North Avenue Beach

Not a whisper nor a peep over the goings on at North Avenue Beach last night in the media.

Hundreds of ne'er-do-wells took over the sand and surrounding sidewalks, driving families and folks out for an afternoon in the sun and surf. Rather largish deal on the radio with numerous teams and the Bike Unit called out.

Another report in our comment sections about 50 kids hitting the Nordstrom store downtown and getting away with $2,000 in merchandise. Anyone have that RD#?

Rahm certainly has the media on a short leash.

If you coppers would just shut up, stop all this agitating, do your jobs and help the mayor out by taking cuts in pay and benefits, maybe he would throw you a bone.

Dear God... How did we manage to type that with a straight face.

Same thing happened tonight. Hundreds of shitbirds were walking around throwing rocks at people and are then funneled into the State/Chicago redline and voila, problem solved right? Wrong. They started fighting on the trains and caused the redline to come to a complete standstill for about 20 minutes at State/Lake in 001. Then they were walking around in 001 spitting at people and throwing rocks at them.

I didn't hear about any if this on the news but, being the fourth estate, if it WAS true, by golly it would have been front-and-center in the news.

And by the way, whilst watching the WGN 9:00 news last night, it turns out that our very own Rahm Emanual has been voted as the best dressed Mayor in the Country!

Thank you Chiraqo media for your attention to detail and hard hitting analysis.

Last year I was part of the summer bike detail early deployment in 018 before going to my summer detail in 004. They told us that that they want to keep the REPORTED incidents on the mag mile to a minimum as they give a bad impression of the safety of down town. Rahm TOTALLY controls what is reported from down town. Don't believe what is spoon fed. The only reason last year had fewer incidents is because the red line was shut down for a period of time. I asked why doesn't the city go after the parents of these "expressive youth" and only heard crickets. More is going on than what is reported!! Wake up Chicago!!!!!

Summer heat? Rock throwing? The beach? I think I've read this story before and. .....Racial tensions between whites and blacks that had been going on for so long exploded in five days of violence that started on July 27, 1919. On that hot summer day on a segregated Chicago Beach, a white man was throwing rocks at blacks in the water at a beach on the South Side which resulted in Eugene William's death. Tensions escalated when a white police officer did not arrest the white man responsible for William's death but arrested a black man instead. Objections by blacks were met with violence by whites. Attacks between whites and blacks erupted swiftly. At one point, a mob of white men threatened Provident Hospital, many of whose patients were African American. The police held them off. The riot lasted for nearly a week, ending only after the government deployed nearly 6,000 National Guard troops. They stationed them around the Black Belt to prevent further white attacks. By the night of July 30, most violence had ended.[9] Most of the rioting, murder, and arson was the result of ethnic whites attacking the African-American population in the city's Black Belt on the South Side. Most of the casualties and property damage were suffered by blacks. Newspaper accounts noted numerous attempts at arson; for instance, on July 31, more than 30 fires were started in the Black Belt before noon and were believed to be due to arson. Steel cables had been put across the streets to prevent fire trucks from entering the areas.[17] The Mayor's office was told of a plan to burn down the black area and run its residents out of town. There were also sporadic violent attacks in other areas of the city, including the Chicago Loop.[18] In the rioting, 38 people died (23 African Americans and 15 whites),[2] and 537 were injured (two-thirds were African Americans). Patrolman John W. Simpson was the only policeman who was killed in the riot.[6][19] Approximately 1000 residents, mostly African Americans, were left homeless after fires destroyed their homes. Numerous African-American families left the city by train before the rioting had ended, returning to families in the South.

I was on my bike last night approaching North Ave beach when about 25 black kids darted across the path. They caught up with another kid, got him down on the ground and started pummeling him with kicks and punches. One cop on an ATV did a circling motion to keep others at bay (kind of like a cowboy herding cattle) while a few others on foot and bikes approached the fight.

North Ave. used to be the crown jewel of Chicago beaches. Lately it has looked like a Rio slum.

Live in 18. I use to ride my bicycle on N. Ave Beach to Petersen to Pulaski to Chicago and other areas of the city. Now I totally avoid the lakefront and pretty much just ride around the Gold Coast because with each year the shitbird army has gotten bigger and bigger.

The media is totally corrupt and ignores what's going on.

The best example of that is the latest outage, the disappearance of the IRS emails.

Almost every mention of it, the media pumps the outrage comming from the GOP, not millions and millions of taxpayers who have a lick of sense and are appalled with that latest scandal.

They depict ithe lost email B.S. as a kabuki dance between the Dems saying there's no scandal in these lost emails and the GOP trying to find one.

I've never seen a situation where it is so obvious the media is the enemy and totally dis-engaged from there charter in a constitutional republic.

There are outlets reporting on it and not politicizing it but the ratio to those who politicize it or don't address it is astounding.

That fact tells you all you need to know.

'notice the Sun-Times comments are still disabled. Bet they never return. The powers that be don't want us complaining where others might be informed, influenced or compelled to act at the ballot box and get rid of these clowns.

One of the big thrills is running across Lake Shore Drive. The drive is first crossed over the south bound lanes. Wait in, those "ridiculous" flowered median strips. Check traffic, then run across the north bound lanes. You hit the wall laughing and cackling with your companions. You then climb the wall, and on to the beach, for more mischief. It's great summer fun. All subsidies and protected by the power structure. God Help You, if you harm one hair on the heads of these "innocent" youths, or say a unkind word about them.

When will they get arrested and when will the courts start to crack down on these social misfits.

The Tribune posted a story at 11:24 pm last night about the Orange Line derailment that occurred along Van Buren St yesterday. Buried at the very bottom of the article was this:

"In addition, police were called to the Red Line station at State and Lake Street for a group of people fighting, said Chicago Police News Affairs Officer Stacey Cooper. Police responded at about 8 p.m. after people said a group of teenagers were fighting, officials said.

Cooper could not say if any arrests were made."

I still had the window open and was going to copy and paste the link here. But I just checked it in another window, and it now links to a completely rewritten story that makes no mention at all of the gang fracas.

For my own amusement, I printed both the pre and post scrubbed stories to a pdf.

Lots of wilding playing chicken on Lake shore drive. Lets say your returning from work or taking the family on the drive. You strike one of the youths as he/she violates the law entering onto the drive in violation of all those posted signs and barrier fences. You my friend have insurance, assets and skin in the responsible American citizen game. The little bastard sues, puts your accumulated wealth and assets in jeopardy, causes emotional distress and creates lots of legal court type headaches. All has been the direct result of anti-social and soon to be “get paid” criminal behavior. The courts “reward” the little bastard and the representing attorneys get their fair share of the hard earned judgment money.

You my friend have this negative report from this accident held against you forever by insurance actuators, credit bureaus and public information peddling services. You look like a criminal wrongdoer but in fact are the victim of the out of control legal system which makes lots of money through criminal actions and encourages said bad behavior of those who have nothing to lose. You worry about your reputation and good standing in society and the little shithead looks for the next “get paid” opportunity through those lawyer written victim type money making laws.

If you coppers would just shut up, stop all this agitating, do your jobs and help the mayor out by taking cuts in pay and benefits, maybe he would throw you a bone.

Dear God... How did we manage to type that with a straight face.

Mayor blows smoke up firefighters ass !!

the 9 digit midget released a press release according to the news media regarding how happy he is that the fire dept came to terms on a 5 year contract with a 11% raise over that 5 years and that it needed to be ratified by the city council. he went on to mention how (basically) how nice it was for them to be fair about the terms. really so whats he saying ? that they gave up what? and it's going to be expected from us and we better be nice? i dont like the sounds of it and how bogus , 11% over 5 years, retroactive to a fews years ago.The city continues to gain alot and we continue to ( watch what happens to us ) gain nothing! 11% seems to be the same that was given on on our contract[s] for the last few so what have we gained, and we surely have lost and are about to lose what now?

Why no concealed carry on Park District property?

Short answer: Legislature caved in to the Mayor.
Chicago now has is own version of Survivor. You exit the Redline at Belmont,0200 hours, go east until you reach Halsted and are still in one piece. You are given a big OC spray, a folding knife and good quality running shoes...Bonus points if you can get a sandwich at Subway without getting robbed !

you weren't "clear" at all and even with an exacting reading of your comment, it was implied that last night's incident either (A) didn't take place or (B) was an exaggeration. Both counts are wrong as we have indisputable accounts from people who were there and radio traffic we personally heard.

It could happen right in front of ch. 7's broadcast window on State St and still would be ignored and not reported.

I was watching on the night some nut drove a car through the plate glass, bearing down on Ravi Baichwal.

I'm still laughing, God help me.

In the meantime, ABC obviously made discreet phone calls and got anti-truck-bomb-type posts put up...

Ravi, you don't know what you got into..have a good life. Still waitin for you to to go do a really horrible story...i.e., everyday life here.

Suggestion -- go sit in the Cook County Hospital ER receiving area overnight (don't slip in the blood) and WRITE WHAT YOU SEE. Po folks spent enough time there last fifty years. Your turn.

Trib turns Pete Nickeas loose about once a month...like someone said here, "he knows the score."

I am trying to drink good tequila here and the humidity keeps clogging my salt shaker.

Hard enough to find fresh limes in the "food desert" we are all alleged to be sufferin in.

I DEMAND A "NEIGHBORHOOD PROGRAM" TO PREVENT THIS DISENFRANCHISEMENT.

RAHM FOOD BUS NOW!

Open key on the Zone...

F' the Media.

F' Chicago.

And, F' Rahm.

Thank you SCC for providing a guiding light on the real issues going on and taking place in Chicago. You have been a real help to people trying to get an accurate look at both the good and bad things going on in Chicago.

I will not be coming into Chicago until I see a positive change.

I have a business meeting coming up. It will be in Oak Brook, not downtown.

I am sure I clearly typed that that particular incident where the group was throwing water on to each other was exaggerated by a few beach goers and it made me think of the bickering going on here of whether most incidents were or weren't happening, or were being over exaggerated. I'm certain I never typed nothing was happning, most incidents weren't happening, & etc. Just that ONE particular incident caused a small exaggerated excitement. I never mentioned believing nothing happened that day, or the rest of the weekend.

"For all of you stupid fuckers who think CCW will solve this problem, you are fooling yourself. You can't use deadly force when "young people" are acting a fool, fighting, etc... If you use deadly force in that situation, you are fucked. You will be charged and go to jail. You can only use deadly force if someone wants to cause death or great bodily harm. Read that sentence again num nuts."



So your saying if your getting attacked and pummeled to the ground by urban youths you have no right to protect yourself?

Please, let's give Zoraida Sambolin a chance before we write off ALL Chicago Media. Dane Placko too; they've both put in their time and earned their chops. Let's hope they don't drink the kool-aid too.

That's actually not what the poster said... At all. Actually, he did mention you could protect yourself.

How about if someone spits on you and then disagree and argue. Then they decide to beat you. Can you use your concealed and carry or will you become the next Zimmerman? How about if you simply blow out the pos's knee cap instead will Anita file charges?
