Stories That Fell Through the Cracks

A couple of things that give the impression that Rahm is in electoral trouble:
  • CPS Sex Scandal - Won't someone think of the children?
    • Earlier this year, when investigative reporters at the Tribune began gathering information about sexual assault and abuse within Chicago Public Schools, they hit a cement wall. CPS stalled requests for public records for months and relented only when the Tribune threatened to sue.

      By then, reporters Gary Marx, David Jackson, Jennifer Smith Richards and Juan Perez Jr. had pieced together — through police reports, court files, state records and interviews — an alarming revelation. Police investigated 523 reports that children were sexually assaulted or abused inside city public schools from 2008 to 2017, or an average of one report each week.
If there was a sex assault every week in Englewood, you can bet there would be heads rolling, command changes imminent and a massive push to solve the crime. CPS students though? Almost nothing.
  • Willie Wilson fires back at Lisa:
    • Responding to what his mayoral campaign called an investigation by Attorney General Lisa Madigan, a defiant Willie Wilson on Thursday defended his recent cash giveaways and said there’s “nothing wrong” with his charitable foundation’s paperwork.

      Speaking at the Chicago Baptist Institute International alongside supporters, the mayoral candidate also called on Madigan to investigate Mayor Rahm Emanuel over the Laquan McDonald shooting and said Emanuel talked down to black Chicagoans in response to the recent crime wave.

      Noting he was raised in the Jim Crow South, Wilson, who is black, said, “I’m just tired of white people telling me what to do.”
Wilson is taking a shot directly at the Illinois Combine with that line. And he's probably the only one who could get away with it.
  • Rahm is victim shaming?
    • Mayor Rahm Emanuel was accused Wednesday of “victim shaming” for citing an absence of “values” and “character” in the African-American community after the weekend bloodbath in which 71 people were shot, 12 of them fatally.

      Shari Runner, until recently the president and CEO of the Chicago Urban League, said the mayor’s blame game is offensive and insensitive. “I cannot see the victims of racist policies and bigoted practices shamed by anyone who says they need to do better or be better in their circumstance. I won’t accept it,” Runner said.

      “Scolding the African-American community for the ills of what’s happening in those communities is not only not helpful. It’s not correct. There’s no more religious, conservative, amazing community than the African-American community. The African-American community is resilient. The African-American community survived this strife. … It is not fair to blame the victims of policies that have created their circumstance.”
Can you tell us on this anatomically correct doll exactly where the truth hurt you? Always the "victim" and always someone else's fault.

Can’t be Rham🐀🐀🐀... there are in some cases 4 churches per block—Austin area of north avenue is a prime example (a bbq shack, liquor sto, and a chicken joint on the same block as well... The wholey ghosts is in dem neighborhoods. But yup, Rham I know you are just yappin for the journalists. If you can recall the kid who wore blue jeans and no kippah to temple back in the 1990s — that’s was me. I remember when you slithered all the to Washington DC for clinton in those days

Religious and conservative sou ds republican to me. Yet the black community consistently votes these liberal left wing crooks into office then complains about them. The definition of insanity. If the black community actually started voting and supporting conservative values it may just do them some good. Its actually shocking how staunchly they support the very people who put their foot on black peoples necks.

Let’s play the game “Is it racist?” Well since ole Willie said it, I guess not, but if a white person said they were sick of black people telling them what to do, holy shit the heads would roll. Anytime people (or folks) say something white this, white that, take the word white, change it to black and think about if whitey said it. Then just sit back, laugh and enjoy the double standard.

Rahm needs to go. He is toxic to this city.

I like Wilson because he has pointed out something that rings true. Why investigate him and not Pat Quinn??

Quinn threw out a LOT of taxpayer money (not his own) in an effort to "fight crime" (read "get votes") by passing it around to a lot of groups before his re-election. That was OVER $40 MILLION.

There was not a word raised about the impropriety of that. So what is the beef with Wilson handing out his own money??

Rahm shaming? - Well there was a large contingent of that “religious, conservative, amazing African American community” in 018 tonite creating total havoc at Water Tower, on Lake Shore Drive, Michigan Avenue and on the beaches. The parents of these honor roll students must be so proud that the values of their community is so deeply engraved in their little minds. Fighting, stealing, disrupting business, scaring tourists and residents alike by throwing fireworks at them. We really need to find what conservative church teaches these amazing things in the African American Community so we can give them a key to the city! Oh wait, they already have one thanks to Rahm and Eddie.

The forever problem that keeps on giving or is it getting....It's just too hard to tell! It's never the people & folks fault! No one should ever be able to tell the people & folks what to do or how to act! That's what gun's are for, they establish the rules of the concrete jungle! Kill or be killed, that is the rule that the people & folks understand & obey! Every corner you look at and you see a church! Just what is it they are preaching? Must be an eye for an eye!! I know for sure it isn't love thy neighbor, but maybe neighbor's wife.

I find this very strange. After sex abuse revelations about USA volleyball and gymnastics, after scandals at Penn State, Michigan State and lets not forget the Chicago Catholic church and code of silence Flaky there were dozens if not hundreds of lawsuits. Yet in Chicago, silence. Has Rahm bought off all the parents?

******************************************

The problem I see here is that this person is talking about the black people who go to work every day, who pay taxes, who attend church regularly, and who support the police. There are so many who do all those things and are still prisoners in their home because of the drug dealing, gang banging, murderous few that want to break the law.

Don't give those who commit these atrocities a free pass because of the color of their skin. A criminal is a criminal. Their circumstances are nobodies fault but their own. It's so easy to blame everyone else for your problems instead of looking in the mirror. Black America wants police accountability, the police want accountability in the 'hood. Black Lives Matter only cares about the rare police shooting, but doesn't give a shit about the shootings that occur everyday in the 'hood. A police shooting occurs and BLM is all over it. 74 people get shot and 12 people killed in three days and BLM DIDN'T SAY SHIT!!!! BLM, put your house in order before you blame the police for your problems. I tell you this because the decent, hard working, tax paying, God fearing, and law abiding black citizens of this country need your help. Don't protect the criminals, protect the ones who do it right everyday.

The Black communities always putting the blame for the murders of BLACK ON BLACK. Funny thing is none of the community wants to cooperate or give information to the police I don't have to give their names they can give tips of who it was gun doing shootings and everything else but no they want to blame everybody but themselves. It's their responsibility this is how they raise their children no one to blame but themselves.

Wow kids sexually abused as rahm would say "what about the children?" well what about them rahm? No one has been terminated from that sex parlor CPS hierarchy, you and the 50 followers along with any groups have had an uprising strange right? Rahm while your children like your wife and yourself have a taxpayer paid security contingent comprised of how many armed CPD officers getting pay rates that are in the stratosphere while all being patrolmen? How many Suburbans and Tahoe's the gas hogs are carting you and friends and families asses everywhere fully protecting you and family?

What has happened in the schools calls for a federal investigation,into you mayor the other elected for allowing the civil rights of "our kids" to be violated,and you and you minions covering this up for how many years? If this was exposed earlier how many "children" would of not been scared for life? How many? Just another disgraceful,pathetic act by the democrats here,that includes kimmy who could of gotten involved,and toni,all the rest of "we don't care about the children" crew but pander to the thugs and illegal invaders using billions in tax money!

Didn’t that community spokesman (of KenyaHawaiian influences) fix all the problems before they’all exited right quick?
Unaffected would be nice, but now it’s way out of control... the crime, conditions and values.
What’s the value of a 3 a.m. any day of the week bloque party?
What’s the value of a 2-10 yr old out on on school night getting shot?
What the value of drinking and yor’nating where you stay?
Privileged Urbane League up and ups sure feel the pain, don’t they.

As for Willie vs. Madigroin, welcome to opposition politics. You’re the first of all the minority candidates to be targeted (likely the only). That’s what happens when your get over 50,000 votes in the last mayoral primary in 2015.
What worked before doesn’t anymore.
Mousie Madigroin is scurrying about on 9th hour for a legacy.
Also suing Trump International for river water use that may or may not be trapping and killing fish in the polluted Chicago River.
Folks gotta eat and Donald J. Trump is killing the food chain.

100% agree, it’s in their culture so any changes have to come from them but instead we cater to them with this bullshit consent decree and give them further belief that their way is ok and it’s the police who have to change to adapt to their culture instead of the other way around.

Yep blacks be voting democrat by 95%— shit... Saddam Hussein did not meet those voting margins; and his people were voting at gun point. You can look it up. I doubt it if leaders of communist country back in the day seen those margins in votes. Democrats prolly learned how to get votes by depriving other means— such as no obama phones, no pizza parties while in jail, no cases dismissed, no ghetto lottery, or get locked up for picking up chicks on 75th and Halsted

+++++ Shari Runner: “Scolding the African-American community for the ills of what’s happening in those communities is not only not helpful. It’s not correct. There’s no more religious, conservative, amazing community than the African-American community. ~~~snip~~~ It is not fair to blame the victims of policies that have created their circumstance.” +++++

Well I'll be damned! Shari Runner seems to be confirming what I posited a couple days ago about who's committing all the carnage in 'the community', to wit; It's not the residents, noooooo, they're God-fearing law-abiding citizens with strong family values who climb into the Station Wagon on Sunday morning and dear old dad drives them all to church for 9:00 o'clock mass.

But it's Space Aliens who are teleporting into Da Hood, shooting at anything that moves, then teleporting back into outer space, laughing all the way as the poor Blacks take the blame once again for something 'else' that's not their fault.

I'm glad Shari Runner cleared this up.

"...There’s no more religious, conservative, amazing community...." Um, has she heard of Salt Lake City, UT and the Mormons??? Not a lot of shootings, stabbings, drive-bys, prostitution or drugs there. People actually walk down the streets at 11 at night without worrying about what will happen to them.

And of course, there's the Amish communities in northern Indiana. Ditto for the number of violent crimes committed there....

Or pretty much any town that has more churches than it does bodegas, lottery ticket sellers, liquor stores, hair and nail salons.........

Were these people's backgrounds not checked? Why do they need to get fingerprinted again? What happened to the money supposedly spent on the original background checks?

For all his flaws, and there are many, I think Rahm is dead-on with this comment in the article:

“This may not be politically correct, but I know the power of what faith and family can do. … Our kids need that structure. … I am asking … that we also don’t shy away from a full discussion about the importance of family and faith helping to develop and nurture character, self respect, a value system and a moral compass that allows kids to know good from bad and right from wrong,” the mayor said.
