Again, This is Surprising?
- Gunfire erupted in the tony Streeterville neighborhood on Wednesday, shattering the lobby window of a high-rise apartment building.
[...] The bullet’s impact shattered a nearly floor to ceiling window in the lobby of Branden Zollar’s apartment building.
“I was completely terrified. I did not expect something like that to happen where I’m located. I moved here to feel safer, and it completely freaked me out,” she said.
Surveillance video captured the two cars involved in a shootout about 1:30 a.m. Wednesday. A white four-door passed a dark-colored SUV as both cars were travelling near a Lake Shore Drive pedestrian walkway, getting ready to turn west onto Grand Avenue.
Between these jagoffs, the wilding and the drag races, downtown and the surround neighborhoods are rapidly becoming no-go zones, lest you end up run over, beaten or shot.

They ruin everything. They really are a plague.
The city has been completely lost.
I remember when the "Untouchables" were the cops, not the thugs.
Branden Zollar hit the nail on the head when she said that there should be more police. Daaaaa!
Gee I'm sure that tougher gun laws would have kept the carload of CCW carriers from firing their weapons at each other. OMG!
Nyaaaa-Hahahahaaaaa!
(Bitter, cynical laughter.)
Just.
A.
Little more...
Until a member of local media or Rahm & Co.
get to see up close with their moist and tender eyes
what we've seen...
And being the true chicken-hearts they are, they will
scream for us to hurry up and save them...
It is good...
That every living ass is in peril due to the public safety
policies and propagandist media slant of these "smart"
motherfuckers.
None of this shit is surprising SCC.
Not at all.
“I was completely terrified. I did not expect something like that to happen where I’m located. I moved here to feel safer, and it completely freaked me out."
"Feel" safer. Not be safer.
Doesn't matter how much you continue to pay.

More deer in the headlights...
Those "Tony" neighborhoods have been cut to the bone on police personell.... so the mayor and McNutty can flood the ghetto's with resources.
You're thinking ok but VRI covers our lack of resources and gives the appearance of having more than we really do right?
Yes but again Rahm and McNutty only use VRI in the ghetto also.
So what do these "tony" neighborhoods get from their substantial property taxes? Why they get the shaft of course while the ghetto gets overloaded with CPD resources.
If Obama had a son , my guess is that he would look like the driver or occupants of the White SUV.
Welcome to the party.
Probably those Damned Amish
If Chicago had a commuter fee this probably never would have happened. Think of the children you'll be saving by sue acting a commuter fee!!
As I said in my earlier posting, the quality of life and delivery of services is becoming a tangible issue. Also note, many of the high-rises have been coerced into taking what used to be called Section 8, now known as Affordable Housing. So it is going to become more common to see incidents happening in what used to be "Secure" areas. Because the Reality is that with the police department stretched to its limits, and the mobility of shitheads; No PLACE in CHICAGO will be safe. But Rahm and Burke have their armed bodyguards so they know no fear. And those of us retired from "DA Job" can carry. Everyone else, needs to wake-up, Chicago is not a safe city. Baby"G"
I saw the news interview a law student that lives here. She was appalled that thus could happen in her safe neighborhood. Wake up people. Quit believing that crime is down and that everything is swell in Chicago. The city is broke, corrupt, and violence is touching every area. The pieces of shit now realize there's way vetter stuff to steal/destroy in the nice areas. There aren't enough cops abd city hall refuses to address the real problems. the city is quickly becoming a shit hole. Police aren't happy. Tax payers will soon get fed up and move to the burbs. Bankruptcy is right around the corner. Wake up. This place sucks.
No press release for the ODPO robbed in the early morning hours near Orleans north of Chicago Ave. Guess it didn't happen.
How about a bullet tax? With so many untaxed bullets flying around in Chicago, think of all the revenue to be had.
Don't worry SCC, in yesterday's suntimes paper article on how a judge ordered thousands of cha vouchers to have the thugs from the old Cabrini area get housing in the near north downtown area more scattered, crime is up wait until the high taxed area gets more criminals movin on up! It's getting more ugly as the days go by, we pay they don't keep bleeding us dry, that's not to smart!
JUST A CITIZEN:
Thanks to that POS in the White House, these miscreants of society are winning and that's what he had in store for all of us. It's going to be a very interesting year because I have a feeling he's just getting started and Rahm is a part of his plan.
From Friday night to Saturday mid morning, 16 shot, no dead yet, including two shot on the Dan Ryan. BLM you know. Like fucking hell they do. 16 shot, no headlines because none of the shootings of black people were by white cops. When do the protests start? When is the parade by Jesse Jackson? Father Faker? Sharpton? The Pope ought to be here soon.
The shit heads always knew about the better things to steal, better people to rob in the nicer areas. The thing is, all it takes is some chicago street smarts to know when some assholes are just in the area fishing. We used to do what it took to keep them the fuck out to prevent bs from happening and keep these areas nice. Those days are over, now I'd be in a courtroom, my family would suffer and some shit face waste of life would be walking away with a huge check with rahms arm around him. Can you win a card game by playing by the rules when the other guys not? Same applies to policing.

Where is the news article about this? Or is it just a rumor or something you heard from someone else? If this is true then those stupid rich yuppies get what they deserve. What were they thinking moving in to this Democrat socialist paradise?
@ 827am:
The county tried that. The problem was their tax was going to exceed the actual value of the box. It ended up getting scrapped.
As John Mcclain once said, "welcome to the party pal!"
20k or more a year in property taxes with nary a cop in sight except maybe on TV? that is surly trendy and toney. just like Beverly hills without the weather.
Tony the school teacher has something for you and it will be Mr. Robinsons hood from now on. culture and diversity in one as sneed would say a upshot. just stay away from the windows you crazy kids. listen to your uncle stash.

Naaww maannn...
Notice of Cancellation
of the Social Contract will not entail
A civilized nicety like a certified letter.
For those tender, moist eyed, soft handed
angst-filled sheeple who live in the Downtown/
Near North area?
Such notice is being delivered personally by...
You. Know. Who.
Cue:
The usual screams, shrieks, curses and prayers for deliverance
accompanied by the eye watering butchery and violence
FORMERLY pretty much confined to those "other areas"
in a parallel Chicago that the soft and the pampered were
only vaguely made aware of by the exquisitely coiffed and
clothed skeletons racheting their jaws on the 10 o'clock news.
Y'all just go ahead and have a good dance & cry as the corrosive contents of
the societal toilet overflows onto/into your Blahniks/Crocks/Birkenstocks.
You enabled THIS...
Now you want somebody to jiggle the handle and make it stop.
Now look around and see if you can spot who the
"useful idiots" REALLY are.
"I was completely terrified..."
Life in Chicago is going to be a diaper filler for you soft
and tender people from here on out. Rahm says STFU
and pay those fees, fines and taxes so he can keep the
corporateers happy and ensure HIS family has tidy remuneration
in perpetuity while YOU'RE just begin to feel the tug of the whirlpool that
already has the lower middle class circling the drain.
We freely admit to feeling a vindictive version of Schadenfreude
for all of the right reasons and it has EVERYTHING to do with
spending over half of our life serving/protecting and NOT being
anybody's "public servant" punching-bag who has to "take it"
because we swore an oath.
Only to become Chicago's most reviled while Chicago
embraces what they want us to shield them from.
What the fuck do you people want?
Do YOU even know?
We hunted and put a hurt on the BEE-AY-DEE m/fers now
banging off guns and chasing/beating you down on the streets
you just now started not "feeling safe" on.
The whole "Public Servant" construct currently being bandied about is
solely about keeping The Policeman checked, subservient and separated
from rightfully asserting his lawfully endowed power and authority
as bestowed by the holy Illinois Criminal Code of 1961.
Funny... It surely isn't US who are climbing through YOUR
windows and causing you to not fee safe.
Enjoy the new era of Police having
taken a LARGE and wholly justified step back.
It shouldn't be wholly unexpected.
Policemen are people too at the end of the day.
Or no?
Left my high rise condo in 2011 and never looked back. Taxes moving over $1,000 a month, monthly assessment the same as well as the deteoriating safety sealed the deal for me. Even back then there were wilding incidents, what is now known as aggressive panhandling as well as groups of "youths" harassing and intimidating residents. Forget about going out at night unless you drove or had hired a car. I miss many things about Chicago but my safety comes first. Truly turning into a third world city. Although there is probably a demand for personal protection services.
Bad luck. Random Shooting. Wrong place at the wrong time (ie home, with his family, helping his wife unload groceries).

Winner of most incomprehensible post in the thread.
Take a deep breath, learn to spell, learn to punctuate, then come back in a year or two.
If Obama had a son , my guess is that he would look like the driver or occupants of the White SUV.

If Obama had a son, he'd look like Al Cowlings?

Random/not random. Targeted/not targeted, they say interchangeably at the press conference, no matter what the hell just happened.
...and in either case, "the public can 'feel' safe."
"Baa," goes the public.
"We hunted and put a hurt on the BEE-AY-DEE m/fers now

you just now started not "feeling safe" on."
9/19/2015 02:52:00 PM
...and now if you missed the offense itself occurring, but do get to see how it can take nine police to take down and cuff some struggling, shrieking maniac, out comes the smartphone, video away and all over the web it goes, isn't this terrible.
Video also misses the conclusion; coppers limping around on crutches months later, visits to get stitches removed, etc.

Yup!
This...
All damned day long.
Two torn up knees with one
badly destroyed by a partially detached
meniscus locking the joint up like a rug
stuck under a door.
One dislocated shoulder.
Crushed lumbar disc.
Every finger on both hands broken/dislocated.
Broken/dislocated.
Other than a car crash or three, (we were Unit #2 in all instances)
all of our injuries are as a result of going eyeball to eyeball with
miscreants and savages of all stripes.
Oh yeah... Ate some smoke and got singed a little dragging people
out of burning cars and houses.
Isn't it funny?
Policemen are the ones seen as being so wild, rebellious and
out of control in this town.
Working CTA special years ago...
Escorted a disorderly ass off the Broadway bus.
Everything was squashed or so we thought...
In front of the bus, switch was flipped and the fight was on.
Yuppie Mommy was stopped in traffic watching it happen.
She was also watching when we dropped the offender with
a right uppercut and a left cross...
She was shrieking at US for "hitting that poor man like that."
Heh...
Even with seeing the whole damned thing, she retreated to the
warmth and safety her default setting.
Eyes wide open and not seeing a damned thing.
We have no care or sympathy for her or her kind
when reality claws at the hem of their coat.
"You Cops should act more like the public servants you are..."
Nothing but shit-talk because there is nothing humble or
"servant-like" to doing THIS.
...Short time to go.

Which explains why you're seeing more teams of "scouts"
lurking, probing, jiggling door knobs, shaking handles and
other bullshit ghetto games...
>Your doorbell ringing<
Open your door and see a m/fer with that "I just shit on myself"
look on his face as if you being home wasn't part of the script.
Just like a GPS system...
"Calculating route..."
"Uhhh yeah! I was looking for my friend, Joe..."
Sheep with blinders on. Waiting to be slaughtered by the savages who is taking over this country.
