Down, I Tell You, Down!

  • Two people were shot to death and 14 others were wounded in city shootings from Friday afternoon into Saturday morning.
  • Three people were injured in separate shootings on the south and northwest sides, police said.
We confess, we are amused that the Tribune has taken it upon themselves to specifically say "Three people injured in separate shootings..." We suppose that they've realized every number that came out of HQ for the past 3 years was, of course, horseshit, and they look like morons reporting it.

The Sun Times shooting map is filling up nicely - and by nicely, we mean every single shooting was south of Chicago Avenue and East of Cicero as of yesterday.

OT: read in the paper about the guy from Lincoln park that accidentally (recklessly) discharged his firearm in his apartment. Said police charged him with "failing to register his guns." Is it me, or didn't they do away with the whole gun registration? How can they charge this guy with that. Just wondering.

OT question: Doctor in Lincoln Park area gets pinched for firing gun in condo that goes thru wall. But is charged with "Unregistered firearms." Thought registration was repealed with the new CCW law. Saw where CPD Directive said not to enforce.

It only bothers them because they can't say "a pair" of shootings "in such-and such 'neighborhood'."

I weep at the carnage that occurs on our streets on a daily basis. Does no one realize we are killing off the bright young men and occasional woman who will lead us into the future? These are the young people that would have become our future doctors, engineers, scientists, intellectuals and artists. Our broken society is allowing these youth to die from a bullet, rather than live to lead us into a glorious future. Somehow our generation and the baby boomers before us have failed them. Our CPD had failed them.

Mr. McCarthy, I'm not a cop, I'm a civilian. So I don't have an axe to grind. I want you and all the Sun Times and Trubune writers to see my comment when you read this.

You sir are embarrassing. You say only what Emmanuel wants you to say. Case in point - conceal carry. You bad mouthed it from the get go. Making someone like me who can legally carry now, sound like a bad guy. I and hundreds - soon to be thousands - other Chicagoans, who legally carry are doing just fine. Have you seen massive problems like you and your owner predicted? No you haven't. And you won't.

There will be some fools for sure making me and others look bad, but for the majority of us, we will responsibly carry and thereby protect ourselves and our familys under the mantle of our constitutional right to bear a firearm. Please go on the record and admit you we're wrong about all the negative comments you said about conceal carry. Look at this fucked up city full of evil criminals willing to kill one another and any one that gets in their way and admit conceal carry is a right we civilians have.

Be a German Sheperd or a Doberman Pincer or any other breed you choose. Just please stop being a Shitsu - get off of Emmanuel's lap and stop being a lapdog.

Go back to out of grade slips and each Commander should designate assignment of recruits to those hard working officers. More foot posts in hot spot locations. Put officers in pairs and give them a vehicle on their post. Be on your post and start taking names and locking them up for everything.

Hey state elected demorats if you order the cars correctly, many companies called "up fitters" will install all equipment properly, like the city did with the explorers they had political hacks install the equipment which in turn caused many electrical problems on the vehicles.

You buy these new cars and they sit, in the article it talks about how license plate fees are used to buy new state police vehicles, is Susie Mendoza the city clerk who collects more than 100 million in pathetic city sticker applying any of this money to CPD to buy all new vehicles? At least then the city clerk would have a purpose, besides duplicating the jobs revenue already does!

Survivor from first Fort Hood tragedy denied 10 min. with Obama; fundraiser was more important

[...]..Retired Staff Sgt. Alonzo Lunsford has been an articulate voice for the victims of the 2009 shooting frenzy that killed 13 and injured 32 others.

Lunsford, who was shot seven times during the incident, wrote Denis McDonough, Obama’s chief of staff, saying,
according to ABC News:

As you may know, the President and high-ranking members of the military promised me, my family and the other Fort Hood terror attack survivors that the federal government would ‘make them whole.’ After more than four and one-half years, however, the government has yet to make good on this promise. We believe that if the President could hear, first-hand, our plight and our mistreatment at the hands of his bureaucracy, that he would take the steps needed to set things right. Therefore, we ask for ten minutes of his time.

The government has classified the 2009 shooting as workplace violence, despite compelling evidence it was a terror attack.

According to ABC News, the White House responded to Lunsford’s request by saying:

After receiving your letter yesterday, and consulting with the White House Counsel’s office, we forwarded your letter to the Departments of Justice and Defense, who are leading the government’s efforts to ensure the victims of the 2009 shooting receive the justice and benefits they deserve. Unfortunately, we were unable to meet your specific request for a meeting with the President yesterday. ..

Two hours after Wednesday’s memorial at Fort Hood, the president joined House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid at a Democratic fundraiser in Houston.

18 shot, 2 fatally, since Saturday afternoon

http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/chi-2-shot-in-separate-shootings-20140412,0,2196005.story

When you total Friday night to Monday morning, we are probably gonna have 50 shootings.

After rain passed through about 3:30 this AM, weather should be stable for next several hours. Then --

"A cold front will slowly settle southeast through the Chicago area Sunday with a good chance of showers and thunderstorms. Ahead of the front (to the south and east) winds will be south to southwesterly with temperatures in the 70s, while behind the front (to the north) the winds will be north to northeast and temperatures in the upper 40s to middle 50s.

"Heavy rains are likely Sunday night into Monday, as cold air rides northeast winds into northeast Illinois and northwest Indiana. Indications are that Monday will be a damp chilly day with occasional rain, possibly even mixed with some wet snow at times. Storm total rainfall could end up exceeding two to three inches at many locations in the Chicago area – especially to the north. Precipitation will be slow to end – probably continuing off and on Monday night, before ending early Tuesday."

Getting bad when you resort to prognostication. So we get a Giant Washdown; it will all start up again afterwards.

I wonder how far into the bottle Garry fell this weekend...

Which gets me to thinking. Is Gary's - ahem- weekend drinking directly proportionate to the weekend violence? Because if you were to buy what Fort Fellatio is peddling, Garry would be as sober as a judge (well, maybe not a Cook County judge).

Or has McJustLeaveTheBottleOnTheBar resorted to hoisting whiskey every time some pillar of the community catches lead? Would kinda put a new spin on "shot for shot", anyway.

This is a joke, right? The youth of Englewood are future doctors, engineers, scientists, intellectuals and artists? Let me tell you something. The youth of Englewood can barely speak proper English, let alone process a scientific thought. Their math skills are limited to converting grams to ounces so they can sell weed. Their artistic skills are limited to whatever comes out of a spray paint can and goes onto a wall. And their engineering skills? Yeah.

HO-HO-HO

Chicago's Board of Trade and Chicago's Merch Exchange has just been hit with a fraud lawsuit in Federal court.

City is corrupt to it's core.



http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2014-04-13/cme-sued-giving-high-frequency-traders-peek-market-2007

Specifically, from the lawsuit:

Throughout the Class Period, Defendants not only permitted the HFTs to see price and market data, including open orders, market orders before all other market participants and trader saw the price and market data, they permitted the HFTs to execute trades using this same non public data and order information before all other traders and market participants. In so doing, the Defendants engaged in a fraud on the marketplace, deceptive practice and failed to maintain a marketplace that is free from market disruption and market manipulation.



Throughout the Class Period, the Defendants concealed the fact that they were not providing a marketplace free of market manipulation because they were allowing the HFTs to trade based upon non-public information, specifically, the non-published and unexecuted orders of all other users of the CME and CBOT. In so doing, the Defendants failed to provide a marketplace that is free from market manipulation and established an unequal and two-tiered marketplace all the while inviting and soliciting the use of its financial trading instruments for profit.

Well, duh. Apparently it took the general public a Michael Lewis book to reread out post from October 2012 in which we showed that an estimated over 30% of CME revenues were made from HFT - in other words from selling proprietary data in direct feeds to high-paying subscribers, that hits collocated servers ahead of the consolidated tape.



HFT = High Frequency Traders.

Que Rahm to the rescue like in the Accretive Health ordeal that failed I guess.

Prepare for the "hurting jobs" speeches..etc..etc.. Not to mention what happens to tax revenue should everyone run for the exits.

Hey SCC I'm not psychic however I can predict that every warm weekend in chicago will result in a minimum of 10 people shot. Do you want to know why? I'll tell you why.. It's because CPD's current strategy sucks! Hey Suntimes and Tribune you need to start reading between the lines. You have to remember that every person shot is a potential homicide it just depends upon where the bullet is placed. 35 shot this weekend could very well have been 35 dead instead... That is why Mcgoofy's strategy sucks my friends.

Cuthbert J. Twillie what's the point of talking about where people get their names from, when more importantly people are shooting each other with no respect for life or living in peace,if your block was shot up and your name was Cuthbert and you were shot,I might wonder why are they shooting each other on Cuthberts block not why his momma named him that? If and when people are acting like savages and killing each other then there is concern,not their names but their actions,we both know different groups name their children differently,it may be ethnic or environment, I certainly don't want to drive down certain blocks in Chicago known for shooting,but how they are named instead of how they are raised,thinking guns ,gang banging, and violence solves problems is far more important ! It is all a shame and Sad,but so is criticizing their names in the same breathe as the smoking gun is holstered!

I'm a civilian but I have many CPD friends as well as an older brother who recently retired from CPD. I watch McCarty and Emanuel do the whole dog and pony show about Concealed Carry going to make things even worse in this city and my first thought is:

Considering Illinois became the last state to legalize concealed carry combined with the fact Chicago has become the worst war zone of any city in this country WITHOUT concealed carry, shouldn't both McCarthy and Emanuel resign immediately for their failures to stop these shootings? Let's assume for a quick second they're right about concealed carry (only 1 second though). If that were true, then they've had a huge advantage compared to other US cities and their city is by far the most dangerous in the country.

In the 'hood, you tax-exempt!

Man brandished gun after getting mad about soda tax

5:38 p.m. CDT, April 13, 2014

"A West Garfield Park man was ordered held on no bail Sunday after...he brandished a gun at convenience store employees and customers because he was angered over the tax he had to pay for a bottle of Pepsi.

"Nahshon X. Shelton, 36, of the 4200 block of West Caroll Avenue, is charged with unlawful use of a weapon by a felon and other counts ...took place at Madison Grocery and Beauty in the 4000 block of West Madison Street...

"Shelton entered the store and was angry over being charged 22 cents in tax for a $1.79 2-liter bottle of soda

“(Because this) is my neighborhood, I’m tax-exempt,” he said...

Shelton returned to the store... carrying a Gucci satchel, from which he pulled out a loaded gun,...He began waving the gun around “while yelling that he was going to shoot and kill everyone in the store...”

“I’m going to shoot you in the head three times!” he said,

"The incident was captured on video surveillance... Police responded and recovered the gun, which had one round in the chamber, eight rounds in one magazine and five in a second clip..

"Shelton was also charged for not having a firearm owner’s identification card..."

The youth of Englewood can barely speak proper English, let alone process a scientific thought. Their math skills are limited to converting grams to ounces so they can sell weed. Their artistic skills are limited to whatever comes out of a spray paint can and goes onto a wall. And their engineering skills? Yeah. They can engineer a CTA train right onto an escalator with no problem.

Maybe he was a little off with some of the people he lays blame on, but he speaks some truth. The last couple of generations has failed this generation. "It takes a village to raise a child"? "Children are the future"? Our future is fucked. Think about it: the baby who was just injured was born to a gangbanging- shoot while my baby and babies mother are in the car- father and a mother who probably knows nothing about motherhood. That kid is fucked in life. hope for the better, but I know reality. Kids in the ghetto have parents DEPENDING on them to strike it rich because they didn't do shit while they had the chance. I could go all in to the reasons why that equates to drug dealing/wanting easy money fast, but thats another day and I really dont feel like it lol. These kids are fucked and nothing can be done by outside parties.

+++++ 4/13/2014 07:23:00 PM -- Cuthbert J. Twillie what's the point of talking about where people get their names from, when more importantly people are shooting each other with no respect for life or living in peace .... +++++

Dear 07:23:00 pm,

What's the point? Well as *they* say, 'If you have to ask ....' Okay, seriously, I guess you never heard the phrase, 'You can tell a lot about a person from their name'. It also tells a lot about that person's parent(s) and/or family.

Truth is, a fucked up name can and will ruin a person's life. Even in today's politically correct world of speech police, and where everyone's afraid of offending someone, and where there's a class of people whose life is to be perpetually offended.

Note I'm not talking about Ethnic or Family Names but the real goddamn tongue twisters made up out of thin air. The parent who gives their kid a moniker like that should be jailed for child abuse.

Though on 'Etnic Names' it beats the hell out of me why Blacks will give/or have Arab Names when its the fucking Arabs who were the original slave traders/owners and still are slave owners in Africa today. Not to mention the Arabs going Genocide Mode on 'infidel' Black Africans like it's a fucking sport.

By the way, in case you couldn't guess Cuthbert J. Twillie isn't my real name, a shock I know, and I also do not look like President James Madison -- I'm taller (rotfl).
[ps: I'm sorry you were given a funny name, please don't go postal in a WalMart]

That time will never come. Am retired now,but saw the same thing when I was active. We had dogs too, but when a 10-1 came in all the guys moaning about not doing anything anymore on the job started rolling. The few dogs that wouldn't ,their partners would respond taking them along.
