cBS Discovers Drugs in Chicago
Maybe the organizers of RiotFest are having second thoughts?
- [21 May 15] The new home of Riot Fest is already home to junkies, CBS 2 has learned.
A viewer said the park is littered with used hypodermic needles. And sure enough, that’s just what CBS 2 [...] found.
Those discarded needles are just feet from where children play. It took a news crew less than a minute to find the dangerous debris.
And a followup yesterday:
- [26 May 15] Today, CBS 2 [,,,] returned to Douglas Park and found more needles in the park, but unlike last week when it took a day for Chicago Park District crews to pick up the needles CBS 2 reported, there were crews already on the lookout for the dangerous drug paraphernalia.
They are in the corners, in the crevices and on the ground mixed in with leaves: needles and empty baggies that once held drugs.
Today, Park District employees used gloves and a special receptacle to dispose of some of the debris.
This has been one of the biggest heroin spots in existence for decades, but cBS is just figuring this out now when a bunch of white people will be using the park for a music festival that produces a massive number of ...[irony alert!]... drug overdoses!
Good thing there are two hospitals within walking distance and four more just a stone throw away.
Hey, we were just wondering - did anyone over at the Parks waive the fees for RiotFest the way they just did for the NFL?

Rockfest is Chicago's tribute to the musical arts.
Dumb stroke of a city. Needles and Leaves....and the Park District didn't know about this till now. Get real. Maybe the hospitals should set-up a tent city to administrate to the ill and the ill-defined.
Not Rahm I.'s fault if city festivals attract diabetics in droves 10000x their normal distribution in the population. Listen to Michelle O. and quit puttin sugar in yo sweet tea.

"Gloves"
"Special container?"
"Reasonable accomodation" for the "differently abled."

Junkies are uncaring slobs? Who knew that?
Thank God HIV is relatively fragile and does not last long on surfaces.
"It took a news crew less than a minute to find the dangerous debris."
..the same "news crews" who have covered Bud Billiken for decades and somehow have never gotten an inch of footage of people f__ing on the hoods of parked cars in broad daylight..."Pride Parade" ditto...
Point and scream at the bag of flaming dog s__t they put there before they rang the bell and ran away...
Chief Of The Boat comes to mind, this time right after Memorial Day. Honored to have walked the same deck with you, Sir. What you said was not only always right but often extremely funny.
Sir.
How I wish we could split a bottle a Benchmark today..and fall down howling.
What we have gained...and what we have lost.

Maybe there should be a nickle deposit on them
like pop bottles.
Yeah CBS Still has there head so far up there ASS , they haven't heard of Drugs being used in Parks yet ,That Park is a Skid Row of Chicago ., Plus they don't want to say that any part of Chicago is bad , because there to busy kissing the Mayors Ass on how beautiful Chicago is. ANYTHING BUT THE TRUTH
Hopefully, after ice cube performs "fuck the police" to the cheers of many, the police allow nature to take its course as the crowds leave...
This is how gentrifivation works. Let's send the junkies somewhere else
Seeing as how well the snitch boxes worked, it would seem like a good idea to nail the sharpie boxes that we see in doctor's offices and in some washrooms for the disposal of needles, onto the trees in the park.
NO WAY?!!
criminal street gangs are to the EAST, NORTH, WEST, and SOUTH....expect unusual amount of gang disturbance calls and shots fired!
Maybe the city could move Puerto Rican Fest over to Douglas Park. Better yet, why don't they have all the city fests in Douglas Park? It seems to be ok for the white suburban kids to have their fest their, then why not everyone else?
The NFL fees were waived and they received prime real estate for their fest.
Apparently white lives don't matter.
Are you sure it wasn't the promoters of Riot Fest just getting the park ready?
Wait till those so called theft of cell phones start happening!
The lambs walking into to the slaughter drunk With lagunitas wandering the west side.
So is RIOT fest hiring off duty PO's yet? Alderman Cardenas (HDO) famous for water tax sees dollar signs!
I see a new permanent park car detail in the near future. Rahm will call McCarthy. Can't have bad press.
The Obama Libarry will have special garbage cans around the facility for dope fiends to safely dispose of their needles. We sure wouldn't want to drive tourist away from the wonderful future attraction.
Don't forget about the several hundred private ambulance runs that will also occur during the event.
(OT) Baltimore anarchy "first there was over policing now there's no policing" hello mayor states attorney in Baltimore what do you say now?
http://baltimore.cbslocal.com/2015/05/28/baltimore-residents-fearful-amid-rash-of-homicides/
So why not Humbolt Park for Riot fest? The neighborhood is "not" Puerto Rican anymore. The folks around Douglas park don't like that style of music..
"Stones?" Somebody say "The Stones" is gonna play? Loves The bleedin Stones. Keef and Mick are quite groovie, U see? "Heart Breaker with your 44!" Who's it bloody well talking about that did that, eh? Another African American who took a bullet to his heart and ya bloody well don't hear em talking about that now, do ya, now, mate?
It wasn't the bleedin "Steel Wheel Chairs" tour of 1997 that I mets me my wife. She's pouring me me tea right now or else She'd tell ya too, SCC, me mates and such. The best bleedin Stone's Album is really "Sticky Finger" and not "Exile on Main Street!"
Bugger off, SCC, if Ya bloody well think otherwise cuz it's a proven fact. Just like the leader of your Organization put a bullet through a kids heart like it say in the song.
Why in'ent anybody saying anything about that? This is BULOX, SCC !
Haven't used a needle since "Altimont" but I thoughts the word was out that her-oh-in is a bloody mess, it is. Did it come back again cuz I'll bleedin tell the rest of em "Hey(hey) You(you) Get off a My Cloud!"
Needles? Bloody hell I'm dealing with that bloody shit again, me mate.
Now that I'm all started up by the news of the the bleedin Stones, what's a Matta which you, buwoy? There's a kid with a bullet in his heart and bloody hell am I gonna sit here and take that.
It's me opinion, wrong or otherwise, if The CPD keeps on shooting people in New York like me Stone's Song tells me then how can Ya not expect things to go wrong. Me teas arrived now, SCC and me and the Missus is going enjoy our morning we is, so clean up the bloody needles or I'll be bangin like a Charlie Watts!
SCC, You People is gonna makes me want go running for the shelter of me missus's "Mother's Little Helper."
There is also needles in CTA stations with the homeless using heroine needles. Humboldt park is imfamous for dope users and drunks. All parks have needle user including Lincoln park. Most heroine users go to the parks at night and in the morning needles everywhere. Nothing new!
I cannot believe it ! NO WAY there are those new fangled drugs at Douglas Park. Thank you so much CBS for letting us all know. I feel so much safer now. I may stop by after work with the kids.
Here is the solution, pass a City Ordinance making it illegal to discard hypodermic syringes in the park. Then have signs made with a syringe in a red circle with a line through it, like the one for guns. Than put them up all over. That should take care of the problem soon enough dad gummit.
The *obvious solution* to ridding the Park grounds of being riddled with used needles -- which no one can deny is a *Public Health Hazard* -- is for *the city*....(get ready)....(ya'll better sit down).....(hold onto your wallets).... to build 'Heroin Huts' in the all Parks for Junkies to shoot-up in, and where they can also safely dispose of used needles and empty packs of heroin.
They don't have to be elaborate 'Huts', either. Just Four Walls, a Roof, Windows & Doors, Benches to sit on while they shoot-up, and Bio-Hazard Rated Trash Cans. Oh and a little Heat & Air Conditioning, Lighting & electricty with wall outlets, Plumbing with Mens Womens & 'Others' Bathrooms, Hot & Cold running water (with Showers in each bathroom), and a Wall Phone that only dials 9-1-1 --- needed for the occasional over-dose. Why I bet they wouldn't cost more than a mere $3,000,000 Dollars each.
After all, "It's For The Children", and nobody hates 'the children' right? So City Property Tax Bills will go up a bit, big deal. Just Think Of The Children!!! when you're writing that check and all will be a-okay!
See, problem solved. And I don't even work for the city. :-)
(sarcasm /OFF)
I used to say "I hope Chicago does not turn into a Detroit" but now I say
"I hope Chicago does not turn into a Baltimore".
"Baltimore's black residents complain the Baltimore Police Department has stopped doing its job of patrolling the streets, but when this same police force does its job and arrests a known heroin dealer this same black population riots/loots/attacks cops/and burns buildings."

The city is broke, but they waived the NFL fees!!!???
Maybe they'll also rind the grass on the field. Let's play ball. Media gives themselves too much credit
I like that idea, 6:34am! Puerto Rican Fest in Douglas park. Tired of the nonsense outside my condo.
I can't wait to hear the stories of the hipsters, who as group hate cops, start being victims on the way to or from Douglas Park.
A big shout out to the 2nd watch LT in 015!
A, contact cards are not to be used for statistical purposes.
B, contact cards are not a factor in employee performance evaluations.
C, contact cards are not important to citizen who only wants a report.
D. Contact cards are witten on the bases of reasonable suspicion.
So if your bricked from 35th street and have drank from the merit - kool aid
Jug, please do the world a favor leave your stupid comments about doing contact cards
Were they belong. In your office with no responsibility other than chasing that LT check !
Like the cop who told the lady robbery victim on the news last night, in Lincoln park get a ccl
I want to see Snoop Dogg bow to the wow,and get my medical card yeah,that's how Chiraq rolls,I'm retired so no more p test for me!
On another note arrests plummeting in Baltimore, crowds of thugs surrounding police on calls, almost why bother to respond anymore? You want to act like animals in a jungle, police have to be extremely cautious, police need an over abundance of caution! "Police lives matter" "Blue lives matter" that should be on the protestors signs that's what really matters now correct? On to the subject "Junkie park" been like that a long time what will they do, when a few thousand "urban pioneers" show up and want to rock this pathetic area? over/under phone thefts? Robberies? Violence? We did not get the name Chiraq for no reason, its reality!
Thank God HIV is relatively fragile and does not last long on surfaces.

The operative word is "on". Hypodermic needles shelter the virus within them, making them effective disease vectors.
Just noticed you subtle humor SCC in the title cBS! Thanks got it!
white suburban music goers in douglas park = livestock at chiapetti @ 39/halsted
The way we're going, it'll be free sterile needle dispensers at the gate of all RahmFinancialFamilyFest productions.
"Harm reduction," and all that.

"It all started about a year ago when I began noticing more homeless men in the Chicago neighborhood where I work. Back of the Yards is a community that faces some of the city’s toughest problems: joblessness, crime, drug use.
"Many of these men would be sitting in doorways or shuffling along, many times asking for money.
"One day, I asked one of them: “Where are you from?” He told me a story that I later heard again and again and again.
"The men told me they were from Puerto Rico. They were addicted to heroin and they ended up in Chicago because someone in Puerto Rico drove them to the airport and put them on a plane with a one-way ticket to Chicago.
"They were promised a great rehab place, with over-the-top services and plenty of medical staff. One of them is Angel, a short and dark-skinned man. He’s missing most of his top teeth. He said he came to Chicago from Puerto Rico seven years ago for help kicking a heroin addiction.
“Somebody told my family is one rehab in Chicago got nurse, got pool, got medication, when I get here I no see nothing,” he said.
"Angel said that when he landed in Chicago he was met at the airport and taken to a place that definitely had no pool. That place didn’t have social workers or doctors. Instead, it was just a rundown building with other addicts trying to stay clean, sleeping on dirty mattresses on the floor, going cold turkey.
"Other guys told me something that was hard to believe. They said that it was the police in Puerto Rico who had driven them to the airport and put them on the plane to Chicago..."

Yo,iz they any throwed down drive-by gats to be found lying around D-Park?? Cause you knowz I be needin me one!
alderman Maldonado doesn't like white people. Puerto Rican fest uses officers from all districts because of problems. Riot fest doesn't make districts restrict time off like Puerto Rican fest! The overdoses are more common at lollapalooza. I've been going to riot fest for years. And I'm not going because it's at Douglas park. It's not ok to endanger people because riot fest organizers didn't fix the park damage fast enough from last year!! It was fixed! Weather can't be predicted it happens! Thank you alderman and Emmanuel you should be ashamed of your selves! If people get hurt or robbed it's on you!!
On a different note, please see this segment on ABC:
http://abc7chicago.com/news/lakeview-retailer-robbed-by-men-dressed-as-women/745222/
If the police don't respond to tax paying citizens that are victims of crime,
do you think the tax paying citizens give a damn about police loosing their pensions?
wait for the CBS punchline....."and it's the CPD's fault"....you know it's coming out of the social fascist media (ala CBS)

And Chicago welcomes its new Democratic voters with open arms.
Douglas park , maybe the hipsters will start buying up property , nice brewery a few blocks east of the park .
Wear your Kevlar tank top and shorts .
Douglas park in the summer, what could go wrong??? Let's add snoop dog to the mix, it'll be fine, 010 isn't busy anyway... Hope 010 and all the surrounding districts have their plans made up, that's going to be a shit show.
Hey SCC
You gotta post this.

Off topic: why does the female city employee while working at the gas pumps @ 37th & Iron need to walk around the gas pumps with her clipboard asking mileage need to be smoking every time I'm there? I asked her to stay back while I was fueling up and her response was her cigarette is not an open flame. Really?!
(OT) the great conservative writer Ann Coulter says in her new researched book that 1/4 of Mexico population is here most illegally, putting stress on our economy, health care, housing,schools everything! Looking around the city with all the freebies that we pay for, it's like an invasion, been living in Garfield ridge 39 years the last 2 have been trying! More section 8 designed by the elected to destroy once clean nice tax paying areas! What's going to happen as people who can leave who pays the bills? Alderman Burke, Alderman Quinn sliced up the area, butchered the 23rd ward so they obviously could try to obtain the Caucasian votes, Alderman Zalewski was stretched all the way to Kedzie, what gives? This is like when we lived in the old 14th ward and it "changed" around 53rd and Halsted Visitation Parish, and the real estate broker came in and told the white people you will not have your house insurance renewal in this area a process called "Red Lining" people moved in droves, drive around that area totally destroyed few if any taxes being paid, why not Keep section 8 there? The government pays high section 8 rent in Garfield ridge and now mount greenwood areas why not follow "if you can't afford it you don't get it" but then again government produces nothing but the heavily burdened taxpayers pay and pay! The companies renting these section 8 homes hmm wonder if they are doing it "the Chicago way?" 📩

Hey raise the retirement age to 66.Drop dead at 67 collect no pension. I have been retired 7 years, no COLA making same amount of pension money. 3% would be nice.
5/28/2015 10:04:00 AM
I called pension board to ask but no answers? What do you think is the average amount of years a copper collects a pension before going to the great police reunion in the sky? I'm 54 and noticing many brothers and sisters in blue with various sometimes seriously dangerous medical conditions, probably 1/2 stress related issues!
Did they run into Hosea Sanders shooting up?
Have not stepped on a needle in Humboldt Park East for 10 years....why shouldn't Douglas Park get cleaned up too? Humboldt Park is gentrified west to Kimball. It's not going west of Pulaski because that is the real west side that was great until 20 years ago when Humboldt Patk started selling and moved west down Grand. Hello 025!!! Time for the 010th to pick up steam. FYI: There are needles all over Lincoln Park if you look...higher, older class of Junkie there. They bury or hide their works off the beaten path of children and dogs.
All those barefoot rock and rollers...
Dirty Needle Douglas Park is just four blocks away from the black ops epicenter for CPD’s top tier grade “A” gangbusters, undercover narcos and the most cerebral intel unit. Lots of talent, but little initiative to stop drug distribution, sales and use in and around Collins H.S., Johnson Elementary and Chalmers Elementary Schools. I would say the park is within 1000ft of any of these schools so those statutory penalties are enhanced. And about 2000 feet from OCD headquarters. What a joke!!!
A mile east of the location is the federal arm of what is considered law enforcement or the FBI at Leavitt and Roosevelt. Need I say more. They are a fucking joke too. They drive up and down Roosevelt with their blinders on oblivious to the hand to hand transactions and chorus of gangland gunfire. They are not interested since they can’t bag a police officer doing dirt or prosecute a police officer for some nonsense dealing with swivel rights after taking action to address crime and disorder.
This park is located across from the 011th District which is arguably the nation’s largest open air market for crack cocaine, heroin and reefer. Don’t forget Safe Haven rehab on the corner of California and Roosevelt Road. This H.U.D. financed housing includes numerous addicts and assorted criminals who reside conspicuously across the street from a public grammar school. Its way too convenient for clean, sober, recovering publically subsidized addicts to buy a bag of China White brand heroin on Roosevelt, go into the shadows of Douglas Park, cook up the product and then do that much needed relief from a mainline jab and emerge from the shadows into the real world. And leave their Hepatitis C and HIV infected rigs behind for curious children to play with.
Where is the outcry from parents of these schools whose children who want to play in a safe park not some junkies paradise? Inner city parents should march on city hall, the county building and Washington DC to get their voices heard. Lots of failed government on so many levels putting the fragile eggshell schoolchildren at risk with lots of exposure to junkies, hypes, drug dealers, drug addicts and the like when they commute to and from school and when they seek refuge in the park from the violent inner city neighborhoods which a compassionate government spawned.
One has to ask where are those Park district employees who routinely inspect and maintain the grounds. Is it just a paycheck or are they too lazy to care. I'm sure they would point fingers at the police, but how can a Park District employee disregard the safety of the children with obvious drug paraphenalia littering green mother earth?
There is any collection of Puerto Rican addicts proliferating in the area of Washtenaw and Cermak also relocated here via a useless U.S. possession. All collect public assistance and conveniently are on Section 8 in a scam by a few landlords. Its awful, the 010th District has been overwhelmed by this shiftless consuming crime population. Its like a Mariel boatlift courtesy of Puerto Rico to the Second City.

Phony "AA" Buildings in Chicago Used in Abusive Rehab As Puerto Rico Ships Its Addicts Here
"I asked Carlos, one of the first guys I heard the story from, to show me the rehab place where he ended up."
Finally, I saw a tiny sign in an upstairs window. It was a version of the AA logo.
"The first time I tried to visit, I went through a narrow doorway and up a steep staircase. At the top was an open room. Men were hanging around, smoking cigarettes."
"I called the headquarters of Alcoholics Anonymous; a representative there said they have nothing to do with these rehab places."
"Addicts sleep there, eat there and they are not supposed to leave for the first three months. Drive along parts of Western or Cermak in Chicago and you’ll see the buildings. Most of them have ‘24 hours’ written in Spanish on their sign, next to an AA logo."
"I checked with Joseph Lokaitis, a public service administrator with DASA, the Division of Alcoholism and Substance Abuse under the Department of Human Services, but he said he had no idea that these unofficial treatment groups existed."
"I went to the city department of planning and development, which gives permits for residential drug treatment centers. They had no records."
"These facilities spring up now and then. They’re run by former addicts and they’re easy to fold up, move and relocate."
"He [Manuel] told me what a lot of other guys had — the ‘treatment’ there was mostly a lot of yelling and harsh behavior.
"When Manuel walked out, he left his ID and other documents. He said he tried to get them back, but was turned away."
http://www.orange-papers.org/forum/node/6460
Nice photos of the abandoned houses these people end up squatting in. "Rehab with doctors and nurses and a swimming pool," right. Anything to get them on that plane...
Couldn't be drugs, they've all got Type 2 diabetes from eating all that fast food and now they have to inject insulin. Not!
Maldonado is gonna regret making up lies!... If there is heroine being shot at any park is the city's fault where are the coppers where are the park security?
OT) the great conservative writer Ann Coulter says in her new researched book that 1/4 of Mexico population is here most illegally, putting stress on our economy, health care, housing,schools everything!
And the blacks are really getting pissed about that too! Cutting into their life long scam, taking what they believe is theirs-a natural obligatory right: Hand Outs-black lives matter!
