A Gun a Day

From a few days ago - the CWB blog:

  • Prosecutors have filed felony charges against two men who allegedly carried guns during a brawl that stretched between a pair of Mag Mile department stores on Friday afternoon.

    The charges come as 18th District cops seize an average of one gun per day on or near the landmark retail strip during December — including three firearms recovered on Sunday afternoon.

    Around 2:20 p.m. Friday, police responded to multiple calls of two large groups brawling on the fourth floor of Neiman Marcus, 737 North Michigan. Some of the 911 callers reported seeing a handgun displayed, and people yelling, “he has a gun.”

    Before police arrived, one of the groups ran out of the store and entered Saks Fifth Avenue across the street.

    Cops arrested two men inside Saks for allegedly possessing illegal firearms. And one of the men is also charged with identity theft for allegedly carrying Illinois unemployment debit cards and bank debit cards bearing other people’s names.

Guns and financial crimes. Pretty soon he'll be wearing a suit and running a bank.

Cuffed for identity theft and carrying unemployment benefits debit cards. Those are the cards that Pritzker’s IDES is sending out to any thief that applies for one in someone else’s name. Cards come in loaded with thousands on them. Woohooo, gonna party tonight.

Pritzker can’t stop IDES from doing this because he’s too incompetent, stupid and fat.

If he’s going to steal by wearing a suit and tie, why not go into a profession
where the real $$$$ is to steal. Be a Illinois Governor, Congressman, or a
Chicago Mayor or Alderman. He’s halfway there with his IR and FBI numbers,
But with his lifestyle, hopefully his next number will be issued by the Cook County
Medical Examiner on his Toe Tag.

The only way a description of the offenders would have made it into an article written by Chicago press would be if the offenders were white.

The longer we accept this subtle racism as normalcy the faster we surrender our dignity. I should not be ashamed of how I was born. If the news wants to describe every white felon, it needs to apply regardless of race. I’m tired of this new narrative subliminally brainwashing my kids to believe that white people are bad and everyone else is simply misunderstood or a victim who is entitled to commit crime.

When people don’t get punished for crime this is what you get. I’m wonder what the media’s reaction will be when a tourist gets murdered on the Mag Mile. Will the media start to dig deep and see what some of these crimes are and how many people arrested are already on bond , probation or parole ? Kim Foxx continues to release violent criminals everyday in the name of social justice. It’s just a matter of time that the Mag Mile has a national news event with one of these individuals that should be in custody but is not.

Gang fight on the 4th floor of Neiman Marcus? On 7th floor of Saks? Mayor Lightfoot, Kim Foxx, Judge Evans, say bye-bye to high-end retail and the many tourist-customers that these high-fashion retailers brought to Mag Mile area. The socialites and CEOs aren't shopping at Mag Mile department stores anymore - I'd expect NM, Saks, Nordstrom, and Macy all to vacate and abandon their large stores here. Better to hold-out for customers coming to Oak Brook for their high-end shopping. Ditto for the Oak Street designer stores, tired of the looting, exhausted by the shoplifting, disgusted by the gangbangers scaring-off the deep-pocket former customers. Bye-bye!

Absolutely disgraceful that gangbangers now feel so empowered as to bring their "business" to Mag Mile area. We old ladies once were safe enough while we strolled Mag Mile and shopped the various stores. No more. Don't see any nicely-dressed white-haired ladies shopping here along the newly-established "Combat Zone"; we're all hiding-out in our Streeterville and Gold Coast condos, shopping on-line, waiting for the delivery guy to bring the essential goods.

These ghetto gangbangers feel absolutely entitled to act-out their micro-aggressions in the public forum, amongst the shocked upstanding citizens they rarely otherwise interact with. These gangbangers' supposed wounded self-worth which apparently drives them to random acts of violence, their supposed sense of moral defeat due to "systemic racism", their supposed victimization-rationalization, cause danger to everyone here in Chicago, innocent or not. Our SJW politicians should realize they've created a perfect storm situation, one that absolutely endorses incivility and criminality, to create dangerous social dynamics that directly impact the tax-base that elects and funds these SJW's existence. We're facing a spiral to "lowest common denominator", meaning mob rule, no grades for students, no consequences for crimes committed, and a constant chatter that "white privilege" created this combat zone.

Nope, not my fault, not my responsibility to fix - Just like the high-end retailers, I'm moving out too, as soon as my condo sells!!!

I got an IDES card in the mail in July- even though I had not applied and was not unemployed. After repeated attempts to call IDES, I gave up and called my state rep. The lady there said it was a huge problem statewide-thousands were scammed. She gave me a direct number to call and report it- said I would be charged for thousands of dollars if I had not reported it. IDES took my info and said someone had my DOB, SSN, etc and had filed under my name. I never heard back. That was five months ago and I hear this scam is still going on. I have not heard of any arrests. Is IDES doing anything about this?

Any chance of US Attorney bringing Federal charges pursuant to Gun Control Act of 1968 ( 18 USC 922 et seq) as Felon in Possession of a Firearm? This assumes ( probably correctly) that the Member of the Communerty arrested for Possession also has a previous Felony Conviction— Federal or State or Tribal Nation.

My experience is that, before “ getting their lives together” and becoming a “ role model” and being a “ good boy who ain’t done nothing” , many Members of the Communerty have at least one Felony Conviction.

“ landmark retail strip”.
Stripped of retail, tourism, revenue, residents, visitors. Landmark is now a skid mark.

It’s amazing these itinerate violent armed thugs manage to find they’adversaries in the middle of department stores, smack dab in the center of the third largest city in America on a Sunday afternoon and again on a Thursday, right after they’lunch hour. Incredible.

Give ShortShanks his props, his decades of scheming really built up downtown, even Rahm had visions of a City of Lights and other showcase improvements lined up.
The angry and irritated bowel dwarf tree toad managed to take down an entire city in less than a year while hitched at the rear end of the restorative justice bandwagon.

Gun of the Day/Week.
I think the NRA and Brownell’s does a weekly blog feature like that.
Maybe 018 can highlight some of their found property recoveries, like a bio, specs, embellishments, etc.

Too little too late for Pat O’Brien but he should have been campaigning a bit more in the downtown Wards on these gun thug matters.
Downtown residents haven’t had enough. But they’ll see what’s left once the beach and lakefront is allowed to reopen next Spring.

Bought my first hand gun the other day and it was a weird feeling. Waiting 4 months to get my FOID card and from what the gun shop owner said Biden is not going to take away our guns but rather tax the hell out of us to buy a gun. He equates it to how cigarettes are taxed in Illinois. He also said you will be soon limited to one gun per month.

If you are a first time gun owner, I suggested before purchasing a handgun, go to the range (Oak Forest) and you can try our several different handguns to see what you like and can handle. If your kids are old enough, teach them about gun safety and how to shoot a gun.

Guns will be a valuable currency soon and the shelves are getting bare and bullets are getting hard to come by. The minute ammunition comes in to the stores in the morning (9mm for me) they are gone in a minute of hours. Check the stores early in the morning and you might be lucky to get ammunition.

Hope to never use them but with "mob rules" signal from the Supreme Court, we have no other choice. As long as there is fear of guns, the Communists cannot take over our cities without a fight.

Merry Christmas

These thugs are destroying the city and some of the suburb shopping area. But, it must be their objections to white privilege and systemic racism. Because of their objections they refuse to finish school or to look for a legitimate job or just to get off of their dead ass on the neighborhood porch to be a productive member of society. Just have more babies with girls that they have no intention of marrying or supporting and making gang banging youtube videos

This stuff used to happen in street/alley, now they come to Loop to do it inside high-end stores.

Research will turn up a new concept, "taking up space," especially "taking up luxury space." Not just city, but the outdoors - woods and so forth - are now considered to be "inherently racist."

It is imperative to get to all these places to throw things, shout, stand around.

Seriously.

Mag Mile stores need to adopt the Costco/Sam's Club membership model. You'll need a $25 membership card to get in...but this one is refundable toward any purchases. Or perhaps they can all start serving booze, to keep out the under 21 riff raff. It'll keep out community youths from funnin' in the upscale aisles, and shoplifting will be practically eliminated. Of course, the usual suspects will call it "racist", no matter that the fee applies to all races.

Hater columnist Charles Blow of NYTimes writes blacks are arming themselves with guns in record numbers because they are deathly afraid of living in a white racist society with murderous racist police who fail to protect them. Here's the reality check: Vast majority of blacks are murdered by other blacks. Check your facts, Charlie.
