Third Mass Shooting

But hey, don't send any free assistance to help out:

• A person of interest was taken into custody after five people were wounded in a shooting early Monday in the Oakland neighborhood on the South Side.

  Officers responding to a call of a large disturbance heard gunfire nearby and found the five victims around 1:05 a.m. in the 3600 block of South Cottage Grove Avenue, according to Chicago police.

  [...] Four guns were found at the shooting scene and a “person of interest” was taken into custody, police said.

Up to 9 dead and 47 wounded as of Monday evening....maybe more by the time this gets published. 

Question for Conehead, Fata$$, the usual communists and media:

• how many dead, wounded and maimed minorities is the acceptable threshold? 

We're just wondering, because they seem to be getting fed up with your incompetence.

Memorial Park Dedicated

A fitting gesture:

• More than 200 people gathered in Garfield Ridge on Sunday afternoon, a sea of blue — including many wearing “Garfield Ridge Strong” shirts — for the unveiling of a statue in honor of fallen Chicago Police Officer Ella French.

  Elizabeth French, Ella’s mother, was brought to tears as she and Officers Carlos Yanez Jr. and Joshua Blas — who were with Ella French the night she was killed — unveiled the statue in Wentworth Park, shortly before the crowd sang “Happy birthday” on what would have been the fallen officer’s 34th birthday.

  Elizabeth French said the statue “captured the beauty and essence of Ella” and was “healing.” The statue sits near a dog park bearing the animal-loving officer’s name.

  But like any parent who has suffered such a loss: “You’d rather have your child,” she said.

RIP Officer.

National FOP Taking Steps

Things happening behind the scenes (click for larger versions):

 

That explains why the FOP logo disappeared from the UCOPS website and was replaced by a facsimile of the CPD star....which is also a violation of Chicago's ownership of said image. We'll see if Corp Counsel makes some waves over there.

In the meantime, don't forget to attend the General Meeting on 17 September at 1900 hours to vote down the By-Law proposals that would essentially strip you of National Membership and representation without a single debate or vote.

The next breakdown is literally days away!

6 and 12? Hahahahaha

We predicted six dead, twelve wounded, naively supposing cool weather and the desire for the non-demonized to be fully involved in a weekend worth of homework and perchance, enjoying the "Bike the Drive" event, might keep the numbers down. Well, when SCC misses, we miss bigly!

There are still twenty-nine hours or so to go this holiday weekend and HeyJackass.com has the totals so far:

• six dead, thirty-seven wounded

Even the national media has noticed something is going on in Chicago:

• At least five people have been killed and 30 others injured in shootings across Chicago over Labor Day weekend, including a drive-by attack that left seven victims wounded late Saturday night, according to police.

  The violent holiday weekend came as President Donald Trump renewed threats to send federal agents and National Guard troops to Chicago over the objections of Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson.

  Trump on Saturday sent a warning to the Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker in a post on his social media platform, referencing recent crime in Chicago and saying Pritzker "better straighten it out, FAST, or we're coming!"

Oh, and there wasn't one "mass shooting." There were two....including one just a block or two away from Headquarters:

• Seven people were wounded in a shooting late Saturday night in Bronzeillve less than a mile away from Chicago Police headquarters on the South Side.

  Around 11:10 p.m., a group of people were standing in the 3500 block of South State Street when a vehicle drove by and someone inside opened fire, Chicago police said.

Can you believe that a governor in a blue state shithole with the homicide capital of the nation is turning down free help from the federal government? How much effort would it take to let the feds run around enforcing national laws regarding ILLEGAL ALIENS for two weeks (or even a full month) and then bask in the reflected glory of any reduction of crime? In the unlikely event that there is no measurable impact, then you can gloat and run for president. 

Thanks Again Crimesha

Close....but not quite close enough:

• A man accused of flashing gang signs and pointing a gun at another man in a McDonald’s parking lot two years ago, only to get shot in the head because the other man was an off-duty Chicago police officer, just got a little salt in his wound: an 18-month prison sentence for illegally possessing the firearm.

  But, with more than 1,000 days of credit built up from time in jail and on electronic monitoring, 27-year-old Carlos Negrete isn’t expected to serve a single day in prison. 

He will have spent a tiny bit of time in County, plus the SAFE-T Act ensures he get credit for electronic monitoring (which is a joke). But no hard time in an actual prison.

And (surprise!) he wasn't a stranger to the "justice" system:

• A jury convicted Negrete on July 31 of aggravated unlawful use of a weapon and aggravated unlawful use of a weapon with a threat of violence, but acquitted him of aggravated assault. On Thursday, Judge Steven Watkins imposed the 18-month sentence with 1,185 days of credit.

  At the time of the shooting, Negrete was already on bail for another felony gun case. Prosecutors dropped that matter in November 2024.

This turns out to have been one last "F#$% you" from Crimesha to the Police. That other charge that could have added a few well deserved years to his sentencing was dropped in November 2024 as Crimesha left office. O'Neal-Burke wasn't sworn in until December 2024, by which time, any sentencing enhancements fell into the cracks.

These Idiots

Thanks to all who sent these in.
