Spike, You Funny Guy!
There's this movie director...he makes movies. He's had maybe two successful movies in his career, and a bunch of flops. His entire schtick nowadays is the "exploitation" genre and the latest is a movie shot here in town.
Now, after filming his latest project about violence and bloodshed, in a neighborhood wracked by violence and bloodshed, Spike has decided to take a stand....A STAND...against violence and bloodshed:
Now, after filming his latest project about violence and bloodshed, in a neighborhood wracked by violence and bloodshed, Spike has decided to take a stand....A STAND...against violence and bloodshed:
- In a merging of movies with reality, Hollywood filmmaker Spike Lee led an all-star cast in a march for peace throughout the streets of Auburn-Gresham Friday night.
The director whose latest project filming in Chicago — “Chiraq” — has drawn criticism from several city leaders, headlined the annual end of the school year peace march of St. Sabina Church.
“You know why we’re here — we all want peace in Chicago,” Lee told the 500 or so area residents and members of community groups who turned out. He joked, ”We’re not going to mention that [movie] name today.”
Oh Spike, you slay us! Let's not mention "Chiraq" the day after 3 people were killed and another 17 were wounded, mostly within a five-mile circle around St. Sabina.
It occurs to us that if Spike's films actually had an impact on violence, things like that wouldn't be happening and Spike would be out of a job.

Actor John Cusack was there also.
The liberal scum is playing Father Plager.
Saw that liberal fucktard John Cusack on the news. He was "in character" at that rally. Kudos to the casting director(s)....they picked a total asshole to portray a total asshole.
So how did their party go? The BIG Party that the Alderman wanted to shut down.
I really hope they had a good time without incident and that some CPD went and tried to create a good atmosphere as well. Making the most out of something they feel is a positive would have been a strategic move. Something good for a change.
Taking a holiday from all the usual crap down there would have done everyone good, ESPECIALLY the cops who have to normally patrol that area.
The only ones that can end neighborhood violence and bring peace to the hood, are the residents of the community itself. The police can't do it, mayor can't do it and the governor can't do it.
O.T.

Einstein's definition of insanity? Marching thru the ghetto for peace. Same thing over and over, doesn't work, but expecting a different result.
What a flaming shit-show this is turning out to be...
"It occurs to us that if Spike's films actually had an impact on violence, things like that wouldn't be happening and Spike would be out of a job."
You mean like how GMAC and everyone above the rank of the blue shirts should be in these high murder districts with the highest proportion of blood shed? In my mind they should have all been bounced by now.
Spike you are just a plain old race baiter. How do guys like you sleep at night. I put you in the same category as David Duke. And don't give me the old shit that black folk can't be racist.
"It occurs to us that if Spike's films actually had an impact on violence, things like that wouldn't be happening and Spike would be out of a job."
Or he could make uplifting films about respectable middle-aged working class parents raising their children to be respectable teenagers despite the destructive effects of "black culture."
Naaah! Too Unbelievable!
Worrying about the name of a this movie is less than clever, too bad some of your politicals got into thinking about it. As for Spike, he is not going to run down the blacks in Chicago or anywhere else. Because of that, however much dysfunction the movie displays it will end with something like a message of hope. And that will take the onus off of Chicago.
And as you say, he is not really a first run director. More like a second tier guy who occasionally picks up hot themes.
Go ahead Spike. Say the name.
Do the right thing
She's got to have it
Jungle Fever
Malcolm X
Love and Basketball
Mo Better Blues
All excellent movies. Spike Lee's net worth is approximately $40 million. Stop hating people.
I understand that the actors were in costume and that Spike's film crews were there too. Did he shoot this whole thing as a scene for the movie?
Hey SCC, was "Oh Spike, you "slay" us"! an unintended pun?
I always loved that gang movie the WARRIORS.
Now that was a movie...
hypocrite!

Uber banning riders, drivers from carrying guns
Published June 20, 2015 Associated Press
"Ride-hailing app company Uber says it is banning its riders and drivers from carrying guns.
"Uber Technologies says it is banning firearms of any kind during rides arranged through the Uber platform, and drivers or riders who violate the rule may lose access to the platform. The rules also apply to Uber's affiliates.
"The company said Friday it changed its firearms policy on June 10 to make sure riders and drivers feel comfortable. In a statement, Uber said it made the change after reviewing feedback from both passengers and Uber drivers. Previously it had deferred to local law on the issue.
[Even though lives have already been saved] "In April, an Uber driver with a concealed-carry permit shot a 22-year-old man who had opened fire on a group of pedestrians in Chicago. Court records say the man was shooting at pedestrians who were walking in front of the Uber driver's vehicle, and the driver shot the gunman. The driver wasn't charged, as prosecutors said he acted in defense of himself and others."
"Competitor Lyft also has a "no weapons" policy. According to Lyft's website, if a driver or rider is found to have a weapon in a Lyft vehicle they'll be barred from the platform regardless of local laws on weapons possession.
http://www.foxnews.com/us/2015/06/20/uber-banning-riders-drivers-from-carrying-guns/?intcmp=latestnews
CCW = "Can't Carry Weapon"
OK. Watch for Uber drivers to begin "profiling" prospective riders and "redlining" dangerous parts of the city -- and that'd be about 60% of Chicago. Then watch for federal suits, etc., to try to force people to drive into "underserved" ghetto locations while unarmed and defenseless.
How much is Father F and his cronies making on the side??
Rahm and Spike are both Communist Tools, so why can't they work this out???? Good Commies dont fight with each other....
We all know why he's here...Rahm's Hollywood Democratic Cash Give a Way, an Illinois Joint Production of skimming and misappropriation.
How long before all that economic windfall that was promised begins to flow in Englewoods?
Flowing like mud, so far flowin' like mud.
Oh but wait...Spike and the whole Hollywood types want to glorify all the violence and make a few bucks selling it, and for those who don't want to buy it, they'll shove it down your throat. Now after that, lets act like we give a fuck and then we can sleep better while spending all the money......
They do have an impact on violence. It increases around the theatres as the gangs all go see them.
I can't even think of any words to explain my feeling about this dick head.
The guy hasn't had a hit in 25 years, anything to drum up publicity
Every thug killed is less paid for by me jail time and wasted court time.
Let them keep their own justice going, I'm just bored with hearing about it.
5.59am,,,,,Spike Lee is a racist asshole and a clown--remember when he tried to sue Viacom to stop them from changing the name of TNN to Spike? He said it would taint his name and brand. It was laughed out of court.
In case you were wondering, about 500 to 1000 people showed up for the peace rally hosted by Father Phleger.
I liked Girl 6 by Spike Lee....
"He's had maybe two successful movies in his career" that's not accurate at all.
All excellent movies. Spike Lee's net worth is approximately $40 million. Stop hating people.
How much of that did he put in "the 'hood" ?
"Born In Chicago 1941,I Was Born In Chicago 1941, My Father Told Me, Son, You Had Better Get A Gun. Well My Best Friend Went Down, When He Was Nineteen Years Old, Yes, My Best Friend Went Down When He Was Just Nineteen Years Old. The One Thing I Can Say About Him, He Died Bold"
His movie is going to have as much impact on violence as these stupid marches. They can walk until their feet fall off. Animals will act like animals. That whole March and the block party before it were only so Spike could shoot film for his movie. You have to ask yourself, are they really trying to stop violence or just rolling film. That stupid Cusak matching in the peace parade? Give me a break! Has he EVER cared about the violence in the ghetto or was that just a movie shoot (by the looks of the priest collar I would say movie shoot)
You forgot to mention that the peace rally spike held was also filmed for use in the movie.
I'm a paid consultant and I give Spike a lot of CPD inside information.

New Orleans Police officer killed while transporting suspect
A veteran New Orleans police officer has been shot and killed while transporting a suspect to the city jail.
Tyler Gamble, a spokesman for the New Orleans Police Department, says Officer Daryle Holloway was shot Saturday morning and pronounced dead at an area hospital about a half-hour later.
Police Chief Michael Harrison told reporters that the suspect, 33-year-old Travis Boys, was able to get his hands out of handcuffs, grab a firearm and shoot Holloway while he was driving. Harrison says Boys came from the back seat into the front seat through a hole in the cage.
Gamble says police and other law enforcement, including state troopers, St. Tammany Parish sheriff's deputies are searching for Boys, who was initially arrested on an aggravated assault charge.

3 killed and 17 others shot on the south side Thursday night.
Looks like Spike and the father are doing a great job.

`NEW JACK CITY' SHOWINGS SPARK VIOLENCE AT THEATERS
Monday, March 11 1991 12:00 a.m. MST
"Violence at theaters showing the film "New Jack City" has left one moviegoer dead, several people injured and more than a dozen arrested in cities from coast to coast.
"Shootings, fights and a riot broke out after the film, based on the real-life New York drug lord Nickie Barnes, opened Friday.The film's director and co-star, Mario Van Peebles, said the movie is not "a heavy gang movie" and should not be blamed.
"It's the type of movie that will draw the gangs to it," said Las Vegas police Sgt. William Reed.
"A fight broke out Friday night in a Las Vegas theater showing the film, and police arrested 15 people.
"In New York, an 18-year-old man was arrested Saturday for investigation of murder in the death of Gabriel Williams, 19, who was struck in the chest by a bullet during a shootout Friday night in front of a theater showing the movie.
"More than 100 shots were fired, some from an automatic weapon, when two men who got into an argument inside the theater took their fight outside, police said. Arrested after the Friday shooting was Shawn Curry, Detective Dennis Singleton said.
"In Los Angeles, an estimated 1,500 people rioted Friday night when a theater oversold tickets to the film and began turning people away. Stores in the Westwood theater and shopping district were looted during the 21/2-hour melee and nine people were arrested...

Hey Spike, if you want to make a political statement against violence, why don,t you walk east from the Dan Ryan Xway to Damen on 84th Street. If you are alive the following day let us know how it was.
Commander Evans is a true leader. Not clout heavy or law suit happy. He is a leader. Unfortunately other bosses see that as a threat. He leads by example. He leads his troops from the front. A boss like him has never existed from what I know. You may not agree with his tactics but just know that he is not a criminal nor a rogue cop. He is a great police officer who earned his way through this crooked department t. God Bless him for his service to the people of chicago. When the smoke has cleared the righteous will be victorious. Unfortunately the merit hacks with no police experience are ruining this department.
Great police officer? The guy was stopping hypes piss bums and drinkers in 011. When he should have been dealing the shit birds selling on every corner in 011.
Hey SCC didn't the word Chiraq originate in this site.. lets get some royalties for our word...
Follow the money!
spike has not made any films about violence.

Start buying your cloth bags folks. Plastic bag ban at all chain stores starting Aug 1st. That'll fix the pension crisis by golly.
VIVA CHIRAQ!
Hey, SCC. Check your sitemeter for today's visits. You've set an all-time record approaching nearly 100,000 visitors. What gives?
Spike Lee is a repulsive, hateful person.
Spike really, really hates Italian Americans.
That said, like another completely repulsive Movie Director - child rapist Roman Polanski, spike has made a few excellent movies.
Summer of Sam is right up there with the best movies capturing the true world of late 1970s New York City.
I rank Summer of Sam up there with Taxi Driver.
If you want to know how terrible, god awful, disgustingly hot, dirty, foul smelling New York City can be and will always be, but also how there is an artistic, exciting side to it.
Rent Spike Lee's Summer of Sam.
That said, I will volunteer to join a Chicago mob to run this bum out of our town.
Hey 3:37 pm.....gota b a Northsider whos never been south. Before you try and make smart comments, learn ur directions first before you post lol. Damen is WEST of the Ryan and 84th St doesnt run the entire length

Johnny, I know you want to believe that Spike Lee isn't a "first run" director, whatever that means but he has been more than successful. He graduated from a top 5 film school, trained under Martin Scorsese who is one of the best directors. Spike Lee has a net worth of $40 million. He makes socially conscious films often about race relations, politics, crime and other contemporary topics that effect Black people in both feature films and documentaries.
That is what success looks like.

What theater operator in his right mind is even going to think about screening "Chirag"? What mall is going to risk having their entire property destroyed my roving rampaging bands of non-Amish youths?
Catch it on NetFlix. Or DVD/BlueRay direct.
Or catch a pirated cut on Bit-Torrent. If you can get past all the viruses.

He was out there doing something. So since he was doing street stops on hypes, does that make him a bad leader? What's your point? No matter what anyone does there will be someone who will not be pleased. The guy is a true copper and a good one. Why didn't you stop the sellers instead of watching a boss stop hypes? You see the clowns trying to hang this guy and you want to talk about his street stops? We just love to gossip and spread rumors and jump to conclusions. Let's not forget that this could happen to any one of us.

This all started with some alleged "activist" 13-year-old girl far away, up in some totally safe far-suburban multibedroom multibathroom cul-de-sac. I looked. Tnx, Zillow.
With "a little help from her mother," of course.
Gov. Quinn telephoning her late on a school night...
Doesn't want us killing the sea turtles that are so prevalent in these parts...
...or is it that someone wants us purchasing smallish plastic bags to discard household trash...
Simple enough.
Oh Spike, you slay us! Let's not mention "Chiraq" the day after 3 people were killed and another 17 were wounded, mostly within a five-mile circle around St. Sabina
Yet Mr. Phalger is still walking back and forth in front of a gun shop in the Suburbs. Maybe he should try walking around with his friend Jesse in his own hood and hit those certain corners later in the evening

Thanks! More to the point, why bother with it at all?
Not even nearly important.
Sun going to come up no matter what, and that is what matters. This thing is nothing more than a small fart emitted by our dominant Scheisskultur..
It don't even exist unless you acknowledge it. Don't go actively looking for things to be outraged by. Save a lot of time that way.
It's 1949, yo. Ignore. Use the time for something worthwhile. A little extra sleep, a romp with the kiddies, replace that leaky sill cock, feed the birds, whatever.
Peace. They won't give it, you have to turn your back and make it.
Stay safe. God bless.
JUST A CITIZEN SAYS: I could care less what movies that creepy Spike Lee has made, they are ALL ABOUT RACE ISSUES. He's a racist. Period. And, he does hate Italians. Or maybe he's jealous of them? Did a hot Italian dump his sorry ass when he was 17 years old and he's not over it yet? His movies are all the same - jittery camera movements, ebonics, dark interiors. Weird music. And on another note, why does this Father Phlager talk like a street thug? Why? He's white. He has black-envy. He is pissed that he's not black. The movie Chiraq is being filmed for one reason: To show the movie-watching, Spike Lee loving world that Chicago needs help. Chicago doesn't need help. Chicago needs an exorcism of these gangs. Chicago needs a 100% clean sweep of everyone in any sort of management position. Chicago needs to 100% cut social programs. But that will never happen so everyone can just keep bitching about the same thing, year after year...

Ford City theaters began running those gang friendly movies years ago. See where that got them. Anyone been there lately?

Spike Lee didn't make New Jack City. You're getting your Black people mixed up.
"New Jack City" wasn't a Spike Lee Movie.
If there were no urban violence there would be no Spike Lee.
Vendors will save money by not buying plastic bags and then maybe they can contribute more to pensions.
