Peace March? Peace March??
- 'This was a peace event. Somehow it went haywire': 3 shot, 1 beaten near Seward Park on Near North Side
We were amazed. And horrified. How could such a thing happen
- Three men were shot and a fourth was beaten up during what witnesses said was a peace picnic at the Near North Side’s Seward Park on Saturday evening.
The triple shooting happened shortly after 6 p.m. in the 300 block of West Division Street during what a witness described as a back-to-school “peace picnic.’’
One to three gunmen between the ages of 15 to 20 opened fire at a group as they stood outside, hitting three men — 28, 43 and 54, police said.
And as usual, the "community" is in shock:
- “They started shooting, baby,’’ said a woman, who did not want her name used. “At a picnic. With kids here!”
It's truly another one of those mysteries.

You can have 250,000 people at the Lakefront without any issues, but you get 100 people together for a “peace event” in the community and three people end up getting shot up...
I have fond memories of picnics when I was a kid. Somehow, I must have missed the shootings and stuff during my trip to the outhouse.
Make sure you don’t include the Water Tower Place in a background shot of the crime scene...
Well I'm shocked too. Somehow, some way, it happened.
Even tho we called it a night peace picnic.
Yes... truly a mysterious mystery.
What could cause such mayhem... day in... day out... as if it was a naturally occurring event.
Like the sunrise or low tide... it just happens.
What indeed??
They'll blame the police.
Well, isn't that special? It's official. The neighborhood is SHOT (no pun intended) and unless the video's off the camera's are released on EVERY SINGLE news station, nothing is going to be done. When did shoving shit under the rug ever delete the smell???
The north side or northwest is anything north of foster and west Cicero. Other than that’s just call it ghetto
But we can't mention that these kids (Offenders with no description) are raised with no morals. Thats wrong to say I guess.
OT- For what it’s worth this was my comment on the consent decree; While I think it is always good to look at how you do things and most of the time you should be able to find a better way I call this one sided reform. All we hear is how the police need to reform, not one time have I heard any politician, activist, or the news media tell the community that they need to start acting more civilly towards the police. So by being silent and only telling the police that they need deal with the community better all this concent decree is doing is telling the community to keep acting the same way you have been and the police will have to do things differently. Take for example the police involved shooting on 71st St. the video CLEARLY shows the police actions were appropriate and justified, yet the community still protests, the community still blames the police, and the community HAS NOT been told that the offender was wrong by ANYONE. So this is why I call it one sided reform and unless the community is called out when they are wrong,and that there are laws to be followed, this reform movement will NEVER work.
I didnt see any picnic baskets at a picnic?
May be they should stick to those back to school give aways.
Maybe this wouldn’t have happened if they obtained a “Sanctuary City Peace Picnic Permit” from the park district.
Waiting to hear what the most reverend father of the feral folks has to say.
Can Eric Holder please have the discussion yet.
Maybe combine boxing with midnight basketball?

HEADS UP!
Speaking of "picnics", intelligence suggests a "Back To School Freaknic" on 01 September to commemorate the 20 year anniversary of the first/last one the savages had.
Schiller Woods is again rumored as the primary location (with or without permits), while Beaubien in 005 is also being considered as an alternate or additional location.
You hard chargers are absolutely gonna love this thing if it actually materializes. It was a shitshow of epic proportions 20 years ago, can't wait to hear how it turns out in today's "Fuck the Police" climate. You pups can Google the original or ask one of the salty vets that were OTJ for details.
Obviously someone was confused.
Was it a "Peace march" or a "Piece march"?
Who cares anymore , how many of theses hangers kill each other. The black communities fail to take any responsibilities do the way they raise their children. They want to put the blame on schools education jobs police white people everybody else but themselves.
Must not have been a crowd of ten or more? Otherwise an officer would have been assigned there. Now if the air is clear, pull my finger...
Any description of the perpetrators?
I am Shocked, Shocked to find out that shooting went on at a peace march.
Captain Renault
Seen that another Englewoods Mass Shooting that included a 3 yr olt hasn’t sparked any community outcry either.
No media pickup or a Rahm tearjerk presser with the Lo NRG RevDrSpecial Ed PhD at this side.
Oh...it’s the weekend retreat at Camp Sodomy.
Monday-Monday...can’t trust that day.
What will be on the Jugghaid Special Ed Strategy Platter this week?
“POLEECE FAULT! Why weren’t y’all protectin us an shit! Y’all act like y’all don’t even care!”
I guess we don’t care anymore. You bitch and moan when we are there and do the job and you bitch and moan when we go hands off. You people (or folks) are now on your own. Enjoy the carnage you were so eager to help create.
Peace in da hood = Piece in da hood. Bang... you're dead!
There have been 3 shootings in the last 2 weeks over there. There was a drive by in Old Town in front of Million dollar houses last week. Those people are paying $25,000 a year in taxes and getting low income shoved up their asses. If anyone should be marching it's the tax mules.
Those damn police are up to their hijinks again.
Ahh! Macabre memories of Cabrini-Green. Now the realtors call it Old Town.
Those folks don’t want peace. Bring peace and you’re the racist.
Fuck all of them.
Tired of you guys wasting our tax money on those idiots.
It went wrong because Police were not there. Any big crowd should have Police assigned to it. It only makes sense. There isn’t enough Police.
Talk to Rahm and Ed about why there isn’t enough Police. The city went to crap. Who doesn’t want to move.
Moments before the shooting, the ACLU was on the scene making sure the gunmans' rights were secured.
The shooting victim's civil liberty to enjoy a picnic were not and never will be represented.
By Communitie Standards: It was quite peaceful. Only 3 people got shot.
Usually it's a lot more. So they're making progress.
These things take time. Ya'll be patient and stop being so mean to us!
Cabrini Row Houses VS Marshall Field Garden Apts, Section 8 is Great, Are you there Alderman Arena...
Peace march wents to pieces, in a muzzle flash of time
So ironic, so iconic, so, so very much sublime
Next there comes the wailings
Fingers pointed at the failings
Not of those who bear no guilt
But to any handy dandy
Just not never to the mother fuckers who be doin' this shit....
Its the poleeeeeces fault!!!!!
Rahm and Ed are clueless on how to handle the violence. So much for putting more Police in the bad areas. We don’t have the manpower to put out as many police as are needed to stop the violence. Everyone’s property values are going lower each day the violence and high taxes are in affect. In there is nothing you can do. The problem is city wide. The city elected officials are a failure. The leadership appointed to run the various departments are clueless. Look at the Police Department and School system. The only option the average guy has is to move.
009 was in a RAP again with no cars for Assignments. I’m sure everyone else was shot cars too!
The city is so fucked. With no turn around in sight. Killings and shootings every day. Detroit here comes Chicago. Chicago is a shit-hole.
It is going to take more than a peace march it fix things. First the racist Superintendent has to go. Second we need all new elected politicians. All that is going to happen. So welcome to Chicago!
The only option for a peaceful march is to march far from Chicago. Chicago goes with violence. Lots of money is be make by it. Rahm and other DemocRATS are getting rich by the way things are going. The DemocRATS are doing more damage to the black community than any of the hate groups.
I see no signs of it stopping.
Rahm is toast! The parents of the 450 kids at Immaculate Conception-St. Joseph school, $9800 per year for tuition, will tell all their friends AND the parents at St. Clements, St. Alphonsus, St. Josaphat, St Andrews, St. Benedicts and Sacred Heart schools. The Lakefront is tirning against the little fascist.
how dare any white politicians talk about lack of parenting and a lack of morals, ethics, and values in the black community.

You have to give peace a chance. Rome wasn't built in a day the West wasn't tamed overnight.
Radio is going crazy today!!!!!!!
You don't the police around doing their job so this is what you get. Decent Black folks have let conniving greedy Liberal Democrat politicians neutralize their police dept. Cops now look the other way and take their time because they don't want to get fired or go to jail for doing police work. Only thing these same politicians want is your vote on Election Day so they can continue to steal all they can and stay in power. Want someone to blame for all the carnage...YOUR LIBERAL DEMOCRAT PROGRESSIVE SOCIALIST POLITICIANS!!!!!!!!!
Good luck!
So much for peace. Cant we all just get along?
A shit, I do not give.
this is the hell they created for them selves.
there is no effen reason to intervene in their lives.
just pick up the carcasses before they stink too badly.
Please advice all officers!!. COPA is calling officers on their phones asking them questions about the officers using profanities when copa ramdnonly review videos of body cameras. they claim themselves to be the complainant and they are hunting coppers. “ZERO ACTIVITY” is the way to go now since copa want to harass the officers who often use body cameras. So, The less interaction you have with the public = the less times you have to use the body camera = the less chances you have to be investigated by copa. “Give them the city that they want”.
So bad So sad..let me put on my shocked face. Whats the matter..fr phoney wasn't there? Why wasn't his followers protesting?
Was just driving by the 10th District taking Ogden Avenue home from the air and water show with the family because the expressway was exceptionally crowded due to all the people going home. Got to Ogden Avenue and Kedzie police cars closing off Kedzie Avenue from Kedzie to Past Police District due to the fact To have a bunch of the animals pieces of shit in the middle of the street I guess the 10th District like the rest has a cowardly week So called Commander another member of the clown club making a huge salary and being scared another one and need to resign!
Eddie you in the mayor and the rest of the Democrats have created this monster allowing these criminals to block our streets commandeer our expressways I guess the good people mean nothing to you! Oh and by the way you might tell that week scared cowardly commander that when you drive-by Douglas Park so many violations of the Illinois vehicle code people parking everywhere and bus stops every other place Gia nobody’s getting any tickets! Looks like your police officers are scared and cowardly as you are boss! It is no wonder that the command staff Is being left at not buy just the officers of the Chicago Police Department but by officers in the entire country!
But wait it was a peace party. Guess someone didn't get the word.
So much for a safe passage to school. LOL only in Chicago. You couldn't make this stuff up.
Are they marching to close Division st? Didn't think so.
Three young men between 15-20
I remember when I used to go to family picnics. We never felt the need to call them peace picnics. I wonder why that is. We also didn't bring guns and start shooting people though. Oh, and none of us were felons or gang members. I guess we had different priorities and values than certain communities.
With todays political climate, one is not supposed to point out the obvious.
Let the Bodies hit the Floor
The tribune editorial board should do an option article - mission accomplished - 32 days with a police related death. The police are doing a great job using this measure of efficiency and effectiveness.
They should have made it gun free zone. Maybe post a sign!
Let them keep on shooting each other just write the paper easy
Why would anyone want to live in this city? I’m packing the family up and moving somewhere safer. Here we come Gary, Indiana..
Off topic. Hey guys look on you tube under martin g johnson. The guy is outing your bait truck stings lock him up for obstruction.
Im a retired jerset cop giving you a heads up. Thanks
You can’t help someone who won’t help themselves. I’m getting ready for retirement and can honestly say that not much has changed within the south & west sides of the city. Soon I will be in a new time zone with my family. Good luck & stay safe!

Unfortunately replies like these will be summarily deleted. They want to hear factual arguments why or why not a specific section should or shouldn’t be included in the consent decree. They don’t want to hear your opinion for or against it.
#not my neighborhood. Just wait it will soon be. They are on the move, CTA, Divvy and carjacking makes them very mobile. The self cleaning oven is soon to be playing on a street near you. Face it the community has gotten smarter, the McDonald riots will not be the community burning it will be Mag Mile and NW Chicago. They will be spreading the pain all around city. Better stores to loot in your neighborhoods, better cars to jack and people wry real money walking the streets. Police will be guarding their home turf whole they plunder yours. Fair warning get out now or prepare to defend yourself and your neighborhood. A Purge is coming. Real life imitating the movies.
Chicago Community Values on full display. What say you Rahm?

You havent figured this out yet, have you?
This is not about reform. They, never wanted reform. All they want is to do what they want, when they want without being stopped by police( aka, "the man")
They dont want to obey laws, only their street law.
Only their rules.
Only their way.
Follow me yet?
Looks like close to 60 shot this weekend but only a few DOA. Too bad. But Fat Head Ed will say crime is sown again because fewer killed. Come on 60 or more shot is a good thing? Just bad marksmanship keeps the KIA down. Need to have grammar school shooting classes. At least give the community one valuable job skill.
Good thing it was a peace picnic otherwise the body count may have been staggering.

This is still the norm in most of America. It's the 13% of the US population who commit 85% of the violence who still haven't gotten it.

All fine and good until somebody gets "bridged"
playing "bassetbaw" or somebody gets pissed because
somebody else threw a lucky donut through their guard
and caught that jaw in the midst of jackin'...
"Ha-ha! you cain't box worth a shit..."
>POW!<
Hurt feelings and there goes another one
running off to get a raggedy-assed strap
lubed with cooking grease to shoot up yet
another "communerty activity venue."
Look.
Point & Laugh.
Leave.
Stop.
Reverse.
Point & Laugh More.
Leave Again.
At the last freaknic, the Melrose Park Poleec Chief was all swinging a night stick like there was no tomorrow. I think they even had a fire engine hose em down. Great fun.
apparently some different types of pieces showed up with weapons.
Angry kids , no love
Right near the Police Station too they aren't afraid of the Police anymore know we have our hands tied!
Hey, living in Chicago is no picnic.😳
And not a single person knew who the bad offenders were??? not surprising at all. They ask for name and l there!!!!star numbers of all police... but cannot see or point out Any offender. They should move to Evanston!!!!!! its safe and beautiful there.
This is nothing new for Seward Park, while in gangs we got sent there a few times because of their sporting events where they had a lack of self control. We had to baby sit. Worked that area even before the high rise projects were torned down. Now the last time I worked there all the row houses were being rehabbed after the savages destroyed them only to be destroyed again. I wonder how the yuppies who bought in to that area thinking this will be a great area are still neighbors with the thugs.
4:33pm how in hell is COPA getting your phone numbers? You know you don't have to speak to them. Tell them you are busy now and ask them for their home phones so you can call them back later.
Maybe Chicago should not be as welcoming for all. It should become gang free and criminal free zone. Kick them all out, incarcerate them all forever. Maybe that would make a difference. Also anyone that supports criminals and gangs must go too. Bye bye Rahm! Bye Mr fenner, bye Kim fox, bye prewinkle, bye dart, bye blm, bye bye judge evans and ur criminal supporting crew, bye bye CPD command staff! And welcome to utopia!
...... taking Ogden Avenue home from the air and water show with the family.............
WTF were you thinking?
Take any videos of the shitshow?
I didn't think so

Fuck it the game is over just write a report easy money don't do shit

They have access to the Clear system's personnel suite. And they're also getting CRs when they run across a disconnected number, a wrong number, or anytime they find a number that isn't current.
You guys have it wrong. It wasn't a "peace picnic" it was a "piece picnic" so grab your piece and come on down.

How can COPA be the complainant? If you can collect any kind of pension benefit retire now!
This shooting couldn’t have really happened because it’s against the law to have guns at any Chicago Park. Even with a concealed carry license you can’t carry in Chicago parks so the story must be fake news.
Police in 18 made arrests in this case but Kim Foxx wouldn’t press charges and the suspects were released. Shooters over at Marshall Fields Garden Apartments free as a clam, and free to shoot another day. That’s what Im hearing.
