Downtown Muggings Up?

  • It’s one of Chicago’s dirty little secrets.

    Robberies in the heart of the city’s business district have soared 132% since 2014. And there is no sign that things will be slowing down soon.

    Through mid-December, The Loop has recorded 356 robberies this year. That’s up from 294 last year, 179 in 2015, and just 153 in 2014, according to data provided by the city.
Now let's see the media tie this into Dart's bragging about how the jail population is at historic lows. There can't possibly be a correlation, can there?

Absolutely no fucking way it will slow down. Business is booming for robbers and thieves. Police have been vilified. Repeat offenders get a slap on the wrist. It's actually the kind of environment that would make honest people become thieves.

001 is down 18 officers from last year (if I remember reading CWB right.)

And being in the Loop after 6pm gets rather sketchy.

I've worked in 001 for many, many years and can tell you it has never been this bad. That number doesn't take into account those victims that just walk away because they don't want the hassle of waiting for a report, don't want to go to court, have to go back to another country or state or just consider the loss as the cost of being in this shithole of a city.

Muggings, wildings and car jackings are up all over the place. So fu%#£@ tired of calling in subjects while off duty on the homefront that are showing all the classic suspicion indicators (stalking behavior, etc.) only to have an F1 call taker cut you off to ask why "is that suspicious" and then argue about it, then not letting you get the full description out before cutting off the call. I'm sorry if NONE of the recent hundred or so robberies have been committed by white, asian, latino (or actual amish) individuals (or groups). It is what it is. It's their personal biases and / or a concerted effort to show "a decrease in the increase" that are driving the "reduction in crime." When they only put out a vague description of people and actions, it's hard for the car to actually pick out the yutes I guess.

There is an episode of Star Trek voyager 7th season called "repentance"

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Repentance_(Star_Trek:_Voyager)

Came out in 2001, if you watch this on Netflix-- pretty much all the problems in society are in this episode. Liberals believe criminals can be come pillars of society end up with all hell breaking lose. Pretty shocking for this.episode coming out in 2001, and society trying it in out. Just watch this episode from a LEO point of view

For any candidates running it would be nice to see parole violators sent directly to jail, if you are out on bail and do dirt again, no bail for being that asshole. Fight the ACLU for stop and frisk and random car stops. Yes it would be a inconvenience but considering what the city is up against, it is time. NYC has triple our population but on track for record lows in homicides. They lock assholes up.

Hide the crime. That is how Rahm and Special Ed are going to control the crime rates.

Police are so busy, the victims won't wait to report the crime.
If the crime does get reported, it will be downgraded, armed robbery to simple theft, etc.
Never arrest anyone, and let them go if they do get arrested.
Let them go if they actually get convicted.

Rinse, Repeat.

Chicago circles the drain.

Just a matter of time before there are several killings downtown that will make national news. Then watch all the political rats scurry. If this level of crime was outside the US the State Department would be issuing a travel warning. Chicago is not safe, ANYWHERE in city. Crime is no longer confined to "known bad areas", it's in every nook and cranny in city. Well you got the policing and justice system you all wanted and voted for, so sit back and enjoy the outcomes.

Smart people leaving state in droves, tax revenues down. Next be tourists choosing to spend their money elsewhere, more lost dollars. Not to worry though, another tax increase and a few more fees will solve problem. Democrats always have a plan B. To bad you will not see any more money from Federal tax cuts, as local tax increases will more than offset any Federal benefits. But keep voting them in your doing just fine.

The department should create a new initiative. The small army of inside staff at Fort Fellatio a.k.a. H.Q. will ride mass transit in uniform into the Central Business District to conduct anti-cime high visability missions. An event number and CTA surveillance card will be obtained generating activity.

The Administrative or don't have to do police work officers are encouraged to wear a prescribed uniform, a duty authorized gun , a real police radio and handcuffs while conducting a two hour mission in their assigned business district retail box. Community interactions through retail purchases are encouraged and a separate event number should be obtained via OEMC. (Officers must remain in the box and sergeants will ensure strict compliance to this post mugging mission.)

The return trip will require a separate event number and surveillance card.

This is a win-win for the department. A minimum of three event numbers, positive community interactions, two bus checks and two hours in a Deployment Operations Center anti-mugging box (DOC Box). No messy arrests, just lots of fluff and a positive, meaningful morale booster for the female and male secretaries in the Ivory Tower. And yes, stimulation of the local economy.

They should publish stats on some tourist sites. Would give the adventurous another reason to visit the city. Print up 10,000 tee shirts that say I survived a weekend in Chicago. Would be a hot item at Navy Pier and some Mag Mile shops. Embrace the downtown crime because what doesn't kill you makes you stronger.

The City has become a lawless place - packs of (Amish) youths out on the streets acting like jagoffs (say "wilding" - all little angels, hah!).
Rahm and kidney boy Ed are fucking liars - deep down inside they know that - the difference is that Rahm isn't bothered but I think kidney boy is getting tired of perpetuating the lies - I could see him retiring soon "for health reasons".
I don't get downtown much but when I do these Amish shitheads act fearless & stalk around and will look you in the eye as if they will kill you if they want - they know that the cunt Kimmmmmmie will do nothing and even if she did, judges like that asshole Hooks will "give them another chance".
It's actually very sad & tragic that the City has become what it is today. And I don't see anything at all that could turn things around - EXCEPT maybe a brazen CCL type killing a couple of these fucks in broad daylight on Michigan Avenue. Could you imagine the "community" and the rev-runs screaming about how they were "about to become astro-physicists" and were "just doing what they need to do because the white man be holding them down"????
Fuck Dart. Fuck Foxx. Fuck Toni. And FUCK the 9.5 digit midget jagoff Rahm.
Stay safe - have a Merry Christmas - keep your head on a swivel - and God bless all of you police that have to deal with this shithole of a city.

>>>>> [Fri. Dec 22, 2017] At 8:15 p.m., a man was attacked from behind and pushed to the ground on the corner of State and Monroe by at least two offenders who robbed him. ..... Shortly before 1 a.m. today, a tourist was beaten to the ground and robbed outside of the I Am Temple, 170 West Washington. <<<<<

State St & Washington, and Washington between LaSalle & Wells. Un-fuckin-believable! Or it should be in a civilized city, even at 1:00 am and especially at 8:15 pm. And not that long ago that shit WAS unheard of.

But not today. Not in Tiny Dancer's Chicago. Today it's the "New Normal" -- Crime everywhere at any time. Wonderful Chicago Values, ya got there Rahm. You deserve to be reelected in a landslide. (rotflmao)

Alderthieves say these people should accept the violence as ordinary, everyday inconveniences and should get used to it.
Comforting.
Maybe the woke lakefront libtards will put the fear of a costly Run Off for the 2018-19 mayoral re-election campaign season.
Let’s see what Rahm’s Right Man for the Right Time™ has planned.

Possible Rahm Plan:
Close 020 and 018 and combine them with the 019/023 merge for a super mega public safety complex.
This creates the appearance (on paper) of 019 being an single 600 man crime thwarting machine, like 007.
Money saving up the yin yang.

No Chance:
Since they don’t do anything for public safety, stiff prosecutions and continual thug pandering, theres no chance Chicago will ever consider eliminating the 2 or 3 AlderLiar Wards in the area due to neglecting their job.

Tolerate Feral Democrat Chicago or leave.

Old Retired Guy, Here, Again !!!. Yes, I had to put my "Two Cents" worth on this issue. I "Used" to ride my bicycle downtown, and on the lakefront often. My wife and I "Used" to visit Navy Pier, and the surrounding areas, with our grandchildren often. Often in the evening hours. "No More"! Yes, I have a carry permit. Sure don't want to go thru the "Stress" associated with every having to use it. No more "Downtown City Tours" for us. Sure would have loved to take our grandchildren to see the Christmas Lights. Truth is, between being pushed off the sidewalk, by four to five "Bullies" walking abreast. Being "Cat Called" by "Groups of Youths" walking through the area, looking for victims, its not worth the hassle.

I had a quiet " discussion" with him, and after I pointed out "my leeetle friend" he took off. No "excuse me sir. I misspoke" or anything. Just turned and ran Wtf. Some people have no manners at all.

In 16 and 25, if a homeowner calls 311 to report a burglary or an attempted burglary to house or garage, the first question asked by the call taker is "are you reporting this to your insurance company?" If you say no, it's classified as vandalism or damage to property on the report you get in the mail, so it doesn't show up as an index crime. With a $1000 deductible, it's usually not worth reporting to the insurance company, but these are definite break-ins.

I left Chicago for the military when I was 18. My parents moved into the far northwest suburbs since. Now when visiting, I bypass al the places I used to visit with my wife and kids...biking on the lakefront, Wrigley, museums, Adler, Chinatown, etc. I used to look for a fast-food joint in the city for a hot dog or Italian beef. In the past several years, I bypassed the city altogether, taking I-80 in Indiana to the toll roads leading to my parent's home. Used to spend decent money in the city, not anymore.

I miss it, and chances are slim that me or my family will be targeted (wrong place/wrong time), but the odds are against me in the city. Maybe someday, but I don't see it changing for the better in my lifetime. I'll have to settle for seeing the skyline via the bypass.

Old Retired Guy, Here, Again !!!. Yes, I had to put my "Two Cents" worth on this issue. I "Used" to ride my bicycle downtown, and on the lakefront often. My wife and I "Used" to visit Navy Pier, and the surrounding areas, with our grandchildren often. Often in the evening hours. "No More"! Yes, I have a carry permit. Sure don't want to go thru the "Stress" associated with every having to use it. No more "Downtown City Tours" for us. Sure would have loved to take our grandchildren to see the Christmas Lights. Truth is, between being pushed off the sidewalk, by four to five "Bullies" walking abreast. Being "Cat Called" by "Groups of Youths" walking through the area, looking for victims, it's not worth the hassle.
Thanks all you Progressive Liberal's.

To each his own partner, I go to the Loop area by my lonesome and carry heavy. I try to encourage such groups to rob, mug, or assault me if they so desire. Doing this keeps me in shape and sharp. I'm by myself and that's the difference between you and me, no other family members to be concerned about. It's exhilarating, on many levels. Hey, I'm just going for a stroll in this great and beautiful City.

I know at least five coppers who called Amazon headquarters and ran down what's wrong with Chicago. They focused on the CPD having their hands tired, and the crime wave that's effecting this City. Amazon officials were told, their employees would be in danger, because of the lack of police on the street, manpower shortages and the lack of proper equipment. Hey Mayor, it was a pleasure giving you a hand.

Heh...
Rahm bojanked y'all Brahmins out of your paid-for Police coverage
and sent the lions share to the badlands never to be
seen again.

Besides... Who woulda foreseen the BEE-AY-DEE death-loving
m/fers from those badlands would flee their now
over-Policed breeding grounds to start hunting YOU?

Well... Besides us old, mean and unfriendly types
sitting back laughing at Rahm, Ed and all the other
exempt dumb-asses who lit this city aflame with their
hubris and incompetence.

NOBODY with worthwhile ink on their Law Enforcement
paper wants to be bothered with Chicago or CPD while
Wreck-It Rahm is in charge.

Which is why the little gonif is all in on wrecking it.

Little malignant pissant is all temper tantrum
because he can't quite make it go the way he wants
so just like Dude Inc., he's fucking it up so that
it will be of no use to anyone when he's done.

Once again, if the alderman responsible for 018 and 001 dont get together and demand 100 officers for each distirct immediately, then good luck at election time. Both district have substantial increases in residential units over the last 10 years with substantial decreases in police officers assigned to the districts. What is the current officer/resident ratio in these districts today and what was it just five years ago.
When the department throws the current officers assigned to 001 andf 018 numbers at you alderman/women, have them clarify how many are detailed out and are civilian. Dont trust CPD nor your mayor for any accurate reporting. You are being underserved residents of 001 and 018. Why dont you compare the officer/resident ratio with that of 007 and 011.
Oh yes, one more thing, how much are your property taxes. WAKE UP and call your aldermans office.
We the police would love to serve you, we are on your side...

Nah. We decided that we could either spend literally two hours a day filtering out racist, juvenile, or repetitive comments or we could spend that time finding original news stories that may have an impact on our readership.

We chose the latter. Comments are still wide open on our Facebook page and Twitter feed.

More power to SCC and any outlet that can commit the time, energy and mental wherewithal to keep comments sections alive.

not the police and I carry all the time. I pray, I never have to be put in a position to use deadly force. reading this blog has taught me and others, it might not be a good idea to stick around if you shoot a mugger(s). if I'm forced to use my 9mm, and if I got the change to walkaway, I'm taking it. Funny, but I see this all the time, a group of would be muggers seem to avoid any confrontation with me. It's almost like they have some type of warning system built in their heads.

They are the Jackals and low on the pecking order of predators. They sense you are not prey and avoid you and that to me is unfortunate. I've also seen exactly what you mentioned, for some unknown reason they avoid me also. It could be, we look at them as prey and that goes into a feeling to flee, just as a Jackal would, when confronted by a Tiger or more dangerous predator. Sorry, but I have to say it, shoot to kill.

Mass Transit is non-existent downtown, or anywhere else for that matter. So the robbers and retail theft offenders commit crime on the CTA, as well. Then they hop the turnstile, smoke weed and piss all over the CTA, as there are clearly no consequences and no chance of being arrested or stopped. The inmates truly run the asylum...

Sophia king, the alderscum in 01 is a friend of Preckwinkle and obama and Rahm. Her husband was caught as an unregistered lobbyist and go off at the ethics board by Rahm’s friends. She will never ask for more cops. Reilly and Hopkins are too busy hustling campaign cash from every bra and developer and contractor for unnecessary building. Hopkins is buddies with rick simon and republican power people and allows Rahm to do anything. Cops are taken from 01 and 18 and given to the south and west sides in exchange for ghetto votes. Rahm knows the idiot libs and the lgbtq community in lake view and boystown will still vote for him so he could care less. It’s time Rahm be stopped once and for all. He must be investigated, indicted and jailed.
