Whose Fault Again?

Groot is blaming.....republicans? In a city that hasn't had a republican mayor since 1931, and hasn't had more than one republican aldercreature in almost as long? Evidently, she's been hitting her own private stash of weed before full legalization:
  • Mayor Lori Lightfoot stepped into the national spotlight in a Twitter exchange with U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, ripping him and “coward Republicans” for not passing new gun laws in response to nationwide violence and telling the Texas Republican to “keep our name out of your mouth” after he criticized Chicago’s firearm laws.

    Late Monday, the mayor responded to a Cruz tweet that said, “Gun control doesn’t work. Look at Chicago. Disarming law-abiding citizens isn’t the answer. Stopping violent criminals — prosecuting & getting them off the street — BEFORE they commit more violent crimes is the most effective way to reduce murder rates. Let’s protect our citizens.”
If Crimesha would keep shooters in Dart's jail, armed violence would drop by about 25% overnight. If she'd support an Operation Exile type of sentencing, crime would drop by 40% almost instantly, as evidenced in Richmond, Virginia and a few other democrat run shitholes. You want the State to raise children, then the State is going to have to be the "mean Dad" in some cases, and that means putting bad children in prison for armed crimes against persons.

But Groot is spouting the party line, that guns are bad, that "common sense" reforms (none of which she will put to paper and debate the merits of) and banning of scary looking weapons will lead to some sort of democrat run Utopia and tax money will blossom into pension, road and TIF funding.

Anyone think she's running for Durbin's seat all of the sudden?

The murderers in Chicago are feral predators. A large number of these shooters from outside these hell hole cities are maladjusted globalist inspired leftists. Making sure that the democrats can keep up their gun grabbing drumbeat to disarm us so the government can manage the steady destruction and reordering of this society without these pesky 2nd amendment nuisances. Say goodbye to your freedom of speech and those dangerous firearms you reactionaries love so much. No tinfoil hat here, just an alarmed observer that knows what a government will do to it's subjects if it's allowed off it's leash.

She said that majority of guns in Illinois are imported from “red states.”
Well then if guns are the problem, those states must have the exact same gun-violence problem as we do here.....

Oh wait, they don’t?
Of course they don’t. Because guns aren’t vicious wild animals that can’t be controlled.
They are tools- only as useful as the person holding it.
Or in Chicago’s case, only as destructive as the animal holding it.

God forbid you preach accountability and penalties.
Just blame an inanimate object, that only seems to act recklessly when crossing into democratic borders.

She makes his point for him. Blaming Illegal guns from out of state. Gee, you mean criminals don't follow the law? So instead of blaming the criminals, (90 plus percent democratic voters), we must blame the object (Gun) and punish the law abiding citizen. Cook County States Attorneys Office has not followed the law for years anyways. For a former federal prosecutor she is dumb as a box of rocks. Must be a merit pick. Oh, and if guns cause crime why doesn't the out of state areas have as high of a murder/shooting rate that we do? Perhaps is not the gun but the person.

Why keep shooters in jail or give them long sentences thus removing them from the streets? Answer, is the left needs a body count to justify their gun control agenda in spite of their daily denunciation of firearms/firearm owners. Mayor Littleshit knows as does the left that enhanced background checks, red flag laws, limitations on magazine count, an AWB, and other anti-firearm laws will not do anything to stop gun violence. That is why the left makes no suggestions about laws dealing with criminals. The left uses the criminals’ acts of gun violence to eventually require the confiscation of all legally owned firearms under the banner of stopping shootings. It’s all kabuki theater for the ignorant masses and the MSM. “Never let a serious crisis go to waste.”

Everyone out here knows that the police/sheriff can't be everywhere at once and it's a large area. Access to weapons can be the difference between life and death out here, so Lightfoot can keep Odessa and Texas out of her mouth as well.

The Department traces all firearms recovered. This includes guns recovered by all means, including buy back programs. These weapons are all lumped together and referred to as crime guns. So a turned in weapon from a non criminal incident just became a talking point.

This policy allows the Mayor and other uneducated and ignorant officials the cover they need to claim that the violence really isn’t their fault and that of Indiana and other locals. For the press reading this Chicago’s gun buy back dates and locations are widely shared in other states as well as downstate. People bring older guns and guns they don’t want to these events. Since no ids are checked, this has spread by word of mouth.

Politicians, Prosecutors, Judges Making It Impossible For Cops To Keep NYC Safe

Police officers have simply stopped making arrests for whole categories of crimes, including open-air drug use and drug dealing, turnstile-hopping, panhandling, harassment and other crimes that officers have been explicitly instructed to ignore.

In fact, earlier this summer, Assemblywoman Yuh-Line Niou expressed shock and outrage when she was harassed and verbally abused by ticket brokers near Battery Park and police officers declined to take action.

The officers explained that the mayor no longer wanted them making arrests for certain offenses. Ironically, legislators like Niou have only contributed to the toxic environment of lawlessness and hostility toward police work.

And who can blame police officers for not taking risks that could place their careers, pensions and family’s well-being in jeopardy?

This is NOT being the "mean dad" Cook County judge sets $100K bail for alleged gun offender (then tells him he doesn't really need to pay it)

At the time of the incident, he was on parole for driving with a revoked license after being convicted of reckless homicide. State records show he was previously sentenced to prison for six years in 2001 for shooting someone; one year for violating an order of protection in 2000; one year for narcotics in 1996; five years for possessing a stolen motor vehicle and a concurrent five years for the reckless homicide in 1991............

........................But, a sheriff spokesperson said, “he did not have to pay any portion of the bail in order to be placed on electronic monitoring.”

Defies logic. If an object (gun) in location A (Texas) doesn’t kill anyone is transferred to Location B (Illinois) and then all of a sudden is used to kill people then logic says it’s NOT the object but some force (the community) using the object in a different manner. In other words, it’s the people (or folks) behind the object to blame, not the object itself. Thanks for pointing that out, Uncle Lori!!

Recently, I signed out of the Midtown North Precinct for the final time, concluding a 25-year career with the New York City Police Department. Appropriately enough, my last day on the job was the day after Police Commissioner James O’Neill unceremoniously fired police officer Daniel Pantaleo following a years-long investigation stemming from Eric Garner’s death.

That political hit job, covered with City Hall’s fingerprints, was a stark reminder of how much the NYPD has changed and why it was no longer worth it for me to wear Blue each day.

Like many in the NYPD, I’m a New Yorker, so I personally have witnessed how the city evolved from chaotic, drug-filled and crime-ridden to safe, prosperous and livable in the 1990s and 2000s under Mayors Rudolph Giuliani and Michael Bloomberg.

In the last six years, however, Mayor Bill de Blasio has overseen an unprecedented regression in the quality of law enforcement and in life in general in New York. The NYPD brass, particularly under Commissioner James O’Neill, has been complicit in this breach of public trust and made it nearly impossible for the best officers to do their jobs well and uphold their oath to protect the public.
Make no mistake about it: New York City is no longer a safe city.

Under the cover provided by the commissioner, the mayor regularly touts statistics indicating that crime is at an all-time low. Do not believe those statistics for one second.

Police officers have simply stopped making arrests for whole categories of crimes, including open-air drug use and drug dealing, turnstile-hopping, panhandling, harassment and other crimes that officers have been explicitly instructed to ignore.

In fact, earlier this summer, Assemblywoman Yuh-Line Niou expressed shock and outrage when she was harassed and verbally abused by ticket brokers near Battery Park and police officers declined to take action.

The officers explained that the mayor no longer wanted them making arrests for certain offenses. Ironically, legislators like Niou have only contributed to the toxic environment of lawlessness and hostility toward police work.

And who can blame police officers for not taking risks that could place their careers, pensions and family’s well-being in jeopardy?
The perps have figured out this perverse system too. Many career criminals routinely file grievances with the Civilian Complaint Review Board — which is totally politicized and hostile to police officers — for any interaction, often making patently absurd allegations of racism. And even the NYPD itself has become petty and retaliatory against officers who make too many waves and do not go along with prevailing bureaucratic politics.

And district attorney’s offices across the city have also been compromised, so that when police officers do go through the trouble of making arrests prosecutors often refuse to bring charges unless the crimes are politically unpopular or the perpetrators fit a preconceived identity narrative.

Finally, radical judges in New York City courts routinely refuse to uphold the law and allow dangerous criminals, including habitual drug dealers, to walk free.

Mayor de Blasio has taken a job that stood for service, excellence and maintaining law and order and helped reduce it to a politicized chaperoning service. Meanwhile, Commissioner O’Neill, who fashioned himself as a cop’s cop, has forever lost the respect and confidence of officers who rightly see his firing of Daniel Pantaleo as a cowardly bow to political correctness.

This is what the NYPD has become, and New Yorkers should not be complacent. The New York of 10 years ago that we perhaps took for granted is gone. And as long as the good guys in Blue are shackled from doing their jobs, it won’t be coming back.

Rick Khalaf is a retired NYPD lieutenant.

>>>>> Lori Lightspeed: "60% of illegal firearms recovered in Chicago come from outside IL — mostly from states dominated by coward Republicans like you (Sen Ted Cruz) who refuse to enact commonsense gun legislation..." <<<<<

(Shakin' My Head) Lori, Lori, There you go again -- 'Again' as in; pushing that discredited canard that Democrat gun-grabbers always go for -- if the problem was the laws in 'states dominated by coward Republicans' then THEIR STREETS would be running red with blood like Chicago's. But they aren't, so it can' be the laws, now can it. So that 'Lax Gun Law' bullshit is just a Straw Man, and the folks are finally on to it. Nice try though. LOL.

The other thing that keeps going over the heads of you democrat gun-grabbers is that where a gun comes from is irrelevant. The fact of the matter is that it's YOUR citizens who are pulling the trigger. And no Republican is making them do it. Hell, every shooting and homicide in your city Mayor Poverty-Crime is committed by a Democrat! Well, they would be 'democrats' if they could legally vote. In any case, they sure as hell are NOT Republicans.

Additionally, in all those 'Republican States' where 60% of the Illegal Guns come from, if one looked closely you'd find that the overwhelming majority of violent crimes in those states occur in 'Urban Centers'... Run & Controlled By Democrat Mayors!

Furthermore, Madam Midget Mayor, taking the above facts into account it could be argued that there's not a damn thing wrong with the Firearm Laws in "states dominated by coward Republicans." In fact, they're as 'common sense' as one get get and still abide by the Second Amendment.

Last but not least; Lori, there's an odd concept floating around in some circles that you don't punish 44,000,000(?) Law Abiding Gun Owners for the insane acts of a dozen or so people over a decade. Or because some government employees dropped the ball a few times which let the wrong people have guns.

Democrats choose to blame everyone and everything except facing the facts. The democrats waste and steal tax dollars for their own agenda instead of doing their jobs. Look at all the money and time they have wasted playing the blame game and investigation after investigation on the President. This agenda the Democrats have been forcing down our throats waters down laws on the books and are empathetic toward the side of society that can't seem to follow the laws of society. Instead of prosecutions for criminals let us make excuses for them to go easy on them. Fuck that! This is the whole reason there has been a increase in violence in the city. Let us not forget all the effort society has made to make the police the problem. All you liberals that pushed the Consent Decree what you idiots have forgot is that this is going to cost all the tax payers more money. The federal government said it was not necessary and didn't pursue it. Well Lisa Madigan made it personal because we all if not most of us HATE her father.

No gun law should be passed unless it can be shown that it would actually be of a benefit. The use by the democrats of the phrase, " common sense laws" is meant to embarrass anyone who does not agree with them, by implying that you do not have common sense. Yes, a large % of weapons used in violent crime in the Chicago area are bought or acquired out of state. But, what does that mean? A citizen of Illinois is prohibited by federal law from purchasing a handgun in another state. So, these are either straw purchasers or Illinois citizens with false ID who are breaking the law. Why are they not prosecuted? Illinois has a concealed carry law so anyone caught on the street without a concealed carry card a handgun should get some prison time. They do not and in fact get signature bonds for a felony arrest. Lightfoot was the outside critic of the police and of crime. Now she is the insider and must own it and it hurts.

What do you think we are going to get 5% a year for 5 years. Yes that would be great, but be realistic. Do you really think we are going to get a 25% increase in pay. If we were offered 14-16% and able to keep everything else status quo, we should take it and run.

You think the City is going to offer an increase of a Quarter of a Billion Dollars in salary increases a year and the additional pension contribution for those retiring. I hope you are right, but what are you willing to give in return.

Are you willing to give an additional 3% to your pension contribution. 1% to medical on top of the increase that automatically comes with your increased salary. How about our discipline protection.

The democrats are attempting to turn up the heat and get that water boiling.

MAGA says America is not a nation of frogs.

What will law enforcers do?

The 220k rehab consisted of 4 union carpenters, 3 union laborers and one union janitor. All they did was saw a foot off all the legs and chairs in the office with a sawzall. Job done.

This place is hilarious! Groot just spent 220 grand to "remodel" her office. As if millionaire Rahm a Lama Ding Dong worked in a dump. I wonder if the " REHABBERS" found ALL THE BUGS! How strange, Jabba the Hutt Pritzker used the same excuse to "remodel" his office. The former BILLIONAIRE occupant must have kept the place like a dump too.... SAME SHIT, DIFFERENT FLIES!

That is a tough one. Is it just you? What about a spouse? Does he/she have their own retirement benefits? Children at home? How is your health? Your spouse's health? The children's health? House paid off? Do you have a side-hustle that is big money? With healthcare? Or, is it more of a hobby job? Do you owe a lot of money or none or somewhere in-between? Do you have a healthy investment portfolio? Are you in deferred compensation? Maxed out? Can you financially do without the last 2.5%? Are you willing to roll the dice? Or do you have a nagging, itching, burning, non-negotiable desire to go now? Only you know the answers.

Next, you add it all up and massage it and chew on it until you are better equipped to answer your questions of go now with the 2% healthcare or roll the dice and go later with or without the 2% healthcare. The two things of which you have no way of knowing in the here and now are 1) the future cost of healthcare and 2) how long will you live? Who knows? I would guess healthcare cost is going to steadily rise, but your plan about living to 100 and the big guy's plan might not match. But, you are the only one in your shoes and you have to be comfortable with your chosen path. Good luck.

OT: Anyone else noticed that CNN "Headline News Channel" is essentially re-runs of "Forensic Files" episodes 22 hours a day? 5-7AM is some talking head with a "morning show", but other than that - it's no longer a news station.

How long until the other stations fold up?

Thank you President Trump!

he Munchkin realizes that her time is limited as Mayor so I wouldnt even be surprised if she were to make a run for Durbin's luxurious seat. Shes so clueless!! Oh by the way, if the teachers were offered 14-16% for 5 yrs that only makes a 2-4% raise each year, which is nothing. So, if thats whats she is offering, what do you think were going to be offered?? Another 2-4 % increase over 4/5yrs...fuck that bullshit.

What do you think we are going to get 5% a year for 5 years. Yes that would be great, but be realistic. Do you really think we are going to get a 25% increase in pay. If we were offered 14-16% and able to keep everything else status quo, we should take it and run.

You think the City is going to offer an increase of a Quarter of a Billion Dollars in salary increases a year and the additional pension contribution for those retiring. I hope you are right, but what are you willing to give in return.

Are you willing to give an additional 3% to your pension contribution. 1% to medical on top of the increase that automatically comes with your increased salary. How about our discipline protection. You don't think the City would be after that. Let's be smart about this, the city is going to ask for things in return, what are you willing to give?

9/04/2019 05:22:00 PM


Yes, it does suck because the little 2-4% raise goes right back into the City's pockets after a new set of tax raises she will throw at us...and NO DOUBT they are coming!!!( so where is the raise?) Start forcing the fucking teachers to put more than 2% into their pensions like the rest of us...only fair game in these tough fiscal times.

Our mayor claims the majority of firearms used in crimes here come from Red State locations. Not sure how she can verify this. What is factual is that the overwhelming majority of criminals in Chicago...are from Chicago! Mrs. Mayor please find the nearest dumpster, climb in and make yourself at home...because you’re trash.

A gun does not shoot by itself. A finger pulls the trigger. As long as you ignore and pander the hand that owns the finger, the problem will continue.

Larry please stop your blaming law abiding states for the proven failures of your democratic party and your severe inability to mayor over the shithole city that your party has created!

Put the blame squarely where it belongs!
On your constituents and your fellow politicians.

Ted Cruz is a real man. If you're going to step in the political ring and claim that you're a man, then politically you will be mopped like the intellectual incompetent that you are.

Can SecondCityCop writers reach out to some Singapore retired police officers and get them to share their experience in a "City that still works"?

How does the very successful Singapore City-State manage to have such clean, safe public schools, public transport? Somehow I doubt if Singapore allows Texas style gun rights or Mogadeshu Somalia, Chicago style anarchy.

The same old, same old Lib Leftist Demorats and the equally annoying Libertarians refuse to just look at places like Singapore, Japan and notice that these places work rather well.

Singpore and Japan do not have open borders mass immigration, nor American big City Demorat misrule.

When I get very depressed about our Chicago criminal youth anarchy, I just read up on the latest Singapore caning.

Another good source for positive news is Mother Russia. St. Petersburg is no longer Leningrad, it's.... St. Petersburg Russia, this is the main reason the "American media" (yeah right) is constantly frothing at the mouth hating on all things Russia - they lost Russia and the Cossacks are back.

You are nuts if you dont go


Why not hang in there and wait and see what’s included in the new contract and then decide it’s at least a year away, but if it were agreed upon next week, the membership has to vote on it and the city council has to ratify it. During that time you can retire and all the benefits from the old contract apply until the new one is signed

So, if the guns that lead to Chicago’s high murder rate are coming in from “red states” - presumably Indiana, Kentucky, possibly Missouri (but NOT Wisconsin or Iowa), then why don’t those states’ largest cities have the same problem? After all, if THAT’S where the guns are coming from, there must be LOTS more guns per capita in those cities.

Or is Mayor Lightbrain just spouting off because she doesn’t really HAVE an answer - at least, not one she’s willing to say out loud.

Unless she’s as stupid as she sounds, she HAS to know that the problem isn’t guns and it isn’t the police - the problem is a certain “community” that she and the State’s Attorney (and liberal judges) refuse to arrest, prosecute and incarcerate. Anyone who has worked in those “communities” knows that it’s 2% of the people who are causing 98% of the problem - arresting them and locking them up is the only way to stop the cycle of crime and violence.

Lightbrain is like the dog who just caught the car she was chasing - she doesn’t know what to do now that she’s the one in charge.

LE will do exactly what the mayors or governors tell them to do or they won't beven LE any longer. Pretty simple. And since all big city mayors are leftists to one degree or another you'll do the bidding of a lefty or lose your job and pension.

He’s in a good position to stay if he wants. With 28 years he can bid for days in any unit and an inside job. That should keep him from getting killed

There is no way this contract settles in the next 18 months, lightfoot has to make an example of us and our C.B.A to attempt to gut certain protections covered in the agreement. For the mayor it is only smart to grind this process to a halt to sweat people on the money aspect in a attempt to make people cave, and be willing to accept certain changes to our agreement for the money. It wouldn't shock me if it went 2 more years till settling.
