Crime is Down?
We're beginning to have our doubts.
Maybe it's the ages of crime victims that are down?
A family had simply pulled over to find a house where they were to meet an out-of-town guest when a 16-year-old on probation for armed robbery walked up to the driver’s side, took a shooting stance and opened fire, leaving their 12-year-old son with a fractured skull, bullet fragments on his brain and temporarily paralyzed, prosecutors say.
The pulled over in the 900 block of North Leamington to locate the address around 6:45 p.m. on February 3, prosecutors said. The 12-year-old was in the backseat next to his 1-year-old sibling. As the father searched for the house, he saw Nasir Pitts approach on the driver’s side and take a shooting stance, according to a detention filing.
The father screamed for the family to get down as Pitts allegedly fired five shots, striking the boy in the head. Prosecutors said the father sped away from the scene while the mother called 911. Officers and paramedics caught up with them and transported the boy to a hospital, where doctors found a fractured skull and bullet fragments in his brain. He suffered temporary paralysis and continues to receive treatment, the detention filing said.
The sixteen-year-old shooter was ::surprise!:: on probation for an armed robbery....committed when he was fourteen.
The twelve-year-old victim wasn't the youngest crime victim by the way:
A young girl was among three people shot Wednesday on the city's South Side, Chicago police said. All three victims were reported to be in good condition after escaping with their lives from what appeared to be a barrage of bullets.
The shooting happened just after 4:45 p.m. in the Lake Meadows Shopping Center at East 35th Street and South King Drive i n Chicago's Bronzeville neighborhood, right outside Baskin Robbin's and Subway restaurants.
The victims, an 8-year-old girl, a 28-year-old woman and a 24-year-old man, were at the location when a dark-colored SUV approached and at least one person fired shots at them from the vehicle, police said.
The girl was shot in the foot, the woman was shot in the knee, and the man had multiple gunshot wounds, including to his arm and chest. CPD said. They were all taken to hospitals and were reported to be in good condition.
At least we're not New York....yet. A seven-MONTH-old in a stroller caught a stray round and died Wednesday.

Remember all the phony outrage 8-10 years ago when the baby in a car seat got shot in the McDonald's drive thru? Yep, more gun laws, taxing individual bullets etc will fix this? LOL Such a joke, every solution but the obvious - consequences for committing crimes.
Sadly, stay tuned, we're rapidly approaching NYC. Terrible.
Brandon Johnson's violence
plan continues. Lets thank the Governor as well for his support!
Shooting up again. Just horrible!
I’m sure glad crime is down. It makes my job easier. Everyone should be happy.
If crime goes down any further we will all be out of a job. Is that good?
Life is cheap out there folks, keep your eyes open at all times...
yet the most important thing the mayor can do is name a city plow truck "abolish ice" after yet another innocent victim is gunned down by the criminals he and the dems are always trying to protect
That side of 35th St. used to be considered the safe side.
Now, kees me you fool!!!!
All offenders and victims are democrats so IDGAF and neither should you, unless of course you're a democRAT then cry me a river loser.
Only to be released again under the Safety Act.
Oh this wouldn't have happened if there were more "Don't shoot! I wanna grow up!" billboards in the city. I'm going to call the Hyde Park alderman and see if U of Chgo. can pay for them.
These are Brandon’s Chicago values
So true.
To funny! We became the maytag repairman. More free time and nothing to do. Why adjust manpower if crime is down and nothing is going on. Interesting. With all my down time I’ll give it some thought.
With all the crime down why not shrink the size of the force?
I get tired of driving around for eight hours.
Be careful several politicians were blaming police for all the people shot and all the violence.
There’s no where safe. This is Chicago you’re talking about.
Saves me a lot of time. No one ever goes to court and victims just move along after seeing the whole thing was a waste of time.
When Will This Sh*t Stop?

There has only been two murders in my small, red town since 1921. Both were outsiders. Both were quickly caught. Weird, huh?
Perhaps a community outreach program to improve the shooting skills of CAPS officers and bad guys with bad aim.

This shooting means one thing. It’s time to name another Street Cleaner. You know , something anti-ICE . That’s Brandon’s crime solution.
Just wondering, but did mom and pop cooperate with the detectives ?
Mr. Ya'llbe and Ms. Mmmmmhhhmmm say: It be the ghost of Yummy Sandifer comin' back.
Actually, reported crime is down.
Folks don't bother making reports.
{Yawn} This is what Chicago and Cook County residents voted for. Make no mistake, Brandon Johnson and every pear-shaped blue-haired Democrat is on the side of this 16 year-old psychopath. And if you point out the increase in violent crime so far this year they just shrug and say "well crime in red states is still higher" and "the police and ICE are the real criminals". So if they don't care why should we? Look, Laugh, Leave
That area has been a shoot em up hell hole since the '60s when blood cis were getting broken up for fear of ferals moving it. Beard and don't want her used to go door to door, hold up a photo of the new nextdoor neighbors and the good folk fled else where. They were masters at block busting.
Two more "head in the sand" imbeciles thinking they can just stop in Chicago to look for an address.... Definitely NEW here.
And that 9 yr old stone cold assassin right there is why no one ought to be stopping their car in a neighborhood "lookin for an address"...
Murder should be rewarded, not punished - and certainly not prevented!

We'd be as well off if Yummy Sandifer had survived to become mayor...
When you stop voting for Democrats
...and this is just as it should be, right?
Prosecutors: Wisconsin Woman Fatally Shot 61-Year-Old Former Co-Worker for Being a Trump Supporter

Sure enough!
A seven-month-old baby girl was left dead after an alleged illegal migrant opened fire in New York City’s South Williamsburg neighborhood.
The incident occurred at around one p.m. on Wednesday as the mother of little Kaori Patterson-Moore was pushing the child down the sidewalk in a stroller only to be met by a hail of bullets, WABC-TV reported.
New York Councilwoman Vickie Paladino is insisting that the suspect arrested for the crime is an illegal alien likely with a long rap sheet and who has been constantly shielded from prosecution by New York City’s sanctuary policies.
“This is what zero enforcement does,” Paladino wrote in an April 1 post to X.

Spot on. If an officer lays a hand on that 16 year old "child" it would be national news and another 8 hour block of training. It's always that the police are the problem. Let them deal with their "pets".
Yes indeed. Not prime real estate in that area with "showings" for potential buyers...
