Attempt Murder Charge (UPDATE)

  • A 38-year-old man recently paroled on a weapons conviction was ordered held without bail Thursday after being charged with attempted murder in connection with an election-night shootout with police in South Shore. 
Wait. A parolee? For a weapon's conviction? We didn't think that those types were allowed to own guns. Did something change? Or once again, did the Law fail to stop someone determined to break it?
  • Flamingo Jones has been charged with attempted first-degree murder of a police officer. He appeared in court in the Leighton Criminal Court Building in a wheelchair, wearing hospital scrubs.
Wait. Flamingo? Seriously - Flamingo? HAHAHAHAHA!
  • An officer caught up to Jones on foot, saw him holding a gun and ordered him to drop it, Santini said; instead, Jones fled through a gangway. When Jones jumped over a fence while still holding the gun, the officer chasing him “feared for his life” and fired, but did not strike him, Santini said.

    The officer later saw Jones emerge from a gangway onto Bennett Avenue, still holding the gun, Santini said.

    Jones raised the gun toward the officer and the officer fired at Jones again, Santini said. Jones fell, fired at the plainclothes officer, then at uniformed officers arriving at the scene, Santini said. Those officers fired back; Jones, shot in his feet, was taken into custody, Santini said. A gun was found nearby.
Wait. Shot in the feet? Well, he's going to have a lot of practice living up to his name standing on one leg, switching back and forth. No bail either, which is a nice change.

Nice shooting officers.

UPDATE: Somebody in the comment section said that we're mispronouncing his name:
  • I think it’s pronounced "Flamin’ go."
We apologize for any confusion.

Perhaps Prikwinkle and Fart know CPD doesnt want to work anymore, so in order to keep the ASA'S with a job, he released criminals KNOWING they would be back soon enough, since these scumbags dont know what law abiding means. Its a win win for the Tinkle, Fart and ASA"S. The release made them look good and now that the assholes are getting locked up again, ASA'a and judges are finally doing whats right! Who are the jagoffs going to blame now for their incarceration...Burge? Good job officers and everyone stay safe out there.

I thought it was hysterical when I arrested somebody named PEBBLES. SCC, you should ask your readers for the funniest names of the people they've locked up. It'd make for a good read, I'm sure. Flamingo. As a retired resident of Florida now, I find that TRULY insulting to the real Flamingos. Well, I guess there's a bad bird in every flock...which explains why he was exiled to the freezing north! Too. Damn. Funny SCC.

Maybe his feet were shot mid-air like when the road runner runs, or maybe that's a new police technique, like shooting out tires.

Was GMAc the only candidate to call out criminal prosecution, albeit mildly?
Doesn’t seem the fearful public were fully aware or informed enough of these crime waves and judiciary leniencies.
How the hell was any of these failed candidates going to clean up crime again?
Leaving it all up to StupidIntended Special Ed was a complete success, ask him or Rahm.

Real tough on those gun laws and criminals aren’t they.
Sanctuary City Chicago Cook County Illinois only plan is to take away all the guns and tax the everlovin’ shit out of the law abiding citizen.
All this gun control and yet the pugnacious feral urban predator is still repeating their crimes.

Don’t plan on Mayor-2-B Prickwrinkle or LightLoafer to change anything in the restorative justice mandate and they certainly don’t want anyone pulling out that roscoe on any feral either.

So, after searching my arrestee and not finding any I.D. , I sit down at the computer and ask dude “spell your last name” and he says “J O N E S” and then I said “spell your first name” and he says “R O N A L D”. I
Asked him if he had a middle initial and he says “A”. So I type it into the arrest report and said to him “so, your name is Ronald A. Jones” and he says to me “ how did you know?”. True story

Only 4M? That would be a bargain around here. Here, they get the bid at 4M then overrun it until it hits around 20M.

The WOL made sure he was charged with multiple counts. Each victim got a charge attached. Just like getting charged separately for 16 shots.

A sad but somewhat funny story.
"Clemmie Shot Laplose" was a byline I remember from 1988, difficult to laugh because he's the asshole who murdered officer Irma Ruiz a mother of 4. He also murdered John Van Dyke (age 40) who was working at an auto parts store. Not sure of any relationship.
As a "hobby" a friend and I use to spend hours on the phone reading the Chicago phone book. She would take the last name of "Washington" and I would take "Peoples" for example. "Flim" and "Alabaster" stand out as does "Hurdestine" but "Flamingo" beats them both. Oddly enough after the numerals, but before the street name, in their addresses there was usually a "S."
As a side bar.... there was a character on a Miami Vice episode (Junk Love) named "'Ivory Jones,'" played by Miles Davis....
