Frank Main Gives Credit
- The first two shootings didn’t kill them.
But the third one did.
Two recent Chicago murder victims survived earlier gunshot wounds before they were killed, police confirmed Thursday.
And the very last line of the article:
- The Second City Cop blog first reported that Wright and Weekly were previously shot before their murders.
We actually only learned about Weekly from our readers, so credit goes to all. We're sure these aren't the only two - we know a few of criminal types who have been shot six, seven or more times. Modern medicine is marvel sometimes.
Frank does a good job outlining the circumstances leading up to the multiple woundings leading up to their eventual demise. We'd like to see some follow-up though, like why is this acceptable behavior in these neighborhoods? Why are the police expected to stop this nonsense? How is a force that is short almost 3-to-4,000 officers from peak strength in the 1990's and without a meaningful citywide response unit supposed to accomplish anything meaningful against an entrenched culture of dope, death and destruction?

What kind of cretin from the shallow end of the gene pool, sticks around a location where he has been shot on multiple occasions? Is he waiting for those who disapprove of him to get luck and kill him?
I would like to know how the the Link Card and all the Welfare Entitlements are officially closed out so we do not keep paying for this detritus.
Can you ask that tough question Frank Main?
"...How is a force that is short almost 3-to-4,000 officers from peak strength in the 1990's and without a meaningful citywide response unit supposed to accomplish anything meaningful against an entrenched culture of dope, death and destruction?"
Note to Mayor Emanuel and Mr. McCarthy: In reference to above matter please have hard historically accurate numbers regarding police manpower available to discuss at upcoming news conferences and speaking engagements.
You will be asked.

"...The Second City Cop blog first reported that Wright and Weekly were previously shot before their murders. ..."
J-Fled said no one reads this insignificant blog, and there's a group of bosses at 35th St that want to shut it down.
SCC, you can smile a little wider and stick your chest out a bit too.

You are the scapegoats and whipping boys to distract the proles from the 50 years of failed policies of the Democrat Party. They have destroyed the fabric of poor families. Their unionized and university educated communists and grievance studies majors are destroying public schools. They are failing children in ALL the major cities.
And their policies are driving out the Chicago middle class. Rahm is running out of other people's money. (Good luck with your pensions! Suckers!)
Curious will com stat count this as only one homicide now and delete the 2 previous shooting injuries?
So one piece of garbage gang banger was shot 3 times ???
@ $250k cost to taxpayers per shooting?
$750,000 taxpayers paid for 1 guy??
I say let them kill each other the first time. Im sick of my tax dollars going towards patching up gang bangers.
Rahm and Garry need to stop stealing police resources from taxpayers to give to the ghetto scum !!
There is a lesson to be learned here.
If your last name begins with a "W" and you have been shot twice before---stay home.
Being retired and having fled that shitty, I can appreciate your insignificance. Thanks SCC.
There were 943 homicides in 1992 with the department at full strength (13,500). It was, and has always been about gang, drugs, and gun violence. I was on the job and it was non-stop rock and roll. However, it was not a story like it is now. Can you imagine the media reaction to 943?
Loyola Medical Center reports this past week on one of its interweb sites that the average cost of a gun shot victim in their hospital is $520,000! And given the type of clientele that are brought to Loyola with gun shot wounds you can bet that the $520,000 is billed to the state which ultimately comes out of the tax paying citizen's pocket! So, the 82 shot last weekend in Chicago alone cost the tax paying citizenry of this shithole state over $42 million!! $42,000,000 in one fucking weekend!!

It amazes me that an entity that is so protected under our constitution with free speech rights denies it from the people they supposedly serve.
Because of that, I will never pay for that paper.
WTF !!! You mean the Custom Notifications didn't prevent these?
...if they were in jail maybe they would be alive today.
Thank your elected officials and appointed judges for basically free guns, ammo, booze,weed and of course boot camp parole.
I would like for Mr. Main to sit in to the various Cook Co courts and see the thugs getting a free pass on gun charges.
Keep voting Democrat.
Weekly had also escaped from custody while cuffed a week before he was killed. No sign of the cuffs when his body was discovered.
Chicago Values! Ask Rahm, he'll explain it and justify it as long as they vote Democrat.
As usual the fine blog runners the "spirits of the air" are correct, everyone who wants honest information, a laugh, a kind word, real information on how clout is given, truth-justice-the American way (like the old cartoon underdog) SCC as usual you do so much for nothing, your time is valuable who are you? Who are we? That goof merit lieutenant would like to shut you down, nope that asshat will be shut down he needs to just shut up!
SCC the best the brightest thank you!!!
SCC, you lose a lot of credibility when you toss around those BS staffing numbers like they're gospel. Whether you like it or not, our maximum sworn staffing was about 13,500 (maybe a dozen or so more when we overfilled for a few months in anticipation of retirements) and we currently have just over 12,000 on the active payroll (paying into the pension). So not 3000 or 4000, but 1500. That's the reality. Now that's still under budgeted strength by a couple of hundred, but not that absurd number.
Because that's exactly the way the politicians want it. Only the strongest savage shall survive!
Those two must not have gotten a custom notification.
Now they're permanently off the list. Thank God their sperm is gone from the earth.
Not kidding, while the city was going up for grabs McPasty was sunning himself and knocking back a few cold ones on the sun deck at the East Bank club.
"We'd like to see some follow-up though, like why is this acceptable behavior in these neighborhoods?"
Well, I don't think you'll ever see THAT.
Good job on Frank Main where giving credit where it was due. And an even better job to SCC for pointing it out in the first place.
Insignificant blog lol! Advertisers look at how profitable media could be,with all the visitors this blog is worth around 1.5 million! But would it ever be sold? No! You can't sell "spirits" of hard working coppers,who,look here for relief and to distress, and vent!
Where would reporters get their news if not for this insignificant blog?
Need to overhaul the saturation teams and get some police officers with some time on the job who know what their doing. Pissers, drinkers and long forming traffic is not what these teams should be focusing on. I see some of these teams and it's a joke to see the caliber of officer working on these teams. God help us.
Someone had raised a good question. If patrol is making all these immediate without delay notifications on aggravated batteries with firearms, what exactly do the analysts of this information do with this time sensitive information? The standard operating procedure is to send out a D.O.C. bulletin or C.P.I.C. message via the PDTs. If the elite plainclothes units were to have made a field interview, documented this street stop on a contact card and sweated this identified gangsta, a protective pat down would have revealed the same gun located on his gangland murdered corpse at the scene. Hello, was anyone even assigned a follow up given all the potential murder violence indicating red flags?
Isn’t the responsibility for follow up investigations regarding further violence tasked to the elite units at the former Sears warehouse building? You can bet your bottom dollar you will not get a straight answer at Com Stat from the Homan commandos citing an operation is in progress. Are the elite gang units actually reviewing crime conditions, connecting the dots and formulating a patrol strategy to stop this deadly madness? Someone alluded to a similar instance of previous aggravated batteries prior to a homicide in the second district. Sounds like inattention to duty in a bureau other than patrol, doesn’t it? Maybe the time has come for these elite units need to be assigned a box in a zone just like the established VRI model.
Meanwhile, Frank Main begins a July 3 piece with:
"Gun-rights advocates have delivered a one-two punch to the city of Chicago.
The first blow came on Jan. 6 when a federal judge ruled the city’s longtime ban on gun stores was unconstitutional.
On Thursday, the second blow landed when the judge approved $940,000 in legal fees that the city must pay to the attorneys who challenged the ban..."
Kind of sounds like the "gun-rights advocates" are the bad guys here. Last I checked, it was the City of Chicago (not city, mind you) who brought this mess upon themselves. Main seems to do a solid job over at the Sun-Times. Doesn't appear pro-2A though based on this and other material I've read by him.
And exactly how much of our tax money went to medically treat this POS each time he got shot? I want to see how much money is spent each year treating these thugs who get shot up. And how much the hospitals ever get from these assholes. They said in one article that county doesn't even send bills to them or even attempt to recover funds. Can't we deduct it from their link, wic, subsidized housing, etc. We can't keep supporting these parasites forever.
Going back to the mid 1960's there has always been a City-Wide response unit. From the guys with the TF (Task Force) on their designator shoulder patch to SOG, SOS and the rest there always was such a unit. The numbers changed, manpower etc. When Tailgunner Joe McCarthy had it I believe he had his own army of around 700. Sort of like Colonel Kurtz and his Montagnard army. Always. Until nitwits Rahm Emanuel and Garry McCarthy came into the picture. And now it is FUBAR. Totally.
OT: Douchebag 2nd watch Sergeant on the 2nd watch in the 24th district. Spiteful nasty troll who smokes two packs a day and stews over how she never made Lt. all these years. P.N. time to retire and play with your 12 dogs.

The Progressive Democrats brought those lawsuits, not we the people. Send the bill to Mayor Emmanuel and the Democratic Party.

Well, where ELSE would a self-absorbed celebrity be?
Man cited so bad examples aloong with SCC. No way the department is 3,000 to 4,000 short.
Heres a few statistics that might surprise everyone In 1994, 12,351sworn, in 2010 12,244 sworn, basically the same amount of sworn.
Now heres the part no one wants to hear.
In 1994 850 murders
In 2010 437 murders
stats can be verified at this link

Speaking of worthless newsies, that hack Sneed is back from her bender... Maybe she can again wax poetic ad nauseam on her crush, Paddy D.
...Eeee-Yuk already!
Shameless Hag!

Now what IF...
any one of those shooting victims is a law-abiding, gainfully employed citizen who has insurance like Blue Cross/Blue Shield or Humana?

Look at your current property tax bill and see just how much you personally have to pay for the cook county hospital medical fund. Kinda makes you feel warm all over knowing that you are doing your part... NOT!!!
Main is actually a good reporter when he's not blowing Sheriff Dart

And here's the most important part. Medical science has made leaps and bounds. If we were still using 1994 medical technology the 2010 total would be at least doubled if not more. Look at the number of people shot; that's the true measure.

If these statistics are true (pardon my skepticism, everyone lies) then this Department is completely mismanaged. How is this possible? How are there almost no officers available to patrol the better areas where the tax payers live?
The only logical conclusion would be that the areas like narcotics, and the like, are WAY over staffed. We have been told to all but ignore most minor offenses because we can't take a copper off the streets. What happened to "Broken Windows"? How idiotic is that?
He's my Main Man, time to watch Judge Wapner.
