Kids Still Catching Lead
- A 15-year-old boy is in good condition after shots were fired Tuesday evening in Grant Park and a bullet grazed his head, according to Chicago police. The boy does not appear to be the intended target.
Officers on patrol heard gunfire and were immediately waved down by witnesses after shots were fired near the Grant Skate Park, 1135 South Michigan, around 10:30 p.m.
A source, citing preliminary information, said a group that was having a party at a nearby hotel got into an altercation with another group of people who were parked on Columbus Drive. The argument escalated, and someone fired shots, the source said, adding that the gunman may have fled back to the hotel.
And it isn't ending any time soon.

Groot the answer to solving this rate is to—
1. Twitter some dip shit about Trump
2. Blaming the poleec
3. Defunding the poleec... cause AOC said when u pull the police back these shitholes turn in suburbs. But if these area turn in suburbs— wouldn’t those area be inclined to vote Republican? I don’t know, I am retarded cop who barely graduated 8th grade. I can barely vote correctly or incorrectly
Amazing that this mayor is a real tough guy when it comes to law-abiding people and the silliness of her shut-downs. When it comes to real criminals she is feeble and weak.
P.s.. what happened to the rush campaign office debacle?
Lead magnets in Gotham City.
Something to do witn rhumb lines.
Chicago has one crazy cartouche.
Highly prized with map collectors.
Chicago is so exciting under the hundred year old democrat rule… like South Africa exciting! Probably won't get better, either. Make sure and pull the "D" lever!
I won’t be going downtown with my family ! Thanks
mayor , the city is losing revenue by you allowing these
animals to run loose !
Anyone that ventures into the city has to have their head examined. What a shithole they have created. Mogadishu by the lake. Sad.
Heard they’re bringing back Vri on Michigan Ave. Gold Coast community is putting the heat on the alderman for more police presence. Also heard the D unit is gonna have the option of working VRI since they’ll be expanding rosters again.
Kids and south loop all in one incident. How does this play out for the officers who had this scene. Groot could give a flying FU to the human side of Officers and having to handle all this violence up close. Every Officer has kids and can’t erase seeing children become victims of violence. The Mayor doesn’t care about kids or police.
Does the 15-year old kid live around there? Shouldn't be there at 10:30.
Maybe the census Cowboy can start helping out with the shootings
One inch.
One inch and it would be a closed casket catastrophe.
Why in God’s name do “these” people continue to wreak havoc on this city with impunity the fine citizenry has had enough those of us that have been raised are raising or just foolish enough to just hang around deserve better then this,we must stand against these motherfuckers it is imperative “Our City Matters”
Chicagoans are literally hostages in their own city. Granted most of of the shootings are limited to certain geographic areas but the predators are ever expanding their hunting areas. It’s kind of like the Coronavirus, you can take all kinds of precautions to prevent yourself from getting it. But it’s that one time you're unlucky and get exposed. And you may not be the target of these shooters but get caught in the crossfire. They are shooting at places they didn't before like, the expressways, Lake Shore Drive, River North, Lincoln Park, the Loop and many others. You could be doing that outdoor dining in River North and get mowed down. Now Lightfoot and Pritzker are not worried about you getting shot during your outdoor dining they are worried about you and the restaurant staff keeping proper social distancing because if you don’t they will come after you and the restaurant. They will close the restaurant, fine them and pull their business license. And what about the shooters? You really can’t close them down because if caught they get an I bond, the State’s Attorney will plea the case down to littering on the public way and then the courts give them supervision and tell them, see you again real soon.
Trump has offered the help of the Federal government to the Mayor stop the violence but she won’t accept it because it would make her look incompetent and it would be against the goals of our radical far left Democratic Party. In fact they blame Trump for the violence. Look for the violence to get worse before the election. They need the disorder and confusion to get their Presidential corpse candidate over the finish line until the surprise radical VP Candidate grabs the reins of power from him.
What species of savage goes out and lights up 3 little girls on a CTA street exit at 9 pm? Slim Charles say "String murda ain't no thing" but this kinda shit makes no sense.
Meh. No one cares. Was having dinner with a lady friend who works for Millennium Park and she didn’t even know about it. Can’t even find any video of the 1st District running around Grant Park trying to find the shooters (putting themselves in harm’s way as we usually do). Now if a white police officer beat an active resistor there would be dozens of videos. The citizens hate the police more than the criminals. Truth. Give them want they want...nothing.
Would that be a 15 year old Banger by any chance they do start them early in the community.
001 and 018 is turning more into a dump every single night. It’s only a matter of time before residents and business leave.
Major problem with downtown hotels. They always call the police after they find 30 m/f/1s packed into a single hotel room. They rooms cost less than 100 dollars nowadays and these hotels let these kids up to the rooms blindly.
At least they were social distancing? Hopefully wearing masks?
Are you sure it wasn't from the census cowboys gun?
You know accidental discharge.
Columbus Drive and the hotels are both a couple blocks in opposite directions from the skate park. Was this a running gun battle. Also, it is a regular occurrence that south and west siders come to "party" themselves on Columbus Drive near the fountain. Hard beverages and blunts of choice are consumed freely with no fear of being stopped.
Everybody settle down please, settle down.
This will all be fixed with police reform and by the consent decree.
Know how you can tell the kid wasn't the intended target?
He got hit.
They need to go back to teaching marksmanship in school.
Then again if the CPS were in charge of it the kids would probably have even worse aim.
Plus the kids would have to actually show up at school to learn anything from the class.
9 times out of 10 pepole hitting what they are aiming at is a good thing, even when shitheads are pulling the trigger.
I would rather shithead A take out shithead B instead of grandma or some little kids.
If he manages an obviously fatal shot so thousands aren't wasted at the hospital, even better.
When one of these bums opens fire on a cop I am glad they can't hit the broadside of a burning barn.
But were both parties practicing social distancing?
There was a time when parties like this were not allowed on Michigan Ave.
They were relegated to the Zanzibar Hotel.
A simpler time.
NBC 5 ‘news’ states that a ‘group of guys’ did the shooting. Call 911 is you spot a ‘group of guys.’ Then they switch a White teenager in the skating board skateboarding. Guess they want you to do the Chicago math that ‘group of guys’ plus ‘White skateboarder’ equals ‘’group of White skateboarding guys.’ The equation falls apart when the 15 year old gets transferred to Comer’s Children Hospital.
I thought parties were illegal in Groot's Chicago lest the Covid monster get you?
Well there you have it.
A group of people partying at a hotel just had to resort to gunplay to resolve their differences.
The group probably consisted of people who couldn’t find jobs, couldn’t get a good education, lived in a food desert, had neighborhoods strewn with litter,,,,or just a bunch of asshats.
No it’s not ending anytime soon, hands off approach is not working too well as a mayor, when you have a crook county states attorney that refused to do her job you have judges who are where in the hell are they at vacation for the last six months never doing their jobs total corruption but that again that’s what Democrats do. The greatest president we’ve ever had president Donald Trump is going to make an announcement next week God willing will be to send it federal authorities into the city of Chicago New York Los Angeles and all the other corruption filled Democratic cities, hopefully it will be to also route out the corruption in the political establishment and lock up these pieces of shit that are causing all of this chaos all the terrorist we have throughout the city lock them up, Chicago Police Department will help just ask the so called shuffling bosses is they can go fuck themselves!
Luke McCoy Says:
We need Trump to step in and stop a lot of this shit. Current Communist Chicagoland Political Leadership is not even close to working properly. The city is truly falling apart by the week, with no end in sight. Please President Trump, step in and take charge. We want to live and be happy in nice neighborhoods to raise our children, not this bloody Combat Zone. We need Trump, not Lightfoot , Madigan, Prekwinkle, and Pritzker, and their band of Communist Losers.
Park district: Put Snooks on the case
The Grant Park skate park has been the cause of continual issues in this community. During the lockdown when the skate park was supposedly closed, groups of red line raiders filled the ark and continued and constant calls to Sophia King, the 001 Caps Officer, then Burke clouted commander Pigott and now clout baby alderen they have been totally unresponsive to numerous calls from the community on a variety of public safety and quality of life issues. Alderen has even blocked me from sending him emails. The skate park has been the site of drug deals, gang banging, drinking and those who come off the Roosevelt el harass, push down and cause problems in the community. Sophia King a strong supporter of Kim Foxx and has let the neighborhood be destroyed by the permanent victim class feral predators. Also it was reported in CWB that the CPD supervisor on the scene wanted the report to be listed as found property in order to phony the shooting statistics. Allegedly the report was changed when the boy was taken to northwestern. Michael Kelly has also been unresponsive to the crime at the skate park as he is a total Lori suck ass also enabling her feral predators that are destroying this community. His patronage security patrols do absolutely nothing. King and her permissive pro crime restorative justice program must be forced to resign.
Grant Park?! The “jewel” of the city. Last week a guy was stabbed to death at the park, this week a kids get shot at the same location. Downtown is lost.
Mayor Census da Senseless, Pack your bags and let Trump take over. You are a clueless Dingbat, Lori. Let Trump take over so he can fix this shit before hundreds more are killed. Get out of the way already, you Dolt.
The Feral youth just happened to out at 10:30 pm. Whether he was wearing a mask or not is undetermined. I’m sure it will be revealed in the Supp next month.
Says after Heard Shots-Felt Pain....he ran’t home.
Not sure of the residential zone situation around Grant’s Park (to be renamed?) but the Armed feral shooters supposedly ran’t back to a hotel? Was it one of those Larri’s Covid’s Extended Stay Free Hotels?
Party on a Tuesday.
Larri LightFührer has tough words for everyone except the violent armed feral youth. Larri threatens to shut the City to taxpayers again, but to only those who actually are lucky enough to have jobs. Covid’s plague fake numbers are on the rise, so the science says.
FU

Very poor conflict resolution skills and even poorer impulse control.
Now, kees me you fool!!!!

Down town and the Lake Front are lost to the citizens because the Community's gunslingers run it. Another reason the Little Shit mayor doesn't want it opened. More would be killed. This city is so fucked up its beyond repair. The Socialist Democrats are determined to ruin the city in every way possible. She and her socialist friends are doing a great job. Sad no one gives a shit.
Remember when going downtown was for a “classy” evening, a nice stroll, to look at the beautiful Christmas windows or architecture, take in a museum.. Not anymore. We didn’t have money when I was a kid. My mom would or aunt take us on the train there. We never did much more than walk, stop for a sandwich somewhere or go to a museum on a free day. I’ve seen downtown on a down slide for about 10 years, but with rapid pace, this mayor has put it on pace to be nothing but a place from which any wise person stays away.
Years ago when the wilding started on the beaches, they put out ot teams on it to try to curb the violence. Many coppers in 018 and 001 told anyone who would listen, if we lose the lakefront and Michigan Avenue, the city is done. Now, years later, many have forgotten this, just as they've forgotten crowd control and small unit tactics, and 001 and 018 are paying the price. But, what do I know? This is only my opinion and I wear a blue shirt.
more and more of the animals venturing out into the civilized parts of Chicago and bringing their wild and unchecked ways with them.I used to so love going downtown on a warm Summer night, heading over to the Palmer House and spending some time at the huge bar before heading to the Italian Village for dinner. Not any more. Even when this pandemic ends, there is no way in hell that I will venture downtown, not until Chicago has a new mayor and a new prosecutor who really takes this crime issue seriously. New York is in the same boat. Before Deblasio was mayor I used to travel there for long weekends of great dining and entertainment. Glad I had that experience before the liberals ruined the city.

The hotel rooms downtown and on the Gold Coast are hurting since the end of business travel. During business season, these rooms are $350 plus a night. In the Summer, the cost drops a bit, but they still liked to gouge the tourists, but weekend deals were always available. Now? I have not asked about price, but I do know that the mayor has been renting hundreds of rooms in these hotels to house the homeless and drug addicts. Anything is possible

The communerty dont care. Why should you. Cats, dogs, chillins all of it, you better learn to deflect the carnage or it’ll consume you. Worry about you and blue only not communerty’s chillrins. It’s dog eat dog and city hates you.
6 out of 12 cars down on midnights on a Saturday night in 001. 2 of 6 on posts. What could go wrong?
with 018 and 001 having the dipshit twins as commanders not much is going to change They have no street experience so can't manage a district
Maybe Groot & Brown will show and give the kid some free
Pocky as the cameras roll. Man what a treat!
I survived Groot's Chicago.
My, how the page has turned.
When Eddie got busted by Trump, Groot was riding high.
Looks like E.J. went on a marathon smoke-in and played
Dr. John albums non stop. He sure put the voodoo on Groot.
Gris Gris Groot. Enjoy your retro.
Doesn't even make the news anymore......
But the Census Cowboy did!
We should pass a Law, 16yo and older for gang banging.
Nothing Trump can do. Only Marshall Law will do it and he needs Congress for that.
And Congress needs the hysteria, the murda, and fake news to take the White House back. All will be good again with Dingbat Joe in. Read up on Posse Comitatus.
These teens getting shot are mostly gangbangers...
No sympathy whatsoever...
With the killing season in high gear and 400 kills under their belt and 2000 shootings, the predators are expanding their hunting grounds. The blood lust is ever there and must be quenched. The Kill Zone is expanding north and moving rapidly.
The Murder Queen places her little hands under her enormous frumpy ass and sits on her 5th floor thrown and lectures on the dangers of China Virus and threats of lock down. The Court laughs behind her back and the surfs mocks her cowboy ways.
It done grazed he head.
Bullets graze, man. They buzz. They cool, man.
Bullets graze, man.

Okay first when and if it ever becomes time to take back the streets expect a long and brutal battle. Yep I said battle because this is and will be war. The Mayor and all these politicians want to point the finger at everyone but look in the mirror. Keep babysitting and letting these fools think that their shit don't stink and they will get bolder and bolder with their crime's. Maybe we should say nothing because if it continues Lightfoot will definitely be a one and done mayor. Why would all these citizens pay thousands of dollars to live downtown just to be a crime victim
"Glad I had that experience before the liberals ruined the city."
I know someone who got attacked and robbed by a liberal just the other day.
The census cowboy and maybe a posse of "social workers" can put a stop to this madness!
God I wish Kayleigh McEnany was the Chicago mayor. Doesn’t take any crap, great speaker, super sharp, and enjoyable to watch. Would make a great leader in Chicago. Unfortunately we’re stuck with Lightfoot. How many children are going to be killed before you ask the president for some assistance Lori, 100, 200. Very sad.
And just now a 5 month baby shot. But mayor is focused on keeping beaches closed & fining restaurants. This city has crossed the line of no return.
Reporters fuel this carnage, when do they get to sample the fruits of their labor? Can't believe they still even try to run interference for the murder prone Utes.
If you think this is close to being bad now, visualize it 1000% worse under a Creepy Joe Biden presidency.
Just have the savages take over Maggie Daley Park. The Daley family should be honored that ‘the kids’ are rioting, drinking, drug dealing, tourist terrorizing and smoking weed in her park.
"I have not asked about price, but I do know that the mayor has been renting hundreds of rooms in these hotels to house the homeless and drug addicts. Anything is possible

Sadly, we are well into the "Hotel Destruction Syndrome" I have seen work so unfailingly elsewhere.
There will always be a need for "one small room," so they are being eliminated as rapidly as possible. Once the law decreed that absolutely anyone who shows up there gets in, the process rolls. Today, so many hotels are...old postcards.
