This is Disturbing

We routinely delete nazi comparisons, because they are inevitably overkill. People forget that there were actual nazi's in the middle of last century and somewhere between 75-to-85 million dead can be laid at the feet of their twisted ideology. Just tossing out the comparison is insulting to the memory of so many dead.

But this is certainly eerily reminiscent of the recent past:
  • When Mayor Lori Lightfoot this week announced the city will pay five hotels about $175 a night for thousands of guest rooms to house COVID-19 patients, the arrangements sounded pretty comfy. The deal, designed to provide relief for hospitals that may run out of beds, has been heralded as providing “temporary accommodations” a “housing option,” and “a sanctuary for those who need it during this difficult time.”

    COVID guests will get a comfortable hotel room and three meals a day on the city’s dime.

    But, CWBChicago has learned, these guests will also encounter some unorthodox amenities. Not the least of which will be the security guards and Chicago police officers who are on-property to ensure that the “guests” don’t “check out” until the city says so. And some Chicago cops who may be called on to physically restrain uncooperative hotel guests are raising serious questions about the arrangements.
There's a name for places like that. Where the agents of the government can keep you from leaving by use of force without being convicted of any crime. People leave hospitals all the time without being cured. It's called "against medical advice." It isn't smart, but you can't legislate stupidity out of existence.

The CWB blog asks some actual cops what's going on:
  • But a Chicago cop told CWBChicago this week, “officers are concerned for several reasons. They are inside a location with confirmed infected people without any personal protective equipment (PPE) unless they need to go hands-on.”
  • But the cop had another concern: “Not complying with quarantine is only a Class A misdemeanor. The whole thing is a disaster waiting to happen because, at some point, an officer is gonna go hands-on [to keep a “guest” from leaving] and there is no way in hell the city will back them.”
Anyone else worried about this overreach on the part of Groot and her bureaucratic minions?

UPDATE: Someone located the list of Fat-ass's Executive Orders and only one (Order #8) deals with restricting movement:
  • Orders residents to stay at home, barring exceptions such as essential travel for essential work or supplies, exercise and recreation, through April 7.
A lot of legal wiggle room for someone being "detained" in a hotel that isn't their actual residence. Corporation Counsel would lose this one in a heartbeat and offer up your house to placate Loevy and Loevy.

The mass media and corrupt liberal politicians keep repeating this isn't "martial law" and that this is all conspiracy theorists. Thats exactly the same thing that happened in Germany. People kept quiet and didn't think they were a threat until it got very very real. There is a trend here, usually the Libs and ACLU are all about rights, and government infringements on rights. But isn't it a little odd they are on this side of this issue.... It can't be just me who is thinking how creepy this is starting to sound. You can hear crickets from the ACLU, and that is very very abnormal when the local governments are taking people rights blatantly away. We can't walk along a hundred of miles of lakefront city-tax payer property outside next to a giant ass lake. hmm. strange. Get ready for Groot and Jaba the Hut to keep going as far as they can and soon, it will be too late to react.

They have beat cars assigned inside the hot zone each shift. So these officers are going from the station , getting in a department vehicle, entering a contaminated hot zone with no gear, sitting there and interacting with confirmed infected people . Now those same officers get into their patrol cars WITH NO DECON PROCEDURES, head back to station, head in to the crowded station for check off . We already know this virus lives on surfaces and clothing for extended periods . Now bring it all to a station and vehicle , or worse yet home. Who the hell comes up with this shit ? There is no reason any law enforcement officer should be assigned in any one of these “housing units “. It’s a hazmat area with health concerns. That’s for medical professionals with proper gear and the fire department.

The city will be paying out huge in lawsuits once this is over. Where the hell is our union that cancelled an election? Start earning your keep and going to bat for officers being forced into these screwed scenarios from orders given by chiefs sitting in their nice office.

Is the city going to have doctors and nurses on site to care for these patients or do they want the police play pseudo medical personnel. If a police officer is assigned to interact with people who have the coronavirus will they have the hospital grade impermeable protective equipment that’s available to medical contagious disease units? Let’s examine two scenarios. The first one being a working person who has contracted the disease and cannot go home because they do not want to infect their spouse and children or their elderly parents or may be they are unable to take care of themselves. If this is the case more than likely they will not cause trouble or want to leave as it is in their best interest to stay for the duration. There will be very few of them. In the other scenario the most likely will be the homeless, also known as the mentally ill, the alcoholics, the substance abusers and a bunch of others who have multiple problems. These people end up in hospital when there is a medical crisis. The hospitals don’t want them now so they have to go somewhere. The city does not want them on the street, on the cta, in stores or hotel lobbies now as they are spreading the virus. But in these big Democrat cities it has been the norm for years. There was a time when they got arrested but the liberal courts ruled that it violated their rights. It’s better to leave them be and not make them get help if they don’t want it.
So these will be the people the police will be dealing with more than likely in these hotels. What better way to signal to these hotel patients that they care about them and they are cheering them on to recovery would be daily visits from the Mayor, the Governor, the Cook County Commissioner, the politicians, their exempt department heads and even the news media. Remember we are all in this together, together we can and Chicago Proud.

Just a hypothetical question- but what would happen if someone started selling dope out of their free room/trap house?

What if they sold a bad bag and someone overdosed from the door bought at a city trap house?

What if a “resident” commits a CSA in the free city room? Or what if a female in a free city room is the victim of a CSA?

I have a whole lot of questions, but sometimes the truth tends to be stranger than anything you can make up.
I guaran-fucking-tee that if this comes to fruition, there will 100% be some sort of ridiculous story that comes about as a result.
I can’t imagine the city would be able to slide its way out of liability if this breaks bad somehow.

A hotel room is a temporary adobe, therefore, all 4th amendment rights are in effect to those who live in these rooms. This would effectively make the room their residence. Multiple court cases have already made this determination and past-precedence will surely burn the officers violating it. Another argument for the adobe definition is sex offenders must make notification to the head local law enforcement official if they have a temporary stay in any location where they will reside. While I do agree the police forcing them to stay in would be a direct overreach of the government, some of your statement is incorrect.

Another issue that could possibly arise, if the room occupants were to have a small gathering in violation of the stay order and an officer enters the room, he could be found liable for violating a persons' 4th amendment protections.

This country just isn't ready for this much "Social Change". This pandemic is also just a dry run for the next big disaster that befalls us while the machine is in charge.
Maybe we can indoctrinate our young people earlier by creating a "social community policing group" at an early age. We can give them uniforms and everything. We can set up interment for "training" camps at the old steel plant and acreage sites on the far south side. Don't worry, they will be treated "fairly" by the hospitality staff while there. They will be released as soon as they begin to agree with the New World Order. The Junior police league can begin to staff there as soon as the reach 18 years of age.

Not So Sharp Larri doesn’t know the Art of the Deal.
Too bad the 46;AlderThieves will support her panic spending, allow her to continue to blame the Federal government when most people don’t realize the City should have had emergency preparedness supplies well stocked and well planned since 9-11-2001.

Occupancy is around 7-10% and hotels were likely willing to do it for $75 per night and they’ll still leave the light on.
Then again, there’s the stigma that’s going to left behind, particularly in regards to their the ventilation systems.
Remember that Legionaries Disease exposure that still occurs?
Remember that Municipal Tuberculosis Sanitarium up north?

There might be some pre-screening of patients and still we’ve yet to get to that level of overflowing hospital confinements. Those hotels are going to get paid regardless if the City ever uses the rooms. It’s a contract that has no exemptions.
Funny how JBee didn’t chime in...he’s says he’s a business man like Donald J Trump.

Larri is exercising her own napoleonic radical playbook powers. Better minded, smart people are likely being ignored by her ignorant and snotty lot of advisors.
Democrats across the country are hellbent on trashing the economy. Promoting fear and panic is vital.
Larri sidling along with JB Pigfluenza as well other governors are spouting numbers of 40-50,000 people will have to be extended stay hospitalized based on panic mongering by the liberal World Health Organization.
Larri wants to burn through every dollar she can and bankrupt the budget and refuse to pay future obligations.

The hotels are making the same if not more for the rooms at a time of crisis where they would have NO occupancy. How about $75 or $100 a night? Make the hotel do their part!

As far as the police in there to keep them from leaving: NO WAY!

There is an article in the Wall Street Journal this morning about research done in the United Kingdom. The researcher stated that in order to flatten the curve and not overwhelm the hospitals, the lockdown will have to continue for 3-4 months for most people, 5 months for those over 70 years of age. If not, the death rate will be scary.

I’m thinking this is so far fetched that its a bad joke. But if true this is not a job for the CPD but possibly the military. At least they have different rules and total support from their leaders. Lightfoot is not a trusted and supportive leader. She could lead a bad fart to a nearby nose.

It is against the US Constitution to use the military to enforce any laws absent a declaration of Martial Law in this country. You surely do not want to see that. The President just called up the Ready Reserve to help in this crisis. Not sure of what units or occupations. Only the National Guard, as long as it is not Federalized, can be used in any law enforcement capacity. Put in the constitution as a result of the British during the Revolution.

Let the National Guard build tent cities on the Lakefront. They have the tents, beds and mess facilities. I do not see the need to use the quality hotels downtown or on the Gold Coast. Why not the motels scattered around the city? Something smells here and I wonder if this is not some backdoor method to pay the hotels and cover some of their losses and to ensure campaign donations in the future? The city should do what Congress did to Trump; no financial benefit for any Trump businesses, so there should be no financial benefit for any JB business.

Here's one problem with Public Health Emergencies, especially like here in Illinois...
Giving Democrats a little bit of power is like giving a Junkie a little bit of Heroin -- Their craving for more becomes insatiable.

Imagine the mischief they'd do if they could get Firearms under control of the HHS & CDC. And every term of Congress some democrat tries doing just that with some bullshit Bill!

Most here saw what's on Mope-Rah's ::cough:: 'mind' with that diatribe of hers. She just said publically what ALL democrats say privately among themselves. And we've all read countless sob-story articles from ER Doctors and their 'dislike' of firearms.

Point being, we must all watch these power-hungry bastards every waking moment. They're already infringing on the 1st, 4th, 5ht, & 9th Amendments -- by utilizing their powers in the 10th (like they mostly have never done before). And they'll do their damndest -- if we let them -- to do the same to the 2nd.

Oh, there are SO many ways this “plan” doesn’t make sense - so it HAS to be real! Only a self-deluded progressive (is that redundant?) would put sick people in a hotel - for one, there’s a REASON hospitals have tile floors (hint: it’s so they can be cleaned better).

And these won’t all be middle-class and upper-middle class patients, so expect that many of them won’t want to leave once they’re better. Not to mention damage, theft and other crime that will occur. Who will be paying for that? Well, if you pay taxes in Chicago, that would be you!

I’m hoping that this is just a “thought exercise” that someone in Groot’s office came up with, because it would be an expensive failure. But I haven’t been impressed with the angry midget’s thinking, so she might think it’s a great solution.

Interesting times.....

What will probably happen is when the hood rats are cured they won’t leave the hotel. $175.00 a night for hotels that are already empty who the fuck made that deal sounds more like a Daley deal.

Not trying to turn this blog into a history lesson, but don’t forget about the Communists when you talk about prolific mass-murders. The Nazis murdered something like 6 million in WWII death camps. Many more likely died that cannot be accurately totaled during their reign. Total deaths in all nations due to WWII were something like 70 million.

Outside of WWII, Stalin conservatively murdered over 20 million with Lenin in the 4-6 million range. The Chinese leader Mao was the butcher of all modern-day butchers, murdering well over 45 million of his own people. There are other Communist dictators and leaders that murdered a few million here and there along the way.

When you see these democrats today being sympathetic to Communists, understand they admire them mainly because they didn’t take any crap from the people. If you challenged anything the state put forward, you were dead and your family was dead and it happened immediately. They didn’t pussy-foot around.

Democrats can’t win any arguments on the merits. They have to lie and cheat and steal elections and threaten violence. They use the media (and social media) to censor speech and thought and to smear and lie about their political opponents. All of this is small-ball though. The real dream is to rule in an authoritarian way where the people shut-up and cooperate. A great example of that is modern-day China. They are old-school Commies. Just ask the folks in Hong Kong. They are very lucky to be alive.

a research scientist, pointed out that America’s coronavirus cases are appearing to explode because of the sheer number of testing it’s been able to do thanks to President Trump’s response.


“If you look back at about March 1, you’re seeing about 1,000 tests performed per day in the United States,” the source said.

“Today, it’s right around 150,000-200,000 tests a day. And so, it’s no doubt that we have way more positives identified than any other country in the world is because we’ve actually done way more tests than anybody at this point.”

“One thing that Trump did…he stepped in and the FDA reduced those regulations, and it opened up testing.”

But of course, the left is wasting no time using the high cases to demonize America and Trump.

I understand that we all are concerned with this virus, but when you became a police officer you swore an oath to serve. I know the words oath and honor are a foreign principle to some but it shouldn't be for us. So those 50 just said to the rest of the district, I'm more important than you, you do what I should be doing because I don't want to do it. It takes a crisis to show the true character of a person.

Maybe those 50 are are older guys ready to retire. You think they should be going out of their way for this shitty? I learned a long time ago that loyalty is a 2 way street. Unfortunately, with this shitty and bossholes it has been a 1 way street for a looooong time.

So your saying the older guys who have health issues, and who doesn't at the age being a PO, should risk their life watching over some patients without the proper PPEs because of an oath and honor? No, and fuck NO. You get the proper medical gear for them to wear and Im sure they would be there but they are smart enough to know the shitty doesn't care about them and will give them 1 set of gloves a 1 mask which they give to the next guy who relieves them.

ALL this and still without a contract. Yea, the shitty cares about us.

Hey dip shit, the city and state knew this was coming since December and still failed to take the proper precautions..There were no shortage of hand sanitizer,masks and gloves back then.. They failed to properly supply their officers with the tools they needed to do their jobs and now officers are getting sick.

Work in 018, and it's TRUE. And no most are not in any high risk group. Just the same guys who never earned a paycheck and always looked for excuses not to do anything. The problem is, while they aren't doing their jobs, the rest of us have to do theirs. And as an older guy, if this is just a job for you, you probably should have chosen a different line of work. Enjoy the medical. And instead of telling all your war stories just say it was just a job and you never did shit.

To all the negative posters who are telling the guy talking about oaths and honor to fuck off. I understand that this dept is messed up beyond comprehension, I understand that the unfairness is unconscionable, I understand that the city hates us. But we knew that coming on, if you didn't then you should have. It's not about doing what these worthless merit hacks want us to do, it's not about what the 14% mayor wants. What it is about is protecting the people who deserve to be protected, like your family and your friends. The good, working people in this city who only want what's best for their families. I could care less about the shitheads who chose to be criminals and savages. Its those who deserve our protection that the oath applies to. If you still say fuck off, then you took this job because it was the highest paying job you could get with your limited skills and education. So my answer to you is, fuck you. You don't deserve the title of police officer and your existence only makes this country weaker. If we had guys like you as soldiers in our wars, we would all be speaking German or Japanese.
