14 Becomes 16
- The death toll from the weekend gun violence in Chicago rose to 16 Monday when two men died from their wounds after being shot late Sunday night and early Monday.
That means that the "reduction" McCompStat was bragging about at the end of June (nine whole homicides!) just did a little catching up. As of yesterday, we were only 6 behind last year.
But not to worry! Plans are in effect. CPD isn't counting the murder on the Dan Ryan the other day of the 25-year-old pregnant mother of five - ISP will be handling that one.
And Tommy Skilling has awoken from his summer slumber and is bringing in a summertime "Polar Vortex" just as a favor to Rahm and Garry:

And Tommy Skilling has awoken from his summer slumber and is bringing in a summertime "Polar Vortex" just as a favor to Rahm and Garry:
- Next week will bring a span of unseasonably cool days and nights that could dip into the 40s in some Chicago suburbs, say weather forecasters.
In a tweet on its official Twitter feed, the National Weather Service in Romeoville described the system in terms familiar, if perhaps unwelcome, after this past winter.
"A July version of the Polar Vortex forecast over Great Lakes next week!" began the tweet, which has been retweeted more than 65 times.
Remember - Global warming!
UPDATE: Events are conspiring against the "Rahm and Garry Show" though. Another "death investigation" has been reclassified as a homicide:
UPDATE: Events are conspiring against the "Rahm and Garry Show" though. Another "death investigation" has been reclassified as a homicide:
- The death of a 32-year-old man found lying on the street in the Lincoln Park neighborhood in late April was ruled a homicide by the Cook County medical examiner's office this week, officials said.
Jacob Klepacz, of the 1200 block of North Noble Street, was found in the 1500 block of West Fullerton Avenue and was pronounced dead at 4:21 a.m. April 28 at Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center, according to the Cook County medical examiner's office.
Klepacz was an avid Chicago sports fan who police said was found fatally beaten after he had left a Wrigleyville bar. Police were called to the scene on Fullerton about 3:55 a.m. April 28 following the report of a possible battery, and found the victim on the street with head trauma, Police News Affairs said at the time.
In light of that Chicago Magazine article, it's amazing that they were able to keep this off the books for over two months as a death investigation. Hopefully, it hasn't let the trail grow cold.

Is Tom Skilling bringing in the "Polar Vortex" at Rahm's behest?
The "polar vortex" has been blamed for the shitty Q1 GDP we had. But that drop in a few homicides during the "polar vortex"? PURE FUCKING GENIUS from Rahm and Garry. That's how crime is down in Chicago. So obviously, reelect them because they're geniuses.
And I trust heyjackass's murders to date than any city hall metric.
"July Polar Vortex", my rear end. It's the hideous, and most dangerous form of global warming. A global warming that scientists all agree causes violent unrest, wars and increased gun violence. I blame Bush and the radical republicans.
This Mayor will never do what's right in terms of securing quality protection for residents and their Police Department. Wonder why..all he does is blame guns and gives excuses for the perpetrators. Idiots keep repeating the same thing over and over with no better results.
A class definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.
Anyone else see how this applies to the current administration? Shitty Hall? The Sheeple?
In ten years or less, the term "McCarthyism" will mean "insane ramblings of a drunk which are meant to project blame"
What a total and complete joke all these city college educated bosses are making of all of this.
Every politician doesn't care. Mayor after mayor will keep on screwing us BECAUSE WE DONT STICK TOGETHER!
You see? They let Shortshanks' nephew out of jail and another guy ends up beaten to death. They do get worse after incarceration.
McCompstat is 'parking' obvious homicides in a new category of IUCR called 'death investigation'. We're actually over any 'under' McStats is spouting. Take a look. DWalsh is on board with this. Go figure. Took them how many weeks to reclassify the guy beaten to death on Fullerton? He was in the 'death investigation' category until I guess they couldn't hide him any more.
They are experts at playing the Blame Game. No solutions in sight.
What a great polish guy. My wife knew him. Get out of this city my fellow polish if you can. This isn't the same city in the 80's. The south side of the city is gone

Uh oh where was Vanecko that night??
Another Sluggers customer getting a dirt nap. What goes on in there?
The expressway isn't in Chicago??
So many murders on the south side and we continue to waste resources trying to fix it.
And people are being attacked with hammers at Navy Pier.
Bring on the overtime.
I keep on wondering what is it going to take to get police staffing levels back to where they need to be?
We now have murders and vicious attacks in what was once good neighborhoods. Eventually, people will move away, and the "nice" areas will be given up to the criminals. Very sad.
Bottom line more police hiring they have hired class of 30 just 30 in the last 90 days and how many have retired? Fund the pension bet on this massive ex exodus next year class of 85 for example out of 60 in my group only 12 left wait till next year bet over 1,000 gone more vri, more burnout yes the money is great but the toll on health is greater.
But according to McNumnuts' bitch, "Chief" Tracy, we should be counting the xway murder in compstat, even though we don't report it in the CPD's UCR stats... Right? Oh, we only do that when it makes us look good.
Mayor blames guns because he and his Lackeys are too Lazy, Stupid, and are Pig-Headed Socialists who want Nationwide Confiscation, so they can easily control the population. Remember, "They" the Politicians and their Armies, will ALLWAYS have the Guns, to use to Enforce their will upon us Pee-On's. Remember also, that there are Tons of Guns All Over the State of Illinois, and Chicago, yet there is NOT extreme, out of Control Violence, shooting, and Murder ANYWHERE else, other than in Black Neighborhoods, mostly in Chicago. Yet the Excuse-Making Chicago-Crook County Democrat-Socialist Politicians know this, yet due to laziness, distortion and obfuscation of facts, and general, overall incompetence, fail to address the Real Problem, instead preferring to continually attack Law Abiding American Citizens Second Amendment Rights, ala Hitlers Nazi Party. Politicians such as Dick Durbin and Rahm know full well that there are already tons of Firearms Laws already on the Books, but instead of assuring they are enforced, they always prefer to waste more of the Middle-Class Taxpayers Money, sitting on their asses comprising yet more anti-gun Laws, which are already covered by our current Laws on the Books. This abject incompetence, and lack of addressing the real problems, assures that Illinois will remain broke, busted, corrupt, and crime-ridden, and Middle Class Taxpayers Taxes will continue to Double and Triple, to pay for their Schemes and useless Ideas, which will never come close to solving the real problems, which "They" really Don't want solved, because it's far easier for them to bilk the Taxpayers and Line their Pockets, than to actually solve the problem, which, incidentally, "They" (the Democrats) actually created, decades ago, by rewarding people with Government (Taxpayer Paid for Entitlements), for Laziness and immoral behavior, among other things. They thrive on creating more and more Government Endorced Slavery and dependence on the Almighty Handout, instead of the freedom, and the pride of earning one's own way, for themselves and their families, thru good, solid, full time jobs with benefits, for people, instead of encouraging them to lay around all day waiting for the next Government Handout.
There are so many more that are still off the books. Nothing but sheer arrogance from the top.
And how did McStupid have McNaughton sponsor his driver for a meritorious spot even though he wasn't qualified? McStupe was told that he did not qualify and McStupe said he didn't care and pushed through the undeserved merit promotion.
How come nobody is looking into THAT? Did the driver ever even work for McNaughton?
Want to kill crime? Hire many more coppers, was at academy talking to friend who works there she said hiring is almost at stand still, very few new coppers hired, I was hired in 87 huge classes 85-86-87 mayor Harold Washington hired so many rapidly like him or hate him but he knew we were a necessary part of the budget! Now many will be retiring next year 'whatcha gonna do rahm?"
Your pumping this city with more illegals jamming them down our throats, taking our tax money,instead of doing things to make city better a safe city is a better city, now fund the required pension dollars, hire more coppers, cut alderthieves to 8 max, throw out all liberal judges, ship incarcerated criminals to the prairies of Wyoming, make prison real, throw out weights, give the animals only enough food to survive so they don't come out as strong animals but as weak kittens!
The only thing that rahm and garry should be plugging and thanking the chicago medical professionals in those trauma hospitals that have kept their murder rate lower. Better trauma care with multiple trauma centers available is the only reduction murder rate that they can brag about.
Yeah but at least McFailure's "quirks" in his CompStat lies didn't count the Dan Ryan homicide even though it clearly happened in the city.
Spin, spin, spin and when all else fails lie, lie, lie.
I am so tired of hearing from Rahm and McCarthy. These two are totally incompetent and more people should be pissed off about their mismanagement of our city.
Someone else should run for mayor because the expectations have been set pretty low by the Rahm Administration.
His arrogance is HUGE when he is up against someone questioning his decisions, but it's nowhere to be found when he is up against crime.
Why is that??????
I would vote Trump in anyday for Mayor. At least he can back up his arrogance.
The death of the guy in Lincoln Park was only classified a homicide after his family began raising Holy Hell.
this guy was headed to the Liar's Club west of Ashland. He was going there for the same reason as anybody else and got his head beaten in on the way. Idea: SUE THE CITY!

Never been 1,000 retired in a year,never will be. As far as your class goes if all 12 go, big deal 12 out of a 1,000.
For decades you hear all this crap about everyone leaving. Never happens. First they were all leaving because of the wage compression, before that the age of retirement was lowered to 50 so everyone would leave.
Last year they had trouble getting the 100 to sign up for the free healthcare when they retired at 55.
would someone please slap these dumb ass doctors! do they not realize what their practicing on subhumans are costing the human tax payers? tell these lifesavers to bill the shithead they saved and not me!!!
Is Tom Skilling bringing in the "Polar Vortex" at Rahm's behest?
Great...they'll be Bar-b-quing in the bathtubs again. CFD-get ready!
Skilling-talk about a guy that just can't get things right...
Hey, I'll tell ya this. The new coppers in 009 R a bunch of sharp kids. Mistakenly I thought they were weak or spoiled perhaps, but these kids R some tough bastards that I'm happy to see every day.
