Elderly Bullet Catchers

  • At least 15 people, including a 56-year-old woman and a 67-year-old woman, were wounded in shootings across the city since Thursday afternoon.
And that was a weeknight.

You know what will fix this? Getting rid of the blog.

ok, ok.

but let's give Chicagoans points for trying to get back on track in the numbers game.

special shout out to the Crook Co State's Attorney's Office for SOL'ing record numbers of cases....

....and extra special mention to Gov. "4-County Quinn" for putting thousands of imprisoned felons back on the street by early release....


.....let's make this the BEST YEAR EVER!!!!!

I couldn't agree more. In fact, I would hypothesize that eliminating this blog would reduce crime in Chicago to the lowest levels since 1837! Thank God for CompStat.

OT: Dump Rahm, he's no good...not Mayor of Chicago quality...he doesn't listen to the people. He thinks he can just buy big projects with our money....the city will suffer with his thinking...we need to take a break from spending...Rahm is not good, should not be promoting Hillary and Immigration...we can't afford either. Hillary has made too many mistakes and produced nothing as Sec. of State. Her husband is lousy to women and we can't pay for Immigrates and their families. We can barely pay for our own. Any body but Rahm.

This Blog is the only clear view of Chicago and its daily crime (and sometimes political) activities.

What are we supposed to do, depend on the Chicago Trib and SunTimes to give us factual information?

Sorry - but I don't like my news filtered and varnished.

I like to read what is going on, not nice euphemisms that "all is well" when we both know "all is in chaos".

Sorry Rahm but because of reading this, you will NEVER get my vote or my family's vote for any office because reading this proved my suspicions that you are just an arrogant, power-hungry, incompetent who should not be in charge of a city, let alone a state or country.

Mainstream media - get a clue.

Start printing the truth and start covering stories like Benghazi if you want me to spend my hard-earned money on your paper or your TV News.

Maybe it is time of Cook Co. and Chicago to adopt some tough gun laws. That will solve the problem. Spending some tax money to eradicate poverty would also help. Maybe the rich and middle class citizens of Chicago should share some of their wealth with their less fortunate brothers and sisters. A little income equality might go a long ways.

Howz those CTA cameras working mayor?

HELLMONT: 5 Arrests In "Huge" Brawl At CTA Station

Do you think the cameras provide any comfort to the victims after they are shot, stabbed, beaten, robbed?

Say it loud and proud now:

"We will bring those responsible to justice" ROFLMA.

Was is it funny? Well it's not really.

The joke is on you Mayor. You're funny. You amuse the taxpayers. You amuse the thugs. The way you tell a story. It's funny.

Because while the mission to capture the criminals and charge them is highly publicized front page news and are lead stories on the corporate politically owned bought and paid for TV stations. Behind the scenes are the DOJ and Obama letting the thugs all back out on the streets again. Running guns down to the drug cartels and kicking the boarders where the drugs that finance this entire operation are held wide open.

A problem created to distract the public from the political and corporate raping of the taxpayers like from investment bankers.

Why it's funny, because the shitter is full and we're broke.

Yet, you want the victims to believe that you've brought the thugs to justice. LMFAO. Oh Please.

And to your police commissar McStreetLight.

See all the Broken Windows

You gonna tell the taxpayers that none of the city workers on your payroll see this shit. That it's up to the residents to call 311 to have 311 tell them it didn't happen and refuse to take a report so the crime stat numbers don't blow up.

Go piss on someone else's head and tell them it's raining.

The University marketing labels and phoney initiatives are failing.

heh, no wonder the gangs are stealing guns Garry. You have failed to send the message that crime is not acceptable behavior and will not be tolerated based upon your own theory. Look at all the pretty painted walls. Boy that's some city sticker art right there I'll tell you what. /sarc.

Remember kids:

"One person shot and killed, a Pendalton (rich child of an Obama supporter), is a tragedy, thousands more killed in Chicago are just a crime stat statistics.

Rahm is pushing Hillary for president, are you kidding the senile grandma that let Americans get murdered in Benghazi! No wonder they are pushing to give more to illegals more votes for the kind of leadership that is drilling our country into he ground! What has Barry Obama done? Nothing but wreck and ruin this country, a vote for a democrat next election is a vote to finish destroying this country for us and our children!

I personally don't mind the weeding out of shitheads. I just feel bad for the people actuclly contributing to society that get caught in the crossfire. If we teach the gang bangers better shooting skills perhaps they would have better luck taking each other out. The more shitheads that die the more people we have removed from government aide. It is a win win for the tax payers of Chicago.

Rahm's Chicago --

"Skate ribbons" and banners on light poles, Obama libraries and Star Wars museums and clowns on fifty-foot stilts -- but no squadrols.

"It all seemed so simple. An officer prepared to take a man into custody, apparently for drinking near the L tracks in the 1000 block of Irving Park Road Thursday evening.

"What followed was a genuine cluster, all because the police department did not have a paddy wagon available on the entire North Side of the city. Here's the tick-tock.

"6:28PM - Officer makes a street stop, determines that the man should be taken into custody. He requests a "wagon."
6:40PM - Dispatcher asks for a regular patrol car that has a protective cage around the back seat to go pick up the arrestee. Officer on scene says, no, the arrestee is VERY large and he must have a normal, old-school paddy wagon.
6:42PM - Dispatcher says one of the 19th district "wagons" today is actually just a Chevy Tahoe patrol car. The other one will come.
6:43 - Wait. The other one is a van, not a squadrol. Will the guy fit in a van?
6:45PM - Officer repeats, "We can’t transport him in a Tahoe" or a van. "If [the 19th district doesn't have a] squadrol, get one from another district."
6:48PM - The 18th district will send one of their squadrols.
7:09PM - The 18th district shows up. It's a van, not a squadrol.
7:10PM - Dispatchers have checked with all North Side districts. None has a squadrol.
7:14PM - Dispatcher is getting permission from her supervisor to ask a South Side district to provide a squadrol.
7:14PM - A sergeant arrives at Irving Park. Says to hold off on the South Side request while he analyzes the situation.
[Analysis ensues.]
7:15PM - Sergeant tells the dispatcher to send an ambulance because, while the arrestee is not injured, he will at least fit inside of an ambulance.
7:49PM - Ambulance takes the arrestee away."

Don't worry. The thousand-dollar bill for the ambulance run will be sent to a dying elderly person who worked and paid taxes here all their lives -- and oxygen is $40 extra.

When I came on we had THREE full sized squadrols in each district, some had more, I believe 018 had 4 or 5. In my district we had a 71, 72 and 73. But of course we hauled the living and the dead and had other misc duties as would come up from time to time.

My personal best was 19 arrestees in the wagon at one time. All teenaged gangbangers, little punks, 5'6" 140 pound bastards. They wanted them taken in and were trying to call for more wagons, I said fuck it, these little jagoffs would fit and they did. 19 of them. Tact guys got a kick out of that as they piled out. Better than stuffing a load of college kids in a Volkswagon.

Rahm is dumpee numero uno. He goes first, then the rebuilding job begins.

As for McCarthy there is only one question any new mayor need ask him, "Where would you like your retirement party Supt McCarthy?"

Sure. All night it was "Taking one to the detox, taking one to the Read," etc. Now you use big expensive rolling intensive care units for this kind of dirty work, while someone has a heart attack and has to wait for an ambulance.

"Doing more with less," huh? Rahm?

Looking at a pic of a wagon in 1950. Equipment laid out along side -- first aid kit, extinguisher, fire ax, lantern, 2 Halligans, rope, body bag, 10-pound sledge, stretcher, blanket. Maybe someone borrowed the bolt cutters, and there had to be a shotgun and a couple boxes of shells around somewhere. Basic stuff to help out, to at least get a start on everyday situations and maybe even resolve some.

When I worked in 007 (1977,78,79) We had five. One for each sector. And if they were not all manned we were told we could not get time due, manpower shortage. Some things never change.
We backed each other up though and even though we could only carry 56 hours on the books and were told we had to work on election day for 16 hours with no additional pay( no additional PAY for any reason then or time due) because we were told, "it was our civic duty". These and many more reasons are why we have a Union today.
