Blame the Gun Laws?
- At least 36 people have been shot, four of them killed, and one person was stabbed in Chicago violence since Friday, officials said.
The most recent weekend homicide took place around 2:40 a.m. Sunday when a 32-year-old man was fatally shot in the chest.
But the tragi-comical part was this quote from our fearless leader:
- In a statement, Chicago Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy said: "While Chicago continues to see reductions in crime and violence, there's obviously much more work to be done and we continue to be challenged by lax state and federal gun laws. Through our police strategies, the City's strengthened investments in youth violence prevention, and a close partnership with residents and community leaders, no one will rest until everyone in Chicago enjoys the same sense of safety."
Well Gar, your "reductions in crime" have been shown to be statistical manipulation of the highest order.
Your "police strategies" of doing-more-with-less has led to overtime bills that dwarf any in previous Chicago history as the Department has to spend more on less coverage.
Your blaming gun laws is pathetic as crime rates drop everywhere except Chicago in relation to increased gun ownership, though we hope Chicago will be catching up with that trend as Concealed Carry takes hold and gun ownership grows.
And your hope that "everyone...enjoys the same sense of safety" seems to mean that everyone experiences the despair and terror of the ghetto as wilding explodes across the business districts, drug dealing moves to all the outlying neighborhoods, and burglaries, thefts and robberies abound in areas stripped of police protection.
Congratulations - you and Rahm managed to do less with less and at a greater cost than ever before.

Is this an example of the highest order of liberal democrat management? Sure seems like it. I take it our boss is not a conservative.
If you can't dazzle them with your brilliance, baffle them with your bullshit. - Garry F. McCarthy
Garr, ask yourself this question...how many of the guns used in these shootings were from legally purchased, licensed and trained CCW owners?! A big fat goose egg.
It's not the lax state and federal laws' fault. It's the lax county court system and state prison system allowing bad people to continually be out on the streets when they should be behind bars. How about the criminals themselves?? Maybe a little blame there too? Blame the parents (or lack thereof) for raising a piece of human trash?!! How about a large segment of society, and the complete failure to live like normal, productive humans with some type of self control, morals, and a basic respect for human life. Start there, Garr. The state and federal laws are fine. The people who break them and the people who are supposed to enforce them are the problem.
"much more work to be done" How dare you. May The Good Lord Help us all.
We invite your Boss to visit us in sunny Arizona where its open carry and conceal carry without any permit required. It has been this way for several years without an increase in crime........wonder why......what would he say out here??
What do Uncle Joe Biden and our beloved Superintendent have in common?
Bravo SCC. This guy just keeps grasping at straws to explain away the failures. Rahm cant do it because the straws just slip thru his 9.5 fingers.
That's exactly what I was afraid would happen. The gun grabbers would try to conflate the efforts to enact more Constitutional gun laws, with the "rise" in crime. After they themselves falsely "massaged" the data to make crime appear lower. "Never let a crisis go to waste".
Why doesn't someone ask Mcdrunky what's wrong with the laws? He is quick to blame things but then never elaborates. And if something is wrong with the federal laws, aren't they the same everywhere? So why is it that chicago is always murder capital of Usa if the same laws are all over the country?
Enough is enough. I have one question for FOP. If a snot nosed little bitch like Shield's gives a vote of no confidence to Jody Weiss why nothing out of FOP? McDrunk has completely destroyed CPD more then any other Supt. Start earning your 205k FOP President Angelo. Vote of no confidence for the Mayor and this silly Drunk McDufas. My personal opinion, Bring Jody back immediately!!!!! Sorry SCC I know you don't agree but looking over at the cowardly, shitty exempt rank we have, no one is qualified. Glen Evans as First Deputy and Jody Weiss as Superindent.
Hey Democrats how does it feel to take it in the ass. You wanted Change? Here's the Change for you. From your mouth to your ass. Keep Changing It! Up! I am laughing my ass off. I just retired from the worst fucking police department in the country and moved to the great State of Texas. Left at 51 years old. Keep your fucking medical insurance. Bought 5 acres and a 3500 square foot house with a pool and great neighbors for 305k. Beautiful mall equal to Oak Brook. No ghetto dogs walking around but most important the Gov. Rick Perry is a true leader. Texas has a surplus. All welfare dogs have to be drug tested just like on the police department. I love my Republican state. Sold the house on the Northside for 590k and have close to 800k in Deferred Comp. Life is good. Fuck you Rham and every bullshit, white shirt connected to blowing your way to the top.
Lol, this fuckin' guy...
"Lax gun laws" is a total joke and a nice way of distracting him from having to produce real results. I mean, the city council or the media won't challenge him, so what's the big deal?
And when all is done and said - Chicago will still have a "normal" year for homicides, but he'll claim victory due to statistical manipulation. Personally I think that the statistical variation in homicides from year to year can be attributed to strong work by first responders (CFD, ER docs) more than strategery.
One thing that McStreetlights is good for is making me miss the sheer incompetence of Jody Weis.
The Chicago Police Department has officially jumped the tracks and went up the escalator
Actually, we continue to be challenged by lax state and federal gun laws. should be:
we continue to be challenged by lax PROSECUTION OF state and federal gun laws.
For more information, talk to the ex-Federal Prosecutor turned State Rep., Mr. Scott Drury, Esq. He's a veritable font of information on why the Feds have Chiraq dead last in prosecutions of criminals acts furthered by firearms... oh wait, he's never answered that question - but he does play up his "I was a prosecutor" line all the time...
PUT AND KEEP THE CRIMINALS IN JAIL, if they face a 10 year bid, this shit stops.
"In a statement, Chicago Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy said: "While Chicago continues to see reductions in crime and violence, there's obviously much more work to be done. Through our police strategies, the City's strengthened investments in youth violence prevention, and a close partnership with residents and community leaders, no one will rest until everyone in Chicago enjoys the same sense of safety."
Let's dissect this, shall we?
"While Chicago continues to see reductions in crime and violence, there's obviously much more work to be done..."
This is yet another variation of McDilusional's tacit admission that shit is spiraling out of control. His "efforts" at crime and violence reduction amount to a bandaid on a gaping wound, a finger in a gushing dike. He used a very similar, equally lame, bullshit speech the last time a warm weekend resulted in a few dozen mutts shot. COMPSTAT SAYS CRIME IS DOWN. REALITY SAYS OTHERWISE.
"...and we continue to be challenged by lax state and federal gun laws."
Uhhhh, no Garry. Quite the opposite, actually. Data has shown, countless times, that overly-strict, archaic gun laws (like the ones captive Illinoisans and Chicagoans have to abide by) actually helps perpetuate crime and violence. Defenseless law-abiding people are the easiest victims. The only "lax" part of the equation is in the sentencing guidelines (and subsequent interpretation thereof by Cook County judges) for gun crimes comitted by convicted felons in Chicago, Cook County. Take up your "federal gun laws" issue with Barry O'Bummer and his sidekick Holder (hint: "Fast & Furious" wasn't just a Hollywood movie about a crew of car thieves).
"Through our police strategies,..."
"Police strategies"?
What might those be? VRI? Vans full of clueless, untrained recruits deposited on foot on various ghetto street corners to mill aimlessly about, hands tucked in their pockets or under their vests? Contact Card blitzes? (Not anymore, Garry!) "Quality of Life" arrests in 001 and 018? Statistical manipulation through the proven farce known as "CompStat"? These "police strategies" have more leaks than a sieve.
"..., the City's strengthened investments in youth violence prevention, and a close partnership with residents and community leaders, no one will rest until everyone in Chicago enjoys the same sense of safety."
What might this "youth violence prevention" consist of? More Midnight Basketball leagues this summer? Summer jobs that I've never seen a ghetto kid actually work? Gang Summits where Meritcloutorious Bossholes wave their fingers at bad boys, warning them of consequences they'll never see? All epic fails, every last fucking one.
"...a close partnership with residents and community leaders,..."
Yeah, sure. More "Stop the Violence" marches, "Stop Killing People" posters and crocodile tears from the ladies and mean-mugging for the news cameras from the fellas with the same exact results guaranteed the next warm weekend.
And speaking of community leaders, where have the likes of omnipresent race-baiters Pfleger, Jackson, and Meeks been all weekend? That's right. Crickets.
Finally...does anyone think that McCarthy is smart enough to compose this latest statement? Hell-fucking-no, he ain't. This was penned by another out-of-touch 35th Street HouseMouse with a useless law degree, and will be regurgitated following another bloody Chicago weekend in the very near future.
Rant (OFF).
Ghetto hood rats with guns are not the same as law abiding citizens with guns. Lives of law abiding citizens should not be altered because of the few animals. As long as hood rats kill each other we are going in the right direction. Let the whole country see what these animals are capable of. Uh huh nah sayin?
AMEN.....S.C.C....AMEN !
It's not the gun laws it's the wholesale raping of the city by the corruption of the Daley family and now Rahm!
Cry broke all the while your hidden budget (TIF) explodes with cash to dole out to your campaign friends!
Someone tell McDummy that drunk and stupid is no way to go through life. Rahm better can that clown soon.
So I wonder who the next Superintendent will be this month?
IDIOT.
Another tax increase should fix this.
Gary Must continue to push the Kool-Aid that he's given from the 9 digit midget. It's what he's paid to do. He's part of the propaganda infusion squad.
He has "Obamanitis" , the inability to speak the truth, at all cost. A Common Democrat and News Media Disease

Dance Gary, Dance!
The bottom line is unless you station a cop on every corner there will continue to be homicides. I really think even doing that would still do no good; you can't prevent them no matter what you do. If I am dead-set (no pun intended) on whacking a rival gang member or killing my wife what the hell is the CPD going to stop me? NOTHING. Even with gun control in place: You can't stop Israel or Russia from making firearms and exporting them here. Look, heroin is legal in any capacity and it makes its way over here from Afghanistan everyday. You think you can stop guns from making it here? Guess again. This all starts with parents raising their kids properly in the first place. And forgive the prejudice but we all know one thing; that does not happen too well in the hood.
people are starting to realize how many ways they've been bamboozled by the politicos. a major victory was achieved for IL in 'winning' the right for concealed carry to protect yourself.
one thing at a time, one bite at a time, keep the momentum and more and more people will jump aboard.
that's how we did it in wisconsin.
Seriously. Has McCarthy really lost it this time? For him to say HIS strategies are working is insane. What if they weren't working Garry? Would we have had 72 people shot with 10 DOA? Wake up goof!
I feel safer in Russia
Anybody know when the next academy class is???? I'm waiting from the 2010 list
Hey retired guy now in Texas- go fuck yourself with your" worst police department in the nation" bullshit. I worked hard for thirtyone years and am proud of what I accomplished. I had the HONOR of working with some of the best people on the planet who worked just as hard as I did and are as proud of the Officers of the CPD as I am. Don't confuse the Command Staff which I will agree is horrible with the rank and file who , for the most part, are outstanding. These people that ARE the Chicago Police Department. Not the Command Staff. They work their asses off and put it all on the line everytime they put that uniform on. They deserve better than the way you described them.
Policing on a budget has NEVER worked! The supt and mayor are getting what they paid for and now there is crime where we and our kids used to be safe. Time for a change....they don't have to go home but HAVE TO get the hell out of here!
Wait til the Summer!!!
Gerry's best friend is old man winter. That is the only reason Shitcago has been quiet so far this year. Once old man winter takes a hike and the temp rises , so will the the body count. It was good to see Chalkie make a brief appearance this past weekend. I look forward to more visits from Chalkie and his talent of thining the herd.
If the city gave one million dollars to ceasefire i bet that would decease shootings
Too bad that nice gay man sitting on a park bench on the north side with his friend didn't have his shit with him when he got stabbed last night by an unk. offender.
Why would anyone, in this city, leave the safety of their home without a gun.
Close partnership with residents? Ha ha ha!!! Hello, have you noticed people hate the police? That's thanks to you Garry!
---->>> McPoopForBrains: "... no one will rest until everyone in Chicago enjoys the same sense of safety." <<<---
Gee thanks McJersey, but maybe you want to rephrase that when you sober up. It doesn't exactly make one feel all warm-and-fuzzy, i.e.: If everyone is dodging bullets and hiding under their blankets at night -- then everyone would *enjoy* the same sense of safety. NONE!
Though when the Skull Men are pillaging the city from the Calumet Harbor to O'Hare Airport, then 'equality' will have been achieved and you can declare victory then go the fuck home.
If that's your grand plan McCompStat, the carnage just may be worth it. /s
does anyone believe anything this fool says anymore?.....how about blaming the folks pulling the trigger on the guns?
McCarthy isn't a Shih Tzu, he's more like a Pomeranian. Pomeranians are known for always wanting to please their master.
Stop saying just what Rahm and his speech writers keep feeding you Garry!!
Rahm = haRm
When are you democRATS going to realize the cultural failure in these hooded-up ghetto wilding rats with no morals? Shitcago murder mayor can not see all the good law abiding tax paying citizens that are leaving this link card shitty. Oh well, time for new strategies.....can I get a event #
Psychologists have term to describe what Garry is pulling here. It's called "Forced Teaming." This is what a person does to manipulate someone to feel like "we're in this together".
Nice try. Sorry Garry, just you and Rahm are together on this one.
To the press members and general public that supposedly read this blog, an observation that will never see an op-ed page in any newspaper near here. The rest of the city could not care less about, and is sick and tired of the weekly bullshit carnage that occurs every weekend on the south and west sides. And the apparently useless drain on police manpower that only puts the taxpaying residents of the civilized sections of town at further risk. WE are tired of it too. These are not space aliens terrorizing you, but members of your own communities. Look in the mirror and decide if you want to do something about it, or falsely expect government to solve a problem of your making, AGAIN. Now call me a racist, classist hater as your leaders and elected officials are so wont to do. That just ends the conversation and further polarizes us. Just stay away from my home and family. I will defend them.
No one will rest?
I slept really well last night.
What does a vote of, " no confidence " accomplish?
That 's just bullshit jestering and useless rhetoric. It holds no weight and won't change the facts.
Angelo, focus on the task at hand and maybe you won't be a one termer.
We live in Chicago, we have the same gun laws they have in the rest of the city. We have had ZERO shootings in our neighborhood. NOT ONE. There are also many other communities that have the same laws and no shootings.
All these shootings have one common denominator! Has nothing to do with the gun laws!
Not one of these politicians or the press have the balls to say it. So blame it on the guns and the gun laws, instead of just telling the truth.

US Pays Half Of Gazprom's Overdue Invoice With $1 Billion Ukraine Loan Guarantee
With Ukraine no longer paying for Russian gaz, and with Gazprom making it clear Kiev has to a) first pay the overdue $2+ billion in invoice and then b) prepay some $5 billion in gas until the end of the year of Europe gets it, it was only a matter of time before the US Treasury stepped in and paid off part or all of Gazprom's demands. That time is now, when moments ago Jack Lew announced a $1 billion loan guarantee for Ukraine - very much the same way that the US provided billions in loan guarnatees for the now long overthrown Mursi regime in Egypt. And in other news, many more "costly" and "damaging" US sanctions are surely headed Russia's way any second now.

J-FLED: (aka "anonymous")
The irony! How dare you, you sanctimonious prick. If one subscribes to the dictum that "it takes one to know one", your use of the word COWARDLY takes on some credibility, even for a pathological liar.
And don't think that your deliberate misspelling of your own surname with a double "s" fools anyone.
The time has long passed for you to be selling salt water taffy on the Jersey Shore, never to return to Chicago.
GOTTA RUN!
this city sucks....the Chicago citizens do not give a fuck, they are silent, keep voting for these democratic, socialist cocksuckers and keep bitching about the police. you've gotten the city you finally wanted...fuck you.
36 hours/36 shot= 1 shot per hour
at least hats how I learned to do it in grade school.
Garry must be using CPS Everyday Math (Common Core) when he does his stats because they just guess as to what the answer should be.
Crime's Down
What else can he say? It doesn't take a genius to know whats really causing this and theres not a dam thing any supt can do to stop it.
Wait, didn't the intelligence unit and the brain trust have a program where they could predict who would get shot? How did 60 people get shot without warnings and a personal visit from Garry or one of the clout bunnies?
Rahm will not fire McCarthy,that would be admitting he made a mistake in hiring him.Rahm never makes a mistake.
Bloodiest weekend of the year and sun times buries the story on page 17 while running a puff piece on Maggie daley park on page 4. Shootings of this amount should be front page coverage. I don't give a shit about Daley's park or how they are building it. But I do care about the huge amount of taxpayer dollars being spent on it. That story does not belong on page 4. What I care about is my family's safety in this crime ridden city. Both newspapers should be running with the cooked crime stat numbers. I want to see more police patrolling my neighborhood. You see none now. Hire more police and quit screwing around. Just another disgusted citizen who will not be voting for Rahm next year. Nothing is getting better in this city and it's all lies lies lies 24/7. Start stepping up ST and Trib.
Just saw mcasshole on tv wgn spouting this shit about the gun laws this fucking moronic insipid boob has the brain of a fucking pea rham may not know this but he makes himself look like a bigger jerk off than he is by keeping this stumble bum POS as supt.the man has no credibility and a lack of education when it comes to police work .
This still happened with all the officers you have working this VRI?? Go figure, guess they don't care. Maybe let your VRI officers start working where they go, handle jobs, do stops, back officers up instead of sitting watching movies and sleeping.
Help me out people. List the usual McStreetlight response to violent crime:
- It's not the weather
- Crime is down.
- We have seen a reduction.
- Compared to last month, year, decade...
- There are too many guns.
- We still have a way to go
- We are still not satisfied.
Come on! You know them and love them. Post one of your favorite "Garryisms".
We don't have a gun problem in Chicago or Illinois. When will people fucking get this?
We have a bunch of people, predominately on south and west sides, who have no conscious. Or at least their conscious does not operate like most folk's.
These people don't care about the well being of others. It's that simple. They have no empathy. They are psychopaths, and we need to start calling them what they are.
Don't make the mistake Garry, Rahm and other liberals have made. You can't try and predict what their behavior will be by looking at a situation the way WE normally would. You need to think of the way they see things with THEIR world view. It's hard to do, but learn to do it. It may save your life some day.
Mr. McCarthy, we here who read this blog and most other thoughtful Chicagoans know exactly what your statement is - nothing more than a ploy at fear-reduction. Pointless, empty and void of any attempt to interpret the reality of the current state of affairs in this city. What will you do when this fleecing doesn't work anymore?
Dear Garry, other than endless blather, bloviating, obfuscating, and finger-pointing, there is no coherent, effective strategy. Heres the strategy, free of charge, get more Good Guys (Cops) to catch more Bad Guys (Criminals), put them in prison for longer times, provide jobs for people in Lieu of Welfare, cut Entitlements, (working people have less time on their hands and less need to become involved in criminality), enforce ALL laws including Immigration Laws, (end Sanctuary City), and quit ripping off Middle Class Taxpayers with your stupid, failed, Socialist Programs and Agenda. In other words, do the opposite of what you and your puppetmaster Boss (Mayor) are doing.
Typical democrat "straw man" game.
GMac sounds even more whiny than he used to these days. Hearing footsteps maybe ?
" youth violence initiatives"-- money to the revruns
How in hell is the gun dangerous unless some vile miscreant points it at someone and pulls the trigger.
The superintendent does not know if he was shot,fucked,powderburned,or snakebit!
At my second home in Waupaca co. everyone has guns. Neighbors keep long guns in cabinets and on racks in living rooms like works of art.
McCarthy is merely Rahm's puppet and Rahm never, ever admits he fucked up.
Kennesaw GA 1982 ordinance. In order to provide for the emergency management of the city, and further in order to provide for and protect the safety, security and general welfare of the city and its inhabitants, every head of household residing in the city limits is required to maintain a firearm, together with ammunition therefore. Gun rights activist David Kopel stated that there is evidence that this gun law has reduced the incident rate of home burglaries citing that in the first year, home burglaries dropped from 65 before the ordinance, down to 26 in 1983, and to 11 in 1984. The overall crime rate had decreased by more than 50% between 1982 and 2005. Another report observed a noticeable reduction in burglary from 1981, the year before the ordinance was passed, to 1999. A 2001 media report stated that Kennesaw's crime rates continued to decline and were well below the national average, making citizens feel safer and more secure. The city's website says that the city has the lowest crime rate in Cobb county.
Garry just needs to come right out and say the reason behind all these shootings in the 'hoods is solely due to the White Devil and the Gun Lobby. Otherwise these areas would be like Mayberry. Really.
The gun is evil but the reprobate isn't mentioned. Doesn't make common sense.
Supposed black leaders. The white community identifies direct problems that help create this carnage and are to be addressed, and we are dismissed. You are all witless.
Andy Griffith ,Dick Van Dyke, Good times, Family affair, Brady Bunch, Excellent shows from years gone past Fathers in the home and parenting. Have your black community leaders ever mentioned this tidbit ?
The problem is disproportionate numbers of young black males seem determined to live their lives without rule of law.

Does anyone listen to what the Sup says anymore? He turned into a laughing stock.
Chicago Police Supt. Garry McCarthy is a total moron! Get your head our of Rahm's backside. At one time you may have been the real police, but that was a long time ago. Now you are nothing but a lying scheming Democrat who is running scared because you actually see the writing on the wall. Bye bye Garry, your lies no longer work on anyone.....
Things will NEVER change! The libs took the fear of the police away and will never allow their people to be treated the way they deserve. Good people don't fear the police and were never meant to feel that way. Good people truly respected the people that were sworn to protect them. Bad people SHOULD fear the police, but don't anymore. The politicians and States Attorney made the police put kid gloves on and now they are complaining about the lawlessness? I will not put my freedom or my family's well being at risk for a bunch of unappreciative politicians. There is no more gray area. It is only black and white. If you are dirty and its legit, you go to jail. If not, your criminal self will be walking free to run rampant on society. Those days are over! I will defend my partner and myself and anyone that I work with, but I will not stick my neck out for anything ever again just because it "needs to be done." Give the police the same immunity that judges and States Attorneys have and I will do my part. Otherwise, you have gotten the police department that you asked for by empowering the shitheads and putting the handcuff on the wrong people...the police. Good luck, good citizens, the bad guys have more rights than you.
Is it just me or does everybody else cringe when they see McCarthy on the news. All he does is lie. Nobody has called it on him except Chicago Magazine.
OT: More missing files in another "Death Investigation" WINK WINK! WTF!
SCC, I beg you to begin deleting any comment containing, Figures lie and liars figure. Or any variation of.
Thank you.
Stay safe!
Mc Cathy , has to go Fire !!!!!!!!
The Mayor Hiding is not good!
The black leaders neglect to condemn the evil that is right in their face, so why should the rest of us care to help...the rest of us are handcuffed..

I couldn't have said it better. Well stated!
Sgt. Sanders Post Is Correct. I spent a little over 32yrs on the CPD. Those were the BEST YEARS OF MY LIFE. The men and women I had the honor to work with were great. My only regret is I took it all for granted. I wish I took the time to tell some of the great people I worked with, how much I appreciated their company. I was mostly just along for the ride, but I worked with some really great Police Officers.
Thanks for the memories.
Isn't it already against the law to murder or shoot someone? What about those laws? No, it is the gun laws that are weak, not all those other laws that go unenforced.
Knife,chain,hand saw,pick ax, hammer,all tools that can be deadly in the hands of criminal intent. The tool is not dangerous unless handled by the criminal. Maybe time to address the fool wielding the tool. Listening black community people.
Another death investigation on Belmont Ave. News says man fell down chute. A 90 year old man doesn't just fall down a garbage chute. It's either a suicide or a Murder. I'm leaning towards a murder. But area north is investigating. They will solve it.
Ever stop to consider that they are an evil culture. Their rap lyrics sure suggest so. Listen for yourself.
A lost society has no hope with worthless leaders.
With the leaders that you have you are doomed. My condolences.

When you are taught, from birth, that dad isn't around, that a check comes once a month to pay your family's bills, that the government supplies all your basic needs and then some, that everybody hates you solely because of the color of your skin, that it's okay to lie, cheat and steal to get the stuff you want, that momma doesn't know enough to care how you're doing in school, that 'cooking' means microwave or chips out of a plastic bag, that random sex is nothing more than a recreational act and there's no need to protect yourself from disease or unwanted pregnancy, that boys don't live past twenty-one anyway, so go ahead and do whatever you want... well, those are the factors you have to consider when you try to predict how a person raised like that is going to behave. And. good luck with that.
And, before you bash me for being a bleeding heart liberal, go back and read what I wrote. I'm NOT excusing it or defending it, I'm just saying some people live in a world that's so bizarre, of COURSE they grow up with no morals or decency.
McC, bo more blame for your failure. It ain't happenin nearly as bad in other States. Chicago, Illinois is a mess due to failed Leadership and sorry excuses. It's been long enough... Stop tbe Madness, or Get Out. No more sorry excuses.
Just an observer. Evident that negative comments aimed at democrats and appropriately so. Hopefully we change to majority Republican and soon. Better America.
So, when we have a "good" weekend with low shot/kill #s, it's because of his ingenious and innovative strategies.
When we have the more common "bad" weekends with high shot/killed #s, it's the law's fault.
Hmm. Weren't the laws the same during the "good" weekends?
characterize, describe, explain, the folks responsible for the criminal behavior........to the media: report it!......
I like McDumbfcuk's logic where some thug has no problem breaking the law against murder and the hundreds of gun laws already on the books but that same thug would gladly obey some new magical gun law.
- Concerned Citizen
Garry just implemented another crime stradegy, be ordered an inch of snow today lol
I'm not one for negative comments on here but come on McCarthy. Even Mark Suppelsa on channel 9 news at 5 gave McCarthy a shot. He said in essence that McCarthy had the same old story regarding a violent weekend. Calling for gun control. I think even the main stream media in Chicago might have had enough of McCarthy and his crime is down song and dance.
Did the new administration at FOP terminate Paul Geiger? If so who is replacing him and who handles legal matters now?
If they had their way and all guns were banned, then what? Implant tracking devices on all citizens? Why don't they address the root cause of the crime instead of scare the ignorant liberals with the spectre of guns?
(I'm not a conservative, by the way - but you can bet I'll vote for anyone-but-the-machine in local elections)
More Taxpayer Dollars spent, with less positive results as other cities and states. The Democrat way. Potholes? What potholes? Crime? What crime?

WELCOME TO CHICAGO
Perfect Chicago Motto SCC - Do less with less and cost more!
Believe it or not, the Sup believes that the rank and file love him. His people tell him that all the time. A vote of no confidence would destroy his narcissistic ego.
As long the killings stay away from neighborhoods of the tax payer. Nothing will change. We will keep voting these fools in because look there no murders in the voting community so they're doing a good job. Right?... Right?
Isn't it time to get rid of rule zero ?
"...no one will rest until everyone in Chicago enjoys the same sense of safety."
Actually, this is the one bit of McCarthy's twaddle that's actually true.
Hey, let's ease up on the alcoholic part of a really well rounded D-Bag. This is still one of the few jobs left where U really can B a "functioning alcoholic" and remain employed. As a matter of fact, U can move on up w/an alcohol saturated brain.
What the hell is in the Inspector's bag? That "problem drinker" has the ability to gig & doc U'r pay. How many Dog Styles does it take 2 do the trick for that guy?
"Iron Mike" was seen running once. Once! Like Johnny Dangerously. Where was he running? In 2 a bar.
He'll cash out better than most of us can even fathom.
Now let those nice people try & fix 019 w/an X/O that hasn't been on the street in God knows how long, Eli is at his wits end, and Rosebrock, Kenny, nor Eli can stop the robberies. At least ALL 3 can honestly say that "Iron Mike's" management skills or lack thereof didn't help much.
C'mon, Iron Mike, U have 2B damn close to 55. It's time to move U'r misery somewhere else.
U can take KF in C/Os office w/U cuz no one has ever seen her in a squad car. No one. All U'r house mouse friends....JE and of course U'r now 016th District girlfriend w/all the make up too. Don't worry Bald Barb will always drop a dime on some1 for U. That's until her lift stops picking her up to & fro. U that truck is "Ram Tough."
All you peeps standing behind McDummy on the dais looked fairly uncomfortable. Maybe because you knew he through you were ready to jump into the hamster wheel with him?
Switzerland invented guns - every man, woman, and child owns a gun. So why is there no "gun violence" in Switzerland? Why are the guns asleep in Switzerland yet wide awake in Chicago?

You're half right..... nearly all murders occur in the "voting community" because only those communities bother to vote, because only those communities get all the free shit their pampered masters provide at the expense of the actual taxpayers in this city.
Taxpayers don't bother to vote because they don't want to be bothered with a corrupt and pathetic system as is Chicago, so they couldn't give a shit who the ghetto elects Mayor.
Right about now, the ghetto violence and property crime is exploding in the taxpayer hoods, it just hasn't hit enough people yet to wake their asses up, but as the "voting community" keeps moving their shit into the taxpayer hoods sooner or later the people who foot the bill for all the police they don't see in their hood anymore will start listening to whomever's gonna protect them from the ever growing animal in this city.

Break out the Fioretti for Mayor signs. Remember for all of his faults he was the only Alderman to stand with us.
4/14/2014 05:32:00 PM
Most of us would vote for Fioretti if we thought he had a chance. The thing Fioretti needs to do is start appealing to the rest of the voting base in the city in order that he may garner enough support among the rest of the city other than just public employees.
Once we feel Fioretti has the support of the non-public sector and at least a fair portion of the true voting block in this city (the ghettos) then we'll throw major support behind him.
Until then, he'll just split our vote out and it will mean nothing.
You've got work ahead of you Bob, start getting support from the rest of the city. And as for us, don't be surprised if he has to court all the other communities in this city in order to gain that support. In the end, Bob could muster us all in a rally to rid this city of the tax thief and corporate scumbag that is Emanuel.
Then maybe we'll have a mayor that looks after every community in this city, not just pandering to the elite who steal our taxes by the millions for profit while ignoring the actual taxpayers in this city.

Have to say I worked for some pretty good bosses. You know which ones you can count on and which ones who you can make their life miserable.
Last note...okay, "everybody" is done with McCarthy...we all get that message. So what are your ideas other than 'good parenting' as thats obviously not working either?
I saw McCarthy on the News today. If I had to sum him up in one word I would say, "pathetic".
Chicago will never move forward with the lack of leadership it has in the police force leadership structure.
McCarthy may be the poster boy for the CPD ineptness, but there are many others to blame as well.
Time to get rid of the deadwood. McCarthy as well as 7-10 others in leadership posts.
This will not be done by Rahm because he would not want a strong police leadership in position. The cops should all vote in elections, then maybe you could get better leadership.
Not a LEO, JAFO

Thank you.

I second that. And the one about moving the deck chairs on the Titanic. Please.
On a totally different topic; has anyone else noticed how horrendous the grammar has become in the FOP newsletter?
McCarthy says new strategy on the way you just need to BO-LIEVE!
Help me out people. List the usual McStreetlight response to violent crime:
- It's not the weather
- Crime is down.
- We have seen a reduction.
- Compared to last month, year, decade...
- There are too many guns.
- We still have a way to go
- We are still not satisfied.
Come on! You know them and love them. Post one of your favorite "Garryisms".
"Hey bartender, I'll have another."
Knife,chain,hand saw,pick ax, hammer,all tools that can be deadly in the hands of criminal intent. The tool is not dangerous unless handled by the criminal. Maybe time to address the fool wielding the tool. Listening black community people.
4/14/2014 05:10:00 PM
No, actually the tool is dangerous regardless. Just becauae a 7 year old doesn't have the intention to kill someone doesn't mean I'm going to toss him my gun. If guns don't kill people-- or the "tool" isn't dangerous, is like saying a toaster doesn't toast bread, people toast bread, which is some what true, but only with the help of a toaster (or people). So guns DO kill people (or "tools" are dangerous) but only with the help of people doing so and vice versa.
Believe it or not, the Sup believes that the rank and file love him. His people tell him that all the time. A vote of no confidence would destroy his narcissistic ego.
I find that very hard to believe, he knows he's despised by rank and file. I've had close encounters of the Garry kind and never once did this jag even make eye contact with me.
There is no hope with idiots like the mayor and McCarthy in power.
Thanks Chicago Demorats.

4/14/2014 05:32:00 PM
I'm not going to bash you. What you wrote is correct. But why do we keep putting politicians in office that foster this lifestyle?
Me, I believe it's the new slavery. Blacks still have their 'place' for one Party. They are kept in this lifestyle and handed scraps while the political 'master' gets rich. Have you ever met a poor career politician?
If you think I am talking about the Republicans, you are incorrect. They were the party that freed the slaves. The Democrats opposed it. They opposed desegregation too. Keeping them in their political back pocket is the new slavery. The Republicans will have to free them again by getting them off the Government crutch. It will be difficult and they will be called racist.
People forgot Ted Kennedy's off handed comment that minus a few years, Barak Obama would have been serving the drinks at the Presidential Inauguration. Voters have short memories.

You got it right. The superficial resemblance, the fact that they have two arms, two legs, and a head fools a lot of people.
They live in a parallel universe that is beyond our ken.
When you are taught, from birth, that dad isn't around, that a check comes once a month to pay your family's bills, that the government supplies all your basic needs and then some, that everybody hates you solely because of the color of your skin, that it's okay to lie, cheat and steal to get the stuff you want, that momma doesn't know enough to care how you're doing in school, that 'cooking' means microwave or chips out of a plastic bag, that random sex is nothing more than a recreational act and there's no need to protect yourself from disease or unwanted pregnancy, that boys don't live past twenty-one anyway, so go ahead and do whatever you want... well, those are the factors you have to consider when you try to predict how a person raised like that is going to behave. And. good luck with that.
Bullshit. Do you know how many impoverished immigrants with nothing first came to this country from homelands destroyed by war, failed economies, and religious persecution, and yet they still managed to find work raise families and better themselves? Welfare didn't even exist back then. Everyone worked- even the kids because they HAD to in order to live. They didn't kill each other over a pair of shoes, or some other bs reason. And they were hated, not because of the color of their skin, but because of their nationality. Now you have a segment of society that gets EVERYTHING for free, and access to numerous social programs to help, support, and sustain these people and they don't have to lift a finger for any of it. When you have no responsibilities and loads of time and free money, you tend to find trouble and stay in trouble, especially when everyone around you makes excuses for your behavior and tell you it is not your fault. Every species of animal has an innate sense of not destroying it's own for the sake of ensuring the survival of the species; the west side and south side of Chicago are an exception to this rule.

Your newly elected prez who hasn't seen the inside of a district for 7-yrs or so has terminated Geiger and Herbert.
Rehired the old law firm from the Nolan regime that will probably charge double what we are paying now. Awesome isn't it.
Herbert, one of the best attorneys we've ever had. Good luck all, we're going to need it.
Angelo is Lil Mikey on steroids.
Before you campaign for Fioretti, google his background. He made a fortune dragging police officers through the mud in lawsuits. He is on the same ladder as G. Flint Taylor, Loevy & Loevy and the rest of the communist, police-hating asshole attorneys.

You didn't refute my point, you just PROVED my point. And, you conveniently left out my paragraph saying the kids have an upbringing that fosters bizarre behaviors outside of what we know as normal.
Those generations of immigrants you're ranting about came here and made good because they were raised to work hard, value family, be responsible and rely on themselves, not the government.
So, you're basically arguing my point for me.
No, actually the tool is dangerous regardless. Just becauae a 7 year old doesn't have the intention to kill someone doesn't mean I'm going to toss him my gun.

Actually, I did pass the last promotional exam and was on the list. I left prior to being promoted again because I grew extremely frustrated with the job and our so called leaders. All of which has nothing to do with the incompetence of our horrible Command Staff.
I have guns in my safe that can't kill anyone unless I load them, point and shoot at someone. So really the tool isn't dangerous regardless. That 7 year old that you mentioned. With an empty gun that child can't hurt himself, unless he drops it on his foot...
Send this Rahm 'yes man' along with his agenda, back to the Bronx. What a despicable display of propaganda this clown spews.
