Crime is Up

  • Citywide, the number of people who have been shot — killed or wounded — has risen by 36 percent, according to the police department.

    Mayor Lori Lightfoot and interim police Supt. Charlie Beck have been scrambling for answers. Last month, Lightfoot met with Beck and his commanders after Chicago experienced its deadliest weekend in 18 years. They talked about strategies to ease the violence, but the murder rate has kept rising.

    No one knows why for certain. The police department is asking the University of Chicago Crime Lab to analyze the rise in violent crime.
Guess what they decided?
  • Roseanna Ander, director of the U. of C. Crime Lab, said the three-month rise in violence compared to last year needs to be seen in light of last year’s especially cold winter, an anomaly in which people tended to stay inside more often.
Which runs counter to what McCompStat and Rahm were pushing for years - that weather had no effect on crime. We blasted them a number of times over that bullshit and we even pointed out the folly of basing their "crime is down" statements on year-over-year comparisons where a couple bad weeks or weekends could skew statistics into something easily (and politically) manipulable.

Of course, that's what CompStat was based on - statistical manipulation - and Rahm was a quick study in what lying meant to reelection chances.

I heard from my wife’s politically connected family— ie she is related to chuy and her other alderman relative is about to get federal time along with Burke— they said that Groot is balls out and is NOT gonna cancel the pride parade 🏳️‍🌈. It’s alright, the hospitals can handle it right Groot

Good God...everyone including Stevie Wonder knows what the problem is. Why is this so fucking difficult for these people to figure out. At least a good virus will slow it down. There will be a lot of catching up to do when its all over.

Heaven forbid the determination is made that catch and quick release (I-bonding) equals no consequences for committing a crime and thus results in renewed committing of further crimes.The possibility that this reinforces in the minds of criminals that nobody cares anymore if they commit crimes and so they commit more crimes more often than they ever did before. Tell me this will not be the determination.

The city is inflating the numbers to counter any statements made by FOP to any arbitrator. Crime is really down. It's down so low that XOs can spend time in another state at a casino...

I love how Chicago politicians have to pay some university academic to find the answer to a moronic question. Why can't these ignorant fuckers just ask the cops on the street who have the most knowledge and experience with crime. It's extremely insulting and plain stupid on their part that they choose not to talk to us, not to listen to us, and not to believe us. We do have the answers. By the way, fuck you Groot, noone respects you either.

Figures don't lie, but liars figure. Obviously there are errors due to omitted variables. The clowns that set up the algorithm didn't include weather, or else we would see a significant coefficient assigned to said variable. So this whole crap shoot was skewed from the beginning, and has little or no use in reality. Don't need to cheat when the game itself is fixed. Instead of asking the men on patrol for the reasons for crime, and assigning these as variable to be tested, the Brain Trust set up their own to satisfy political, rather the real life needs. And now they reap the whirlwind.

If they really want to know what drives the violence in this city, they don’t need to ask U of C or the weatherman. Just find an experienced blue shirt and they’ll fill you in.

Always looking for answers in all the wrong places.

Kim foxx and her flawed logic is what is driving the crime rate up. Hug a thug is not working, being locked up when you do something wrong works.

Anders is the person the city looks towards whenever they need more money for the latest initiative. They look for her to get the Griffin money reallocated. They roll out various systems and projects but don't have money to sustain them. Just like a weatherman, how do u know if an initiative is working? It's like counter terrorism saying everything is working because there has not been an attack yet. Maybe these initiatives are or aren't working however there is no way to measure it.

What a fucking moron.......
When there are no consequences to crime, CRIME INCREASES....
When you commit four bank robberies, are let out on a minimal I-Bond, and within

It’s your criminal DNA rearing it’s ugly head because you aren’t locked up to
prevent you from doing it again and again and again.

As long as there’s grant money coming in, screwballs will always have a climate theory.
Blame the heat, no blame the cold, no blame cold/heat fluctuations during lunar cycles (and income disparities).

Nobody blaming KmmmFxxxx 2020 restorative justice?
She has 3-1/2 years of let’m go.
Nobody blaming Slumpy MacDoneEnuff SpecialEd yet?
He had all the strategies in place for 3 1/2 years.

Bottom line - they want Gun confiscation first to see if that works.

worth repeating:

eight levels of controls by Saul Alinsky to transform a nation through socialism into communism.

1. Healthcare – control healthcare and you control the people.

2. Poverty – Increase the poverty level as high as possible, poor people are easier to control and will not fight back if you provide everything for them to live.

3. Debt – Increase the debt level to an unsustainable level. That way you are able to increase taxes and this will produce more poverty.

4. Gun control – Remove the ability to defend themselves from government. That way you are able to create a police state.

5. Welfare – Take control of every aspect (food, housing, income) of their lives because that will make them fully dependent on the government.

6. Education – Take control of what people read and listen to and take control or what children learn in school.

7. Religion – Remove belief in God from the government and schools because the people need to believe in only the government knowing what is best for the people.

8. Class warfare – Divide the people into the wealthy and the poor. Eliminate the middle class.

I suspect that Burke is already cooperating and trying to get a deal to avoid dying in federal prison. When he does take a plea, I am sure his wife will then resign from the courts. Burke could take a few down with him. Too bad he would not wear a wire. Now that would have been classic.

I would put all of my money that Kim will get 99% of the black vote. That would be enough to put her over. This is about race, always in this town. Competence has little to do with anything. Beside that, she is a women ( can't put a powerful black women down, it is racist), and she is the incumbant. All together,hard to beat.

Crime may actually go down in Chicago. With all of the trade shows and conventions being canceled, there will be many fewer tourists to rob. Just today, Neocon at the Merchandise Mart in June (typical attendance of 40,000 each year) has been postponed.
