Missed This Story

  • Police were warning some lakefront residents to be on alert, after someone shot out windows at a North Side high-rise at least three times in the past 10 days.

    CBS 2 [...] reports someone has been shooting some type of projectile at windows at the Harbor Point condo tower at 155 N. Harbor Dr. – twice late at night, and once just before dawn. At least five windows have been shattered.

    The latest incident was Monday night, around 11:30 p.m. Windows also were shot out Sunday night and just before dawn on April 20.

    Detectives would not say if a gun was used, or if it was some other type of projectile such as a slingshot.
Just in case you were keeping track at home, it was a gun. We got word from someone outside the Department who has been staying on top of this one in light of the media embargo on all types of downtown mayhem, and they confirmed that someone shot at the building on three occasions.

Was there an arrest?

If it happened in the 312, there was a media blackout naturally.

There is no media embargo on downtown crime. It is just that there is very little crime to report in regard to downtown.

That's crazy for that area. No surveillance footage from the area buildings, nothing? Damn.

Downtown is not safe. As a resident I can tell you this first hand. I come out of my condo and Rif Raff are all over the place hootin and hollerin, making noise, bumping into people, etc. The police have their already destroyed neighborhoods on lock down, so they go where the police are not.

Garry McCarthy does not seem to understand this concept. Hes too busy kissing up to Jesse Jackson and aldercreatures putting more police resources in the ghetto. Im sick of it!!

Doorman, "concierge," luxury parquet floor, granite countertops, high-speed fiber no protection. The Big Hate is coming for Todd and Buffy now...

Daley lost control of his high-rent city core, and now Emanuel is going to worsen the situation by extending the Red Line out to Roseland.

Wilding Express, yo. Shirt off! Hat backwards! Up and over the turnstiles and all aboard!

WHOO!

Roaming gangs of black youths descended on a festival in Cincinnati, carrying out a number of attacks that resembled the “Knockout Game,” a nationwide phenomenon in which randomly selected victims are struck in the head, sometimes fatally.

I use to work Beat 18-21 many years ago which included the south half of Cabrini Green and went all the way to the river.

Every so often we use to get a call about a stray shot going through an apartment window in the projects. And a few times there were bullets going through the windows ending up lying on the desk of a very frightened secretary at the Montgomery Wards Headquarters on Chicago Avenue.

No blood, no tips, no clues either in the human warehouse or at the engine of commerce but I don't think all the incidents were ever reported.

Just writing about the broken windows here, other times in Cabrini there was a lot of blood.

Just A Citizen says: Ya know what men in blue? Thank you from the bottom of my heart (no sarcasm here either) for this blog. I don't bother reading anything else related to Chicago crime info since it's all a bunch of lies. Shooting at our windows now? Why exactly? What kind of twisted fuck shoots out windows? I have to say this was the final straw of me going back to Chicago and staying in the condo downtown. I am DONE. If you can't even feel safe laying in your bed at night without some sick fucks shooting out your windows, then it's time to get the eff out of that hellhole. What I love are ALL the people who say "Oh, it's such a beautiful city." I feel like telling them "who gives a shit how pretty it is (it isn't actually) if every other black "urban youth" you see is packing heat and dying to use it on you. God bless you guys and thank you for this blog.

The side of the building where the windows are being shot out faces LSD. Most likely drive-bys.

All you Downtown, River North, Streeterville and Gold Coast people are now crying about bullets through your upper story windows and how Rahm has left you feeling so "unsafe" as the urban shit-birds having nothing but air, time and opportunity are now circling your buildings and neighborhoods on foot and by vehicle to catch YOU and YOUR family members unaware/distracted/inattentive at the right fucking moment?

We can't help but smile...
You soft and weak people who never had the joy and
pleasure of going eyeball to eyeball with these devils for 20 or more years, finally will have a chance to show
us "too old, big, mean, dumb, brutal, racist, heavy-fisted, insensitive, unfriendly and way over-comped" Patrolmen how you would "do it."

You people literally cheered when Rahm opened his campaign by picking a very unnecessary fight with the men and women of this department.

There has NEVER been such a concentrated, well orchestrated, well funded (with money from the corporate/government profiteers and their media propaganda organ) and sustained effort to separate Public Safety employees from the overall good will of
the public.

It is especially obnoxious here in Chicago.
But you oh so enlightened and politically savvy "Chicagoans" fell for Rahm's bullshit because he was able to run his media spin of "Greedy Cops Big Salaries, Cush Pensions and Early Retirements Are The Reason For Chicago's Financial Crisis!"

Nice one Rahm... Everybody with half an ill-informed opinion is jaw-jacking about what the greedy cops are getting... Never you mind about a giggling stuttering idiot who oversaw the "misplacement" of ungodly multiple Billions of taxpayer treasure during his 22 years as mayor.

Yeah... Chicago Policemen actively conspired to destroy this city's financial viability and incur the wrath of the people who pay the freight?

Are you all done pissing on us and telling us it's rain?
Or is this just part of the act?

"Why don't you cops jus go away! We have no need for you! You're expensive and nothing but trouble!"

OK... The Police are "gone" in Chicago.
Now what?

The only real upside is every living ass in this city is now equally in danger due to Rahm's forced lay-off/reduction in force through attrition for his major talking point for higher office.

"I took on those greedy cops and their union and made them more efficient by doing more with less while making them take pay cuts and pushing for fiscal efficiencies by forcing them into 401K pension plans."(managed by my Wall Street buds/campaign donors)

We tried to warn you people that Rahm was all about Rahm and he didn't give a fuck about anybody else.

"Shut up cop! We hope Rahm goes after all you guys and finally shuts that blog down!"

You people actually believed he was ONLY going to hurt Policemen?

XD XD XD

...As Rahm uses the urban shit-bird as one of many levers to separate you from your money while destroying your actual and perceived sense of safety because you are NOT him...

Oh yeah... You people elected another crazy man as mayor.

Some of those people in those LSD high-rises need to cell phone video the damage and get it to the TV news stations. If someone gets hurt, even cleaning up the glass remember the slogan, "If it bleeds it leads!".

If the residents call and complain to the media and give them some video they may get some action out of McNumbnuts.

Stay Safe. Look sharp, wear your hat, you may be on TV.
