Three Year Old Shot
- Three people are in custody Saturday in a Southwest Side shooting that left a 3-year-old boy critically injured Friday evening, police said.
Jason Ares suffered a through and through gunshot wound to the abdomen about 10 p.m. Friday in front of his home in the 4400 block of South Sacramento, according to police and family members.
Sandra Steve, the boy's aunt, said her sister and the boy's father heard gunshots and peaked between two homes when someone fired shots from the front of the home, striking the toddler.
A group of two females and a male walked past Jason and his family, and when they reached the end of the block, the male turned around and fired, striking the boy in the right hip and abdomen, police said.
Gang related again, but sure to be blamed on the gun and not a culture that believes it perfectly acceptable to shoot in the hood at people walking with children no matter who or what is in the path of the bullets.

Hey Garry!
Why dontcha just roll out that ol' reliable "Magic Carpet O' Guns?"
This TIME, it might have the desired effect...
>Snicker!<
Why don't you New Yuck carpetbaggers load up your gaudily painted Law Enforcement Gypsy wagon and rattle the fuck out of town?
You goofs ought to be getting good and fucking tired of running from city to city to city (New Yuck, Newark and Chicago) trying to stay a step ahead of the Feds who seem to be drafting your big clown asses like it's the Daytona 500...
Funny... Everywhere you goofs have been, the Federals are sitting your former local henchmen down for a chat.
Compstat is the kiss of death for every Police Department that applies it.
>Pffft!<
Second coming of Sir Robert Peel in a dead dog's hockey dot...
>Stomps foot<
Now GIT!
>Feet scampering...<
You jokers sold the tax payers of this city a bill of goods and should be forced to make restitution for the salary and benefits you've stolen.
Heh. Oh shit. Wait...
That'll be like prying a real time dollar out of Rahm's gnarled, tightly clenched little Gollum fist for the recently discovered red light camera manipulation by the city.
Bunch o' fuckin' thieves thick as flies on horse shit on a sunny day here in Chicago.
Why is this city so peculiarly, persistently and deeply afflicted?
Guess that brown clown thing ain't working out to well, sending in CCSPD to help out. Crickets being heard over at Dart's office?
"Scene of the crime: 'It's spreading, spreading more over here'"
By Peter Nickeas Tribune reporter

"The 3-year-old boy was outside with his mother, her boyfriend and another man about 10 p.m. Friday night in the Brighton Park neighborhood on the Southwest Side.
"The child isn’t old enough to know what a Satan’s Disciple or Two-Sixer is, let alone comprehend all the things that can mean in a neighborhood like this one. But in Chicago, gang conflicts have a way of consuming the neighborhoods where they occur and noncombatants often become an unwilling and unknowing participant.
"The child was shot in the chest Friday night, a victim of his mother’s affiliations, said police...
Now tell me about "parenting" again...
Dawn Turner Trite's column in Sunday's Trib reveals the apologist perspective which ensures that lots and lots more kids will continue to get shot in Chicago.
Sickening.
Was shortie working security?
Got a jab outta shorty's diaper last week but I let him slide cause he said it was his brother's diaper.
Word!
KIA, Vietnam soldier grew up on that very block, Ricky Rohas (sp?), I am sorry that you were killed for our FREEDOM to see what has become of Brighton Park. Grammar police I know that sentence was poorly written but I am sickened by what has happened to Ricky's block, a Gunsaulas and Kelly graduate.
Genetics is a thing.
End welfare, its dysgenic.
It's the same story in Killwaukee except that chief, mayor and neighborhood actually does give a shit.
Some, such as University of Chicago economist Steven Levitt, have argued that COMPSTAT's crime-reducing effects have been minor.The introduction of COMPSTAT happened alongside:
The training and deployment of around 5,000 new better-educated police officers
The integration of New York's housing and transit police into the New York Police Department
Police decision-making being devolved to precinct level
The clearing of a backlog of 50,000 unserved warrants
Robust "zero tolerance" campaign against petty crime and anti-social behavior under Mayor Giuliani and Police Commissioner Bill Bratton
Widespread removal of graffiti
Programs that moved over 500,000 people into jobs from welfare at a time of economic buoyancy
Housing vouchers to enable poor families to move to better neighborhoods
Gentrification, displacement of lower income individuals more likely to commit crimes from gentrifying or gentrified communities
Demographic changes including a generation raised in the social welfare systems started in the 1970s and 1980s
End of the crack epidemic and a shift to a marijuana-based drug economy with a larger consumer base and less competition
Advances in emergency medicine allowing more victims to survive
A further reduction in the lead contaminates in the environment
Another criticism of the COMPSTAT program is that it may discourage officers from taking crime reports in order to create a false appearance of a reduction of community problems. According to journalist Radley Balko, "some recent reports from New York City suggest the program needs some tweaking to guard against the twin dangers of unnecessary police harassment and underreporting of serious crimes." An anonymous survey of "hundreds of retired high-ranking police officials . . . found that tremendous pressure to reduce crime, year after year, prompted some supervisors and precinct commanders to distort crime statistics."
Similarly, crimes may be reported but downplayed as less significant, to manipulate statistics. As an illustration, before a department begins using CompStat it might list 100 assaults as aggravated and 500 as simple assault. If there were a similar pattern of underlying criminal activity the next year, but instead 550 assaults are listed in CompStat as simple and 50 as aggravated, the system would report that progress had been made reducing major crimes when in fact, the only difference is in how they are reported.
Manipulating reporting data may also negatively affect personnel and financial disbursement; communities whose improvements (on paper) show they need less resources could lose those resources—and still face the same amount of actual crime on the streets.
Many of these negative effects in the possible weaknesses of the COMPSTAT system were dramatized in HBO's The Wire, as part of an overarching theme of systemic dysfunction in institutions. Indeed, "[o]ne of the central themes of the critically acclaimed HBO series . . . was the pressure politicians put on police brass, who then apply it to the department’s middle management, to generate PR-friendly statistics about lowering crime and increasing arrests."[16] In the show, this was referred to as "juking the stats".
The issue was further publicized in 2010 when NYPD officer Adrian Schoolcraft released recordings of his superiors urging him to manipulate data.

MY TAKE: CompStat is a generic phrase but how it's designed and used varies widely across the country. Data is necessary and has been around since the days of "pin maps." It's not the data that's evil but misuse. If data shows crime trends and where additional resources should be deployed, fine. Data also has to be stacked up against nonquantitiative factors that are learned from experience.

Well blue bal-less, shootings were down for the weekend since their arrival. They're welcome here anytime!
And how would you know what's going on, around the floor of Darts office unless you perhaps were there on your knees?
