A Fool and His Money....

  • Up to 10,000 pairs of free shoes will be given away in Chicago's Englewood neighborhood this weekend in an "Anti-Bait Truck" event.

    Rapper Vic Mensa organized the shoe giveaway in response to an operation conducted by the Norfolk Southern Railway earlier this month. Chicago police worked with the train company on the undercover sting, where "bait trucks" full of valuable shoes were used to arrest suspected thieves in Englewood.

    Three men were arrested for taking some of the shoes, but those charges were later dropped.

    Cell phone video of the covert sting was viewed more than half a million times. South Side activists said the action deepened the divide between police and residents.
So south side "activists" assume that everyone in Englewood is a thief - that's some low expectations right there.

This is an amazingly dumb paragraph though:
  • Vic Mensa and Chance the Rapper blasted the operation, saying it exploited people in need.
Seriously? "People in need"? These were burglars, not members of the community wandering around barefooted. Special Ed and Rahm truly screwed the pooch on this one, letting these idiots dictate the terms of enforcing the law via accepted and legal means.

Jefferson Park residents are complaining about wheel theft and catalytic converter theft.
They're demanding sting operations, to protect their property.
Ironic, no?

We on the northwest side have feet too that need shoes. We are left out of all the giveaways in other parts of the city. I call RACISM. What do we want? SHOES! When do we want them? NOW! And if we don't get them? NO SHOES, YOU LOSE! And don't sent no stinkin gym shoes. We want dress shoes. We demand it.

Fat Head ed and Tiny Dancer approved this. Charges dropped, and not arresting on the highways. Pandering to the community without spending a dime. Blame the rail road Police. Blame Bruce. Blame the Cubs, scratch that. 2/3 They consider it a win.

The rappers will use it, the community will remember, 9 digit midget and kidney bean did them a solid, JOE!


FOLLOW THE MONEY!!! Where are the shoes coming from? A stolen Nike truck?

Never will you see whites with this logic. A burglar is a burglar-doesn’t matter the race-and they are considered a criminal predator. Blacks in the ghetto don’t seem to share that opinion. Hell, did you ever hear of anyone believe that Gacy was set up? Of course not, but there are many in the community that genuinely believe the murders that serial killer Wayne Williams was convicted of were actually committed by the Klan, and that Wayne was framed by a racist police department.

Wonder if police-hating Mensa will beg for police protection at this giveaway. The department would be beyond stupid to indulge this guy. Since his people are not criminals. Police shouldn't be there.

In a week or 2, check on those needy people or folks who get some of those free shoes. I bet some of them wont have the shoes anymore because they were sold for traded.

If that bait truck was entrapment just because it was outside and locked, then using that logic, if your caught stealing a car off the street it’s entrapment, if you steal a Divvy bike it’s entrapment, if you snatch a cell phone out of my hand it’s entrapment. Where does it end?

Just because someone trespasses, cuts a lock, climbs into a shipping container that doesn't belong to them and takes good that don't belong to them, doesn't make them a thief, if they're a certain demographic.

I have to start looking for the location or locations of the give away. Everyone on the job, active or retired, should go and get a new pair of kicks.

They don't get a job because they aren't qualified to do anything that pays above minimum wage and will give them full-time work. Most of them fucked off in school and figured that education was for Rich White People and that they could never afford college anyway. Now they're in their late teens or 20s and have no education and no experience doing anything but thugging, panhandling, and/or demanding free social services because they're poor.

All these protests, I keep hearing "We want jobs and we want business to invest in our neighborhoods." Okay, at least it's not "just give me free money and rent, etc.," but still, what sort of jobs can they get, or keep? The unskilled factory jobs have mostly gone overseas. Working at McDonald's or Wal-mart won't provide you with a livable income, even if you're just paying for you (and generally, if they're over 15, they've got at least one illegitimate kid).

And why would businesses invest in their communities? There's no money there. It's so dangerous that most people wouldn't want to work at any job in those ghetto slums. Not to mention they're more susceptible to employee theft, robbery, burglary, etc. I read an article about six months ago about how Kroger is closing down several large grocery stores in ghetto neighborhoods in Memphis because it's costing them millions of dollars a year in employee theft and shoplifting.

Only the naive and the foolish can expect this community event to happen without full "Chicago Values" on display.
It may start in an orderly fashion, then devolve into something akin to the last 50lb sacks of UNICEF rice being thrown off the back of the truck.
It will turn violent, shots will be fired, the oven cant help but go into self cleaning mode when free shit is at stake.
DO NOT involve yourself. Make sure you and others in uniform who are forced to "monitor" this shitshow are safe. DO NOT intervene, merely stand witness to the behavior that occurs when criminality is not only ignored but sanctioned by your elected officials.

My grandparents came to the states with barely a pot to piss in. From the early 1900's right through the Depression, they and everyone they knew, were "in need". You know what they did? They went out and took a JOB, any job, sometimes multiple jobs, to make ends meet. They didn't rob anyone, they didn't take things that weren't theirs because they had some pride in themselves. What's the "communerty's" and folks' excuse?

We’ll have to wait until next week before “I won’t be out done Rahm2019” to see what city funded freebies the taxpayers contribute to the underserved.

"Vic"tor "Mensa"h, dad is a PHD at UIC. Mom is European and also a professional. He grew up in a luxury townhouse in Hyde Park and went to Whitney Young. He says he hasn't lived in Hyde Park in 5 years. He lives in Los Angeles. Stay out there. He sounds like a white guy in interviews, but puts on an act in his music. His profile is a total lie. To boost his cred he got a felony weapons charge for carrying a concealed loaded gun in LA. He never stepped foot in a bad Chicago neighborhood. He's a clown, a bought and paid for puppet that will do and say anything the record label tells him

"Vic Mensa" grew up in a rich family, his dad is a PHD. He lives in LA now for the past 5 years. When in Chicago he never stepped out of Hyde Park, he left Chicago at 20 y.o. He claims to have been a bad kid getting arrested, I doubt that. He speaks very proper english outside of rap. He's a fraud. Exploiting poor ppl of Chicago for personal profit, disgusting
