Unarmed "Ambassadors"
- Businesses in the Wicker Park and Bucktown neighborhoods are forgoing the idea of hiring private security officers and instead will rely on their own employees to act as unarmed “ambassadors” patrolling neighborhood streets.
The program, to be administered by the Wicker Park Bucktown Chamber of Commerce, comes despite a gradual decline in neighborhood crime. It also follows a decision by the Chicago Loop Alliance to hire armed security guards for part of downtown Chicago.
We suppose more eyes on the street might help in some ways, but we see a lot more potential victims, too. The criminals stalking the easy picking up north aren't deterred by extra witnesses. They aren't deterred by cameras either. Without an effective Criminal Justice system to put them away for violent offenses, they aren't deterred by anything.

Perhaps these "ambassadors" will have some sort of diplomatic immunity that will protect them from punches, kicks, knives and bullets.
Good luck kids!
It’s just another indication that RAHM IS A FAILURE. By sitting on McDonald tape, allowed crime to flourish in once safe neighborhoods only so he could be re-elected. Just a sham. Even when that neighborhood was still rough in the 90s, you could come walk the streets without getting jacked.
So what is the over/under bet until one of them gets their butts kicked?
Then this:
Chicago area loses population for 3rd straight year
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-met-chicago-cook-county-population-20180320-story.html
Why:
The state’s budget problems have caused people to lose confidence in Illinois, which might explain the declines in population, Simpson said. However, he pointed to new jobs as a sign of the economy improving.
Ahh yea sure Wally dishonest media could it be the excessive CRIME PROBLEM THE BLOODSHED AND MURDER? Maybe people tired of the illegals criminals and thugs being pandered and catered to?
Guns? We don't need no stinking guns!Vamanos...
It’s Cook County - there is no effective criminal justice system.
The Bucktown liberal democRAT snowflake got just what they voted for, lawlessness.
I got a chuckle out of the story... Actually chocked up a little drinking my coffee. I can only imagine a starsucks employee roaming the streets in his skinny jeans trying to prevent a crime. He might have CNN on speed dial.
Ya, but on "newsradio" last night I heard they'll have uniforms.
Wow. Impressed. NOT.
Personally, when I see "security" I think "problem" and get moving. Years ago, when "security" was added to local malls (remember them?) I thought "get out of Dodge."
NOT ILLINOIS. NOT LAW.
Will they carry those stupid whistles like the people in Hyde Park did in the seventies?
Now, Kees Me You Fool!!!!
I had a good laugh when I saw the photo of the "ambassador" in the Tribune. She looks like someone straight out of the movie "Ghost Busters". She probably is ok for tracking down ghosts, spirits and other out of world creatures, but not the "Amish" yutes who are overrunning Wicker Park.
Good luck when they stick a gun in this babes face.
very good idea for ambassadors.
just a few names.
guardian disciples
four corner angels
Hispanic choirboys
CCW and a cell phone!!!
No more wicker park detail.😮
Attention Citizens Pepper Spray is Legal to Carry.
Bring back the Guardian Angels.

Not just kicked betting on when they tell "joe" to move or whatever he will say "what the fuck he say" and then out comes the gun-bat-knife,cpd will be called the hospital will be the ambassadors next trip,how many will be maimed and or murdered? The liberal idiots that put this together are the cause and affect of the ever rising violence, why don't they take the problems to the source and march on city hall?
These are the same people that fill rahms and the 50 plus the others campaign coffers then complain about no police!
Why not bring these guys back:
http://guardianangels.org/
Then you look at where they are:
http://guardianangels.org/safety-patrols
Yes not here they pulled out of here after they rightfully called the magnificent mile "muggers mile" and the mayor with his crew ran them off,as having them help and intimidate the scum the mayor and the rest did not like that! The Democrat see the people they pander to illegal invaders,thugs and the rest as potential voters and they do anything and everything including complete destruction of the thin blue line for that vote! at least they looked the part, unlike the "ambassadors" who are just young kids going to school,and they have no brains but believe in the liberal "be all fuzzy and nice" mantra which will cost them their lives or to be battered and maimed!
Thats insanity most of them the ambassadors will be teenage kids and young and dumb 20 somethings, wait until the first 1 gets killed or maimed, reminds me of the line from the songs the boys are back "the blood will flow if the boys want to fight you better let them" that is what the thugs will be doing to "the children" on patrol!
Hmm hey rahm?brucie? look over here:
More California cities looking to reject state's sanctuary law
More towns and cities in California are exploring options to follow Los Alamitos in rejecting the state’s sanctuary law.
Members of the Los Alamitos Council voted Monday to opt out of a state law that limits cooperation between local police and federal immigration agents.
"Tiny Los Alamitos has kicked open the door," state Assemblyman Travis Allen told the Orange County Register, "and now other cities across California are looking to get on board and stand up against the illegal sanctuary state.”
The law, signed by Gov. Jerry Brown last year and in effect since Jan. 1, includes prohibiting state and local police agencies from informing federal authorities in cases when illegal immigrants facing deportation are released from detention.
Los Alamitos’ adopted ordinance claims the new state law “may be in direct conflict with federal laws and the Constitution.”
*There you go more and more see the criminal enterprises growing by letting the illegal invaders in! Here rahm though along with anna the appointed friend of rahm who is appointed city clerk to help rahm get the hispanic vote, that illegal ID card roll-out costing taxpayers millions and giving away millions what a great idea! Think what an election ploy rahm and anna are going to be sure this fake id is legal for voting,they will do anything to get an illegal vote and stay in power taxpayers,honest citizens who obey the laws be damned!
Well they are deterred by a couple of well placed 9mm rounds.

LOL. The women who followed Hookers army were the origin of the term "hooker" for prostitute.
If it doesn't work they will probably try something else. The problem is that having more cops in that area makes it look like it is a high crime area and that drives away the people who come to spend their money.
A majority of the average citizens out there just don't get a warm fuzzy feeling when they see a cop. Using police primarily as revenue enhancers and to control behaviour that does not harm anyone has not made police any friends.
Soon this will be a requirement of PPO’s while in the academy. To work on the street like this to learn proper community interactions.
I can’t wait to retire and leave this dump ass city...

You think it’s the crime and bloodshed? Maybe a little, but how about being fined, taxed and taxed again?! Property taxes, added fees for garbage pickup, pop taxes, water bottle taxes, failed soda tax, red light/speed cams, city stickers, CPS raising their taxes to the maximum every chance they get, raised water rates, high city and county sales taxes, cell phone tax increase, cable tv tax, 911 tax increases...and that’s just off the top of my head. And what does all of that tax get you?!!! Diminished services, undermanned police protection, nanny state politicians trying to rule every aspect of your life...
The likelihood of being a crime victim are low. The likelihood of paying high taxes/fees is a given.
Hopefully they have sense enough to arm themselves or refuse the assignment. I'm thinking of Bear Spray at the very least. Cabela's carries it.
"Oh boy oh boy, this is a pickle george"
We still have the Guardian Angels !!!
Only lessons learned by cook county criminals—when someone beats that ass. You can arrest, arrest, arrest— only when someone has had enough and sucker punches asshole. Only then will they not do that again... I am speaking from joe citizen point of view. Before I became a cop, I got my ass handed to me a few times. And it made me humble😑
Well you nailed it SCC. Cops can work day and night putting bad guys in jail, but when judges, politicians and a zit calling himself a Sheriff, keeps turning them loose, what's the point?

Man, I remember those. When someone blew one, it was treated as an in-progress job, "Units, we have whistles blowing on the street, 53 and Kenwood."
I remember a U of C guy shot dude one night and these Hyde Parkers surrounded the copper blowing their whistles, "To get help for the officer." News flash, he has a radio and he don't need any help, he popped dude already.
Hahaha wicker park millenial hipsters. Yes please. I truly want to see this. A bunch of unarmed wanna be social justic warrior hipsters who are transplants from other small towns, cities and suburbs who think they really know chicago but really don’t know anything. They move here from a white suburb or small town in Ohio and all of a sudden they are “mr or ms Chicago” know it all. They over compensate and try so har to “fit in” and be “Tom” here that they live in Pilsen, Bridgeport or humbolt Park just so they can say they live in “real Chicago” and so they can go back to their small hometowns and try to wow everybody by saying that they sometimes hear gunshots where they live.. in all reality though they have to live in the ghetto because their real jobs as working in a stupid storefront art studio, musician, barista, waiter/waitress, bartender at some hip low key wicker park bar or pedi cab job just isn’t cutting it. But they are super cool and totally down with Chicago. I can’t wait until one of these idiot hipster small town transplants tries to step on and gets pistol whipped And laughed a by these animals. I am actually encouraging the people I stop in 002 who prey on those in 012 and 014 to take care of business.
"Only lessons learned by cook county criminals—when someone beats that ass. You can arrest, arrest, arrest— only when someone has had enough and sucker punches asshole. "
True enough. Predators (yes that's what they are) understand one thing: strength. They prey on the weak, the young, the elderly, the unaware person playing with their latest electronic toy. Keep your wits about you in the city. If you're with a group, try not to get separated. Pack heat if you can do so legally, otherwise carry pepper spray or a blade. FOID holders can carry automatic knives now. Don't be the soft target. Walk with a purpose. If you're lost, don't act it. If you're afraid, don't act it.
“got a chuckle out of the story... Actually chocked up a little drinking my coffee. I can only imagine a starsucks employee roaming the streets in his skinny jeans trying to prevent a crime. He might have CNN on speed dial.”
Coming from a former skinny jeans wearing barista who’s now a urban crusader out to make a difference. That’s the real laffer.

That’s a good one.That could also describe 90% of the current makeup of those hired by the CPD in the last 15 years.
If these businesses want to have their own private security and willing to pay, so what. These "security guards" can't be much worse than some of the new PPO's I've been seeing. Granted, it does make the CPD look bad but we have plenty of morons on this God forsaken job. that already do that.
Bring back now Lt. G. And his shorts. Problem solved. No need for any help.
