Yet Another "Takeover"

Farther south this time:

  • Crowds prompted a large police response at a South Side beach after reports of plans for a teen takeover there on Monday night.

    Police are working to disperse groups of people at 57th Street Beach, which is near Hyde Park.

    The Office of Emergency Management and Communications said there is heavy traffic on northbound DuSable Lake Shore Drive at East 57th Drive. OEMC asked drivers to take an alternate route.

    This comes after the University of Chicago Police Department said it received information about a possible teen trend gathering at the beach planned for Monday at 6 p.m. UCPD said additional staff would be in the area.

They're publicizing these things on social media. CPD used to have a unit that monitored social media for EXACTLY these types of incidents. Of course, it is about as useful as that commercial regarding crime "monitors" if you don't have units available to do anything about it. Back in the day, we had SOS, TRU, MSF and a system for mobilizing tactical/gang teams citywide. Now? 

Did Conehead make it go away because it unfairly demonized the undemonizable?

How much effort would it take to set up a couple CFD trucks with spray nozzles to mist the crowds? Nothing illegal or forceful about a gentle rain shower and certainly no TRRs. Maybe hand out bars of soap, too. They'd go home if they were soaking wet.

Someone else suggested a fleet of thirty or forty tow trucks on standby. If you're taking their wheels, they're leaving the neighborhood. Curfew ordinances aren't working, but vehicle impounds might make a serious dent in the misbehavior, PLUS they couldn't run over five cops at a time.

The City Council is making the usual useless noises:

  • Some Chicago City Council members are gearing up to take on parents of teens who get arrested during illegal takevovers past curfew.

    The proposal comes as the city reels from a takeover on the Near West Side that nearly turned deadly for a number of police officers Sunday morning.

    [2nd Ward Aldercreature Brian Hopkins] says he and City Council colleagues are drafting an ordinance that would give police the tools to go after parents of teenagers who take part in illegal gatherings.

    “All that combined sends a strong message that we are no longer going to tolerate this kind of activity. We need the mayor to step up and stand with us on it. Tough talk is fine, but that doesn't seem to change anything," he said.

Let's be real - no one is going to hold parent(s) accountable. If that was an option, it would have been done years ago. Taxpayers would be far better off with some uncomfortable soaking wet teens or a boatload of impounds that go before hearing officers who are told in no uncertain terms that their jobs rely on liability findings like they did back in the glory days of sound impounds.

Going after the parents??? If you add the sprinklers and tows. It is possible to do 3 things at once and it might calm down these Fuckheads and they can take their funnin' ways to some other town. However, that would be solving a problem and we know the Dems will not do that, The money goes away.

On another note: Bob Woodson, an old Black Civil Rights activist, pointed out that for every dollar spent to help the poor, 70% goes to the "non-profits who "serve the poor". I'm thinking that's a bit conservative Bob.

Fire Truck Mist: no matter how gentle the arc, this would go worldwide as The Return of Bull Connor. Firehoses just have too much emotional weight.

Impounds: Who is going to protect the tow truck driver while he's trying to hook up amid yewts screaming "dat's mines!" and trying to pummel him or worse? The police. So this technique would accelerate the police-yewt confrontation everyone is trying to avoid. Eventually a PO will have to shoot one of the darlings when they're running at the tow driver with a tire iron or something, and that will hit the papers as "Police Kill Child For Parking Offense."

Maybe go low-tech: line up cars and wagons and turn on all the sirens? Add Noriega-style loudspeakers, blasting Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture (the neighborhood gunfire can take the place of the cannons). The place is going to be noisy either way - might as well have noise that makes the kiddies find somewhere else to go. And it's not the evil LRAD death ray.

You know how to stop this? Have Springfield pass a law that mandates all forms of welfare to the parents be suspended for at least 6 months minimum up to termination of all welfare (including section 8, CHA housing, Medicaid, SNAP, EBT) if their yute is a participant! That will get their attention.

The only parents held accountable are a few parents of active shooters and they're white. If we are going to be honest, black parents of these young criminals will never be held accountable because everyone will say it's racist even though it's not. The lack of accountability for black criminals in this country by politicians, the media and activists should actually be treated as criminal in nature.

If a commander of cpd directs the CFD to spray water it is a trr. If someone slips it is a potential lawsuit because the hazard was man made.
Solution——eliminate trr and bwc. We need to go back 30 plus years in order to handle the trouble makers properly.

Here is one Hyde Park genius who posted this on a facebook group.

Peter Rudofsky • Follow Pennsylvania, Virginia, New Jersey, and Michigan: It's happening in many places in shopping malls and shopping areas. I'm betting that, as usual, the Chicago police won't enforce any curfew laws tonight because that's what the mayor wants.

He then responds to another poster,

Peter Rudofsky • Follow
Mary S. Blanks: Yes, the police are handling things so beautifully that only 2 teens have been shot on 55th and Cornell so far. Its posted post in Hyde Park Neighborhood crime watch or the post about kids throwing rocks and jumping on cars on 55th Street. Yes, the police are handling things so beautifully.

Another delusional liberal that doesn’t grasp their part in the current state of affairs in democratic cities.

Speaking of a take over, what is going on with the dispatchers at the OEMC? Has anyone been fired? Someone asked this question in a previous discussion, “does the discharged loan have to be reported as income?” The answer is yes (for the majority of the dispatchers and everyone else who fraudulently obtained the loan or improperly used the loan proceeds). Mr. Tax Man, please set up shop at the Chicago OEMC to get your numbers, you will earn a promotion, rise through the ranks, and make a name for yourself. “She gone! You miss me long time?"

Does anyone here have some practical suggestions on what I should do with the MP High School student’s high school ID? I’ve tried to call the school but can’t seem to get a live person.
