Smart Idea, Really Dumb Idea
Someone is actually sort of thinking ahead:
- The Department is easing into twelve hour days. First cancel days off, evaluate, then if need be, deploy units, then Districts to 12-on-12-off.
But then, after closing sporting events, restaurants, bars, schools, parades, and all sorts of large-crowd events, Groot does something extremely dumb:
- Metra has announced plans to sharply curtail service in response to the precipitous drop in ridership even before the governor’s order. But the CTA is planning no service cuts even though ridership Wednesday was down 75 percent on rail and 59 percent on CTA buses.
“Public transit is an essential service, and it’s important to keep it moving for those who need to travel for necessary reasons, including health care providers, emergency personnel and others who rely on transit,” CTA spokesman Brian Steele wrote in an email to the Sun-Times.
There's an invitation to disaster if ever we saw one. Have you seen Michigan Avenue tonight?
Those aren't boarded up because they've been looted. Those are boarded up to protect the empty stores from crowds of otherwise unoccupied CPS students who are out of school for the next thirty days.
Groot's CTA is giving them easy access to an empty Mag Mile....and that is going to further stretch already thin CPD resources, because the governor's and mayor's declaration to stay home is falling on deaf ears and empty skulls.

despite the stay at home order, if you see a group of utes gathering they can't be arrested.....Because that would be profiling..... K. Foxxx order- LOL
Wonderful system.
Accordion gates, rolling metal shutters.
We're going Ghetto, folks.
Refuckindicous
First wax is free
Weird!!
The Michigan Ave alliance wouldn’t allow boarding up store fronts before. During NATO, when rioting and damage was expected, they couldn’t do it. Now, they decide its the right time?
...Head scratcher...
By the way, is Dillon still head of the Michigan Ave security contract?????
this is really a great october suprise in march. i can see a pandemic right before every tight election from now on. this ones from china, next one might be from the clinton global initative.
she didn't get elected because she knows survival tactics, but asset holders do apparently. she doesn't get it at all. kim fix(who lightfoot endorsed) already wasn't prosecuting these punks. does anyone believe these punks feel like they'll be in trouble for anything they do under these circumstances? especially with lightfoots good friend foxx incharge for 5 more years? what a horrible crew
Actually looking forward to watching the greatest show on earth making a comeback this weekend . LET THEM LOOT all they want , I'm not going to bother , Based on what I will observe anywhere in this city, as lomg as they take less than 999.99 worth of merchandise , it's all good for me , Krimesha will not have to worry about dropping charges or charging because , I'm not doing crap. I'm opting for staying FETAL , And I'll be sure to be checking the money box too.... Let the city Burn, Mad Max is being played out across the city,, let the party begin !!
Safety 1st !!
Hey, wheres Tom Sellecks double at?
Military will be deployed downtown, that I can tell you! Trump will give the order during an address to the nation probably Sunday night.
This looks like the set for I Am Legend. I give it 3 days before packs of coyotes are seen roaming downtown.
Depressing Michigan Avenue photos...absolutely anticipated but still wtf -this coty has gone to shit
Looting and rioting? Bring back 1968.
Awww SCC, dem poor misunderstood yufs just need somethin' to do... There's been generational disinvestment in their areas an they aint got nuffin to do but go see the sights on the Magnificence Mile...
I suspect this has less to do with preserving transportation for people who have to get to work, and more to do with cutting paychecks to CTA so they keep voting Groot & Co.... Chicago Way's gotta survive even in the depths of a Planetary Pandemic
It just goes to show that the Businesses on the MAG MILE know that WE have a problem with the little rug-rats but the Mayor looks the other way. After all, isn't the Mag Mile the GEM of the CITY????
That plywood will never be able to stop a determined Amish kid. All they have to do is hook the plywood up to the bumper of their horse-drawn carriage and order the team of horses to PULL!!!
Then it’s Versace’s for everyone in Amish Acres!!!
Just shows how incompetent the mayors, but it does show how competent the stores are by boarding up there facilities because I know with the animal can and will do. This suggestion to stay home it’s not gonna work we all know that, and I will we will have roving bands of savages bedtime distraction just like escape from New York and other videos that we have seen in the past total anarchy shut it down do your job mayor or resign!
The downtown liberal democRAT will get just what they voted for by getting invaded by the uncivilied people's they voted, remember the police are the problem.
Did they dust off the plans from the 1990's Chicago Bulls Championships games and the initial riot plans and prevention
No riders so instead of cutting services back lets drive the CTA even deeper in debt. Must be planing on asking Trump to pick up the bill and blaming him if he declines to pay for your stupidity. Everything in Illinois is political, everything.
And NOW, thanks to the policies of States Attorney Kim Foxx. We welcome you to DETROIT!!!!

That Dior store could become a template.
Modern Roman Under Seige. Man, we could charge for this
stuff. It's cutting edge.
the big question will be, not the looting(that's inevitable) but reported by the media???
Didn't know that plywood is a Covid19 barrier. Or is that up o prevent outsiders seeing the rich continue their whooping sprees. Smart move on the merchants part. In my double thick home window protection there will be gun ports.
So your going to keep the Red Line escape route open? Brilliant. First you tell people to stay home then you don't curtail public transportation. Any bus driver or El Moorman that gets attacked will have a huge check coming his way. The only good thing that might come out of this is that most decent people will obey and those on the street to be preyed upon are the lowlifes. With any lick the self cleaning oven gets a very good cleaning. To those patrolling the communities Be vigilant, practice good situational awareness and do not get out of your beat car for ANY reason. No need to interact at all with them. Roll sown your windows and yell is you must but do not engage. Suggest you all make a big GO HOME sign you can flash at them. Flash tensing and drive on you have done your job according to Fat Man and Beck.
I’m an outsider, but read SCC a lot. Question: what is the expected time frame for the “rebrunns” to see the plywood and start screaming “racist!” at the top of their lungs?
Better hope that's not Chinese plywood.
Since the inception of Sen Obama’s Traffic Stop Survey we have been predicting it would come to this. To everyone who still sings Obama’s praises enjoy your destroyed city. Chicago is toast.
Service cuts for mass transit are a BAD IDEA unless you restrict ridership. Otherwise you have what is in London right now: a shit ton of people absolutely packed onto buses\trains, etc.
Shut it down or keep it going but don't go halfway so people end up like sardines.
It already started last night in 001, multiple robberies by groups on the CTA beating people. I’m sure it won’t be a problem anymore with the stay at home order in place.
Big Egos Will Prevail
Why do we need to hear from an NFL QuarterShit
who announces he is in self quarantine with his family?
FUCK YOU, QuarterShit. If you didn't know balls, just
what would you do?
It really hurts to see my lovely Boul Mich with plywood. I can't stop weeping.
Now, kees me you fool!!!!
The little savages always want to steal the $900 purses, yet have zero interest in shoplifting hand sanitizer, wipes, Lysol. Clean yourselves before you loot!
Fucking tissue paper board up
Mad Max Poster
Every news channel in Chicago is reporting COVID-19 for their entire newscast. No time or reporters to report on crime. All of Michigan Ave could be burning and the viewers wouldn’t never know so hence Larry doesn’t care. And let’s say the fine CPS stoodents did loot, they will never see the inside of a jail, juvy, or a courtroom. Not with the scare going on. Foxx will dismiss charges in order to keep them healthy. Pritzker was asked yesterday about the “220 poor children in state juvenile justice custody”, if your a kid locked up in state custody for committing a crime it must be pretty serious, we’re talking murder and rape, yet in their eyes they are poor children who should be home with their families. Pritzker said they are working to send as many home as possible to keep them healthy during this time. Do you really think they will be sending any back when it’s over? Also FOXX said she is releasing as many from cook county jail to keep them safe and JB is releasing as many from the state prisons with less than a year to serve or who are deemed non-violent. This is COVID19 is a social justice warriors dream come true. In the future where there is a budget crisis, flu outbreak, or just election season, they will be saying release everyone, we did it during Covid let’s do it again!
JB could of ordered the stay home order a week ago after he saw everyone out on St Pats day, but heaven forbid they don’t get the Dems out to vote, that was priority #1, not the safety and health of the citizens. Now all of a sudden it’s important to stay inside and keep away from everyone. On Election Day it was safe. DemocRAT way!
The red line crew will be running express.
BURN BABY BURN, it would be a great disappointment if the savages didnt loot and destroy. They have to do this in the name of Kim Foxx. They have to show the people that they are worthy of destruction.
It would be a nice picture of unity if the governor and mayor hugged each other.Then,with their exercise of their authority go out on the streets themselves and ask the authority abiding people to please go inside,get off the corner and hide from the invisible enemy.Lori and jb are parents.They could give their mentoring and love to the non abiding of the order.Then,they will truly get out of their bubbles and experience reality.Don’t forget your hand sanitizers though.You never know what they are also carrying out there!
12 hours exposure to humans increases your chances of getting infected with the Corona virus !!!! SHAME ON CPD AND THE CITY OF CHICAGO
Our State's Attorney has announced she will not prosecute anyone arrested for non-violent crimes, which include window breaking and theft under $1.000.
Our Sheriff has announced he does not have any room in the jail for non-violent criminals.
The Chief Judge has closed the courts and ordered that non-violent criminals who are unfortunately charged be released on a signature bond.
Our Mayor fails to support the police when they try to enforce the law.
Businesses are starting to realize that capitalism will no longer be allowed within the US.
Society, as we now it, is doomed as long as Democrats remain in power.
Busses and trains still running with over 10 people on them, stay home but go to vote at a polling place with more than 10 people there. Does anyone see the two sided dribble these fools preach to the public. This shit goes on and on, ordering you to stay inside but you can go out to walk, ride your bike, walk your dog, go to the store, go to gas station etc. This doesn’t sound like a serious effort at all. The law abiding people will for the most part abide by this request, mostly with common sense. The others, LOL will disregard it. This sounds like the script of the ol’ gun control laws and debate. Hmm starting to get real old !!
Real smart, 12 hours, let's get more exposed to the Corina virus with an increase in exposure!!!!!

stop passing on such absolutely ridiculous rumors
Never thought I would see the day our beloved Mag Mile had to be boarded
up like a beach home on the Florida Keys during a hurricane.
Sure hope they moved all their inventory......since we all know certain
segments of “society” just will not comply to any sort of civilized order.
What the hell is a yute?
And on a lighter note...any vaccine they come up with should be avoided.
That’s how every zombie movie starts
It was only a matter of time before the Magnificent Mile resembled the ghetto. When the plywood is removed, this high-end retailers will be replaced with wig shops, barber shops, J&J Fish and Chicken shops, liquor stores, street churches, gym shoe shops, Maxwell Street Polish and Korean food stores. Utopia at last!
Did they unplug the redline? The jihadists would then have to stay local. I actually had a looting arrest once... the good ole bulls championship “celebrations”.
Razor wire wouldn’t be as unsightly a those sheets of plywood.
Keep the Red Line up and running. The yutes need transportation to and from down town. For the Mag Mile crew to board up like this, then desperation and fear is in the air. You can thank Groot and Foxx for their shit jobs in office.
"they" do the same s*** after hurricanes. Loot the Nike stores."They" needs to keep lookin fresh. I say let em loot. At a time like this let the whole world see how "they" act.
The Michigan Avenue board-up is truly one of the saddest things I have seen in my life. It absolutely reflects what this city has become. Even though we continue to pretend life is normal, the "disaster preparation" is not being done for any impending natural disaster, but instead for the social disaster that is supported, encouraged, aided and abetted by the commie left.
So unnecessary and extremely discriminatory of retailers to even think that our fine citizens would consider damaging property and stealing during this trying time. Due to school closings, you know our fine kids are taking advantage of e-learning to ensure optimal SAT scores. With that said, I will be boycotting those establishments from now on.
I think that you will see the local Home Depot getting hit for new 20 volt reciprocating saws. One of those will make short work of that "Ute barrier" with plenty of runtime to last the whole day. Perhaps you guys should practice "stop and frisk" on the Red line for power tools.
Not decreasing CTA service aligns with not shutting all libraries-got to take care of certain ones and the hell with the rest of us.
--No Cop Here
no school , no work but cps moms and dads are unable to prepare breakfast or lunch for their children sounds like dcfs should be busy , sounds like child neglect
real reason for supplying breakfast and lunch , sweetheart contracts to political donors
how much of the food is thrown in garbage
why are teachers receiving full pay , should be put on unemployment
they are not teaching , babysitting
tax dollars wasted
Stolen vehicles can still crash through plywood, right?
Boarded up windows on Michigan Avenue, does it matter it ain’t even summer yet?
That’s some image of a 21st Century Global City.
The marauding feral will rip that 1/2” obs down in one pull.
Better yet, they’ll gnaw a 2’x2’ ferret hole to get inside, loot the entire stow and boogie out the back doe.
Catch’ em red handed in the act and then what?
Disgusting that board up is allowed (in a world class global city) as a preventative measure and yet KmmmFxxxx 2020 is heading into another 4 year term come November.
Buzzard Box Chic
I’m sure that City Hall goes out of their way to include fresh bottles of hand rinse and Clorox wipes in every package of breakfast and lunch that they quickly distribute to every CPS location for this town’s future masterminds...
That I can tell you. Shoot to kill all arsonists.
Live in Edgebrook, got stopped at train crossing and watched about 100 flat beds going south into city, loaded with Hummers and all military vehicles, get ready 4 govt take over and curfew for downtown, anybody with reason knows the fuckin rats will try to enter stores.
Versace store missed it's board up chance as the Dior image shows... What, the wilding mobs don't think Versace is a brand worth smashing and grabbing?
Funny on the board ups... Hardware stores are still open and maybe CPS this semester taught it's prize pupils what a CROWBAR is useful for. Just anticipating... Just anticipating...

I give it four before the coyotes get smart and realize downtown Chicago with packs of feral teens roaming about is not place for lawful canines. The coyotes will leave in short order.
CTA employee [no reporting if bus / train operator] has it. Maybe self cleaning will start in earnest. Cue Chalkie!
Hunker down and stay safe!!
Concerned citizen
I read the following IG post from a girl that went to a prestigious Chicago high school with my son. She went on to a liberal east coast college. WTF are they teaching in school?
"Please stay informed about what you can do to slow the spread of the virus and support people who are vulnerable- service workers, the elderly, small businesses, the homeless, prisoners, etc. We need to be there for each other through mutual aid and, most importantly, SOLIDARITY in the face of mass evictions, deportations, and the punitive arm of the state.We cannot let this crisis disintegrate our social fabric. Instead, let your frustration about the suffering of the moment radicalize you. The structures of power are weak right now. Organizers are securing huge wins like eviction freezes, freedom for prisoners and those held on cash bail, and the end of non-violent arrests. It's tempting to despair, but there is work to be done and a huge opportunity to lead discourse toward empathy and equality. Remember how you feel now when politicians tell us that healthcare, housing, food and water are not human rights. The wealth and rights of our society can only be judged by the poorest and least powerful among us."
again - WTF?
Shut down the Red Line. End the chaos....
Call for the Scoops!!!!
And I don't mean ice cream.....
I don't think the CPS honor roll will be on the streets... All those kids will be home schooled and the caring fathers will be present, taking time from work even, to watch over their kids and help them with math homework etc.
What could go wrong?
Glad everything is boarded up! That will help the city long term!
Will The Costs Of A Great Depression Outweigh Risks Of Coronavirus?

You loot?! WE SHOOT!
Wait, wait... No! Shooting is not permitted. Cancel that.
Giving a stern talking to about the risks of being out and getting viral infection and then passing it on to your grandma (maybe) will occur along with a threat for a citation to maybe be issued.
Punk kids fear the citation after all! No shooting however, to do so is just wrong!
The youths will riot and steal all the hand sanitizer!
"Did they dust off the plans from the 1990's Chicago Bulls Championships games and the initial riot plans and prevention"
Even if they did... A few little acronyms like ACLU, COPA, and FOXX have ensured that I and everyone I know will be doing nothing. As long as its property damage, theft etc. And fellow officers are not in danger, we're NOT putting hands on anybody. Stand back and watch them loot. What? We're going to tackle, have to rough up some teenager for stealing clothes while someone catches it on video...only to be stripped, sued and fired after this is all over?? In my career I've gotten in more trouble for going above & beyond than for not doing enough. Stay safe everyone!

If they closed that shitshow down the retailers would not need so much plywood, the animals at 79th and Ashland family dollar store took over a truck with wipes and sanitizer delivering, hijacking trucks,just like carjacking only bigger! Hoping that with this shutdown citizens who many are locked and loaded will give some animals dirt naps that they deserve!
Post some more pictures of Michigan Ave.
Looking like pulaski and Madison with the boarded store fronts. So our readers can how fucked up this city is.
The Chicago public schools will be exposed as poor parents as the out of control students will act out and rebel by being bored from being sheltered in place.
well, with all of these non-essential businesses closed, what is left to steal? Liberal cities are telling their cops not to arrest for auto theft, selling drugs or burglary. I am sure it will be coming here soon. The left does not want arrests for non violent crimes. So, what is their plan to do with these miscreants ? Peace circles? A good talking to? I am sure that the good folks living on the west and south sides of the city will comply with the mayor, but the thugs certainly will not.

The city should rent some construction fencing and install it around the michigan ave shops. Keep everyone out. One entry guarded by cops to let employeescwho need in come and go.
Probably be there for a year or so.

Or, are you imitating Fred Gwynne as Judge Chamberlain Haller?

0bama's beef with the cops intensified because he used to get pulled over on I-55 on the way to Springfield. He also used to drive 85-90 MPH but assures us the cops just picked on him because he was half black.
I doubt the police could even tell his race when he was zooming by that fast. It seems to me if "tha community" was deathly afraid of the police like we are told they would stop breaking the law ,at least in public.
Now I can tell my wife that the new room addition I haven't got around to finishing yet has Dior walls.
This disgusting looking mayor will never win a contest for being best dressed. I just saw a picture of her in her business pant suit, never wears a dress, but I guess most men don't. She wont cut CTA service because thenhow will her peeps get downtown to cause HAVOC? The city will never recover from this COVID bullshit. WIt and see how much money is stolen.

A yute is a yute. Although some people call them a youth
As far as where he has been. My guess he wasn’t even born in 1992 and never saw the movie
I do NOT expect that the Yutes of dis City will loot any bookstores!!
Do NOT Panic! Your neighbor to the North— Wisconsin— has BOTH the trees to produce wood pulp AND the paper mills to turn the pulp into toilet paper. Additionally, the hard working, beer drinking, cheese curd snacking workforce to “ get er done”.
