Boystown Wilding

No serious coverage in the established media outlets, but over an another "insignificant blog:"
  • Video has begun to emerge of Saturday morning's looting of the Boystown Circle K convenience store at Halsted and Addison.

    As CWB reported exclusively here yesterday, a Chicago police officer who happened upon the scene shortly after 4a.m. reported "100 people looting" the store.

    This video, which was first posted on Facebook by Christopher Courtez, shows the initial moments of the incident before police arrived.
This follows on the heels of the a number of high-profile crimes that have actually made headlines, culminating in the cell phone murder referenced in the post just just above this one.

Unfortunately, we think the folks over at the Crime in Wrigleyville and Boystown blog are going to be extra busy this summer.

They've also noted that the statistical manipulation (CompStat) is again in full swing in Tunney's ward, driving down actual crime numbers to make the neighborhood look safer than it actually is - now why would Rahm allow a thing like that? Surely not for political reasons?

Isn't it better that people feel safe in their neighborhoods, rather than being afraid to leave their homes? Even if the neighborhood is not totally safe, you don't want people living in fear.

The CWB folks will have a really busy summer. They'll also be live covering the shitshow for the Gay Pride Parade - they did a great job last year. The complete opposite of what will be reported by "journalists."

We could be like the businesses in the neighborhoods where they are from, get served thri bullet proof glass and restaurants with no seating. Things like this is why the Police will never get body cameras, don't need the facts to be filmed.

Don't believe everything you read on that site. The Circle K was basically a trans refusing to pay a cab fare being chased into the station bldg by the cabbie who was wailing on her. There was no wilding. It was people running up to see what was happening. Station owner video supports this.

"Illinois' latest effort toward criminal justice reform has been heralded as a return to the state's roots as a pioneer in the treatment of juvenile offenders." Article from the Chicago tribune. They really know what's going on!

Murder mayhem, and they post this wilding on Facebook that tells you they don't are about being identified, why is it then another boutique store in Lincoln park was robbed at knifepoint but no description from fox Chicago news of an offender? Where are the police? Bet call overload, or maybe just maybe not enough police! Another failed alderman cannot deliver services to constitutes!

Someone should ask our Cook County Commissioner, Tony Preckwinkle, on what she would do with her constituents of color who are seen acting like wild animals ? Oh, yes. Blame the racist incarceration system, blame the racist police. Yes, why didn't I think of that? Tony might call for some sensitivity training on the part of the store clerk for starters.

Is he Amish? They tell store owners to be on alert for a male that's about 1/2 the population!

Maybe no MSM coverage because the news in that blog is untrue/over blown?

From DNAinfo:

Police were called to the store for a simple battery — meaning there were no aggravating factors, such as the use of a deadly weapon or great bodily harm — involving a cab driver and two other individuals, said Officer Jose Estrada, a Chicago Police Department spokesman.

When police arrived, one person already had left, and the other two refused medical attention, Estrada said. No one was arrested.

The store employee, who spoke under the condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak with the media, said nothing was stolen from the Circle K. He told DNAinfo Chicago the fight lasted less than a minute and about 20 people entered the store when the fight broke out.

They tore down the projects and scattered its rejects. That's the main reason for the violence. Local dope dealers now had to compete with the invasion of dealers from the "Jets.

The police need to mount a positive response. Lets bring in the mounted unit. Bring on those teams of half man half horse combos. Kind of sends shivers up my spine.

Next bring in the Police Marine Unit. Who doesn’t love those sharp dressed marines. Wearing those rubber suits which provide protection from head to toe and everywhere in between. Protection is a good thing.

Deploy a mobile strike force like a tactical response unit with those hairy faced police men with the backwards baseball caps. You know they mean business when they remove those hard wood batons from their sheaths. Dressed up like Spartan greek warriors in their battle gear under the direction of a super secret gold star command leader codenamed Gorgeous. Bye bye bad people when Gorgeous speaks and takes affirmative action.

Hmmm, maybe the police department could have a drone follow each of these thugs.
Maybe if they do something wrong, the drone could mace the thug and call the police.

What is so fucked up about this is...when I worked in the 44th Ward...thats right across from the old Town Hall Station.

I'd occasionally bring in a few Fridge packs of Diet Coke and Coke and Mt Dew to the desk for everyone to have.

Sure looks like writing street cleaning as a PO is really paying off in 019.

How come when they are "doing nothing" is still looks and sounds like a riot?

What are they doing out on the street at three in the morning? Nothing good happens...

I was at Belmont and Lincoln this afternoon when I heard that familiar loud deep baritone voice yelling at another one just like him. They looked like they were recently looking for handouts around Sacramento and the Eisenhower. Now they are at Belmont and Lincoln making sure everyone heard them. I get that knot in my stomach just hearing and seeing them. Oh dear god they make me sick.

Years ago they wiped out my old neighborhood, Austin. Now they are spreading all over. I never saw an area improve by their presence. You never read, "Oh all the fine black people are moving in, that should be a big boon to the neighborhood, rents and property values will soon go up." "Just love that diversity."

Nope, never heard that in my 65 YEARS.

Thanks Mr. Tunney. Things are looking up. Here is another quote from your beloved DNAinfo:

"DNAinfo Chicago investigation has found that since 2008, Chicago police — from beat cops to lieutenants — made up stories, filed false reports or told lies to cover up their actions or to back up the lies of fellow cops in all kinds of situations."

I'll rely on Crime in Boystown for a little more accuracy. Some quotes from their site on this incident:

"Employees were working hard to restock the store's shelves when we visited at sunrise. The candy aisle appeared to be particularly hard hit, with huge boxes of Butterfingers, Starburst, and other sweets stripped bare. Racks of beef jerky and bagged snacks had been reduced to barren pegboard."

"Meanwhile, others begin helping themselves to the merchandise and the person filming the event wisely chooses to depart."

The main instrument of Boystown shenanigans, is southside savages.
It's like they suddenly discovered the Red Line a couple years ago.
They come and do their gay partying in Lakeview...Tear up a bunch of shit...Beat up & rob northside gays, then, Jump back on the el, and head back south.
There's no denying the fact that at least 95% of the undesirable shit, taking place in Lakeview, on weekend nights, is done by asshats with southside addresses.
I know...I know...I'm being racist.

Just A Citizen: There isn't even a safe Petco to go to anymore in the city. The one on Clybourn is frightening, the riff faff and black thugs are EVERYWHERE. The one near the Ohio feeder ramp is also frightening. I have to now drive to the suburbs to feed my pets. I want out of this hellhole SO BADLY but hubby refuses to leave. of course he does, he has a CCW. I"m 59 years old and I do NOT feel safe walking around Streeterville ANYWHERE AT ANY TIME. I don't care how many assholes are running around with their heads in their phones. It's not safe. I don't wear good clothes, I don't wear my wedding ring or any jewelry for that matter. I have to actually undress before going outside. I hate liberals. They are all mentally ill.
