Eight More Shot (UPDATE)

  • At least eight people, including a 14-year-old boy, were wounded in shootings on the West and South sides this afternoon, authorities said.
They're shooting 'em five at a time down south and doing three-fers on the west side. This is something like 15 shot in 48 hours. If there was a warm weekend on tap (there isn't) we'd be on pace to break 70 for the week.

UPDATE: It's now 1 dead and 10 wounded on a Wednesday night.

We'll exceed the 2013 homicide rates, even with creative accounting done (expect lots of Death Investigations come fall). I don't know if we'll hit 2012's rates...

Preliminary totals for April vs (April 2013)
Shot & Wounded: 233 (135)
Total Homicides: 35 (24)

And with the year to date total now higher than 2013 was well, it's time to blame guns and lax gun laws that somehow weren't the issue in Jan or Feb.

How many more things will McCarthy blame or make excuses for before he just throws his hands in the air and bleats out:

"Fuck this, already! The lions share of death and mayhem are attributable to the black communities".

If you have a hair on your sack, McPuppet, you'll fire off a parting shot full of the truth once 9-Point-5 hands you your walking papers.

The truth shall set you free, Stuporintendent.

Second city I cannot sleep anymore thinking about these innocent kids who are getting killed on our Chicago Streets... NOT!!!!

What I did find SCC is look at the Suntimes article on line today and you will see the gallery of photos of friends and family morning the 14 year old girl. BUT, look closely before the photos are taken down by the SunTimes that clearly shows a heavy set women wearing a pink sweatshirt on the back that reads R.I.P with a three pointed crown on it. Coincidence?? Maybe, but a few more pictures, when you keep looking, is a male black representing for a photo by the SunTimes holding up the CROWN. You be the judge.

Since last Friday alone all those shot and murdered is just mentioned briefly by each of the media stations, if reported at all. It is so ridiculously clear that Rahm has ordered them to tone it down. 10 shot and 1 dead over the past 18 hours and almost no mention on the news. Is it me or has this shit just become acceptable behavior that we should learn to live with in this shit city.

04:57 AM - you're right, there are more than just a few of the Sun Times gallery pics that have "Endia" Martin's family and friends representing. Fucking unbelievable! The little shithead wannabe rapper and supposedly "Endia" Martins "best friend" saw it as the perfect opportunity to promote himself as HE provided all of the pics where HE is in them. In one of them, where the little shithead is also throwin up signs, you can't even make out who the girl is in the pic. Oh, and to who ever is writting captions for the Sun Times photos, try to get the subject of your photos name right. Her name is "Endia" not "India", MORONS!

Lets have a community meeting CompStat for the top gold badges white shirts. We hear that murder problem is about the gangs. Well let put the top paid gang crimes Chiefs, Deputies and Commanders on display. The citizens of Chicago want to see your faces. Then you can articulate your gang abatement policing without all your prepared speeches. Invite and encourage citizens for all neighborhoods to ask the tough questions to the top guys about all the violence. Lets see these brains on display. Let us see if they are worth the price they are paid.

Try to talk away the reality of murders, drug dealing and senseless shootings. The citizens are fed the hocus pocus crime is down company line, but when you deal with the madness on a nightly basis, you will realize the feel good nonsense doesn’t bring relief to the communities under siege. All the bar graphs and pie charts don’t make all the neighborhoods safer.

It seems like the mayor and the top police can’t face the music and attend communitywide citizen forums. Mr. Mayor and Mr. Superintendent, if you can’t get the job done, a grass roots uprising will soon call for your immediate resignations. We’re tired of the lies, and all the Monday morning spin.

This. This is why we need the social media task force or what ever the hell they're going to call it. They aren't throwing up this supposed "crown" in reference to Latin Kings, although it still isn't a completely innocent hand gesture. The "Crown" at one point was a hand-sign for the YoungMoney M.C.'s (aka 051YM, Mickey Cobras). The hand sign that you are referring to stands for YoungMoney( or of course Latin Kings, depends really) but is now flashed in every picture of every teen from Chicago's north to south side, all the way to the East Coast and back down south. The same with this "L" all the teens throw up. Majority of them not ubderstanding how it makes them look like idiots if one was to question them on their gang affiliation because they saw something that looked "cool"

Maybe education is a solution to all this killing and maiming. I’m certain the perpetrators of violence were products of state schools with state sanctioned curriculums. Not to blame the teachers since they are just pawns in the state run system. The curriculum promotes social engineering changing the attitudes, belief system and established norms seemingly to the detriment of society. Absent is a fundamental teaching such as right and wrong. Teachings the values of the Ten Commandments and similar teachings of other religions are absent, but are the foundation of the system of law which keeps an orderly society. No right and wrong value system leads to a lawless out of control society.

Maybe its time for vouchers. Let parent(s) chose what is best for the children not bureaucrats and lobbyists in D.C. and Springfield. It boggles my mind how “choice” is encouraged as an option to end human life, but a no-no when it comes to decision making for the best school choice for our future, our children. In case you are wondering, education is left out of the Constitution by the framers. The framers believed education should be left to the local control of the States. But as soon as federal money in lunch programs was introduced, the federal government injected itself and now has a very loud voice in controlling education through the federal purse. Very rarely do officers encounter privately or religiously educated students involved in the all these acts of violent crime. Just a thought.

Whelp, just heard you-know-who speaking in tongues again.

How about telling the taxpayers how many criminals you took off the streets instead of how many guns you took -- as that latter seems to be a somewhat meaningless metric.

Meanwhile, more political propaganda.

ACLU -- The War on Marijuana in Black and White

The national marijuana possession arrest rate in 2010 was 256 per 100,000 people.

The jurisdictions with the highest
overall marijuana possession arrest
rates per 100,000 residents
were:

846 new York
535 nebraska
417 Maryland
409 Illinois

Cook County,IL (includes Chicago) made the most marijuana possession
arrests in 2010 with over 33,000, or 91 per day. The five counties (or boroughs) of New York City made
a total of 59,451 marijuana 0ossession arrests, or 163 per day;
Kings County (Brooklyn) made over 20,000


They go on bashing Compstats AND Broken Windows ... LMFAO

Tying officers up on bullshit pot arrest, 91/day, so they can be rated highly via the compstat program instead of being on the streets catching murderers.

Spending hundreds of millions of dollars on this shit in Chicago alone.

read the whole thing here

https://www.aclu.org/files/assets/aclu-thewaronmarijuana-rel2.pdf

Billions of dollars wasted in order to produce low level arrests for compstat.

The city will boldly proclaim the number of people charged MEANWHILE Obama and the DOJ push clemency and let all the hard work and money spent on this circle jerk go right out the window.

Talk about a place in disarray!

However thru all the confusion and distract we're pretty sure this is all a tool used to increase fines, fees, and taxes with a slice of that pie going to clouted friends and relatives. It' to make you safer...hahaha oh and it's for the children.

The thing is we hit 100 murders Monday of this week. 100 Pure,, based off the REAL definition of murders, murders. But I read an article this past week from a website that I for the life of me can't find at the moment that states 5 out of 8 of last weeks homicides were determined to be involuntary manslaughter... LMFAO. Another homicide where a guy was un over and killed and the driver was charged with 1st degree murder was also not counted. So we apparently "have" "94" "homicides" as of the end of April, down from 100 homicides on Monday. Lol, this city does what ever the fuck it wants.

McCarthy might go down as the worse supt in CPD history,but it will not be an easy task. He sure has alot of competition from previous supts, who also have the credentials to be named "Worse Supt in CPD History" They set a high standard.
