More "Chiraq" References
- During the first two weeks of nice temperatures in Chicago this year--which included Easter weekend--the city was beset with some 100 shootings with nearly a dozen dead. This intense violence has earned the Windy City a brand new nickname bestowed by its own citizens: "Chiraq."
Over Easter weekend, there were 45 separate shooting victims in Chicago, four of which died. The previous weekend saw 35 shootings in only 36 hours that resulted in several more deaths. There were even more shootings and deaths during the intervening days between the weekends, as well. All this violence has turned Chicago into a war zone.
- Meanwhile, not a single American solider died in either Iraq or Afghanistan in March, and only 13 died in the previous two months. On the other hand, 76 Chicagoans have been murdered thus far in 2014.
When they put it that way, it sounds really bad - it's surprising Rahm and Garry still have jobs.

Rahm was sent to us by a higher being.
We the people just reinforced his decision.
No, I'm not talking about God. ...someone in dc.
This Is CNN Breaking News. Hello?Is my mike on? What happened to the feed?
"WHITE GUILT" is a catastrophically debilitating disease.
We need a huge influx of Section 8 housing in Wilmette, Winnetka, Kenilworth, Glencoe, Highland Park, Lake Forest, Lincolnshire and Barrington Hills.
Will Chief Keef appear at Ravinia this summer? Can I buy tickets with my LINK card?
The constant comparison between this junior varsity wannabe-hardcore ghetto shithole and fighting in a combat zone is irritating and disrespectful to combat vets.
"Over Easter weekend, there were 45 separate shooting victims in Chicago, four of which died."
Umm *scratches head/squinches eyes/curls mouth* what the hell happened to the other 5 people that died over the weekend?
"...it's surprising Rahm and Garry still have jobs." -- SCC
...not to mention a City Council that busies itself banning plastic grocery bags in the middle of a bloodbath.
"Gordon Dancy is the person behind the high-density plastic grocery bag that is used today...Dancy was concerned about the destruction of trees to manufacture paper bags...he believed plastic bags would not only save money, but also be better for the environment.
[...so now Chicago takes a giant step backwards...]
"...the plastic grocery bag was introduced to the supermarket industry as an alternative to paper bags.
"Traditional plastic shopping bags are made from polyethylene, which is produced from the monomer ethylene. In the U.S, ethylene is primarily made of ethane, a waste by-product obtained from natural gas refining, meaning that domestically produced plastic bags are not made of oil."

No more than two weeks ago we had like 74 or 76 murders based off department numbers. Shouldn't the body count be in the high 80s or low 90s by now?
Rumor has it Garry is gone. Just a matter of paperwork at this time. CNBC basically reported this.
I have no pity for the cowardly politicians who still refuse to acknowledge the root causes of this violence. May they reap what they sow.
It's not really surprising that Rahm still has a job. And he'll probably get re-elected. The rent-a-voters just vote as they're told, and the majority of remaining voters buy into the prevailing nonsense: 1. shitty gun laws are to blame 2. more programs are needed. Either that, or they really don't give a shit.
Ain't no pity in bloodshed city....
Shotgun! Shoot him for he runs out....
Yadayadayada!
Now for something important, I guess we have to shop in Skokie, Niles, and Harwood Heights to get plastic bags now. Assholes.
I tell people from out of town not all of Chicago is "Chiraq". Chicago has some beautiful non violent areas.
Only the blockbusted, destroyed, gang/drug infested minority neighborhoods are Chiraq.
I wish the media would tell it like it is.
Both Rahm and Garry are living examples of the Peter Principle.
They have reached higher than what their skill sets can handle.
A higher office for Rahm in the future? Dream on.
Sarcasm said: Are FOID cards required in Afganistan? Must be mag. capacity limits that explains the difference. Are so-called assault weapons banned in ......? Well, you get the picture? Oh, all public and private places are posted. Thanks for the sociological explanation.
But CNN is not state media . . . right?
Chicago Tribune's website
Emails show Emanuel aides, producers coordinated CNN 'Chicagoland'...
If it seemed as though some scenes of CNN's documentary series "Chicagoland" were coordinated by Mayor Rahm Emanuel 's City Hall and the show's producers, that's because they were.
should it be.....King Rahm?, or Prince Rahm, or the Most Holy Rahmfather, or the Grand Poobah Rahm?
BTW, Drudge is reporting on the bullet proof Subway, down on the Southside. How kool and unique is that? How many cities in the U.S. have a Subway where the employees are encased in bullet proof glass. We can be proud. But, it helps keep crime down.
I like Chi-Ghanistan better.
This whole Chiraq thing is stupid beyond belief. First for those who don't understand they are comparing American soldiers killed in Iraq/Afghanistan to the number of people killed/shot etc. in Chicago. There are 2 million people in Chicago! I believe the current number of deployed troops to astan is less than 50,000. Second some getto drug dealers or bangers offing each other over trivial bullshit does not compare to the devastation suicide bombers/death squads/kidnappings etc. had on Iraq during the dark period...think pre surge of our troops or even the news out of Baghdad now. Lastly Chicago doesn't even have a top ten violent crime rate in the United States. Quit with the dramatics!
It is true that we need a massive amount of Section 8 housing in the affluent white north side and suburbs. Diversity is a good thing and a equalization of the races would go a long way to reducing the crime rate. If necessary some forced relocation. It worked in Russia in the 1930s.
Man if this keeps up, with all this O.T. I'll be able to retire early !!!

(heh-heh-heh) Warner Todd Huston at Breitbart is not letting up on Chiraq. He has another Chiraq article, picked up from *See-BS Chi* || Bulletproof Subway Restaurant Sign of Chicago Violence
--->> 'As violence in Chicago continues to spin out of control, businesses are reacting in logical ways. A Subway sandwich shop with a bulletproof enclosure for employees, for instance, made the news in the Windy City, showing that violence is affecting everyone, not just gang members. ~~~ paragraph ~~~ With Chicago's long, harsh winter finally over, the gangbangers and drug dealers have come out of hibernation; shootings and murders are rising to uncontrollable numbers. But this is nothing new. Chicago has been a war zone for years, and businesses have had to take measures to protect their cash registers, as well as the lives of their employees.' <<---
Tiny Dancer and McCompStat have to be going ballistic, that there's journalists they can't control, and who do not buy their "Crime Is Down" bullshit. {And I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that Breitbart.com will not be getting a Christmas card from Flaming Tutu or McStreetlightAssasin. (rotflmao)}
If my vote counts in the upcoming election, neither will be employed in this city.
same old story day after day here in chiraq--- gmac has been pounding down the sauce like it was mineral water--- could our new yawker be getting a one way plane ticket back east....
My brothers do not like each other very much.

McCypherer sez 'Ah, no. Check your math. Keep checking it. You'll get it.'
'Chicagoland' producer's emails: 'Rahm will look good'..Tribune digital headlines today regarding the upcoming CNN documentary series. Obviously it must incorporate quite a bit of fiction, if Rahm is going to look good. My guess is they won't discuss the rising number of murders, shootings, and other various crimes, like the Mag Mile Wildings and Apple pickings on the Red Line.

As the saying goes, "If the shoe fits, wear it"..
Paying off al those Revs is saving McCarthy his job! Where are all the "marches?" Stop the violence? Time for a new SUPT! It ain't working!
OT-
Newest research indicates that it's not cholesterol or bacon or dairy that breeds heart disease - NO, heart disease is caused by stress and sugar intake. Both are also named as the highest causes of cancers, diabetes and chronic arthritis.
First and foremost, learn how to deal with and control the stress factors in your lives. Crappy sleep, dealing with humanity's lowest forms of life, and all the other frustrations of this job can shorten your life, unless you find stress control techniques that work for you.
Why is it rham and garry are still here screwing things up? Both are useless and do not know their jobs.
Dear CNN, crime is down in Chicago, we have the stats' to prove it.
Thank you, Gmac & 9.5
"Only 13"???? 1 is to many when it comes to our servicemen. As for the ghetto rats, let them die!
CNN is four square on Rahm's side. CNN think's he may be the greatest Mayor Chicago has ever had. Can a powerful mass media outlet be wrong?
Garry is gone. He's heading back to New York.
Build the new school in conjunction with Kennedy King College at 63rd and Halsted. Make this a higher education high tech corridor eligible for federal block grants. This will stimulate housing starts in this area, encourage private investment and spawn business growth. This will reverse the brain drain in this low income area. Economic revitalization, jobs, more jobs, a better educated workforce and proliferation of academics will put the south side back on the map. River north gets too much government money and attention. Bring some of that money home to the little peoples. Kennedy, King and Obama are three Democrat names which suggest powerful forces to improve the lives of residents through education degrees not some b.s. G.E.D. certificates offerings handed out to ex-cons. President Obama High would forever be associated with the city college basketball powerhouse Kennedy-King and its unique contribution to white collar professionals.
As an outsider I just saw a report on cnn the other day with a big wig (police chief, I think) saying the violence is down to the lowest levels since 1960. Then this big wig said he did not order a reclassification and reporting on murders in the city.
What do you mean murders are out of control? The increase is now and has been decreasing for a long time thanks to the strategies put into place. The percentage of just plain murders with no motive has been going down, the numbers indicate that 76% of the 92% or homicides looked at in the study would not have happened if only strong gun laws had been in place and those gun laws were obeyed and enforced. Which they were to wit not such as enforced and thusly the increase is not Mac's fault.
Home long is it going to take McCarthy to get this clear to people???
Gun laws are the thing! Got it?
Most catholic schools are not air conditioned and students are well behaved . Why is that, quit using tax payer money to solve problems . Kids need love from parents, parents to make them breakfast and lunch , not the government . Quit making excuses for the criminal behavior in black neighborhoods . Most people there are honest and afraid to go outdoors because of the thugs .
Keep them in jail .
O.T. Scum Times reports former Comptroller and Member Police Retirement Board is sought by U.S. Marshall’s - he is on the run. Bet he is hiding in pal Lois Scott’s basement.

I didn't vote for this little spin-doctor thief! Those of you that did, you got just what you asked for!
Can we get rid of RAHM? What is the process? Chicago is the murder capital of the Midwest for sure. Why are we sitting here and allowing it to happen? We have a world class city and the Mayor is guiding us to ruins. Ghetto rats are out of control and me thinks that RAHM could care less as long as they kill each other. Tens of thousands of decent black folks are being held hostage in their own homes in fear of becoming a victim.
"Meanwhile, not a single American solider died in either Iraq or Afghanistan in March, and only 13 died in the previous two months."
Please edit your post and remove the word "only". One American life lost is one too many. You are trivializing the ultimate sacrifice.
Thank you
To the unpublished nimrod about Concealed Carry:
Let's see - overlong shirt, gloves (gloves??) and the "shooter" knew exactly which kid had the gun. If every single scenario went like that, we'd win 100% of the time too. This was a media event staged by ABC and designed to create the outcome they wanted.
Go post your horseshit elsewhere lib-tard asshat.
I can't thank our veterans enough for the sacrifices they made and I am in awe of their bravery. With that said the Iraq situation only turned for the better after THE SURGE. Our incompetent and corrupt officials should adopt a similar strategy to corral a easily winnable skirmish. We could go from Chiraq to Chitzerland in a heartbeat.
Channel 5 just reported on a carjacking in Woodridge. The female police chief was interviewed, but her name was not revealed. The description of the wanted offender did not include his race. NBC wonders why people are not watching. Seriously???
I hear the Alley on NS is selling Chiraq Tshirts in xxxxxs with matchin tutu

Once AGAIN, point? Keep telling them the south and west sides are the only place they'll run in to danger and your no better than the media, Gmac and Rahm, downplaying the fucking obvious: this city is going to shit.

Lots of Section 8 housing in Skokie. That town is going down the toilet, and fast! Robberies and other crimes are way up, also. Diversification experiment failed there miserably. But hey, I just saved a ton of money on car insurance!
Ok, well how many people got shot in LA or New York? How about any other city in the country. This was such a lazy comparison seemed like a fluff piece. Also what random ass website was that story from? Never heard of this writer or site before.
Rahms lucky RBT takes care of those criminal damage to property reports.
They start off like this
Victim related unknown offender shot at above vehicle multiple hole in driver side door.
No big deal they missed.
its a property crime.
you media trolls will never find those.
And this afternoon our little mayor helped plant a little new tree in front of a school using a little shovel. Tonight, two latin kings shot two Hispanics in the head at 31st and central park. 10:22 pm. Thank you for the new tree.
We're #1 (again)!

Re: Woodridge Car Jacking
The Chief of Police is Gina Grady. She's been on the job as Chief for about a year iirc? But she's not new to the village, came up as a Woodridge copper. She got the job when our last chief moved on to a bigger PD, can't recall where, sorry, and he was another long time village cop before becoming chief.
Now as to the 'Carjacking' -- Here's the Tribune Article on it. NOTE Is says armed robbery (Butcher Knife). You'll note no description of the offender is given But it's not needed, was a ---> M/1
(shithead 'prolly' came from the fucking ghetto/section 8/apts on the 'south side' of our village at at 83rd & Janes Ave.)
Domes day!

"the numbers indicate that 76% of the 92% or homicides looked at in the study would not have happened if only strong gun laws had been in place and those gun laws were obeyed and enforced."
Bwahahahahaa!!! Yeah, if only every law was obeyed we'd have no murders, rapes, robberies, thefts, car jackings, and on and on. Wishful thinking there, you libtard. Until the thugs actually start obeying laws, I'll keep myself armed and ready to defend myself.
McCarthy keeps his job for now depending on who runs against Rahm in the election. Right now McCarthy is taking the heat off Rahm but if Prekwinkle decides to run you can be assured that Rahm will fire McCarthy and replace him with a F/ or M/1 superintendent. But if Prekwinkle doesn't run and there's nomserious challenger then McCarthy stays till after the election because Rahm is so prideful and egotistical that he will never let it look like he bowed to any pressure by anyone, in fact he would keep McCarthy just for spite of the people of the city. You see little big man Rahm doesn't bow to anyone.
well the peace is over and the hell returns to work on Monday at the Medical Services Section!!!UGH
