I commuted by bicycle to my downtown office job that day. Since the weather was pleasant and sunny, most people were driving with their windows rolled down. At every stoplight, I noticed every single car without exception had the news stations turned up on their car radios. Not one note of music floated out of those car windows. No talk or laughter between the driver and the passengers. Quiet. Just the sound of traffic moving through the streets - tires turning at the corners, a squeaky brake here and there, engines idling. Later I noticed more silence - the lack of air traffic overhead. The world's busiest airport stood still that day. And then some time around mid-afternoon, I heard the unmistakable roar of a jet fighter overhead and thought "Somebody's got our backs." It was about the only reassuring thought I could muster on 9/11.

God bless and protect all of our first-responders and fighting men and women.

World turned upside down and ass-backwards as The Police
are now the enemy while some say that the Middle Eastern
Death Cultists sawing the heads off those who don't agree with
THEIR POV, and the urban death worshippers here who reject
every opportunity to sit at the table of brotherhood with the rest
of society, are merely misunderstood people trying to make their
way on this madly spinning, cosmic mud-ball that some of us live on
and some of us merely inhabit.

As one poster so aptly put it: (and we paraphrase)
"Just because it walks upright and appears to be human
In every way, doesn't necessarily make it so."

And then there's...
"Some m/fers just desperately beg for a killin'.
You may or may not be right in giving him what
He asks for but most upright men do aim to please."

Heh!
Bitter ol' Cop bein' mean, scary and unfriendly again.

Hard to believe it's been 14 years. I was working the help desk back then, and after the first tower was hit, and the whole world was freaking out....we got multiple calls from people asking that we bring them a TV to their office!

Not only did we NOT have TVs to hand out, we certainly wouldn't be able to hook them up to cable, either. And lets not forget that they could walk down the hallway to several state-of-the-art conference rooms that had TV and working cable.

After all these years, I still cannot believe how obtuse these people were. I hope that 14 years later they are still ashamed for their selfish, childlike demands.

OT --

"9 dead, 46 wounded [2015 Labor Day weekend]. For comparison purposes:

"2014 Labor Day weekend tally: 7 killed, 37 wounded
"2013 Labor Day weekend tally: 12 killed, 27 wounded

"A significant increase in people with extra holes, but thanks to medical technology and prompt ambulance responses, an average number of deaths."

So, in myriad ways, we shall continue to facilitate and encourage the disease while running around all over treating the symptoms. To wit:

Holy Cross Hospital to get Level 1 trauma center on South Side

09/10/2015, 10:19pm

"After years of fighting for an adult trauma center, the South Side will finally get one at Holy Cross Hospital.

"Sinai Health System and the University of Chicago Medicine announced Thursday they are partnering to renovate and expand Holy Cross Hospital’s emergency department and build a state-of-the-art Level 1 adult trauma center.

“Holy Cross, at 68th Street and California Avenue, is near some of the highest incidence of trauma injury and gun violence in the city..."

"For years, activists have sought the trauma center, citing the distance to other areas for care and how it has negatively affected the odds of survival for victims [and participants -Ed.] of violence-plagued communities.

“University of Chicago Medicine will provide capital to help fund the facility improvements at Holy Cross Hospital, which are estimated to be in the range of $40 million,”

"In addition to the new adult trauma center at Holy Cross, University of Chicago Medicine plans to increase access to emergency services on its Hyde Park campus by expanding and building a state-of-the-art adult emergency department."

http://tinyurl.com/nkabmwr

...thus undoing all of Michelle Obama's hard work in clearing the endlessly troublesome local crap -- as they saw it -- out of U of C's nice clean ER.

ER doctors condemn University of Chicago plan to divert patients

February 20, 2009

"The nation's largest group of emergency physicians on Thursday condemned U. of C.'s plans, saying it comes "dangerously close" to violating federal law and calling for a congressional investigation. U. of C.'s initiative is aimed at clearing its ER of patients with non-urgent injuries and illnesses by redirecting them...

"The American College of Emergency Physicians cited...the hospital's Urban Health Initiative and...12-year-old Dontae Adams, who was attacked by a pit bull and sent to another hospital for surgery.

"The hospital's effort...began with a group of executives that included First Lady Michelle Obama...The Urban Health Initiative is now run by one of President Barack Obama's closest friends, Dr. Eric Whitaker."

http://tinyurl.com/oq9zr27

Oh -- despite the "years of demands," no "activists," no "reverends," no "community organizations," no wealthy "megachurches" have stepped up to the plate with any FUNDRAISING EFFORTS to help pay for what they want.

Typical.

Thanks for the reminder SCC! "We will never forget!" RIP all of the first responders and innocents killed that day by terrorists! Looking at today obama has flung open the borders, handcuffed the police and border patrol, letting how many hundreds of millions of illegals free access to go everywhere in this once great country! Many wonder why a guy like Donald Trump is so far ahead of others! Trump's "Let's make America great again" tagline strikes a wake up call to what we had! The greatest generation ever was the WW2 generation, they built America! Remember that day well, sitting in an unmarked by St. Daniels Parish on beat 811, listening to Howard Stern when Howard started talking about a plane hitting the twin towers, thought it was a joke, but listened to news radio sadly it was true! Went home got my heavy weapons, met with other coppers and watched it unfold! Now Today some stations are revisiting it, watching people jump to death from the buildings, police and fire rushing in covered in soot, children crying, every sex,race,color,creed saddened thanks SCC for this reminder said some prayers wishing all coppers-fireman safety today and always God Bless the First Responders!

Very little coverage of the 9-11 anniversary-especially on Ch 9. To those idiots, especially baumgarten, why the comical it's Friday attitude??
If the press didn't want to show police in a positive light they could have shown video of the firefighters. Seems like our POTUS & the media will do (or not do) anything to make the law enforcement the enemy even if it means forgetting the victims while slighting the heroes.

Glad the Hussein Obama family will not return to Chicago so we won't have to help the Secret Service protect his house. Now if we could only keep the LieBrary out of town. But Madigan pledged $100 M for that lovely project - guess that doesn't go to our pension.

All this time, and I still can't put much together -- I guess the shock was that great. Living 016, everything pretty good considering, then on that beautiful morning it's "TURN ON THE TV!" Jesus. At first I thought it was a fizzle or "dirty bomb," seeing those buildings coming down in that huge cloud of dust. Occurs to me now that it was preventable, better-secured cockpits, armed flight deck crew, and perhaps better-trained and-treated Air Marshals outside that door. Box cutter, s__t. Here's a nice hot purpose-designed plastic round right between your miserable eyes -- and have a couple more.

What bothered me the most was really the MSM talking heads repeating and repeating, "Things will never be the same. Things will never be the same." Sounded like a foregone conclusion -- as though they had gotten something they wanted. No "conspiracy theory," just noticeable as they actually promoted a goal of terrorism; that being that government restrictions on citizens would make life more miserable than a few terrorists could ever do.

Disconnected impressions --

* Poor nutty woman at the drugstore I'd patronized for years suddenly covered with ribbons and flag pins and bothering me about the small bag I carried to pick up my local papers every Thursday afternoon.

* Walgreens at Howard and Western with the shopping carts piled up eight feet high in front of the entrance like a fortress, all chained together, with one min-wage rent-a-cop standing there glowering with a billy club. Gosh darn, Achmed, go around the block and we'll park our truck bomb at the completely unprotected loading dock around the side...like anyone was after Walgreens in the first place.

* The quiet when O'Hare stopped flying -- and the unabashed Daley political move of having Pres. Bush stop off at the Norwood on his way to O'Hare for his "Let's get 'em up again" speech. Everyone turned out with signs and flags and completely forgot about the devastation of blocks and blocks flooded out by Daley's "flood preventer" caps on the street drains. We had had heavy rains right before, and it took Streets and San literally one front-end loader and three leased semi-dumps to clear out the ruined, flooded carpeting and paneling and belongings from just ONE of many blocks of wrecked basements around St. Adalbert's. Master Daley stroke, everyone forgot all about it.

Today? The legacy of cameras all over, the gnawing lack of a sense of security in a shaky, feverish, built-upon-sand economy as additional restrictions, taxes, thou-shalt-nots are imposed on the easy-to-find working population while the country is deliberately flooded with often-unknown, untraceable, disappearing aliens of all stripes.

Doesn't hit me as bad as others, perhaps, because I saw the deterioration really kick off after 1964. Seen our own city burn once already, have seen vast tracts of it become and remain unusable. No imported terrorist could have wiped the slate clean of the manufacturing base that once sustained this town.

Still, we go from day to day, enjoying the good times, the good moments that God gives us. That which we hold in our hearts, no one can take from us.

14 years, and we are still here, still kickin'.

Pray for the dead, and remember and help the living. Treasure especially the young and the old -- they are our future, and our past. Draw family and friends closer, and remember all that is wonderful that life has to offer.

God bless all here. Stay extra safe.

On that day I had the assignment of being at 35th street. When My girlfriend called me to tell me find a TV. I walked into the Operations command desk on 5th floor where the two officers there had the TV on watching WTTW. (Cooking show)

Even the Street Deputy had no clue what was going on in NY. He was on his way home
Then the second plane hits the tower and all hell broke loose.

Lieutenants' were ordering personal out of building in uniform even if they had no uniform to put on. Long drive home to get uniforms and see what was actually happening.

Just imagine going to emergency room not waiting for hours as illegally here entire families eating up scarce medical resources! How much safer will we be?

Well yes, but on the other hand not really...

The coven of poot-butts, chair-sniffers, crazies,
politically empowered revenge seeking squat-to-pee-ers
and keepers of funny company currently occupying the
white house and Chicago's City Hall, don't have words like duty,
honor, courage, manliness, truth, strength, sacrifice and integrity in their vocabulary.

And they have no use for people who do...
No need to ask 'em, they've told ya and showed ya
every minute of every damned day since November
of 2008...

As far as 9/11/2001 goes?
To them, it's the day that the
American ideal and way of life
took a hit that was well deserved
in their eyes.

If they were able to, they would scrub any mention
of the heroism, faithfulness to duty and a belief in
basic goodness and rightness not only of this nation
but the principles upon which it was founded.

Engels, Marx, Lenin, Trotsky, Alinsky et al.,
can munch a bottomless bag of bitter dicks...

So to can those who seek to foist their poisonous,
corrosive, collectivist and anathema to self determination and
free will, way of thinking and living.

Each man according to his desire and ability to work
and his native talents.

9/11 is a day to remember to be proud of being an American.
Sparkle-Farts and his minions want it to be a day of shame and
bowed heads to the rest of the world for being an American.

Since the rest of the world is so contemptuous of our way of life
then maybe we should reallocate a portion of our precious treasure
spent on the world and use it to strengthen and rebuild home?

Perhaps it is way past time to stop taking care of the world's problems
and take care of home with maximum prejudice.

Up to and including actively hardening our borders and points of entry.

Worked at 35th and Michigan, it was still a new building people were getting used to. I was young, working for the adult probation dept. but worked in ident. section. Overslept and was running late to work. Traffic down archer didn't seem right, pager kept going off too. Pulled over to use a payphone to see what was happening. Thought they were telling me to pick up some coffee on the way or something. I was told the building was being evacuated and to turn around. Had no idea what was happening, was too busy thinking of excuses why I was late rather than listening to the news as I drove. Had no idea this country would never be the same again after that call. On a side note- it was a lil funny to see guys in the building that hadn't worn a uniform in years (mandatory for ALL officers in the dept.) squeeze into them, buttons were projectile weapons waiting to go off lol

But stewing over it for fourteen years isn't just petty; it's being fixated.
You DO realize thousands of people died, then and still, as a result of inhaling all that pulverized debris?
And THAT's what's important, not your momentary irritation at being asked for tv sets.

Once again, President Communist is betraying the US Constitution (a document that he despises) by claiming that the accord with Iran is not a "treaty" and not subject to the 2/3 ratification requirement in the Constitution. Obama could never secure 2/3 of the vote in the US Senate to approve this sell out of Israel and the USA.

Someone in Washington needs to file a lawsuit and have a Federal Court judge rule that the document is a treaty and subject to Senate ratification.

To them, it's the day that the
American ideal and way of life
took a hit that was well deserved
in their eyes."

God help us, you are right -- once THEY had all the buckles tight on THEIR personal Golden Parachutes.

"If they were able to, they would scrub any mention
of the heroism, faithfulness to duty and a belief in
basic goodness and rightness not only of this nation
but the principles upon which it was founded."

...but as it is, they have to pay continuing lip service to the people in "flyover country" who "cling stubbornly to their guns and their religion," as Obama put it.

It must really rankle, huh?

There was one son-of-a-bitch right after 9/11 who started marketing collapsible gliders -- big zipper bag that would fit under your desk -- to workers in high-rise buildings. Idea was to just go soaring away if the place got hit bad.

When asked if he had ever tested one of these contraptions, the bastard actually said, "I don't have to jump. I'm the manager."

This one went down the Internet memory hole a long time ago. I looked hard, too.

may they all RIP! What has changed lately to secure this once great country? Nothing for the better! How many are just walking in, getting free benefits while we the hard working coppers are getting pensions not properly funded, health benefits removed, we are getting thrown to the wolves by the media and political clowns, then the topper is police bosses are looking the other way as they deliver you to the lawyers! The only hope we have for ourselves and most importantly our children is a change at the top in the presidency! The old adage a "fish stinks from the head down" is the new motto of the USA! The president started this anti-police bias and it filtered down to the bottom feeding press and lawyers! It's "epidemic" lets pray for new leadership at the top! Everyone including myself thought is was crazy and man like Donald Trump could run for president, but looking at his poll numbers looks like citizens are tired of the elected giving away everything to American haters, and illegals!!

I was at the Marine Unit on 9/11. Downtown was evacuated. First time in my life, Chicago downtown evacuated. I was told to take binoculars and watch for aircraft over the lake. I spotted two aircraft coming west from the Michigan side flying low and next to each other. I called it in, they were headed right for downtown.

Turns out it was two F-16's loaded for bear, missiles and extra tanks taking up Combat Air Patrol over downtown.

Now that is something you don't see every day. The real deal; that was not a drill. Best thing I saw that day.

Refugees pose as Syrians to open door to asylum in Europe

September 12, 2015

"At Budapest’s Keleti Train Station last week, Mahmoud, a Syrian from Aleppo, looked around the underground concourse packed with new arrivals like himself. Judging from their accents and dialects, he reckoned that LITTLE MORE THAN 10 PERCENT OF THEM WERE SYRIAN. But he saw many more passing themselves off as Syrians.

"Indeed, during his journey through Greece and the Balkans on his way to Hungary, “I found a bunch of Iraqis buying fake Syrian passports,” said Mahmoud, adding that now Syrians “are worried that their passports are being stolen.” Nearby, a countryman furtively showed his passport, tucked between the sole and padding of one of his sneakers.

"As Europe moves to take in large numbers of refugees, particularly from Syria, some other migrants—often Iraqis, Libyans, Palestinians and Egyptians—are attempting to pass themselves off as Syrian, said aid workers, government officials and fellow migrants."

http://www.foxnews.com/world/2015/09/12/refugees-pose-as-syrians-to-open-door-to-asylum-in-europe/

...and the idiots of the host countries line up to greet them, applaud, wave welcoming banners, offer home-cooked meals, and demonstrate for even MORE to be let in -- as the Hungarians desperately string barbed wire at the border...

It is the Death Of The West.

Do we have enough immigrants yet? The 19 hijackers violated the conditions of their visas, and were issued drivers licenses (by State of Florida, mostly) which they used as ID to board the aircraft. Neither of these problems have been addressed because the Republicans businessmen want cheap labor and the Democrats always get the immigrant vote. Every wonder what the last years of Rome were like? We're living it.

You'll never get 100% of all people to agree on anything. 9-11 is no exception.
Still, overall, there was a feeling of unity among the people of this country.
I chose to ignore the crackpot conspiracy theorists. You know the ones: White as well as Black, who swore Bush engineered the entire thing?

"German Chancellor Angela Merkel warned that Germany won’t absorb the thousands of economic migrants who are mixed among the 800,000 migrants expected to apply for asylum this year. “Those with no prospect of staying must leave our country,” she said."

You won't be able to find most of them to get them to leave -- same as with the disease-bearing flood of "UACs" -- Unaccompanied Alien Children -- that Obama let across our southern border. Each was given a piece of paper bearing -- well, whatever name they chose to use -- and a date for them to show up at an immigration court for a hearing.

Approx. 86% of them have never been seen again.

It will be the same in Europe. Many -- well, unknowns -- will melt away into the Muslim "no-go zones," the "bain-liues" where even the police are afraid to go in unless with armored cars and a massive show of force. There, radical, destructive Islam will continue to fester and grow. Reinforcements have arrived -- and it will be in the millions.

Who evacuated downtown? How was it done? I lived downtown and nobody told me. No squad cars traveled up and down the streets saying 'evacuate now'. No sirens went off. No news alerts occurred (and I was watching two channels of news-only) ordering people out of downtown.

If you mean people decided not to go to work, or went home early from work, or many offices closed (like a lot of them did in Sears Tower), that's something different. Downtown might have been emptier than usual, but there was no evacuation.

Citywide 4, we were told downtown was being told to empty out. Certainly not the most organized of operations. I was on the lakefront and we kept German fighters and bombers away. I wouldn't expect the mumbling midget to actually take command. If you were in a beat car, I expect you didn't hear it. If you want to argue about it I'll save you the trouble, you win. I'm retired, that is my memory.
