Arrest in Teacher's Slaying
- Dominique Hodrick had an ongoing dispute with a man nicknamed “Nookie,” so when Hodrick saw his rival driving in a car on the South Side, he allegedly opened fire.
Hodrick missed “Nookie,” but he shot and killed veteran special education teacher Betty Howard in the chest while she worked her second job at Kale Reality, 735 E. 79th Street, Cook County prosecutors said.
A 58-year-old man who was also working at Kale Reality also suffered a graze wound to his abdomen when the bullets went through the office wall in the May 29th shooting.
Well done to all involved in this heart-breaker of a case and bringing some measure of closure to the family.

One wonders why Chicago thugs and gangstas are such terrible shots? They seem to have no accuracy at all.
The victim was by all accounts a decent lady trying to make her way. A shame that some brain dead criminal could end her useful caring life. Just another name in what is Chicago.
This is again another case that pisses me off. Question, how can we find out why the 2012 gun charges were dropped and why? Is that a difficult task? Yet another gang banger gets out and kills due to charges dropped or early release.
Start tracing these guns used in crimes. Punish the straw buyer and the negligent gun owner who failed to secure it properly.
A decent woman was taken from us. A woman who was a productive citizen and a public servant. It is horrific and sad when I go to a crime scene and death befalls upon a respectable person. Rest in eternal peace.
They named a byu Dominique? Really? That is where it begun.
Glad to see an arrest made in this tragedy. It won’t bring back this family’s loved one, but will help bring some closure. This murder was senseless and is hard to rationalize. We can only hope the full weight of the criminal justice system will permanently remove this murderer from the community giving relief to the violence plagued neighborhoods.
"Dominique" (and isn't that a GIRL'S NAME?) Hodrick was the one "in the wrong place" -- left to run wild among decent people.
Oh. Trib? It's "realty," not "reality."
...and believe me, there's a big difference in many ways...
Thugs are terrible shots for the same reason that they are thugs, because they are lazy and choose to take what they perceive to be the easy way. It takes skill and persistence to be a good shot, attributes possessed by people who might, say, go to college and pursue a career. And yet, our society becomes more like a prison because there is no stomach and no room in the prisons to keep thugs locked up where they belong, while people who obey the law are treated like the thugs with whom they are forced to share the sidewalk. It makes perfect sense to the liberal mind.
Sad when it's thought that problems are solved with guns,and criminals have no conscious as to who will or may be harmed,no afore thought, no care ,no concern for others well being,these crimes should be delt with severely,the courts need to step up!
I'm glad they got that savage piece of shit but he never should have been out on the street in the first place. A shock I know.
For what he got busted in 2012 plus his previous record, the probation he got in 2012 was bullshit, he should have been sitting in prison. I checked the IL Statutes and 'Defacing a Firearm' is a Class 3 Felony. That alone carries 2-5 years in the slammer. But if its not someones first run in with the law, like this scumbag, there's an extended sentence of 5-10 years for that Class 3. Plus a nice $25,000 dollar fine to go along with it -- when's the last time a Crook County Judge imposed those fines on 'people of color'??...yeah...like never.
But I digress.
Bottom line, if Tiny Dancer or McFailure really, REALLY, wants this nonsense in the hood to stop they're going to have to DEMAND the strictest sentences be imposed and lock these motherfuckers up for good when convicted, and don't worry about the fallout! Screw 'the community', screw Father Flaky & the storefront Rev'runs, and screw Preckwinkle.
As Marc Anthony said after Julius Caesar was assassinated: ..."Cry 'Havoc,' and let slip the dogs of war."...
The Police being the 'Dogs of War'.
Damn good work by The Police!
Now if only this segment of society were honorable?
It would be about the people's business of putting this mad dog to sleep.
Psst! Hey Rahm! Guess what?
>Very Long Pause...<
CHIRAQ MUTHAFUCKAAHH!
Oh by the way... How goes "The Great Hate" media propaganda and public relations war designed to separate the "greedy, underworked, overpaid, too luxurious pension-having, need to take a haircut because Chicago's financial mess is all their fault," COPS from the good will of the public?
You know... That cute little thingy you're doing so you can have a big time talking point when you run for national office?
"I stuck it in those union member cops ear and MADE THEM TAKE lay-offs (not hiring, eliminating budgeted positions, reduction in force through district consolidation and attrition) and saved lots of money." (To piss away on goofy-assed shit just like his patron Shortshanks...)
"I'm tough! Look at what I did to those cops and fear me for I am Rahm Emanuel... Now king me... I got things to do, important people to see and lots of money to make."
It's a pity really...
Rahm is so fixated on beating the everloving shit out of Policemen, their families and loved ones for the sole sake of venal, cynical politics and media spin, that he neglected to do any homework on how to solve the lowest common denominator armed wing of his catered to voter base...
Hmmmm... Rahm might have to pander to Chicago's vast Latino majority "undocumented" community...
"Hurry hurry hurry! Gotta wave 'em all in so we can offset the pissed off black vote in 2015 so we can stay in power!"
The oppressed tax payer says "Get your hands out of my pocket you m/fers you!"
(Cue the usual trolls cuz they ain't got shit better to do)
Rahm says he's being "constructive" and fighting for "the children" by keeping a keen ear tuned for the peculiar resonance a $25K plate makes when it's slid across a fine linen table cloth and the clink of fine leaded stemware at fundraisers given by people with a genuine interest in solving what's going on at ground level in Chicago...
In Rahm's eyes, that bulging $7+ Million re-election fund is THE answer to the blood, brains, shit, tears, hatred, anger, dispair and intentionally heightened, politically motivated discord (all by HIS HAND ALONE) running in the gutters like an epically foul porridge...
Everybody is dancing in the stuff on their tip-toes and screaming at The Police to "DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS!"
1. "Fuck y'all lookin' at us for?"
2. We've been busted down to custodians for years now... Shit on the floor used to an ass kicking but since it was The Police who were out of control and not the shitter, y'all just gotta watch your step until we can roll by with a bucket of ashes and a shovel... Backlog ya know...
The dissonance is deafening.
Meanwhile...
"It's The Police who are the problem in Chicago... Once we fix THEM, everything else will fall in place."
Then what?
They're terrible shots because they are a bunch of criminals who can't go to a range and learn real marksmanship.
A lot of good this does the Victim. Guaranteed the corrupt Crook County Judges and States Attorney are the reason this convicted Felon was out lurking in the streets of Shitcago.
So this degenerate POS hits 3 people, kills one and wounds two, all because of a beef with some guy and his inability to control his impulse to gun the guy down in a public setting.
He has a record, yet no one could see the path this jerk was on and instead gave him 2 years probation instead of jail time.
And now a good and decent woman is dead because of this.
Where is the accountabilty? And why should it fall to the taxpayers to house and feed this psychopathic scum for the rest of his natural life?
Another of Obama's Sons kills a productive human being.

That brings up some interesting thoughts:
How does our sentencing in Chicago for violent crimes compare to Los Angeles and New York?
Is Chicago and Cook County that soft on sentencing?
Is that why Chicago is out of control?
Finally, can we blame the shootings and inner city violence on the soft sentencing the Progressive Democrats have foisted on us?
Now, why in the world would Mayor Emmanuel double down on this soft sentencing by additionally offering to wipe the slate clean for criminals and clear their records? Because he is pandering to them for their votes of course.
That's why the word politician is a dirty word. Vote them all out.
I want to meet the guy that calls the BOSS Mcidiot, Call me, better yet meet me at the next union meeting, I will be wearing the guy wearing a pink tie... THe only one with a pink tie....I'll bet you don't show . Here is your homework project...What has the BOSS done wrong.....

Mr Pink Tie,
The Superintendent, our representative, has presented himself as a boozing womanizer that stepped out on his family and embarrassed the Department. Get close enough to him socially and you will find out just how rude and crude he is.
Our Superintendent has enveloped himself in the political scene and relishes the attention like a young starlet. He will stand behind any politically progressive nonsense the Mayor tells him to. He is a carpetbagger.
Our Superintendent is a self involved narcissist who craves the medias attention and panders to the Democratic voting base, again at the Mayors bidding.
We are under manned, out gunned and under equipped. Our cars are falling apart and dangerous. Our Superintendent sees that we have to have hundreds of officers hired back each day and says we have enough officers and don't need to hire. This hurts our pension and makes our work day so much more dangerous. There is a widow or widower in the making here. Can't you see that?
The Superintendent has never advocated for us. He has never stood up the Mayor and asked for more officers. He is to busy promoting his COMPSTAT dogma and berating people that work for him. I am sure he intends on selling this COMPSTAT crap when he move on from here.
I could go on, but I believe SCC has a space limit. So what say you Mr Pink Tie? What in the hell can you possibly think he has done for this Department? I really want to know.
Poor lady. Helping people with special needs and gunned down by an idiot who had want for nothing because this government gave him all he needs. Yet the drive for violence and savage mind overwhelms the ignorant animal to act. Sad.
pretty amazing these shithead liberals bitching about "inadequate" gun laws, whats INADEQUATE about them? the number of legal gun owners getting snared as oppossed to illegal weed-addled retards? its as if they have decided they need to start catching the typical FOID holder doing ANYTHING, just so they can claim justice is blind in chicago and everyone holding a weapon can be arrested, not just the gangbanging feral shitstains out there. they dont seem very anxious to give them stiff sentences that might "blemish" their permanent records and keep them from those empty high salary postions out there going unfilled.
When are you going to realize that the crime problem is not the fault of the police? The fault belongs at the States Attorneys office andvthe prison review board.

Point by point A police officer(Supt) that is a womanizer and drinks. Thats sounds like most of the previous supts. We have had them leave for drinking,at least 3 I know, one for having an affair with a stewadess. How many exempts are drinkers and one could replace him.
A boss being crude,that just shocks me. I dont know where you have been on the CPD when you would say that.
Every Supt has done the bidding for the mayor. He works at his pleasure takes his orders from the mayor,just like you take yours from your sgt.,lt. or commander.
Do you really believe the supt has never asked the mayor for more officers. You are very naive if you believe that. Do you know how much easier it would be for the supt and how much more he could get done if he had more officers. He would gladly welcome them,but the mayor dictates how many officers the CPD will have.
You ypurself say the supt sees to it we have hundreds of officers hired back each day(at time and a half) so he is getting more po's on the street. Better to have those hundreds than none. Adding more police to the streets each day does not make our job more dangerous. Just the opposite and dont go into they are emotionally drained and tired. Sitting in a squad at VRI doesnt equate to working another part time job which is usually alot more stressing and physical if you work the trades.
I also find it funny that when the supt berates the exempt, you feel sorry for them. They are the same people that come back to roll call and berate the po's working the streets.
Sad story! Too bad that a CCW didn't immediately vaporize this shithead before he could squeeze that trigger.

That shit is so played out it's annoying. It's like reading about Chicago violence and every 2nd comment is "but Chicago has such strict gun laws!".

Dear dipshit. You need to be aware that the Chicago police department is made up of a lot of black police officers.
Those officers have a lot of family members that are black as well.
Collectively, and in their own right, those black folks identify
with Obama.
When you write that racist bullshit (and we all get the anger) your insulting the black victim too--and their CPD family.
Just think (ain't too hard to do, and it won't hurt none either)before you post.
The Gang Intel PO'S and Area 2 Det. did an outstanding job. Now its CCSAO job to do their job.
Fu$& you pink tie - your a punk and an IDIOT for even defending Mcidiot
Let sleeping dogs lie. And we pay for this shit. Devil eyes. Look at the beast.
Pink tie = Pink pussy did you ever think the superintendent was "told" he was not getting any more officers to actually HURT our pension?? Rham wants nothing more than to see unions gone and possibly this is his way to eventually force that issue??? Not enough officers paying into the pension = BIG problem right? Rham exploits this to the news how bad the pension system is and how we need to fix it with reform!! It's called dirty politics take notes. We lose
A job at Kale "Reality"?
The so called journalist must be a CPS student alumna or English is her second language.
I also find it funny that when the supt berates the exempt, you feel sorry for them. They are the same people that come back to roll call and berate the po's working the streets.

...and that tells us all we need to know. The husband abuses the wife who then abuses the child..... but you "find it funny".
Everybody has an opinion. You are welcome to yours, but I can't for the life of me understand it.

While I get your response here and agree on the "BIG PICTURE", you have to realize/understand that when Obamma himself started this whole parody of himself. He involved himself personally and prematurely [actually never should have said anything at all, ever], about the Zimmerman/Martin case] by saying about Martin, "If I had a son, he'd look like Trayvon" and opened himself up to be called racist. Daily, there are and were ignored killings of young people that are/were: black on black, white on white, black on white, white on black, hispanic on...well you should have my drift by now, and never said anything about those atrocities. But he chose to insert himself into a convoluted, open for interpretation, ongoing criminal investigation that was being treated anything but fairly by the whole American mass media.
His amazing stupidity in that remark opened himself up to parody on so many levels that you now should put it in perspective for what it is now and was then:The perfect straight line for comedy.
Remember, I started this comment out by agreeing with you in principal on the very broad picture.

The additional Criminals in the Crook County States Attorneys Office and the Crook County Judicial System are to blame , along with the criminal offender. they are the ones who are responsible for letting these vermin walk free early.
And REMEMBER, they're ALL Democrats.
Maybe the wrong time, work is never the wrong place
Which is worse, a major newspaper employing a reporter who can't distinguish "realty" from "reality," or a major newspaper lacking the lacking the basic editorial competency to catch the mistake before putting it out to the world with their corporate name on it? Yet another blow to the Sun-Times' credibility.
