Saw This From a Mile Away

  • Chicago continued to see significant decreases in major crimes during the first full week of Gov. J.B. Pritzker’s statewide stay-at-home order amid the coronavirus pandemic.

    From March 23 through Sunday, the city saw a 23% single-week dip in its seven major crime categories, including homicides, burglaries and major thefts, compared with the same stretch in 2019, official city data shows.

    Last week’s major crime numbers were also down by about 7% from the previous week, March 16 through March 22. During that week, Pritzker closed schools across Illinois, bars and restaurants were shuttered, and his stay-at-home directive went into effect March 21.
Except for those pesky shootings and homicides:
  • Last week’s 41 shootings were also a 64% jump from the previous week, when there were 25 such incidents, according to records. Part of last week’s increase was caused by a violent March 25 that saw 12 people shot, with all of them wounded outdoors.

    So far in 2020, Chicago has logged 93 homicides, compared with 80 during the same period last year, a 16% increase, according to the official data through Sunday. Shootings were also up by 23% over the year-earlier period, from 336 to 414.
Any idea what might have driven the crime "downward"? Like maybe some sort of plague or disease or even bad weather.

Crime down bullshit. No mention of virus or willingness to report the crime. How are domestics going?

It does appear that certain segments of society which have always been perceived to have driven the violence in Chicago, are now offering proof that they are indeed the problem. This behavior which is only occurring within certain neighborhoods, offers an interesting narrative showing that these certain segments of society refuse to conform to the simple rules of society / government such as staying at home for the health and welfare of all.

Hey changing the topic a bit. The Department stopped the training sessions to fit the N95 masks for patrol officers. Why you ask, not for safety but to fit officers from HQ for possible deployment. WTF once again the department shows what they think of us. PO's at HQ never get deployed they just hide them. Those are the merit bosses bf and gf they will never see the street.

Victimizers still out and about, because it's their nature to ignore other people's rules. So they still have each other to attack. But there are no cars to hijack, no stores to pilfer, no transit riders to rob, no pedestrian shoppers to harass, beat, and mug. Fewer crimes to ignore, downgrade, and sweep under the rug.

But just as fewer victims equal fewer crimes, so would fewer criminals equal fewer crimes. Stop subsidizing and enabling their existence - stop rewarding their birth and start rewarding their birth control.

Lori has yet again proven her closeness with Rahm. While everything is getting canceled I’m the USA, she refuses to cancel Rahm’s donor c3s and his brother’s Lollapooloza. Safety be dammed, we have to take care of the donor class. And her and Rahm’s butt boy mike Kelly Of the park district is right along with it for the ride. Kelly can’t even keep the south part of grant park free of the permanent victim class dope dealers and feral predators. I guess you can’t upset the permanent victim class. Cancel this shit now and taste of Chicago too.

OT: Chicago Tribune is reporting "A Chicago police officer stricken with COVID-19 has died, making him the first cop in the department to lose their life to the disease. His identity was not immediately available. But the officer was assigned to the citywide narcotics unit, according to sources familiar with the matter."

fuck the Groot. We all know the only reason the city is down in crime is that the majority of people are home for an obvious reason. While shootings may be up, overall, other crimes are way down, some districts have had barely any shootings the last 31 days. While crime was spiking in FEB, and Groot was growing gray hair as to all the violent crime, the hidden enemy was taking its shots.

Groot if you really think that crime is down because of whatever the hell initiates you think worked or had in place....wake the fuck up. The coronavirus has the public fucken scared. We had extremely high activity numbers and now they are way down. Some districts are down over 50% yet crime is also fucking down all over the city. How does that work? You think the virus has something to do with this?

crime might be down now, but as this virus wears on maybe into july and folks become antsy and run out of money, burglaries, robberies, thefts and maybe murders will go up

there could even be riots by then which will spread the virus even more

and with all the police getting sick, things could get out a hand

maybe mr. mustache needs to call in the 82nd and 101st airborne

ahh, can just see it now, strykers, LAV-25s being drop sledded all over the city

good times

Well gee wiz and golly o gosh.

When Officers are doing their best to avoid physical contact with ANYONE, arrests are naturally going to be down.
No arrests, no crime statistics.
The crime is still there, just not the arrests and accompanying statistics.

Where did I read that there were only 12 arrests last weekend?

What drives it downward is the constant downgrading of every crime, or non-logging of crime. You can’t really do that with dead bodies riddled with bullets. I assure you, when my neighbors in 811 report a garage burglary and I check CLEAR Map a month later, they mysteriously are never there. Like they never happened. The city just flat out lies. Harder to do with Swiss cheese bodies - although they’ll certainly try!

This from a miles away:
Why are marijuana dispensaries throughout the most corrupt city state county allowed the large crowds to form outside? Mayor in this city where you say stay home crowds this is totally wrong and insane! A great young copper died today from this virus, and you still allow legal dope spots to do this? Please SCC excuse the language what the fuck is wrong with Lori Toni jb? Hypocrites all of them, family works in health field nurses and doctors warning people to stay home. Today went to see my doctor to get script and what did I see? Bunched up people/folks by a dispensary laughing joking. Not going to name it but it is in 008, where is the commander? He asleep also? No enforcement but then again the political democrats most likely ordered "hands off," the scum that pushed this weed bullshit should be locked up!

May this officer rip! Leaves young children and a wife! 50 years old it's public information! Sad just beside myself right now, Lori do your job!!
Stop recreational dope but whose getting paid off?

Gov. One Man Mass Gathering just announced this pandemic response is a massive failure by the federal government (Orange Man), that he has done everything possible and now its up to each person. So you should get in on "All In Illinois" and post your videos to social media showing you are "all in." Did someone actually get paid to come up with this?? So it's up to orange man or each individual and he's out??

Hmm... so crime is down EXCEPT for homicides? If I were a cynical man I would suggest that it's not crime that is down but enforcement and reporting.
