So Many "Isolated" Incidents

Remember, these are "isolated" incidents that happen on average about two or three times a week:

• A gunman shot two women during an armed robbery in the West Loop overnight, police said.

  The two victims were standing in the 600 block of West Randolph Street around 12:50 a.m. when the gunman exited a white SUV and approached them, according to a CPD media statement. He demanded their property, took a purse from one woman, then opened fire, striking both women, police said.

  A 21-year-old woman suffered a gunshot wound to the knee and was taken to Northwestern Memorial Hospital in good condition. A 33-year-old woman was taken to Rush Hospital with a graze wound to her hip, CPD said.

Too bad we don't have the old "decoy" guys like J. F. or the Second Deputy who would be undercover playing the part of the unaware victim and then "neutralizing" the offender.They would have put a dent in some of these crime numbers.
