CWB Quick Hits
CWB doing most of the media heavy lifting these days.
First up, downtown isn't safe?
A concealed carry holder is among two people critically wounded in a shootout near the Magnificent Mile Monday night, Chicago police said. At least one person is in custody.
Witnesses said a group of people had gathered in the 800 block of North Dearborn Street, behind the Lawson House Apartments, when two men got into an argument that turned physical around 9:17 p.m.
The confrontation escalated when the two men, and potentially others, began shooting at each other, police said. A 34-year-old man was struck in the abdomen and taken to Northwestern Memorial Hospital in critical condition. A preliminary CPD report identified him as a licensed concealed carry holder. The other man, 37, suffered multiple gunshot wounds and was also listed in critical condition. He has a lengthy criminal record involving firearms. Court records show he was charged with unlawful use of a weapon by a felon in 2015, and he was subsequently charged with being an armed habitual criminal in 2017, 2021, and 2024.
Gee, all those "armed habitual" charges, but you know where he's not very habitual? Being held in prison.
- Chicago suffered a horrific Monday, with at least five murders reported within six hours citywide, nearly matching the number of slayings reported over the entirety of the just-concluded weekend. According to information released by CPD

And another Concealed Carrier prevents a crime:
A concealed carry holder shot a man who opened the window screen of her South Shore home during a burglary attempt early Tuesday morning, Chicago police said.
The 30-year-old man approached the woman’s home in the 1500 block of East 73rd Street around 4:50 a.m. and opened the screen while standing on her front porch, according to CPD. The 49-year-old woman, who was inside the home, armed herself and fired a shot, striking the man in the arm, police said.
He was apprehended later at the hospital

I used to think you could make a lot of money selling silk screen t-shirts, like, "In memory of pokey". For some reason I think ballistic vests kiosks might be more in order as the demand for not getting shot is growing. Michigan Ave, Gold Coast seems to be calling out for this. I would put the main kiosk near the Chicago & State Red Line station!
Crime is indeed down, But not in Coneheads world!
Will Bonehead and Fat Ass hold hands at the StateFair riding the big slide together? Don't bet on it FatAss can't climb the stairs to the top. Im going Thursday and if I see FatAss I'm going to send in some video. I have some questions he won't want to answer, Stay Tuned!
Sheriffs “ I ain’t no blue boy “
The Amish are out of control, DAMIT!!!
Shit, I often wait for the Northbound Clark bus right there! It's always filled with some really sketchy characters milling around, along with some rich people who go to the dog groomer located at the north end of the Lawson Building on the Dearborn side.
Keep the line moving.
Has it ever been safe to go into the loop?
but I believe those commercials with pwickster walking along the lake at 5 AM with his security detail out of the picture talking about how good he is, how crime is down and Trump is bad
The Lawson YMCA is filled with mentals , drug dealers and scum.
just another manic Monday...
Oh, those rich people feel so uncomfortable mixing with scum. Keep voting Democrat, you'll love what's next for you and your dog from the locals. Don't forget your bling, cell phone, and coin because you want to look your best when you meet them.
