Ghoul Pool Time
The basic rules:
- #1 You pay your toothpicks
#2 You write your code name
#3 Someone picks the Districts in random order
#4 You wait for the natural order to determine a winner
There are local variations on this theme. Some pools pick a random starting box (slips numbered 1 thru 22 to correspond to the boxes) then draw District numbers from that box forward. We've seen arguments about what constituted the first "official" homicide - First 0110 RD drawn, first doctor declaration, etc. Make sure you know the rules before you pay your toothpicks.

"There are local variations on this theme."
Kick a rubber wedge firmly under the back "receiving" door of the expanded new Preckwinkle Morgue, gonna be busy with "black and brown people.," as she put it.
The A/4 "Ghoul Tree" would've had
a LOT of "ornaments" on it this year...
The most since the 1990's.
And the usual aimlessly wandering swing-dicks,
hang-tits and talk-shits are still up their own
asses about The Police allegedly being the problem
in this town.
"Take the money out of Policing and give it to US!"
(Rahm has done it already!)
Translation:
>Reparations or BUST!<
I liked the ghoul tree upstairs in old A/4 VC office.
I find it in very poor taste for you to make a joke of this issue. The loss of life in our black communities has to end!
(But 016 is a sucker's bet, so put me down for 10 toothpicks,025).
U should add 290, 90, and 94 as choices.
This probly should've stayed out of the blog
009 is going to have last homicide of the year and 011 will have the first of the new year.
We'll finish with 789 homicides.
Every time i think i got a good district pick, they let me down.
Thirty five degrees for New Year's night. This should be some interesting times.
PPO from 008 took his own life last night. Please, if you are having problems, reach out and talk to someone. Watch out for each other.
I will vote for the south side---006.
Making wagers on who will lose their life is sickening.
what if there is a tie?
Supt. Johnson says more body cameras are coming for police. He has also identified 1400 repeat criminals who are driving all the violence in Chicago. Wouldn't it make more sense (and be more cost effective) to strap body cameras on the 1400 jag offs. As soon as they fools realize police are not the problem - maybe they will finally focus on the REAL problem and things might start to change.
009 will have the first
13 homicides short of 800. Only a few days left to go with a weekend as the last hurrah. Historically New Year's Eve has a very low amount of people shot and homicides... Sunday usually sees one or two in the early morning hours after the parties are letting out but that will be too late because it will be 2017 then. So we need 13 in 4 days with cold weather on tap.. odds of it happening have been increased to 33:1. Not looking good
I'm takin the 011th dist 4 first Gang Killin of the new year! Or accidental killin
by gang member with current dues payed?
Secret calls coming in to area asking about MURDERs?
Seem a special little person at HQ is in charge of making sure certain murders stay unclassified as MURDERS/HOMICIDE until sometime next year.
Alot of death investigations. Like the bloated water filled bodies with crushed skulls or the crispy xwives with orders of protections.
Luckily we have so many new detectives that you could actually give each one a shooting from the holiday weekend. Just picture it NEW DETECTIVEs 10 to 20 shooting stabbings,etc given to you to investigate even on your days off. Plenty of video,DNA, and laughable witnesses.
aim for the 5% clearance rate.
Anyone know what the clearance rate is in the city for homicides?
"Silent Night" was a thumpin throughout the south and west sides of this blow hard city. We did it!! ALL TIME RECORD deadlliest Christmas/Hanukkah weekend in Chicago ever!!!
Eddie babay, Show me the numbers! (Be sure to include expressway murders/shootings). Don't forget you have 28 proud years on the job. God knows we all know it!! Just tell rahm you want to include X-ray shootings in the totals. LOL.
WOW. But no worries, the shootings are about to stop with latest press release stating body cameras coming near you a year earlier than planned. Funny and not so funny shit, they are in survival mode now my brothers and sisters.
Where is rahm and family taking cover this holiday season?
"It's the small things that make me happy".
Stay Safe...Stay Fetal...
I find it in very poor taste for you to make a joke of this issue. The loss of life in our black communities has to end!
Haha. I hope you are being sarcastic. But, if not, the "ghoul pool" has been around for over 25 years that I know of. If they don't care about the lives of others, why do we have to care that they want to kill each other. They aren't betting on "if" bur are betting on where the 1st 0110 happens. It will happen. The behavior of a certain sect of society will make it happen. It's like betting on the sunrise, you know it will definitely happen, just not sure sure on the exact time.
To 07:58 poster. No, what blacks and browns have done to our city and way of life, through crime, useless social programs sucking the working persons paycheck dry with taxes and increased fees is what sickening.

They are Democrats.
They made their own beds.
Question:
What do the 10 highest crime cities in America all have in common?
ANSWER:
They are ALL run by Democrats and MORONS voted for them.
To the posters here who find our humor "sickening".......
Evidently, you have never walked into a house, crawling with roaches, no beds, no clean clothes, no food in the fridge....5 real skinny kids under 7, no momma home, lord knows no daddies anywhere around.......knowing momma out somewhere spending the $630 of food money on crack....
Or you walk into another disheveled apartment to find 2 bodies on the bed, blood everywhere, beaten to death...
Or got called to an alley for "something suspicious", only to find the body of a young woman behind the dumpster, naked, strangled.....
So do we make fun and joke about a Ghoul Pool? 1st death of the year? You betcha......because the alternative to the daily carnage we see in this city would be to cry.....yes, we harden our hearts......it's the only way to get through seeing, day after day, what some people are capable of.......
When you have walked the proverbial mile in any one of our shoes, THEN you can call us names.....

See Louie, he's selling toothpicks 5 for a dollar and he still has some of last years ghoul pool squares too.
Good, strap a body cam on me and not on the thieving politicians, mayor, alderman, state reps, etc. in this town. Stupid democrat voters. Go ahead. Court dried up but I'm still doing good, got my ducks squared away. No stress. Here's your report sir.
OT - City of Chicago buys a building for $10 MIL, transfers it to a developer for only $3.8 MIL.
Plenty of money for real estate deals for those who are a friend of Rahm.
Money for police and fire pensions and health care?
Not so much.

Call the next case. Not a cop.
Yes, this is in poor taste.
Yes, first responders often have very dark senses of humor.
Stop trying to hide that. It's a defense mechanism, and usually a necessary one.
The amount of black and brown people killing each other is sickening. Shut your mouth.
Interesting that a few are so upset about a ghoul pool but not upset enough about all the killings to vote all the politicians out of office who create the laws. Not upset enough to kick the judges off their benches. Not upset enough to change their own communities. Not upset enough to demand that people start raising their children right. Not upset enough to support police officers. Not upset enough to make sure criminals stay behind bars.

You obviously are not or never have been a cop.
A gallows humor is a defense mechanism that is developed in certain dangerous lines of work.
It happens or the individual could go bonkers and eat a gun barrel.
Sort of like how cops try not to take their work home with them to the family dinner table at the end of the day unless it is an honest to goodness fluffy feel good story that makes everyone smile.
If you can't wrap your head around that simple concept and explanation, stay off of Cop Blogs you obvious civilian.
My best regards to the Real Police: The CPD blue shirts

2016 was not a good year for coppers in 008. God bless. Prayers.

004 for the first of 2017.

I hope your being sarcastic, but in the event you're just another misguided White Guilt soul...
No, what's truly sickening is that CPD retirees will be sans their promised "free" lifetime healthcare in a few short days. Meanwhile, these same pieces of shit I've been making wagers on for almost 3 decades have had unlimited free (for THEM) medical care since they were hatched, many being treated more than once for being shot prior to the much anticipated incident that will ultimately, permanently punch their ticket.
I'll make another wager right now: you live in your parents basement after 6 years of college and voted for HRC on November 8th. Any takers? I'm willing to go 2 to 1.

Get bent. It is not a wager on who will lose their life. It is a wager on where they will lose their life.
What happened to Carrier Fisher dying when, “She is resting,” her uncle, William Reynolds, told Radar. “She is fine and in the hospital.” Reynolds gave Radar an update on her condition. “Her doctors have stabilized her.”
I am guessing the news media does make mistakes?

Making war against the ONLY people who stand between your
tender, clueless ass and these self-disposing fools we're
having a laugh at is even more sickening...
Pick a side.
You cannot possibly have this
argument both ways.
"You Cops have RULES!
You scare us when you're mean
and hateful like THEM!"
This is off topic but I spoke to the pension board today and the city has so screwed up premium payments for retiree healthcare that there will be no deductions on the December check and double deductions on the February check.How many more ways can they screw us over ?

We'll see your 10 toothpicks and raise you 10 more.
But on a more snarly sarcastic note...
What of the plausible rumors of the V/C dicks of old
surreptitiously taking out life insurance policies
on known, notorious and long dead shit-heads?
Wide-Head Ed (looks through two separate keyholes simultaneously with a
vacant lot between them) says 1400 hard-heads are the main movers
of Chicago's violent crime.
Heh...
And Rahm has bitched from day one about there being
no way to successfully extract money from Policing
except by cutting the throats of Policemen, retirees
and widows.
There's nothing wrong with parlaying/gaming shootings,
maimings and killings and such as long as the right m/fers
get shot, maimed and killed.
Right?
We all need to sit down and properly war-game these
disposable m/fers for our own benefit.

It's not who will lose a life but where that loss of life will occur. It's called gallows humor and is an approved coping skill for those in high stress jobs. Be thankful you're not awake when the surgeon is operating on u. The things they say are really disgusting.
I'm predicting 015. There are some real go getters over there and proved that they deserve making it to the murder "pro bowl" this year. I don't expect anything to change in 2017.

This pool isn't a bet on who will die first in the city, it's based on where the first death is. In a perfect world the payout would never happen, but this is Chicago.
Yea I agree. This should have stayed off th blog. Makes us look bad. Ive worked on the westside and people have done this in probably 5 plus years. Not good SCC
In 2017 im betting every toothpick I have on President Trump. Arm up America because there will be the unlawful ones who will not understand or here about the new rules.
Told you the DOJ was going to try to issue the consent decree before Inauguration Day.
O/T Hey media.Since the dept and Special Ed are pushing the cameras again lets ask him how the cameras that are in use now are working out.Ask how the down loading is going. Total disaster. Start asking questions and watch the mumbles start with all the b/s. Theres no way with 8000 cameras this dept can figure our the downloading and putting a plan together, Bet on it.
Why is McCarthy gonna be on 60 minutes Sunday discussing crime and police response to crime in Chicago?? Geez can this dude just go away already?? A must watch

It's not the who, it's the where. If you'd like to bet on the who, I'll take Pfleger for 10 toothpicks. Hoping he catches a stray while making one of his ridiculous speeches in his version of ebonics.
Does heyjackass count the death investigations in their monthly totals? If not, we could be well over 800 already.
Body cameras coming for everyone in 2017. Good luck, my dist already had them. We've adjusted fire and are awaiting the next hammer to drop.
Homicides in 2017 may go further than a thousand.
Guess who is holding the "toothpicks" in 012? I hear most of them are missing already.
I hate Garry when he merged districts, it made the payout in toothpicks less.
Like when you win big at the casino the boss comes over to you and says. TELL EM WHERE YOU GOT IT AND HOW EASY IT WAS.
Don't give me this gallows humor defense mechanism bullshit. I've been on for close to 20 years. We laugh at their misery because they deserve it.
why do we think they deserve it? Because we don't buy this systemic oppression, and justification bullshit.
you live by the sword you perish from it.
but who remembers anything from that book anymore?
Instead, violent criminals in cities like ours all suddenly get a pass because ... poverty... because... racism... because...school funding, programs, job training, blah, blah, blah.
I went to procedual justice2 for what? To be lectured by kiss ass kool aid drinking clout babies who no longer have to make arrests, answer calls, or put hands on people, that felons want us to earn legitimacy and give them a voice before we can do our jobs because if there isn't trust in the community and we don't "make good deposits in the community bank with acts of kindness, " we won't be able to do our jobs legitimately in the eyes of those we serve...
street stops 90 percent down. Homicides back to levels straight out of the days of urban decay. Don't touch them, don't talk to them, don't look in their direction. They can have it.
I grew up not wanting to ever get arrested for fear of hurting my family. I figured out how to have my fun in the streets when gangs were everywhere. I figured out how to avoid the police and avoid trouble.
I didn't make excuses for my choices if I made stupid choices, and even less so for the gangbangers and assholes running around fucking everything up, because they deserved an asskicking, they deserved to go to prison and if they still didn't get it, then they deserved to die in the street because they kept asking for it.
Haha. I hope you are being sarcastic. But, if not, the "ghoul pool" has been around for over 25 years that I know of.

Actually, we do know the exact time the sun will rise every day, tomorrow, next week, and a hundred years in the future. But I agree with your point.
" Makes us look bad. Ive worked on the westside and people have done this in probably 5 plus years."
Well lad I know it was going on in 1966 and after all you and I have had to put up with over fifty some years why should we give a shit what some Winnetka resident thinks, they and the west side dwellers hate us anyway.

======================
This post is so spot on.
I have a customer I have known for 25 years who I have got to know very well, as well as his two sons who are police in another major city.
The stories I have heard from them are just unbelievable. They would make the most hardened hardass break down and crack in the civilian world.
People don't realize the toll it takes on the individual police officer, dealing with what they see on a day to day basis.
As you say, one can not really understand it, unless one has lived it.
Making humor of it is often a way of keeping your sanity.
Making humor of tradgedy is pretty typical in areas such as the Military, Police, Fire or Dr's and Nurses where you see the best and worst of society, sadly too much of the worse.
It's also typical of social justice warrior type snowflakes to get on their high horse and complain about it.
To all the men and women of the CPD, you're Supermen & Superwomen.
One of you just took their own life.
As previously posted, please reach out to your brothers and sisters in blue, if you're thinking of taking your own life.
Your brothers and sisters need you and we citizens need you.
You're not alone.
-Citizen
Ah the ole ghoul pool. Never got to win that one. But one I was lucky to get once was the ole hanging pool. Remember this one wheel gunners. Thirty one days in a month pick your favorite date of the month. Viola.
Take the "defense mechanism" and "coping mechanism" bullshit away please. I have never been to a homicide scene where I felt one bit of empathy for the deceased,white,black,brown,or other.
Go to your safe space/corners snow flakes and let those that know how to handle the job fucking handle it.
