Eighty in August

After a messy weekend (at least 9 dead, 47 maimed), Chicago has done something unseen in decades.

Eighty dead in a single month.

Congratulations, we guess.

Next stop - 500 dead reached by September.

May the coming month become known as "Aug., Part II"

If we can string a few of these months together, we'll have a good start. Now if the scum could just stop killing the innocents... Perhaps progress can be had.

84 actually... HJ has 82 as of 12am and Add 2 more from 009 arson which will be reclassified in the next day or so... Or after the official August numbers are released to the press.. Then during Labor Day weekend it will be reclassified and hidden in August numbers and nobody will be looking At the month numbers anymore for Aug. So it's 84 with three more days left. Can we hit 90???

Rahm Emanuel, the enraged sissy-weasel

for what he has made Chicago to become in
his quest to "Stick It In The Cops Ear."

And you just KNOW he's begging Shrill-ary

he can declare "Mission Accomplished"

OT - Looks like Emanuel wants to put a few hundred more City employees at risk. Now (announced on the last weekend in August, when everyone's on vacation) he's selling the Fleet Management complex at North and Throop and moving the operation to "Englewood' (even though it's not really Englewood).

There must be a huge tree somewhere just bleeding money for all this construction and all these frivolous projects.

And there must be a select group of clouted contractors getting drunk on champagne tonight, because they're getting a piece of the redevelopment pie at North and Throop.

It should include 2 more. Once again, the heads of the D unit are classifying a homicide as a "Death Investigation." Check the MINS....a resident sees and hears an object thrown through the front window, that's smoking. She then hears a rear window break. Next thing you know, the building is on fire. She escapes, but 2 others didnt. CFD locates 2 points of origin as well as an accellerant. Canine also hits on an accelerant. But it's a "Death Investigation"...yeah right......

You can be shot, wrapped in a rug and stuffed in a trunk and be called a death investigation. Remember, this happened up north years ago. Or how about last year, the hooker stuffed in a small suitcase in an abando in 005? Death investigation. I wanna hear other funny ones.

Well, of course. That will bring much needed jobs to the neighborhood. Think how well the burglars will do when they can just walk home with their loot. Not to mention the blackmail the construction workers will have to pay to watch their cars while building the new facility.

Like you, I am quite disturbed by the continued acts of senseless violence affecting our community. And, to be clear I have spoken out about gun violence on a number of occasions. Unfortunately, what you are experiencing is representative of every neighborhood in Chicago and truly a reflection of a national issue that needs to be addressed. Whether it's the South Loop, Wicker Park, Bronzeville or Lawndale, all of our neighborhoods have been touched by violence.

The City of Chicago has some of the strongest gun safety laws in the country and strengthening those protections requires State and Federal legislation as the courts have limited the City's ability to increase gun safety. Despite this, the Chicago Police Department has seized over 4,500 guns this year alone, removing these dangerous tools from the streets. While this is commendable, much more needs to be done to stop the violence.

Regarding your specific suggestion, the city of Chicago does not have the power to implement mandatory minimum sentences. Only the State of Illinois can do so. You should contact your State Rep and Senator directly. Senator Kwame Raoul is working on a similar law right now.

I am certainly interested in any ideas that would help curb violence in Chicago. I have long advocated for additional police to patrol the streets. In addition, I have been working closely with the police department and community groups to provide up to date information and establish better, more positive relationships between the police and the residents they serve. At every townhall meeting, the District Commander or his Captain are there to address resident concerns, discuss crime patterns or positive outcomes to investigations. I have also taken a more holistic approach to curbing neighborhood violence by offering alternatives to violence. I have sponsored summer employment and job training programs for at-risk individuals, invested additional dollars in programming at neighborhood schools and secured jobs for residents at major projects across the ward including McCormick Place Headquarters Hotel and Event Center and the Rosenwald Courts Apartments.

While there is no single solution to the issue of violence, I hope that a broad based approach will have a positive effect. Certainly, advocating for stronger deterrents to gun proliferation, more progressive education funding, and greater job creation at the state and federal level is critical. I am also open to ideas, so if you have any suggestions on initiatives my office or the City can take to addresses this issue, please don't hesitate to contact me anytime.

Meanwhile, HeyJackass says 439 people have been shot and killed and 2,419 shot and wounded JUST THIS YEAR. And it's just so hard for people to accept that the persons shot by the police just might be armed and dangerous?!

8/29/2016 01:10:00 AM

In 126 years of official snowfall records, Chicago has recorded snow in September on two occasions, and both were "trace events": Sept. 25, 1928, with high and low temperatures of 50 and 39 degrees; and Sept. 25, 1942, with high and low temperatures of 46 and 30.

Heard on the blower that FatHead Special Ed commented on Trumps assertion that an "unknown CPD ranking member" said he could eliminate Chicago's violence problem.
Jugghead stated that if there "some magic silver bullet to stop violence", then let me know.
So, if the off the record banter Commander steps forward and states his case to Special Ed, will there be repercussions?
Just what obvious solution is it that Special Head is looking for?
answer: something upside the head.
Wake up Jugg, you're dozing again, like in the back row at CPD Merit Appointee School.

Can't fix stupid but you sure can fix merit promoting.

You were never a detective. It's a death investigation until an autopsy can be performed by the medical examiner to determine cause of death. So calm down, it will be rule a homicide when the M.E. Is done.

So special Ed tells TRUMP to come to Chicago if he thinks that he can stop the violence. TRUMP should take this challenge but only by if he can make some changes. Special Ed would be the first dump. I can see TRUMP telling him, "your fired". Seriously the violence in Chicago will not get any better under democratic rule. RAHM needs to go before any kind of plan will work. Mr. TRUMP needs to be elected first and we can go from there.

Those in charge of CPD have a moral responsibility to make moral decisions greater than those they command. Therefore, you are aware of the cheating scandals involving the LT exam, Sgt exam and DET exam and the merit promotional system thru nepotism, favoritism, and politics.

It is incumbent upon you to investigate the issues and punish the perpetrator because it's your duty and your responsibility. DO YOU HAVE THE INTESTINAL FORTITUDE TO DO THE RIGHT THING? that is the question and if you dont have what it takes then fire your staff and resign

It will be a homicide when the Chief decides to have it reclassified after the M.E. gives a cause of death, generally this is after the monthly/yearly totals are released.

You have a guy walking down the alley in the south loop to get a coffee shot and killed. But there is no police shortage and all the new ACLU agreements and ISR are great. I forgot no evidence to show the ACLU agreement has anything to do with the spike in crime. Right. And why your at it keep stripping coppers before they get their due process because that really motivates the rest of us.
