More Progress.....
- Chicago Police detectives are questioning two adults and four teens in the death of a 32-year-old South Side woman, who was fatally struck by a pickup after she and her boyfriend were chased onto Lake Shore Drive, police said Wednesday.
On Tuesday, the department released CTA surveillance photos of the men who allegedly threatened to hold up Pamela Johnson and Eugene Jackson, 43, on the lakefront early Sunday. The photos were taken in the Red Line stop at Chicago Avenue after the incident, police said.
Great! The community gets involved, identifies and brings in the suspects in to answer some pointed questions about who, what, where, etc. Good news for justice.
And the step backwards?
And the step backwards?

In a display of ultimate stupidly, CBS 2 Chicago blurred the faces of the suspects. Political correctness run amok. SMH.
Yup, Channel 2, SeeBS, decided to blur out the faces of the wanted individuals, rendering the entire exercise useless to their viewers.
You can't stop a problem unless you can identify the problem, regardless of who gets butt-hurt. And if that means properly identifying suspects, persons-of-interest, or offenders, then do it. And if someone bitches, man up and say, "Well, if you don't want your (fill in the blank) all over the news, maybe you ought to talk to them about not doing (fill in the blank)."

Nobody in the Chicagoland area saw those faces on CBS, not because they were blurred , but because no one watches Channel 2 news...
You can't make this shit up.
Off topic...

Don't worry. They won't blur the faces of the police officers or the victims.
The public has a right to know those facts.
Black Lives Matter!
Now we will find out just how much Pamela Johnson's life mattered.
Look at the bright side, it was only Channel Two. Wasn't it all the channels a few years ago?
If a Policeman speaks too sternly, the Chicago newsies
will camp out on his front doorstep, show his address,
film his wife bringing the kids home from school, trample
the grass to wave a microphone in the elderly neighbor's
face while she's putting out her flowers and a host of other
silly shit.
"THE PUBLIC HAS A RIGHT TO KNOW WHO THE COP IS!"
Local Media sez:
"Y'all STFU about knowing what these upright walking
murdering hyenas look like. THEY are a protected
demographic. YOU aren't."
They're considered nowhere near the menace that Policemen
are considered to be.
Making war against The Police?
Means you've made friends with and have
come to terms with the criminals.
Right?
The average news reader on TV should blur his/her face, so no one recognizes that idiot in public.
No one likes the media anymore. They get less respect than used car salesmen.
This is not the Chicago I grew up in. As a kid from the projects that are now demolished in the Kenwood area, we could play in the area between and around the buildings. Summers and good weather would bring thousands of kids out at any time. No shootings, maybe a few pushing and shoving incidents but after we were friends or took it out on each other playing softball. Clincher style. I could take the bus downtown and to the Museum of Science and Industry by myself. We all were friends with the bus drivers who were nice to you back then and made the rides friendly. When it got really hot the family would go on the lakefront to cool off. Sure there were material things we did not have but the constant nagging of being black and poor did not exist. As a matter of fact I did not realize that even though we attended schools in a mobile trailer it was illegal until much later in life. Yes gangs existed but if you were neutral or in the books they leftou alone. The young men today are being lied to. Daily they are told you are poor, your life is worthless because you do not have stuff. Every Clayfool press conference says that CPS students are poor and do not have a chance in life You make your life based on personal and parental responsibility. Okay my rant is over.
Time to start making FCC complaints.
The ultimate in cowardice displayed by Ch 2 CBS. They are back, so we are afraid to show their faces. Wow. Just useless. Honestly, though, who still watches Ch2? Who even noticed?
WGN was interviewing "auntie" who of course claimed her nephew was a good boy. No mention of why teenagers were wandering the lakefront at 2am
WGN reporter asked if auntie was concerned that the police would try to solve the crime quickly by pinning it on this group. Auntie agreed they would
No agenda here. Bad Po PO
cbs 2 hates black people. why do you think they report like they do. to keep black people in their own ghetto and to keep them out of the luxurious neighborhoods they live in. But it sounds good to the blacks on tv so they believe it. Remember to vote for Clinton because she believes the same. Keep the blacks down but say we like them and they will believe us - stupid idiots.
It's the pickup truck driver's fault. He's not supposed to be on Lake Shore Drive!
Or, if the news (CBS2) doesn't want to show the faces of the wanted individuals = then don't do a story on those wanted! DUH
Auntie of one 'teen out of 1:30a.m.' claims this is all a misunderstanding! Ain't no robbery. The group be walkin', then someone says 'He all gots a gun!' The group ran all together, not 'after/in pursuit' of the lady who gots run over. Police all makin' a rush to judgement sayin' this was a robbery, proclaims Auntie.
Media giving more coverage to dead gorilla story than Chicago violence:

Couldn't agree more - NO ONE watches the Channel 2 news!

I stopped watching channel 2 when they dumped Kate Sullivan in order to bring in a black women from out of town. Their own version of racial quotas in order to raise ratings. And, an unfair dump. ( no I am not a relative of Sullivan).
CBS is All BS.
An article on DNAinfo quoted a girlfriend of one of the marauders. She's on the record telling the interviewer that she asked her BF, "Did you try to rob them?"
THAT says it all. None of my friends or associates would ever ask me that question....and I would never ask that question of any of the people I know. She knows her BF and knows that robbing folks is something he does, so that is a perfectly "normal" question for her to ask him.
I feel terrible for that poor woman who died. I can't imagine how terrified she was to run into traffic in order to avoid these gun-wielding hoodlums.
Okay my rant is over.

The essential design is flawed, yet the Designer, as defined, is perfect.
A does not equal B.
Unless one ponders the intent of the Designer.

Nice post 1:44am!!!!!!
Of course they shouldn't show their faces on TV, they only terrorized some poor woman and caused her to be run over by a car.
Make a special unit to give anov for been in the park after hours. Call it lakefront anov bicycle teams.
If the president/vice president of cbs were the victim would they show the criminals faces? Uh, probably not.
Got to protect the liberal scum of the month, uh, year, decade, century...when does the BS end?
Stay safe Officers.

Blurring out faces used to be a States Atty rule as to not to identify a suspect before charges and allows the defense could get a fair trial.
It's been a long while since I've been at 26/Cal, wonder if this is still brought up?
- Or could it be the USSRahm state-run Media just doesn't want to give the impression that the downtown area is infested with feral super-predators emanating from the bowels of the State & Chicago Red Line ?
But anyway, What Difference Does It Make™?
After all, is Chicago, County of Crook, home of a nonexistent judiciary fiber.
Said many, many times. Too much college and not enough high school or no common sense.

Bullshit, the gangs did not care if you were neutral or in the books. They were assholes then and assholes now. Stop rewriting history. In fact, some gangs loved to target neutrals because neutrals gripped and didn't want to get into it with them so they felt like bad asses.
Why is it that when the media shows the faces of thugs, shooters and perpetrators, they are always black or brown faces? Isn't this the worst kind of racism?
Write all those good citizens curfew violations before charging them .
They are all good boys , just trying to help out the lady and her friend .
CBS 2 is so full of shit, 6 urban utes that live nowhere near the incident, on tape at 2am near the incident, this is called a lucky break.
The surving victim will be identifying and offender(s).
What is the media going to do after the big reset? Someone is going to have to train the up and coming journalists how to report like in the old days, who, what, when, where, how...... Leave the "why" out of the equation, that is how they got so far off-track in the first place.
Geekfor hire is totally correct

Negative not where I grew up. Never had a problem with the gangs whatsoever. Period. I was into my books and they left me alone.
***If Obama had a son...he would have looked like the offenders. That's why they hid the faces!

That's good, that's YOUR experience. You were talking like an individual with all the answers and that gangs when you were growing up left you alone if you were neutral and into books. That was not my experience at all. We can agree to disagree that the gang members of your day were friendly people who left alone any neutral peoples and only harassed rivals. They may have left YOU alone. That simply was not EVERYONE'S experience.
