About Those "Violence Preventers"

We guess being a creepy chomo isn't a particularly "violent" crime:

  • The founder of one of Chicago’s most high-profile youth violence prevention groups, who also works as a Chicago Public Schools counseling assistant, is sitting in the Cook County Jail after being charged with criminal sexual assault and grooming involving two 14-year-old girls.

    Prosecutors said Charles McKenzie, founder of Englewood First Responders who refers to himself as the “Mayor of Englewood,” was working for CPS at the time of the alleged incidents.

    The allegations span nearly a decade, with prosecutors accusing McKenzie of grooming one girl beginning in 2017, when she was 13 or 14 years old, and sexually assaulting another girl in March of this year. CWB Chicago is not identifying McKenzie’s relationship to the girls to protect their identities.

But it's still a bad look.

Oh, and look - he's a CPS employee.  

Wonder if he worked closely with Conehead?

I just love the Democrats posing with the scumbags, Pritzker with Kellen McMiller a peacekeeper who was arrested for first degree murder, burglary & theft for a smash & grab on the Mag Mile after his photo on Sep 5, 2025. Plenty of photos of other peacekeepers with Democrat politicians out there. The Feds need to follow the money in Chicago.

All these teachers need to be wearing body cams... Then when the evidence of their misdeeds are there, prosecute the shit out of them.

Maybe we should have about 7 oversight agencies for CPS/CTU?

Violence inturrputers. It's all a scam. You know it, we all know it.

Why? Two reasons: 1) It's all about the money. Taking tax dollalrs to pay cousins, uncles and brother in laws who couldn't get a job any other way.

2) It's another attempt to push this lie that "we need to root out wihte supremacy". Interesting it all backfires on these fools and suddenly they're quiet.

The entire violence interruptor program has been a scam cash grab since the beginning to give more money to the black community. Why has there been no articles on what groups get picked? What is the criteria? Do they even submit paperwork ? Hundreds of millions every year from the State and City. And who runs the biggest one? Arnie Duncan, Obama 1.5 wannabe.

I've posted comments before on your blog about the inappropriate behavior of a teacher that works at my school Richard Edwards located at 4800 S. Karlov by the name of Benjamin McDougal and nothing seems to happen to him. There were 6 official complaints made against him from students, and nothing was done, the investigator from CPS Justin Crayton refused to answer questions. It's been over a year and this Mcdougal perv still works at he school. He almost got fired 9 years ago after telling a group of teenage girls about his PORNOGRAPHIC MOVIE ADDICTION. I reported him myself and again nothing has happened, the principal, Raul Bermejo is useless and instead protects him. So, I do agree that there should be cameras in the classroom. My brother who is CPD loves the fact that he wears his BWC and will not go outdoors on duty without it. As a teacher, I welcome the idea.

Back in the day most people were ant-white supremacy. A white supremacist were those guys with nazi tattoos and like to wear their bed sheets. The democrats redefined the term. Critical race theory tells us that a white supremacist is a a person whose culture includes such racist things as showing up on time to, delayed gratification, being polite, and believing working hard leads to success. Today most white supremacist are Asian..

Anonymous Anonymous said...

According to the investigation, the offender is the founder and CEO of the Englewood First Responders violence prevention group and is also the stepfather of both victims.

During a forensic interview, a 14-year-old victim disclosed that the offender entered her bedroom, undressed her, kissed her, restrained her hands, and attempted to sexually penetrate her. A second victim disclosed that when she was approximately 11–13 years old, she participated in a recorded video involving Charles McKenzie, who who was positively identified as the person who exposed his erect p*nis and placed his hand on his erect p*nis and moved it around. Charles was approximately 25-27 years old during the incident.
