"I am SO Running!"
Here's that Signature Page we were talking about:
In the meantime, Garry insists he's running for mayor - just hold his beer:
- In a room on the Northwest Side filled with “Garry McCarthy for Mayor” signs, Chicago’s fired former top cop warned anyone who thinks he’s not serious to “wait a couple of weeks, and let’s just see how fake my candidacy is.”
He also brushed off a protest by about 15 members of SEIU Local 1 outside his fundraiser Sunday at the Irish American Heritage Center as a game of “look at the squirrel” — a strategy he expects his political opponents to repeat.
The SEIU members, including one in a Donald Trump outfit, marched outside the fundraiser and handed out copies of a Chicago Sun-Times article tying McCarthy’s possible run for mayor to a lucrative O’Hare janitorial contract up for re-bidding.
“The theory is that I’m running a fake campaign so that somebody else can get a contract,” McCarthy said in his speech. “Now that makes great sense to me.”
We're pretty sure he was being sarcastic, but to anyone living in Chicago for more than ten seconds, it's completely within the realm of possibility.

Hillary Clinton should run for mayor... but something tells me she does not have a chance in hell to win
I hope they have 100 people running. Just so Rahm doesn't get in again.
Yes Mcarthys campaign is a sham. Look at the people who he’s befriended or related to via marriage. Some of those rumored to be connected to the “boys”. Do you think they would allow him to go against rahm. On the other hand maybe they want Gary elected because they would have free reign. All they would have to do is keep Gary liquored up and provide rides on nIce boats. Only in Shitcago.
Lying shyster.
I'm running too... the fuck out of the city
Hopefully running back to joyzeeeee
Let him run, let him run. He has the explosive evidence that will de-throne the little jerk from Wilmette. He isn't running to win, he is running to make hay of the little asshole that sat on a tape and caused more problems for all of us than
Never underestimate the leprechaun..... even one from New Jersey.....
I was there. People can continue to make snide comments, but if you heard his speech in its entirety— as did Rahm’s moles — you’d know that he’s connecting with a constituency that has already proved its mad as hell and isn’t going to take it anymore.
BTW, based on the attendees, this might be the first time people who wear blue to work actually show up and vote.
P.S. Polling shows McCarthy at 15% and rising daily. Tiny Dancer ain’t happy with that.
Look he was a shitty Superintendent, I get it.
But having a copper at mayor it’s 100x better than Rahm or any other liberal trash that might run.
I’m on board.
Although I firmly subscribe to the anybody but Rahm movement I don’t think McNumbnuts would make much of a mayor nor do I think he has much of a chance.
I do like the idea of him dishing dirt on Rahm though.
Let the mudslinging begin.
Another Democratic hack to vote for. The real question is would he be any better than Rahm. As Trump said, "what have you got to loose". At least he might not hate the police as much. But can't understand why there's not an executable republican in the mix. If there was ever an opportunity to change the democratic stronghold on city it's next election. The silent majority is fed up.
God help you guys if he does run.
I hope no one gets bamboozled by this guy. He sounded great when he first came here then look what happened. Please don't even consider him for any political position. Like Weis, he just needs to fade into the abyss.
This is the same guy as superintendent who signed a termination of an officer.
Without reading the report let alone challenging it. The corp counsel tried to kick it back stating there is no reason to fire the officer?
But it went back and forth between HQ, IAD and Corp counsel......
Then they served the termination on the officer only to find the accused officer could not have done the allegation. With the evidence the IAD provided in the original allegations.......
It was blind leading the blind and then everyone blaming the other guy....

You think Garry was a copper? lol.
The clowns and the circus continues.
Boy oh Boy....I really hope the Gloves come off with these two...I'm sure we all want to see what Gerry has on the North Shore Arzehole....
Chicago needs a McCarthy as much as a carpetbagger Kennedy.
Mc Streetlights or Mc Jersey shores will be on WGN morning news
Cannot wait to hear his pearls of wisdom????
Like how we did it in New York?????
Best question I have did the mayor have your back?
Or was that just a knife in it???
McTipsy signed off before ACLU?
i would vote for this fucker just to see this city go down the toilet faster.
ROTFLMFAO
he is a goof
Mc duff broke our pension fund fuck him and the horse he rode in on Vote Republican
WOW! Mac's party was filled to the walls with people....
I'm not voting for any f** king New Yorker EVER. I'll stay home until the Republi8get off their asses.
he will run
tell all about unqualified command staff that you were forced to promote
GMAC visited the WGN Channel 9 Studios this morning. Said it is documented that the LaQuan McDonald shooting was handled by City Hall. He said he did the only thing he was allowed to do by law and that was placing Jason Van Dyke on desk duty. Said, as he has said all along, Van Dyke put himself in a bad tactical position and he will have to articulate his reason for using deadly force.
He's got my vote
McJerseyJackass is a political whore for the ages. Teaming up with POTUS Drumpf to play the long con would be great for Chicago.
OT SCC, but I thought I would throw this in here, found on First Responder Pension Facts page from a few days ago.
https://www.nirsonline.org/2018/02/new-case-study-examines-how-dismantling-pensions-triggered-mass-exodus-of-public-safety-workers/
As far as Garry running, I'd have to see/read more. And I believe he's attempting to run as a Republican, which hasn't happened in over 100 yrs in this city.
You think Rahm was horrible, this guy 10x worst. What credentials does he have except sarcasm and hot air. Does he know what fiscal planning or a budget is? Bring the ego back to NY
Again sheepeople when he first got here he closed the beach because it was too hot. He also ran to Phakers audience to berate the police dept.As the letter said he signed on with the aclu ,as was said by Fergie in the movie The Town,I'll clip[ your nuts for ya. Thats what McI'llhave another did for the police department. 9.5 brought him in because he was an outof towner and he could control him as he had no ties to any politicians and 9.5 could mold him into what he wanted, another puppet. All he's going to do is bring more jags from NY here to run the dept. Please stay home and and change diapers and feed the baby. Let mommy earn the dollars. We don't need him.
McCarthy pushed for all the arrest,all the stats (contact cards) to show Rham he could do more with less. Then when shit hit the fan he ran away from working coppers faster than the dope man. He Fucked up CPD just like he did in Newark. He would be CPD's worst nightmare. The dept would go right back to push,push,push numbers and stops. In the meantime he will be pandering to the Father Fakers and all the bullshit reverends, all the while sticking it up the working coppers ass. Fuck Him.
The pro Rahm media is out in force. Gary will expose Rahm that’s all that matters. And any cop who votes for pro crime Rahm is an asshole.
I need to see how much of his wifes cash is in this to believe any of the bullshit.
If he comes up with 1 of those half ass website you pay 10.00 $ for to create then i will believe he is a half wit contender.
Here's a possible theory. This guy Simon who is garys backer convinced Gary that he could win. Even though Simon only wants to use this as leverage to get the contract renewed. Gary's ego is so big he actually thinks he can win even though he has no chance.gary is an idiot go away. Just remember this. The department is the way it is today as a direct result of idiot Gary's policies and promotions.
ANYONE but Rahm
After Obama, never vote democrat again!

Something tells me you are wrong. You are not even close. During the presidential election she won over 83% of the votes in Chicago.
She just doesn’t want to be bothered with a low level job like mayor. She is above that
so gqarry enlighten us aboiut in the incident involving your daughter ,you and the new jersey police, were you drinking?
Eyes wide open. GM has my vote
Too bad Rahm can't use this for ammunition.
I look at it like aiming my handgun. THe front sight is the pension. The rear sight is anyone who helps line up the pension. Remember you have to see both sights before you pull the trigger. I'n pretty fucking deep aren't I?
I won’t buy into the ACLU agreement.
Either you sign the letter or you’re gone is likely what Rahm said.
Who among us had to sign off on bullshit under duress?
Let’s look at the campaign.
Rahm has the media and a public relations staff to slime Gmac...right now is not “the right time” for that.
Rahm is still squirming around though, he still has plenty of unknowns who may pop up into the race, my guess it’s KimmJongFxxx.
It’s been no secret and theres a big Dem movement to rid the political system of old white men.
COPA is going full steam ahead and will be ready to highlight every fault in The GMac Years.
The focus will be on racist corrupt police, resisting reforms and no mention of Special Ed’s upward spiral of violence, shootings and murder after Gmac’s sudden departure.
I’ll roll the dice with Gmac for mayor as far as the Department is concerned.
I think it will be a different kind of pandering, but he’s more likely to sort out the Merit BS, hire more frequently rather than promise, stop the frivolous spending and mostly address the real crime issues with the toughness it requires.
18th Morgan check out the anti Trump social club. Sanctuary Shitcago!!
OT..1ST DEPUPTY HAD A STROKE,mentioned this yesterday,they are trying to keep it quite.
15% for mc carthy 15%for Vallas 15% for Leviere and 6% for any other candidate. Then guess what? Rahms in a runoff
First let’s dethrone Berrios to cripple the machine

A copper?
Garrrrrry's been a political animal since his first breath as a 'police officer'.
He's always had juice and had zero reputation as the working police.
Now, he married into a Chicago political family to facilitate his climb.
I don't want another social climber as mayor. A copper? You're funny.

Not unless she's got a wedding dress in somebody's basement.
Unless Garry pledges to:
Reopen Detective Areas
Reopen 023 and 013
Staff, train and equip the CPD properly
Fund the pension
Revoke ACLU agreement
Fight all lawsuits against the CPD in court instead of settling
Drop the insane obsession with useless numbers-based policing (TSSS cards, ISRs),
and start emphasizing CBs again
Quit pandering to the third of the City that somehow accounts for 80% of its crime, call them out on their b.s., and change policies that directly led to the spike in all categories of crime
Abandon the statistics scam known as Compstat
Rip up the bike lanes
Do whatever is in his power to compel the County to start prosecuting and housing these criminals again, adult or juvenile
And cut the number of Aldermen from 50 to 20;
If he does not pledge to do the above, then he is not a serious candidate.
But even if he made it into office, he would do none of the above. So spare us, Garry. Not interested.
Chicago prospering again isn't an impossibility. You have to make safe the City, and lower all the taxes and fees to attract small businesses back. Cut unnecessary spending in City governmemt. Turn these welfare shitholes back into law abiding working class neighborhoods.
And quit throwing money at that scam known as "education". You need willing, attentive students, not mo' money thrown at CPS with no results or accountability. Stupid politicians and stupid voters, "we need more education." Yeah yeah,
That is all.
Ok Gary we know your glued to this blog, you want my vote expose rahm now, when did he see JVD video? Lets see if your the "bulldog" or the "poodle" from New York? Gary your doing this in order to get airport security millions and millions of cash contracts for security your not bullshitting us Mr "Bronx bullshitter!" Your wife is uber rich we know that, nice how you ran away from the family and married someones little girl,are you not her fathers age?
Gary you signed the memo coward so your implicated in the crime rise in this city, yes Gary being the lapdog fits you, now tell your guy Simon to keep pulling the puppet strings as you dance,wait a gosh darn minute rahms a ballerina and you dance the perfect couple! Ahh the only question is whose wedding dress was in the basemen, "If the dress fits,you must quit!"
I'm curious. Please. What candidate declared or as yet undeclared, would the CPD enthusiastically support???????????
McCarthy is within 4 points of Rahm on a in depth poll. He just started the campaign and will be in a runoff. Ballad barely registers on the same poll.
Vote Vallas, who has an idea on how to run the city. McNuts has no idea and will take away votes from Vallas. Still the most important thing is to vote.
Isn’t the SEIU the group of jagoffs that supported Arena?
I don't care what dumbass Gary did as the supe...he would be a million times better than globalist satanist Rahm. Get your heads out of your fucking asses and come back to reality.
can you say outfit
Three mediocre fundraisers and this tent will fold. Too bad, could have been the biggest shit show since Bernie Epton
I was at his event yesterday. He gave a very good speech. Glad to see that he "gets it", that if crime is not brought under control, nothing else matters.
Who cares even if his expertise is light in some other areas. He is smart enough to know that nobody knows it all, and he will surround himself with people who do.
Way better than Rahm. Would not vote for Rahm if my life depended on it.
Call the next case. Not a cop.
Not a cop but I do have one question. In what world can a sit on my ass part time politician who more than likely has several other gigs, can withdraw over a million dollars in pension but a first responder is lucky to get a third of that?
Win or lose, he will destroy mayor pay to play if he wants. Unfortunately the ahole media and CPD hair gel Bridgeport and minority merit clowns will continue to blast him on SCC. He must completely take the gloves off and not address Rahm’s games with the Trump stuff. That’s already starting here. That is Rahm’s plan. Gary must talk about how he was forced by Rahm who, what and when to promote . And Gary must not trust the fake republicans he’s associating with. Lori Montana to start. More names from Edgar’s inner circle of RINOs to come. They republicans he’s friends with have not and will never get anything from the President. They are only combine Chicago dems.
Does Chicago need another mayor who has friends with dubious connections? When McCarthy can answer why he's best pals with Rick Simon, who inherited his multimillion dollar business from a close personal friend who was also an Outfit guy, then maybe he'll get my vote.

That’s all you got. Trying to help his daughter. Now I’m sure you have never seen an exempt try to help his or her child on the CPD. Didn’t something like that happen just recently on the southside recently. And what happened to that Lt
Every parent on this job will try to help their child if they can
Were you drinking? A boss or exempt who drinks. That’s surprising because I have never seen that on the CPD
If you think he was a power hungry ego maniac as Supt. who belittled grown men for his own entertainment what do you think he’ll be like as mayor. He’ll bring back all that NYPD bullshit that doesn’t work in Chicago. And just wait until he wants as many ISR’s as he did contact cards. He won’t get em, the Cmdr’s will get destroyed because of it and that big ball of shit will roll down hill and make everyone even more miserable than they were when he was Supt. How soon we forget.
I hope Garry fries Rahs’s ass.
Is it the water making you all stupid. Voting for another democrat is not the answer. Haven't you had enough of democratic thievery. If they have a D after their name they are going to continue with the same shit your dealing with now. No matter who you elect as long as they are from the democratic machine it will be business as usual. The crook just has a different name but the adgenda will be the same. The smarter ones are leaving and the liberal morons will continue to back the current pos administration.
Until Madigan has a stroke Illinois is doomed. One can hope sooner than later.
Somewhat on topic -- brought to you from Baltimore. Even if you win you will lose:

Mike flabbergasted, asshole Rahm ass kisser and Anthony Beale, failed alderscum attacked on channel 32 for stating that middle class blacks leave while trigger puller stay. Beale wants Gary to resign for the comment. Truth hurts.
Who’s the 1st Deputy now?
I’ll roll the dice with Gmac for mayor as far as the Department is concerned.
I think it will be a different kind of pandering, but he’s more likely to sort out the Merit BS
Oh really, just like he did when HE made a class of 13 merit Sargent's by themselves, shorting 13 coppers off the list by having them WAIT until the following class. Thirteen off the list lost seniority to these ball lickers. Screw him and you if you vote for that drunk.
The last time a New Yorker came here and wanted to run this town his name was Al Capone.

In a world where no one has capped his or her pension in the only way that is guaranteed to be permanently effective.

2/12/2018 03:52:00 PM
Yes, I can say outfit.
Outfit.
What's that you say?
Speak up.
A little louder.
No, not loud enough.
Sorry, I can't hear you......
Anybody watch trailer park boys? This is like Sam losco vs Jim Lahey for trailer park supervisor
Hold a steady .08. sober enough to know what he's doing, and drunk enough to really enjoy doing it.
Someone is saying the 1st. Deputy had a stroke?

Cry me a river. Those grown men he belittle came back to the district and belittled their supervisors and all the troops. They hated being belittled , but didn’t hesitate doing the same to everyone below them. And you should feel sorry for them. Maybe coming back to the district and telling the men that the supt kicked his ass at Comstag and would they write a few more tickets would be the way a leader would handle it
But don’t worry, that didn’t happen so you will get no sympathy here.
Jesus Garcia almost won in 2015 , if the Democrats that knew ballerina man paid $6,000,000 in hush money had spilled the story . Jesus Garcia would be Mayor , Jesus might have run that is why he was moved up to run for Congress / Snaggletooth lost power , unelectable .
Garry can and will win , he must tell all about unqualified people promoted by Merit in CPD .

You're missing a few details, though.
Like the fact Garry didn't ask for a favor. He got physical with the officers.
He got arrested.
So did his ex-wife.
He didn't quietly ask for a favor (which also would have been wrong).
He really doesn't have the sense God gave a goat.
Your kid takes a traffic stop and you get into it with the officers? Then you're an ass.
You get drunk and shoot out streetlights? And you go around BRAGGING you drunkenly shoot into the air? You have NO business running a city you moved to a handful of years ago.
And then there are the domestics.
You have no business running ANYTHING.

The Alderman raging about McCarthy need to rage about these violent gangs and the Exodus of blacks out of this messed up city. It's easy to see no one wants to come here or live here. Oprah left, Steve left and actors signed to star in Empire commute here and wouldnot live here for any reason. I'm planning to vote for McCarthy if he runs. After what Rahm did to him, I think he would be a good match for the black community who got one kick to the butt for voting for tiny dancer!
