Arena Stalks Firefighters, Too
AlderDumbass filed EIGHTEEN IR Complaints (their version of a CR) with the CFD over social media posts objecting to his attempt to bring Section 8 housing into the Jefferson Park area.
What is it called when people in government attempt to weaponize the investigative processes to stifle Free Speech? And why isn't the media covering this at all?
We'll have even more info shortly.

Chicago, like the old Soviet Union, is a one party state. Same media coverage too. Careful you might get sent to the gulag
This guy has to go.....will there be a viable candidate to run against him and will the firemen and coppers in the ward finally join together and defeat this prick ? Time will tell. He is giving us all the reasons we need.
He is really barking up the wrong trees in his quest for higher office.
They tax you to death and want you to be Mr Rogers to assholes--- it's a beautiful day in the neighborhood..., shit you can't ride that little train-- assholes would be there to mug u too.
What is the IR/CR process for alderscum? Pitchforks and torches?
Sounds like suppresion of speech and civil rights under the color of law?
Someone wake up Snoozy the Dwarf at the DOJ.
Tell Jeff Sessions this is his lead into investigating and cleaning up Chicago.
cfd bwc.
The weaponizing of government assets against its own people who oppose the government is at the roots of socialist, fascist and communist governments. All of which are leftist and require dictatorial power.this is what the Democratic party has become.
This stroke has got to be stopped.

Gonna get worse too, under the tariffs. Uncle Sam becomes

Section 8.
We need to get a list of all of his endorsed candidates in the primary election. Take Democrat ballots and vote against them.
It's not just police and fire, there's close to 100 City Workers, from multiple different, Arena and his minions actively stalked.
This "weaponizing" is happening at the highest levels of the FBI and Justice Dept. with nary a mention by the leftist mainstream media. You think they are going to give a shit about some pissant alderman and some cops and firemen? Not likely.
Arena is a coward,he had a young assistant file the complaints, until he got busted, horrible human being

That reminded me of the Son of Svengolie parody, Mr Robber's Neighborhood (1979) still on youtube. As the song goes, "When there's no one home in the neighborhood, we visit someone with stuff that's good and steal it". Sad but it's true, every neighborhood is Mister Robber's neighborhood these days.
protest march around alderman arena office-!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Be careful of the wolf Arena. He loves to eat those who get in his way. This carpetbagger from the east is a dangerous beast. He gets millions from the radical and powerful SEIU union. He doesn't have Chicago values. To defeat him people in the ward have to become informed and take a few minutes to go and vote. The word must be spread block by block and house to house to beat the carpetbagger from the east He's very dangerous and he knows that most people are so busy raising families and working that they don't vote. Spread the word and vote him out next year.

Good thing Local 2 is writing letters endorsing Democrats Cullerton and Cynthia Soto! What is wrong with the fire union??
it was either me or arena that had to go.
i chose me. the dogwoods are blooming in east tn.
beautiful.
Skip the 18 minute intro and hear an explanation of what we are up against:
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Nyw4rTywyY0
Don’t be surprised. Democrats gotta be nazis. They should quit calling themselves liberals because they are quite the opposite. Arena learned weaponizing government to stifle rivals from Lord of the Flies and the She-devil as evidenced by the alphabet agencies transgressions.
Looks like our only hope is gallows at gitmo for the left.
The developer of this project, past practice, has developed properties with federal funds with the optics of being sec.8 or affordable housing. The issue is that these apartments are built as condos. They are rented out as affordable housing and then sold as condos 5-7 years later. Everyone including Arena gets a huge payout for selling condos that cost nothing to build.
Not true you say john boy, Then make sure the developer isnt allowed to convert the apartment building to condos. Bet you they dont build if you do that.
If I lived in his ward I would post a sign in yard about him. There would be no doubt about my feeling toward his trying to curtail free speech. Would also organize a protest in front of ward office. Come on people make some noise. Call all media, protests always get some air time. Your protest might even start a counter protest, sure to be covered.
If City of Chicago attempts to stifle freedom of speech for its employees, then ACLU will file a lawsuit for damages. That means of Arena's harassment here is enforced in regards to retributions at your place of employment. Anyone who's experienced documented harassment or punitive punishment should contact ACLU. Start collecting your notes.
Does he have enough time for his pension?
There were several "super-voucher" articles several years ago, regarding Chicago's special Section 8 housing vouchers administered by CHA which allow the bearer to rent a luxury apartment normally-priced at $3000+/month. You may remember the disabled former gangbanger-exfelon who shot his neighbor in their apartment building's gym because he was reprimanded for making offensive sexual comments to this neighbor's girlfriend. That guy, with several gun convictions, with no job, nonetheless received a super-voucher valued at $3200/month. Don't expect any competent screening of candidate tenants at this Section 8-qualified rental building; precedent indicates none really occurs.
Likewise, several lakefront high-rises have been certified as recipient-qualified for super-voucher program, which has caused an influx of Section 8 renters. A disgruntled owner in our own lakefront condominium building threatened to rent to Section 8 tenant just to extract revenge on our incompetent condo board. Very easy to do.
His neighborhood either has to organize or shut up and sit back and watch the area become another Austin. I grew up in Austin in the 60s. Beautiful neighborhood that changed into the hellhole it is now when the demographics of the races changed. Watch the Belmont Crain go thru what your about to experience. Will take 3-5 years once the Section 8 occupants take hold and begin the migration. Property values will fall followed by increase in crime. You still have some options left.
1. Organize into a political block with a viable candidate and support that
person with time and money.
2. Get out now while housing prices are stable.
3. If your happy keep voting democratic tools into your lives.
As you can see if you like your home 2 & 3 not best choices, so suck it up and put your tome and money where only your mouths are now. Wishing and hoping are not options for change. Activism is, show this tool your done with him and his democratic nonsense. Failure to act will have one positive happen for neighborhood, an increased presence when high level of crime warrants additional police to control gangs and drug problems.
CFD union is so corrupt. I bet they don't even defend those being attacked by Arena.
IMO maybe it’s time for the cops and ff’s that had their name turned in should look into legal action against him.
Maybe he has violated their civil rights denying them their rights to free speech. Maybe a lawyer can hang this
guy out to dry
Somebody please sue this asshole. Call the ACLU they will help, right up their alley
When do we march on Section8’Arena’s next townhall?
The power of a few votes, boy did the 45th Ward blow it in 2015.
Don’t allow Section8’Arena colonize the NWside.
One more push JG for Feb2019 ???
"The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants." - Thomas Jefferson
There will be a point in our lifetime where we having nothing else to loose. Prepare yourselves mentally, physically, and most importantly, spiritually.
My parents left Mexico as children and complain about the corruption and how they love this country and how its becoming like Mexico. My in-laws talk about growing up as kids under fascism in Italy and how children, neighbors, friends were told to tell everything that happened at home. You had to be inline with politics or be turned in.
We are in the USA and we got both going on Fascism and Third world corruption.
So.....does this building have a green light? Is it a done deal? I don’t live in that area and the only thing I know for certain is that the alderman is a jagoff.
Get all involved and take this to the Federal Court System for discrimination and violating your right too free speech. You are entitled to your opinion(s) and someone trying to silence you through treats of losing your job or destroying someones reputation; this people has all the elements to be successful in a legal action. This is an opportunity that does not come around that often, so I pray the Officers and involved Fire Fighters take advantage of this incredible abuse of power.
CFD doesn’t treat their men the same as CPD. their guys will be alright. Don’t think Altman received any punishment for shoving a CPD marine unit officer, unless you consider a promotion to be punishment
03:42:00 AM
Nicely done...and so true! Your last sentence pretty much sums it up!
This is what democracy looks like
It's time for a class action law suit against him as well as a DOJ civil rights investigation by the corruption in government task force for his deprivation of first amendment rights.
Why did cfd local 2 endorse Madigan and democrats in letter to members? The only thing the democrats have done is raise taxes and cater to assholes. Vote everyone of them out of office. They have destroyed this city and state.
Can’t understand all the negativity over Arena didn’t the ward citizens vote for him twice.
Why is this surprising to anyone?
OPS/IPRA/COPA has always been used by criminals as a means to intimidate coppers.
Alderman are criminals.
The Northwest Side Press Newspaper reports: "Nearly 60 current, retired government workers faced scrutiny from Arena’s office for comments on housing proposal"
http://nadignewspapers.com/2018/03/03/update-nearly-60-current-retired-government-workers-faced-scrutiny-arenas-office-comments-housing-proposal/
The Feds are real interested in that $80,000 BMW that Arena just bought.
Think of your kids, Jill. Remember what he’s done to you. Just tell the truth.

It is time police and fire organize and pickets this asshole's home and office stating that he is violating our rights of free speech. The unions need to file a federal lawsuit against him and his people and the city for violating our civil rights.
This would be at least Official Misconduct.

The “powerful” SEIU? You mean the hotel maids and janitors union? Hahahhaahahha! They can’t even get their airport “police” sworn law enforcement status. They’re not that powerful.
Like the rest of the democrats, they do not need you anymore for votes. Once the new chicago "city key" is up and running illegal immigrants will be able to vote in chicago AND in federal elections. They will be able to use the chicago id as proof of residency and to register to vote. The only speed bump is that there is a question asked on the form: "are you a citizen of the united states?". If they answer yes then they become eligible to vote with no further proof required. We have to rely on people who are already skirting the immigration laws and in many cases committing numerous other offenses to suddenly have a moment of honesty and not check the box.
Alderscum pawar was on tucker carlson tonight claiming that it was merely a "library card" and that more proof was needed before they could vote only to have alderman Napolitano come on with him and prove him wrong. pawar either does not know (doubtful and not an excuse either since this DIRECTLY allows them to register and not hidden in a bunch of other proposals) or was straight up lying on a national program. Either way it is disgusting. Let the pandering for ILLEGAL VOTES begin. It just became a real thing.
Key words to find the youtube video: "Only CITIZENS Are Allowed to Vote!!" Tucker DRILLS Chicago Alderman on New ID Card for Illegals
Time to call the ACLU, they actually might take the case just for the optics. If they don't want to help then they need to be called out for discrimination against city employees.

Only problem is we don't have a democracy, we have a representative republic. Many on the left, and some on the right make the mistake of calling our form of government a democracy.
The left would love to have a democracy. Pack the country with illegals to nullify the conservative vote by fraud, because they can't fool enough citizens into voting for their one world bull crap anymore.
Notice how they want to get rid of the electoral college? They want mob rule.
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep deciding on dinner plans.
With electoral college abolished Hitlery may have won.
Sheesh, public school system has dumbed most down.
So when will you all stop talking about Arena and do something. Sue the bastard and his whole staff, someone on staff will cave in and give him up. Lisa will not look good in orange.
Why not pickets at his office. Some retired CFD AND CPD out front would be a nice start.
Maybe on our posts to Arena, it’s time to put a disclaimer like our To-Froms.
To Alderman Arena and his Subordinates,
As an American citizen and resident of Chicago, I enjoy personal liberties guaranteed in our Constitution, Bill of Rights, and other laws/ordinances. These liberties are afforded to all citizens, City workers alike (while not in the performance of their official duties). It is the Right of every citizen to voice their displeasure of Government that represents them. This Right is the foundation of our Country which allows the people a voice in Government. Any attempt to stifle, censor, eradicate, or retaliate against me, while I exercise theses rights, may result in legal action.
Safe Safe!
What's this shit called? Communism. It's hidden by the name "liberal democrat" but shit stinks no matter what name you give it!
J.J.
Any truth to a rumor that Niles is tearing down a building west of their police station to build a 75 unit low cost housing building?
Need to vote this asshat out. How he got in the ward is beyond me.
Why aren’t police officers and firefighters protected by constitutional rights like the 1st amendment? Pissbums, Blacks, illegals, millenniums, nazis, women, flaky students, cripples, gays, transgenders, Asians and even socialist democrates all have constitutional protections except cops and firemen.
Try telling the Jewish Defense League that they can’t protest and see what happens.
Send your post cards and letters to aldercreature asshole's home, or ring his chimes, and give him a piece if your mind.
4137 N. LeClaire
Did he sign an affidavit ? If so once unfounded the unions should sue his ass ! Who’s running against him In 2019?
Doesn't make sense to lump the good, hard working, test passing members of CFD with the clouted scum of Altman's caliber.

You are dangerously wrong. That’s how the prick got elected in the first place. The aviation security officer issue was a whole different ballgame.

You mean the S.E.I.U. rent-a-mob?
I bet that after the AstroTurf rally/marches, when the rented Soros busses finally come to pick them up and drop them back off where they were assembled hours earlier, some leftist flunky is collecting the purple t-shirts they issued to them at the start.
To the asshole that said to "call the ACLU"...I say Fuck You!
The Firefighters Union and the combined Police unions (FOP, SGT, LT's, Capt's) have the combined resources to sue John Arena and Leslie Perkins individually for a conspiracy to violate our Civil Rights! Yes, we can ask for all 100% of their personal assets, attorney fees, and punitive damages. Since Arena orchestrated this, he cannot ask the city to defend him. Let him try to stand up against OUR ATTORNEYS. We can split with the cost with the firefighters union....and imaging the subpoena's to be issued for phone records, all city email accounts, all personal email accounts, etc. Yes, we and the firefighters need to file a class-action law suit against Arena & Leslie individually.
The lawsuit will definitely have a chilling effect on his behavior when he realizes the potential penalties.
Sarcasm was lost on 5:17 PM
Poor little old marxist-run SEIU:
makes $25 million+ in political donations each 2-year election cycle
collects $300 million+ in union dues each year

No complaints about trying to raise wages for membership. Got no use for their commie leaderhip's support for politically-correct haters, especially those who hate cops.

You want to combine with the firefighters union? The union that wouldn’t put in a penny for the retirees healthcare lawsuit. The one that wounds spend a penny, but would have reaped the rewards if we had one. Good luck with having our @brothers” union to help

Ask the retirees how the CPD union splits the cost.

If the weaponized alphabet agencies, IRS Lois Lerner, FBI James Comey, CIA’s Brennan, and Atty. General Holder with Sec of State Clinton get put in gitmo you will have a good chance of sticking carpetbagger Arena.
Thoroughly disgusted with local2 for their endorsements. I’m a 40 yr member and I use my Local2 endorsement sheet as backup birdcage liner for when I run out of tribune and scum times issues I steal from their street vending machines. When it comes to political endorsements most of us hose jockeys and paramedics pay zero attention to who our board endorses. Keep in mind that we regularly bounce our executive boards just cause we get tired of bullshit.
MONEY TALKS.
i did not see 1 post about anyone filing a lawsuit
Or endorsing someone with cash.
Who will save the police officer who can't stand on his own. Light up those phone lines at FOP for you off duty internet post.
And the being on FB with police star and you in uniform??? well i would think you knew better but pride makes people think they are immune to fall out.
