important to be "politically correct" than actually report the news in an unbiased fashion.

If the Northshore New Trier teens rose up and started pillaging Michigan Ave., I bet there would be a description then.

As usual no offenders description it's getting really more pathetic with the liberal scared rags,except for the readers Ben javorsky we have no real journalists. Let's hope concealed carry can thin the herd, speaking of herd wonder how much Jackie heard dales overpaid press secretary who retired with Daley, but is still employed by Daley is taking err making now if memory serves me right she was given a huge salary increase around the Vanecko incident, and draws a $140,000 a year pension, and another six figure salary from Daley! Wonder if she will get on the bus? Was she not the owner of a building where drugs were being sold and given carte Blanche treatment when CPD hit the house?

In general, merchandise on N. Michigan Ave is not secured like it were in a West Side Rib Shack & Liquor Store; you know, behind an inch and a half of lexan, you pay through the revolving windows and get your brown paper bag as it turns around. Soggy piece of white bread in sauce on the bottom.

If sane folk -- and people ;) -- think the Lamestream Media has lost its mind now in their pc reporting by omitting race -- which has backfired and is now a big joke, just wait. And not long, the perpetually offended are going bonkers over the silliest shit one can imagine. Just see the Daily Caller for the articles.

As such, somewhere in the Chicago metro area a Liberal Moonbat's head is exploding and is penning a response to the Trib's article, i.e.:

+++ '... a man and two women entered the store located on the 900 block of North Michigan Avenue and grabbed several handbags ... +++

I'm offended, harrumph!...harrumph! How dare the Trib write that. It's sexist, misogynistic, chauvinistic, and just all around 'anti-woman'. I hope that NOW gets all over the Tribune for the hateful reporting and saying 'women'! Their sex isn't relevant to the crime!! Why not just report 'three people'?!?!?

+++ 'The trio ran out of the store and fled in a white SUV.... The group was described as between the ages of 18 to 25.' +++

Again, I'm offended, harrumph!...harrumph! That part is SUV-phobic and ageist! Why is SUV mentioned? Does the Tribune think that maybe it was the gang leader?? If not, why mention it? Just report a vehicle was used! To boot the write 18 & 25, why? Does the Trib hate young people? It's not relevant for the public to know that.

Harrumph!...harrumph!...harrumph!...harrumph!

OK - here is the plan.

You do a full stakeout with shotguns and use one of the stores as "bait".

You wait til they just step out and then you open fire continuously. Shoot until they look like Ghetto Swiss.

Film it like they filmed the "Wild Bunch" (slow motion) and then show it in EVERY CPS school saying it is mandatory education to end shoplifting.

Okay, the answer seems lame but consider the opposite - the store has security at the door, and the guard gives the fish-eye to the three Amish honor students who enter. That store would get a great write-up for "profiling" and Rev. Jesse would round up a rent-a-mob to protest. The pilferage may be less costly than the accusations of racism. Sad but true.

(OT) spielman in today's suntimes pins down rahm but the dance liar sidesteps question: about pension!

Q. Your relationship with city unions is very difficult. Police and fire have been waiting two years for a contract. Teachers are on the warpath. They’re all bracing for pensions cuts.

A. You’ve highlighted police and fire. I have a lot [union] support because I’ve actually made changes at McCormick Place. ... We have more hotels coming, more people, more shows coming. UNITE [HERE], a labor organization that represents hotel workers, didn’t endorse me last time. But, they’ve already supported [his re-election] Why? Because they see the tough decisions I was willing to take on to bring changes that have helped. ... I made a lot of changes so we can get recycling citywide and people have now added more jobs. When you say you have a problem with labor, that’s not accurate, and you know it. There’s a lot of support I have from working men and women because they see the jobs they have gotten because of the changes we have brought.



Q. But, city unions are bracing for what you’re about to have to do. A $600 million payment [to shore up police and fire] pensions. You haven’t been willing to discuss revenue because you say it has to come with reform. Yet, union leaders tell me if you put revenue on the table, reform would come because they would see you were serious.

A. I said revenue and reform and that’s exactly what we did at the Park District. And every worker at the Park District now has a secure pension. I’ve already said revenue is part of the solution. I already met `em half-way. The other half is to come forward with the reforms. ... I want our public employees to have a secure retirement, which they don’t have today. And I want our taxpayers and our economic base to have something they can afford. We just are slowly but surely finally emerging out of this recession. You jam taxes up too fast or too high, you’ll throw this entire economy into a recession. And it doesn’t matter what digital new hub you have, people will flee.

I was a private corporate investigator on north Michigan avenue after my retirement. We has so many gangs of pickpockets working the area I could not keep track of them. They would prey on the families of patients at northwestern hospital, the surround restaurants and shops with abandon. They worked the hotels and stores and when confronted did not shy away from a little violence. And, surprisingly, they were all black. Little was done either by private security forces or by the police.

Who are they selling these high end purses to? That's what they get for collaborating with hoodlums. Hoodlums follow females to their "high end" stores, point her out and say, she's a thief," They say, "come on in and get her" and they come on in and "case the joint" then steal almost everything or come back and steal. This happened to Barney's of New York, Marshall Field in Water Tower, etc. Karma is a Bush.

I vaguely remember not to long ago that descriptions of the man that went on the Grand Theft Auto 5 like crime spree that killed a young boy on the southside were not immediately released. The trib is even late to give description on Amber Alerts other than vehicle and victim descriptions. Tribune just doesn't give them, white or black, majority of the time

Interesting conclusion. And your facts supporting it are????

Just because someone works hard, saves their money, doesn't blow it on the ponies or streetcorner sex, but buys real estate and becomes a landlord, YOU decide they're a slumlord?

For your information, one of his tenants was interviewed on tv and he talked about what a great landlord the guy was, always immediately taking care of any little problem and always concerned and helpful.

Stop tearing people down when you don't know anything about them or their circumstances. It doesn't make you look smarter or better. It makes you look stupid and petty.

Many times, maybe most, the media doesn't name the race if the offenders are black. We know that. Keep beating that drum so the public knows that too.

A producer on the TV show COPS said they purposely film more white criminals for the same reason, if they filmed to truly reflect the crime, they are afraid of being criticized for filming mostly black criminals.

Ever since I came on the job the Daily Bulletin has been at least 98% black criminals in the wanted photos. Every cop knows that. Same with the special bulletins they used to put out on burglars, pickpockets, stickup guys etc.

The media would never print that stuff, they never would print the truth about crime. Too afraid of the "racist" tag.
