Another Mass Shooting
- Five women were seriously injured and a man was in critical condition Sunday following a drive-by shooting in the East Garfield Park neighborhood on the city’s West Side, according to police.
Around 2:45 a.m. about 100 people were standing on the street in the 3500 block of West Lake Street, according to Chicago police, near the intersection with North St. Louis Avenue and not far from the Garfield Park Conservatory. Officer [...], a police spokeswoman, said it wasn’t immediately clear what they were doing there.
A light-colored sedan approached and someone from the vehicle began shooting into the crowd, police said. Six people suffered gunshot wounds.
One hundred people standing in the streets?
2:45 AM?
This is the north end of Garfield Park?
Parks close when?
There are laws, right?
Is the media going to ask any of the obvious questions?

Can you believe.. dumbass abc7chicago reporter was asking what were the shot women doing there so late at night
Rahm and Lori sleep well at night because they are
both psychopaths. Sick, sick, sick.
I can't make it on my own, so I'll boss other people.
People go into management because they can't
tolerate being supervised by another person. Ego,
ego, sick, sick ego. Rot the fuck in Hades all
management fucks near and far. For the harm you
have imposed upon employees and their families,
May God damn your soul.
The south side of the 3500 block of Lake St. is actually Garfield Park itself while the north side is residential, commercial and industrial.
When it comes to violent crime, Fillmore invariably leads all CPD districts. Districts like 006, 007 and 015 are distant runners up for bloodshed.
Why weren't the cops all over that group? Garfield Park is the third highest shooting gallery in a city of shooting galleries according to heyjackass.com. Shouldn't there have been a heavy police presence?
Hot
Fun
In
Da
Summertime.....
Obvious question #1: So why didn't the police assigned to that area close up the park and order the trespassers to leave?
"There are laws, right" ???
there were laws before crimesha
That is the 29th Mass Shooting in Chicago in 3019- if you use the left’s definition of 4 or more shot-not including the gunman
Every weekend night they gather here, it's on the street not in the park. In fact last weekend the crowd was as far south as Washington on the Central Park side. Drinking, yelling,smoking, music blasting from the cars, etc. No street lighting really and no real residences to complain about the noise.It ain't like 011 has the manpower to quell it. So just let it become another shooting gallery and it will cure itself.
The shooter might be someone from the area that's trying to sleep at 230am.
All the Mass Shootings in Chicago have one thing in common, The Community. 29 shootings that will be counted along with the crazies that shoot up schools. All will be used to take guns from citizens that only want to protect themselves and there families. If you haven't jumped through the hoops put in to stop you from protecting you and yours do it now. No good will come from the new gun control laws that will be forced on law abiding citizens. The criminals will not follow any law so it won't make a difference in the shootings that happen on a weekly basis.

How are you going to rustle up a heavy police presence at that time of night? Strip it from other areas? Why should my neighborhood go without coverage?
don't need no stinkin po-po to clear the parks after 11PM.
plenty of desperadoes out there funnin and gunnin and will do it for nuffin.
and they never say please.

Rumor of the day is they were peacefully awaiting the opening of the conservatory to renew their family memberships...
Summertime Madness...
As to the questions of why didn’t the police do their jobs. In the political climate these days and considering attitudes against police officers, what exactly do you propose the coppers should have done? If the beat coppers had done anything proactive it would be their livelihood and freedom at stake and for what? The ghetto will never change. That community is unlike other communities where sense and civility prevail.
Why isn’t the park closed? I’m laughing at that stupid question , because the community don’t want it closed you fool !! Are people that stupid to not see the truth of society ? Maybe take a midnight tour of the Garfield park area and see chi town reality, or just go to bed by nine and when you wake in the morning and hear the news of carnage , just keep telling yourself, “ I don’t understand “ !

Because it is much easier to clear the crowd after someone fires shots at them. The ambulances help remove a few of them, sometimes body removal services lend a hand too. Otherwise you end up surrounded, having to call half the district to stand there while the crowd pulls out their cell phone and record you while dancing and mother fucking you all the while calling you racist for stopping their fun. This last several minutes, sometimes up to an hour. Then inevitably a few take it too far and end up in cuffs, then they start resisting, then the police defend themselves using department approved techniques which don’t video very well which then leads to the crowd yelling “look how they doing him!” Which leads to more yelling and screaming and shouts of “that’s why y’all ain’t shit!” Then later the video makes its rounds on social media causing Special Ed to have more questions than answers. Officers are stripped, suspended, fired. All this because they chose to stop and “clear” a crowd. Yup, much easier when the ambulance helps....

Those people and folks were most likely lining up at 2:45 AM for a rumored Garfield Park sunrise job fare!
I get it. The park was closed and we have laws. So just where are 100 people supposed to congregate at 2:45 am?
Why should the police have kicked them out? All it would do is cause them problems if something goes south. Besides, the self cleaning oven that the ghetto has took care of the disbursement.
What were they doing there? What they do second best---nothing. The only thing that the Great Unwashed Democrat welfare voters do better is producing more Great Unwashed Democrat welfare voters.
Now, kees me you fool!!!!
Maybe they were star gazers and miss took the Conservatory for the Planetarium.

Come on, we all know the answer. By chasing the "folks" out of the park we are the racist police. Then if we need to become the least bit demanding to clear the park, we are confronted with attitude. Then one drunk dude does something stupid, everything goes to shot and we are all over the news being vilified for doing the job we should be doing. Except we can no longer do that job because the poor abused citizens run the show and WE are the cause of all the country's ills. So go ahead. Sit in the park all night and then get your dumb ass shot. Certain laws don't apply to certain groups.
The lapdog media doesn’t ask obvious questions.
They just do as they’re told.
Hard to blame Trump for this one, so let's just forget it happened, ok?
These people were just getting ready to head to work and were grabbing a morning cup of joe when this happened.
This will be addressed when Lori has her “community” accountability meetings on Tues.
If the CPD attempts to “police” the lawless crowd they’ll be met with ignorance, defiance and screams of racism.
Welcome to the new world that the liberals and anti police crowds have created.
Why were they in the park at 230am cause the city lets them do what they want. No enforcement in the ghetto.
Obamas post apocalyptic shitcaga says:
Why isnt the president getting all the blame on the mass
shootings that occur on a regular weekly/daily basis in
shitcaga??? They sure blame him for everything else!
Outstanding citizens in the park at 2:45AM no doubt. Sounds like last call in the hood.
I discovered this “ out all night” phenomenon about 25 years ago. First night on the job. Hot night on the west side and the streets were crowded, packed. I asked my FTO “ do we have 1,000 curfew slips? Stay out all night drinking and getting high.. must be cultural poverty. We know how these street parties end.
If anyone was at the last Compstat, they heard the chief of patrol make a comment to the 011 commander that he is doing a great job and he sees a bright future for him.
Already promoting him even though there is major carnage in his district. This once great Department has lost its way because of its current leadership
What ever happened to the press conference at the beginning of the summer about the special attention to break up large unlawful gatherings.
To the commentator asking the obvious question about “why didn’t the police clear the park?”
I’m assuming you aren’t the police, and if you are you don’t work anywhere near there.
As someone who has spent time passing through 011 and seeing the park on a summer weekend night- and even that stretch of lake street- I can assure you that “clearing the park” over there is an impossible task.
It would LITERALLY take the entire district, and maybe even more people than that.
I don’t think you can picture the sheer volume of fuckery going on over there.
It’s not just 1 group of people. It’s multiple large groups, it looks like a goddamn carnival out there.
Dj Tables, open drinking and weed smoking, loud music, children in the middle of the night, it’s a lot to take in the first time you see it.
If you think a park car can just shag them, you aren’t seeing the bigger picture.
That’s “the community” just enjoying their night. And if you do manage to close it down, you are “harassing them,” because they “ain’t bothering nobody.”
It isn’t a police issue, it’s an issue with society in these neighborhoods.
And also, “There ain’t no laws when you’re drinking Claws.”
-Summer 2019
No time for pointing fingers about the towns violent crime, old white guy Blago is getting his justiciability restored.
That’s seems to be the news today, and more Hulkamania.
Mass shootings and illegal guns.
More reason to build a casino on the west side.
All those underserved would have been at work or home sleeping for the next shift.
Resources are desperately needed and by the way - zero for pension debts.
What happens when Jugghaid opened the resources locks and Flood the Zone™️ in the Englewoods and there’s were no resources available for the Lawndales? The sad sack just can’t get a break.
It’s just another manic Re-Accountability Monday and another big numbers this weekend past.
We need more Big Johnson’s Dashboards and a Wall to keep Indiana guns out of our communities.
And higher taxes.

Stay Fetal you Clowns.

Criminals know that CPD is handcuffed by current policy makers/mayor/Crimesha/ etc. You can't chase under NO Circumstances- also know as No Chase Policy. But even if the criminal happens to magically get caught, then all he has to do is cry broke and he'll be out on I-bond. (in worst case scenario he'll need to come up with few dollars). It's a joke and criminal element knows it.
You'd need at least 50 coppers to clear that park out and enforce curfew if there were 100+ members of the community milling around out there. Where are you going to find 50 cops at 11pm on a Saturday night when the radio is not stop and cars have jobs pending stacked?
No manpower + not being able to enforce state laws and municipal codes = mass shootings at 2 a.m.
I mean, this isn't rocket science, it's not even college algebra and trig, it's simple arithmetic.
It's all their own doing anyway. Someone in that crowd knows who the shooter(s) were. The "community" looks at the police like the enemy more so than their own homegrown urban terrorist gangbangers
So in the words of Bricktop, "Now feck off."
Show up in a reasonably timely yet completely safe manner, feign interest, get that all-important RD, relocate to 011 on paper and notifications, and don't forget to give yourself a few OT minutes on the end when you swipe out.
Well, that's a good start.
The media never asks the obvious questions or they never would have let Ramn, Daley, Hillary off of the hook. Many laws do not apply to the inner city, they do not have to follow them and they don't. No police officer in his/her right mind would want a confrontation and risk their job. The city is lot and there is nothing the mayor can do about it
Why weren't the cops all over that group? Garfield Park is the third highest shooting gallery in a city of shooting galleries according to heyjackass.com. Shouldn't there have been a heavy police presence?
--------------------
That's a simple answer. We are short on manpower on midnights to handle large crowds. If the cops did try to handle the crowd the group would complain the police are harassing them because they are just hanging out (yes illegally hanging out but they feel that it doesn't apply to them). Then if the police were forced to react to the actions of an individuals unlawful acts because they're drunk and not drinking clearly, then the officer is going to be bogged down on an arrest with a TRR, for a charge that the awesome judges will only I-Bond the individual out on, or worse, the officer gets hurt.
So let them have what they want. The funny thing about the ghetto is that given enough time, their problems always work themselves out without the need for the police, sometimes it's a small fight, sometimes it's a shooting. Either way let the self cleaning oven run its course.

The district was in a back log from 3rd watch into 1st and then into 2nd. There are not resources in 011 to close that park and deal with the call volume and other shooting scenes that is a nightly occurrence. Plus that is just one of 20 massive crowd gatherings that happens nightly. The real number on Lake St from Homan to Hamlin is easily in the thousands not hundreds.
Imagine all the mass shootings we would have if most of the time the shootee's didn't walk, or be dropped in front of, different Hospitals. All giving different address's of occurrence with the same "I was walking down the street when I heard a bang" story?
I could probably name a dozen like these I handled alone.
Love the Sly Stone reference...
Most of the mass media will ask the following questions:
1) When will all guns be banned?
2) Don't people have a right to hang out in public parks all night?
3) How can CPD be blamed for the shooting?
4) What laws can be passed to infringe on the "so called right to be arms"?
Nothing ever good happens after midnight!!!!
Black on black shootings? Meh says Chicago and the liberals.
Another Vice President??????
Yesterday Joe Biden says he was V.P. during the 2018
Parkland H.S. shootings. He says he remembers the
surviving kids coming into his office after the event.
(Frank Sinatra needed a TelePrompTer at the end of
his career and he still flubbed the lyrics, sometimes
going totally silent.)
INCREASED SCRUTINY 4 GUN PURCHASES:
How about a simple urinalysis test (pee in the bottle--
observed--drug screen at local police station??????).
This could have saved NINE lives at the Dayton mass
shooting. Turns out Mr. Crazy Lead Singer for death
metal band Menstrual Munchies had one Ethan Kollie
(black male) purchase his later modified semi-auto
pistol, extended capacity magazines, ammo, and
body armor used in the Sunday AM massacre.
Kollie told special agents for FBI and ATF that he
smoked pot EVERY day for the past 10 years
(starting at age 14). Dude would not only have
pissed hot, he would have pissed THERMO-
NUCLEAR! Hours after shooting, agents saw
what appeared to be a bong and a pistol and
smelled marijuana in plain sight at his residence
in Kettering, OH (same town where Betts worked
in gas station).
A fucking cheap-ass drug screen could have blocked
these purchases!

Stupid fat fingers!!!
How many shot in 011 this past weekend, Accountability Monday didn't last long, commander there is doing a tremendous job according to brass at Compstat. Who would ever be able to take over and keep the success that has been accomplished
A predictable and efficient transaction.
Beef was settled. No one getting fired and no lawsuit.
2:45AM - 100 people "just standing around on the street"...
Uh huh. I call bullshit. That many people is something going on. 100 people? Impromptu party? Fight? Drug dealing? A building burned down and these are the residents?
In this case: 100 people standing on the street in a Shit neighborhood at 2:45AM = some kind of street party...
In days gone by, they'd have been told to "go home" - but now, you can't do that because it's raycis! So this is what happens.
Congratulations Democrats - you got the shitty you wanted.
"Garfield Park is the third highest shooting gallery in a city of shooting galleries according to heyjackass.com." - 1:31 AM (Boldface added).
Define the difference between a "community area", police district and a "shooting gallery".
Unlike HeyJackAss.com, historically and logically, the CPD has measured the volume and types of crime by police district, not "community area" or "shooting gallery". The 11th District invariably leads all other districts in murders and total violent crimes. 011 includes all or parts of five community areas. Contrast that with the boundaries of the community areas of Austin and Englewood.
The point is in whatever context you use the term "shooting galleries", the 11th District invariably leads all CPD districts in murders (43) and total violent crimes (972) in a runaway. The numbers in parentheses are for this year through Sunday, August 4th. 011 also leads in "shooting incidents" (178), motor vehicle theft (395) and total Part I index crime (1,877).
Hey JackAss.com is an outstanding and informative blog site. However, by using community area boundaries instead of the 22 CPD districts, it can be misleading.

It wasn't a White male doing the shooting, so the media doesn't care.
“Why weren't the cops all over that group? Garfield Park is the third highest shooting gallery in a city of shooting galleries according to heyjackass.com. Shouldn't there have been a heavy police presence?”
No, why would we do that? Plus 011 on midnights in the summer is mayhem. Very high volume of calls, a lot of violence, beat cars usually spend their night bouncing from call to call to call. And there are large groups all over the district congregating in the summer, takes awhile and a lot of manpower to break up groups of 100+ people and they’ll just come back again. So you end up just chasing them around all night. And you might have 10+ groups that size in different spots of the district. Arrest them you say? Get ready for a brawl. And then when all those coppers are off the street doing arrests, you still have all the other large gatherings to deal with, but with less man power. Also, don’t forget the non stop calls that also have to be dealt with. While you were dealing with those groups, all those calls have backed up and now the fine residents don’t have police responding to their calls. There’s sometimes it’s just not feasible. Plus, I didn’t tell them to stand on a corner, in an area known for lots of shootings, with their big dumb “come shoot me” face on, they came up with that life plan all on their own.
“Obvious question #1: So why didn't the police assigned to that area close up the park and order the trespassers to leave?”
1. It says they were standing on the street not in the park. 2. The park is massive, you can’t really “close it up” per say. 3. You can order a group of 100+ dickheads to leave, I’d give that a close to 0% chance of working. So, you better get a lot of cars there to help clear it out. Problem is, it’s midnights in 011, there’s probably not a lot of cars available, if any, given the unbelievably high call volume. Don’t forget about the other dozen groups of that size spread out throughout the district. And as always, while you’re sitting there spending all this time dealing with 100 assholes most of whom are likely intoxicated and angry at the sight of you, the calls are just piling up, other shootings, batteries, assaults, domestics, shots fired calls, robberies, burglaries, other coppers asking for help are all still happening. Not just a simple as ordering them to leave when you work in the most violent are of the United States.
As long as there is mo mass shootings at brooks norwood olympia jefferson or rosedale just to name a few im.not going to lose much sleep.

Cuz that be racial profiling!
"We aint botherin' nobody"
The communerty will hear it from Lighthead come Accountability Monday!
Mass shootings don’t involve blacks. No one cares about them...... same as drugs. They’re crackheads & addicts while everyone else are victims
Betts and Kollie attended Sinclair Community College,
largely an academic wasteland where parents usually
send not-so-ready (mature) offspring so as not to waste
their money on a real college (tuition, room & board) out
of town. Its students are floundering misfits looking to
find themselves and seeing where they fit in. Is it
any surprise that Betts and Kollie both smoked marijuana
and dropped LSD together? (Just exactly what you would
find at MIT or CMU: where students fight for admission).
Kollie was a pro-gun rights activist and used car salesman.
He now lives at the Montgomery County Jail awaiting Federal
charges. Charming.

You have nailed it and then some. Here's to hop and understanding of the crime situation in the city, police operations and rational to take or not take action, given the situation and more importantly the carefully planned and cultivated anti police environment by Rahm the Midget, Lightweight, the Machine, the Community and ACLU. The Community got what it wanted and the Murder Mayor is sealing the deal for her term.
And to the Numb Nuts' original question about "heavy police presence in Garfield Park" hopefully, you now understand how things work in Murder City. Got it Slick?!
How many cars down in 11 ,
Groot , how many police in 11 work inside caps office , commanders office , review office , tactical secretaries, ghost foot posts , parks ?
I heard there will be a reckoning. I don’t know when or where, but I heard one is coming. Who did I hear that from?
Old-Wheel Gunner says...
Worked the 30 sector of Englewood back in the late 70's - early 80's. Closed Hamilton Park on many a hot summer night by myself. "One Riot - One Ranger"!
BOO-YAA!
the only way to clear the parks in 011 in the summer is to have constant presance drones, orbitting gunships, a-10 warthogs with hellfires, cobra helicopters and dropping in the 101 st airborne to mop up. miss lori and her federal partners aint about that. just let it be and when they sun comes up they all be gone. some to the fartsack, some to the hopsital and some to the morgue. nobody wanted, nobody sent.
Command changes Otw
Standby
Commercial break
Commander Spencer 11th district dont have a clue at least KJ held it down
Maybe there were flyers posted stating the city was having a gun buy back program at 3 A:M,,yea,,yea,,thats the ticket, da city be putting up bogus signs
