Further Info on Shooting

Seems like a domestic that spilled out into the street?

• A man is in custody after allegedly shooting a Chicago police sergeant Saturday night on the city’s Far South Side, and investigators believe he also shot a 63-year-old woman nearby, according to preliminary information.

  The sergeant was traveling in a marked patrol car around 11:11 p.m. in the 11200 block of South Corliss Avenue in the Pullman neighborhood when a man in another vehicle fired shots in her direction, police said. A bullet struck the sergeant in the leg. Fellow officers transported her to Christ Hospital, where she was listed in good condition. The gunman fled the scene.

  Moments later, police received a call of a woman shot in the 11300 block of South Indiana Avenue. Officers said the 63-year-old victim was inside a residence when a known man shot her before fleeing. She sustained gunshot wounds to the foot and buttocks and was also taken to Christ Hospital, where she was listed in fair condition.

  Officers located a suspect at a nearby gas station and took him into custody. A firearm was also recovered at the scene. Police said the suspect admitted to shooting at the sergeant.

Still unclear if the sergeant was responding to the other shooting, or the offender shot the 63-year-old, then saw the police car driving by and just opened fire thinking that was a responding unit?

Good to hear the sergeant should physically recover.

Another Conehead Corpse

They bodies keep stacking up:

• A 29-year-old woman was found shot to death in a West Side alley Friday morning, becoming at least the 79th shooting victim who might have received faster police and EMS response had Mayor Brandon Johnson not disconnected Chicago’s gunshot detection network 18 months ago.

  The woman was found dead behind the 200 block of North Kilbourn around 6:30 a.m. The person who discovered her told police they believed they had heard gunfire approximately 30 minutes earlier, but they never called 911.

  In fact, one called.

  “We had no calls of shots fired anywhere in the area,” a police dispatcher confirmed over the radio. “I checked back to 4 a.m., and we had nothing.”

  “Another one for ShotSpotter,” an officer remarked.

The fact that no one in the neighborhood ever seems to call in "shots fired" is something that the media will never mention. Ever.

Except CWB. 

Happy St Paddy's Weekend

Stay off the CTA though:

• Two people were hospitalized after a stabbing in a CTA station in Chicago's Loop on Saturday evening, just hours after thousands were downtown for St. Patrick's Day celebrations.

  Around 8 p.m., after an earlier physical fight with a woman on the CTA platform at the Clark/Lake station, a 43-year-old woman and 23-year-old woman boarded a train. The woman also boarded the train and a second fight began, during which the 42-year-old and 23-year-old women were both stabbed in their arm and hand, the Chicago Fire Department said.

  The two women who were stabbed were taken to a local hospital, CFD said. They are both listed in good condition. The woman who stabbed them was taken into custody, authorities said. The investigation remains ongoing.

We'll just assume the overtime high-visibility initiative hasn't begun yet?

Endorsed by the Dead

Not only do the deceased vote in Chicago, they endorse politicians from beyond the grave:

• Throughout this campaign season, political candidates have been rolling out endorsements left and right. The Senate race has seen some big-name national players making appearances in recent days. But now, word has come that Rev. Jesse Jackson made an endorsement before he passed away.

  Lt. Gov. Juliana Stratton stumped in the Hyde Park neighborhood on Sunday afternoon at a veteran-owned bakery. She was joined by Sen. Tammy [Fuckworthless], who previously endorsed Stratton's campaign for U.S. Senate.

  But it was Stratton's announcement that Jackson had endorsed her before he died that is stirring some last-minute campaign controversy. Stratton said she found out from Betty Magnus at Rainbow PUSH on Saturday.

As a side note, the deceased revrund also endorsed SecondCityCop as his first media read every morning, followed by the CWB blog, and then - only after a trip to the sit on the porcelain throne - he checked out CNN, because they were most likely to mention him at some point.

See, we can do the fake bull$hit news, too. 

Still a War Zone

We don't know if anyone noticed, but there's a war going on in the Middle East....again. At last report, thirteen American service members have lost their lives since hostilities began on 28 February.

A sharp eyed reader let us know that during that same time period, twenty-five people have been murdered in Chicago.

We had our doubts, but HeyJackass.com has the March total at twenty so far. And if you go into the Tribune archives "homicide tracker," there were five homicides on 28 February by itself, meaning twenty-five is actually correct.

Sergeant Wounded Overnight

Very minimal reporting so far, but sounds like the sergeant will be okay:

• A Chicago police sergeant was shot on the city's Far South Side Saturday night, CPD said. The shooting took place at about 11:11 pm. In the 11200-block of South Corliss Avenue.

  Police said the sergeant was in a marked patrol car when the sergeant was struck in the leg by gunfire. The sergeant was able to transport himself to the hospital, where they were listed in good condition, police said.

  A suspect was taken into custody and a weapon was recovered, police said. Area detectives are investigating.

Speedy recovery wished to the Sergeant.

UPDATE: to the unpublished moron - the italicized article stating "himself" and "they"  was the media report, not us. Take it up with them misgendering and mis-pronouning the sergeant. Then go play in traffic.

This is Some Kind of Stupid

We got this from a couple different people (click for larger version):

Are you f#$%ing serious? 

Some copper actually fronted this ghetto mutt over $300, probably in an effort to avoid doing actual paperwork....and it bit them in the ass, BIG TIME.

But don't worry, their co-workers found out and proceeded to do one of the more amsuingr ball-bustings we've seen in quite a long time:

Well done. 

Crime is Still Down

And by "down," we mean "downtown:"

• A shoplifter shot a convenience store clerk in the Loop on Friday night, leaving the victim critically injured, Chicago police said.

  The shooting occurred at approximately 10:41 p.m. at the 7-Eleven at 191 West Adams Street, according to police and witnesses. CPD said an unidentified man entered the store, took items from the shelves, and walked out without paying. When the clerk confronted him outside the store, the suspect produced a gun and opened fire, police said.

  The 31-year-old victim was transported to Northwestern Memorial Hospital with gunshot wounds to his abdomen and back. CPD said he was in critical condition.

  Officers recovered three shell casings from the sidewalk in front of the store. Bullets also shattered the store’s glass door.

But don't think the rest of the city has gotten off that easily:

• Chicago police are investigating a series of armed robberies that swept through the River North neighborhood early Saturday, including a kidnapping in which two men drove a victim to three different convenience stores to withdraw cash from ATMs.

  That incident, the earliest reported of the night, began around 2 a.m. near the corner of Maple and Dearborn streets. According to a preliminary CPD report, two men lured the victim into a vehicle, displayed a gun, and then made a circuit of nearby stores, ordering him to withdraw cash from ATMs. They eventually released him in River North, but not before taking his phone. The suspects were described only as Black males.

CWB remains just about the only media outlet to provide accurate descriptions of actual offenders.

Remember this when you go to vote on Tuesday. 

"...rendered him no longer alive."

After the fourth islamic terror attack over the past two weeks, this amusing statement from the feebs regarding the Old Dominion shooting:

• The FBI said ROTC students were in the classroom when the gunman opened fire and stepped in, rendering him "no longer alive. Evans, the FBI special agent in charge, would not go into detail as to how the suspected shooter was killed, but said he was not shot. "They basically were able to terminate the threat," she said. 

Unfortunately, this was after he had already killed the instructor, a decorated veteran.

The deceased terrorist had previously been convicted in 2016 for attempting to provide material support to ISIS goat-sodomizers. He got twenty years, but was released by....the drooling vegetable's DoJ.

In the meantime, stay alert around sensitive government and religious institutions, along with petting zoos. 

Exempt Movement on Tap

Our spies tell us of a couple moves as Larritorious heads for the door:

• 1. Deputy Chief BCT to Chief of BCT.
  
  2. Commander 005 to Deputy Chief of Academy
  
  3. Deputy Chief of Academy to Deputy Chief A/5
  
  4. Lieutenant of Detail Unit to Commander
  
  5. Commander CCG to Deputy Chief CCG 

We don't have names to go with the moves. Readers can add them in the comments.

A few more are supposed to be on tap for 04 April.

Now the BIG question - does Larritorious delay the moves because word has leaked out? Or does he let them move forward and just admit that people can't keep secrets any more? 

Thirty-Three Years

Of course, he'll be out long before that:

• A man who shot two Chicago police officers after one of them saw a gun tumble from his pocket as he tried to pay for his order at a West Side hot dog stand was sentenced Friday to 33 years in prison.

  Kailon Harris-Caldwell, 28, pleaded guilty to two counts of attempted murder in exchange for concurrent 33-year terms handed down by Judge Thomas Byrne, according to court records.

  Prosecutors say the incident unfolded around 3:30 a.m. on March 4, 2022, when Harris-Caldwell reached into his pocket to pay for an order at Original Maxwell Street, 3801 West Harrison Street, as a Chicago police officer stood nearby. A handgun with an extended magazine fell from his pocket when he pulled his hand out.

  Harris-Caldwell picked up the gun and immediately fired at the officer’s head from close range, prosecutors alleged, leaving the cop with a graze wound. He then opened fire on the officer’s partner, who was seated in a marked patrol car in the restaurant’s parking lot. That officer was struck by a gunshot to the leg.

Last we had heard (correct us if mistaken) the one Officer was later promoted (by score) and the other one will never work as as the police again because of the resultant nerve damage and remaining bullet fragments.

This offender had jumped bail in Florida after using a rifle to shoot at sheriff deputies following a home invasion. 

Thirty-three years isn't even a good start. 

How Could This Happen??? (again)

 A parolee committing a crime? Unthinkable!

• A man on parole for armed robbery is now accused of pointing a gun at a 13-year-old’s head and threatening to shoot the child during a convenience store holdup in the Clearing neighborhood.

  Adam Butts, 37, was recently arrested and charged in connection with the December 28, 2024, robbery of a 7-Eleven store at 6754 West 63rd Street. Prosecutors said the robbery was captured on surveillance cameras.

How could a parolee, who was already caught with using a gun illegally - thereby rendering him incapable of ever legally owning a gun again by the way - get another gun and use it in an illegal manner?

Better that all you citizens should give up your guns so that this never happens again. 

Settlement Moves Forward

Reading this article, it becomes more and more obvious that police work isn't just dead....it's dead, buried and gone.

It's about time to abandon the streets to the criminals and let vigilantes administer street justice across all boundaries, because they (most likely) won't be sued or have to pay out of pocket for misjudgements or mistakes.

After two of three years, maybe we can rewrite the "social contract" and hold criminals accountable rather than second-guessing the police for daring to enforce Laws that the legislatures passed. 

New Overtime Initiative?

The sheriffs are getting some money:

• The Chicago Transit Authority is deploying sheriff’s deputies on its trains, installing high-barrier entry gates to deter fare evasion, and starting “farecard inspection missions” after the agency’s federal funding was threatened.

  The CTA presented those changes in a revised security plan Tuesday to the Federal Transit Administration, which had been threatening to a cut a $50 million grant if the CTA did not revise its security plan to the FTA’s liking. The FTA has been pressuring the CTA to improve system safety since a woman was set on fire in November on a Blue Line train.

CPD gets some opportunities, too:

• The agency is committing to 75% more policing hours on its system. To do that, it is, among other things:
  

• Raising the policing hours of the Chicago Police Department’s public transit section by 34%. (The unit is staffed by 177 officers.)
• Doubling to 240 the number of off-duty officers who can sign up for extra hours patrolling the CTA. (That number already has been raised once. In December, it was boosted to 120 from 77.)
• Having Cook County sheriff’s deputies patrol the system’s rail lines at a combined rate of 4,400 hours per month. Neither the CTA nor the sheriff’s office would say how many officers it would take to meet those targets. The hourly number, however, is about 20% of what the police department’s transit section typically works, according to figures in CTA’s December response to the FTA.

So much for Conehead's promises to cut OT.

Luuuuuucy!!!!

You got some 'splainin' to do!

• On the eve of a Chicago City council vote, lawyers for the family of a woman who died as a result of a high speed police chase are working to salvage a settlement deal worth millions more than originally awarded.

  The Council’s Finance Committee will be asked to authorize a $27 million settlement Friday with the family of Stacy Vaughn-Harrell. The family’s lawyers on Thursday urged Council members to give the OK, arguing there’s new evidence that would cause the price to balloon if the case were tried again.

This case already went to trial and a judgement of $10 million was handed down. There's plenty of information attached to this and in the public realm that this wasn't that far out of line with previous findings. We don't like it, but there's precedent.

The City decided to appeal, and suddenly "new information" comes to light and the City decides to offer....$27 million.

What did Corp Counsel completely "overlook" that necessitated an offer of three times the original finding? And when we say "overlook," what we mean is:

• what did Corp Counsel conceal from discovery that now came to light?

Who f#$%ed this up at Corp Counsel?

Who's getting fired?

Who is being disbarred? 

Time for Some Accountability

Hey "Consent Decree" people - how about firing some of these medical abusers?

• Recently, there was a disabled sergeant on the Police Pension Fund agenda who is in danger of losing her benefits. Let me be clear she is not above everyone else. Every officer receiving disability benefits is required to attend an annual physical examination, yet she refuses to comply.
  
  What’s even more troubling is that the injury she is now claiming is not the same injury for which she originally received disability. Her original injuries had healed. Now she claims she cannot see the Pension Board’s doctor because it gives her PTSD.
  
  This is exactly the kind of behavior that undermines the system for officers who are legitimately injured. Meanwhile, as mentioned in the post above, there are officers on no-pay status who are clearly not fit for duty and are struggling through the proper process. Situations like this damage the credibility of the disability system for everyone else.
  
  If someone is deliberately abusing the system, there should be consequences. Cases like this should be investigated thoroughly, and if wrongdoing is found, appropriate charges and legal action should follow. Pay back the Fund. 

A few years ago there was a concerted effort to have a Medical Integrity Unit to investigate abuse. It rapidly went away due to "demographic" revelations about exactly who was abusing the medical and at what rates.

People like this are going to lose the Medical Roll for others who truly need it.

Let's Make Kids Dumber!

CTU wants another day off even though they can't seem to teach kids to read or do math:

• The Chicago Teachers Union has not been shy about flexing its political muscle in recent years and now its leadership is demanding a day-off from school on May 1, wanting a day of demonstrations and events that largely align with progressive policies.

  The CTU is pushing a petition to close schools on May 1 so educators, activists and students can protest against a long list of grievances.

  The union wants staff and students to use the date to protest everything from ICE arrests to school funding, housing costs and what they claim is the threat President Donald Trump poses to democracy.

And they choose May Day (the communist holiday) for this effort.

• State data shows 40% of students enrolled in Chicago Public Schools are chronically absent, meaning they miss 10 or more days per year. Also, 43% of Chicago teachers missed at least 10 days of school last year.  

A money pit of graft, corruption and scandal. 

More of This Please

Shooting burglars is a good start:

• A three-time convicted burglar is facing burglary charges again after a South Side homeowner allegedly caught him breaking into a garage and shot him in the leg.

  Officers responding to a “burglary in progress” call around 2:45 a.m. on March 7 found 59-year-old Jose Pantoja lying in an alley behind the 5100 block of South Loomis Boulevard with a gunshot wound to his right leg.

  A 40-year-old man who lives nearby told officers he heard someone breaking into his garage and found Pantoja wearing a mask and placing a socket wrench into a backpack. When Pantoja allegedly tried to flee, the homeowner, a valid concealed carry license holder, shot him in the leg, according to police and prosecutors.

And guess who didn't even ask for him to be detained on bond?

• He is charged with burglary and possession of burglary tools. Prosecutors did not seek his detention, and he will remain free pending trial.

  Court records show he has been convicted of burglary three times in Cook County.

Three Strikes would have had this convict behind bars, unable to commit crimes.

CTA Video

We don't know if this video will play in the blogger platform. We're going to give it a try though. This was recorded back in January and posted on X / Twitter. 

(don't worry, you don't need an account to watch it - either here or on Twitter at this link:

Somewhere, a CTA spokesperson is typing ‘isolated experience.’

pic.twitter.com/4h23WxlnRQ

— Jen (@IlliniJen) January 10, 2026

That's the Blue Line at O'Hare we believe.

Without even trying, we counted at least SIXTY, possibly SEVENTY, sleeping, overdosed, homeless and/or mentally ill people on a single CTA train.

And Conehead wonders why Trump wants to cut tens of millions in transit funding? 

Nice Shot Junior

Philadelphia:

• Pennsylvania police say an 11-year-old boy fatally shot his mother's boyfriend during an altercation between the couple. The 911 call came in around 11:40 p.m. on Thursday, when police were called to the 1100-block of Peach Street in Southwest Philadelphia.

  Arriving officers and medics say they found the 30-year-old boyfriend lying on the bedroom floor with a gunshot wound to the head. He was pronounced dead a short time later. Police have identified him as Jaimeer Jones-Walker of Lansdowne, Pennsylvania.

  Investigators say Jones-Walker showed up at the house where his girlfriend lives with her children and began assaulting her in the bedroom. According to police, that's when her young son grabbed his mother's gun and shot him.

Aside from any mental trauma this kid might be going through, good job defending mom. 

And good job saving taxpayers any future costs for arresting, trying and incarcerating what neighbors say was a regular offender at the address. 

Mayor Chameleon

Amazing that she made it out of Illinois without being arrested.

More amazing to stage this as a comeback:

• The former embattled Democratic mayor of a Chicago suburb is running for a seat in Georgia as a Republican after relocating to the area following her scandal-plagued tenure in office. 

  Tiffany Henyard, who once declared herself a "super mayor," is the lone GOP candidate for South Fulton County's District 5 on the Fulton County Commission, according to election records. 

  She is facing off against four Democratic opponents. 

Grifters gotta grift. 

She's Georgia's problem now. 

Get to the Choppa!!!!

You Can't Tax the Dead....

 ....but in Illinois, the dead will tax you soon:

• Illinois Democrats have figured out a way to tax “the dead”.
  
  Your property tax bill may soon have a new line item - Cemetery district tax.
  
  Illinois is the state with the most taxing districts in the entire country, and this new proposed legislation would create thousands of new cemetery taxing districts in Illinois.
  
  HB5084 would force the mandatory conversion of cemetery associations effective January 1, 2027. All existing cemetery associations in Illinois would be automatically incorporated as cemetery maintenance districts under the cemetery maintenance district act.
  
  In the past, illinois’ cemetery association act historically has allowed private or nonprofit associations to own and operate cemeteries.
  
  If this legislation becomes law, it would allow each district to become a “taxing body“ and be able to levy additional property taxes on homeowners and businesses. Each cemetery district would have a “board of trustees” who would gain the statutory authority to levy property taxes on all taxable properties within the cemetery district boundary.
  
  This will cause your property taxes to increase.
  
  Joliet area State Rep. Democrat Natalie Manley is sponsor of the cemetery tax.

There are some places we worked where there are two or three separate cemeteries within a District, and another few with zero. Lincoln Park used to be a cemetery and there are still a few gravestones if you know where to look. Then there's that unmarked insane asylum cemetery up north, and lord only knows where Gacy buried all his other victims - are those cemeteries, too?

Are they going to tax everyone within a certain radius of said cemetery? Or a blanket taxing body for the entire city? And exactly what benefit are we all supposed to see as a result of these new taxes?

Mayor Foreclosure? (UPDATE from Ja'Mal)

Jamal Green keeps making noises about running for mayor.

Someone says Jamal is in the midst of foreclosure proceedings on a home in Beverly:

We suppose if Conehead can get elected while not paying a water bill, why couldn't Jamal get elected for not paying a mortgage? 

Seems almost like a requirement at this point. Plus, the experience of being involved in a bankruptcy might come in handy.

UPDATE: Ja'Mal Green (allegedly) appeared in our comment section:

• I do appreciate the kindness in you guys words on here. But fortunately, I’m not in “foreclosure” for not making payments. A company who purchased the bank who owns the note who I received my mortgage through has legal issues and closed. They did not forward my payments to who purchased them and somehow they thought it was my fault. Fortunately, they are dismissing and it’s resolved. As I own many properties, trust me, I’m fine. Love you all!

We're popular.

Shooting

They call this the "northwest side" but we have our doubts:

• One person was hospitalized in serious condition after a police-involved shooting on the city's Northwest Side on Monday evening, officials said. Chicago police said the shooting happened in the Humboldt Park neighborhood's 800-block of North Homan Avenue.

  Chopper 7 was over the scene, where a car appeared to have crashed into a bus.

  A Chicago Fire Department spokesperson said one person was taken to a local hospital in serious to critical condition. There is a large police presence at the scene.

  Police said an offender is in custody, a weapon was recovered, and no officers were injured. What led up to the shooting was not immediately clear.

That's the west side as far as we know. No one called it "north" until you crossed Division. "West" could vary.

No Officers hospitalized, so that's good. 

UPDATE: Offender has reached his expiration date. 

Justice for Root Beer!

Jail time avoided:

• The man convicted of tossing root beer in the face of former Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx was sentenced to a year of probation on Monday, bringing to an end a case that critics say highlighted the county’s two-tiered justice system, in which some victims appear to hold a premier status.

  William Swetz, 35, was convicted of aggravated battery in a public place on November 17 after a bench trial before Judge Tiana Blakely. At the same time, the judge found him not guilty of aggravated assault with a motor vehicle.

  The Illinois Attorney General’s Office handled the prosecution during Swetz’s two-day trial at the Markham courthouse.

When a moron meets another moron, moronic stuff happens. 

But as CWB notes, it did highlight the two-tiered system in place to protect the clouted from their own idiocy by pretending to be better and more important than the peons they rule over.

SAFE-T Act still Failing

Or is this another E.M. success story?

• A Chicago man already on pretrial release shot a 20-year-old woman in the face and when cops tracked him down, they found a cut-off ankle monitor and two guns in his apartment, prosecutors said. Daniel May, 19, is the third person accused of shooting or trying to shoot someone in Chicago this year while awaiting trial for another case.

  Officers responded at 6:43 p.m. on January 13 to reports of a person shot in the 6700 block of South Crandon Avenue. The victim waved them down and explained that a man and a woman had shot her and were still inside a nearby apartment, armed, prosecutors said in a detention filing.

  The cops followed a blood trail to an apartment and detained 21-year-old Maleah Carter when she answered the door. May was spotted exiting a rear bedroom and was also detained, according to prosecutors. Officers found a 9mm shell casing in the bathroom and a bullet-sized hole in the nearby hallway wall. Prosecutors said the path of the bullet traced through the wall into a closet and out through a sliding door into the living room. Two young children were allegedly present in the apartment.

  Officers also recovered a cut-off ankle monitor, two firearms, and a firearm spring in the rear of the building.

If only there was a minimally occupied secure set of buildings that could be used to detain criminals until trial and sentencing somewhere in Cook County.

Hello West Virginia!

This place just got a bunch more interesting!

• West Virginia lawmakers have introduced legislation that would allow the state to sell machine guns to qualified residents, marking a significant expansion of firearm rights in the state.

  Senate Bill 1071, introduced February 23, would create an Office of Public Defense within the West Virginia State Police with the authority to acquire and sell machine guns to “Qualified Persons” eligible to own firearms under state and federal law.

  According to the bill, the legislation is grounded in the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution and Article III, Section 22 of the West Virginia Constitution, which guarantees the right of people to keep and bear arms for the defense of self, family, home and state.

  The bill notes that federal law permits state governments to transfer machine guns to law-abiding citizens under the National Firearms Act of 1934 and the Gun Control Act of 1968.

  Under the proposed legislation, the Office of Public Defense would establish distribution stations at each State Police Troop Headquarters throughout the state. Machine guns available for sale would include AR-15/M16-platform, M249-type, and MP5-type weapons currently in use by law enforcement and the United States Armed Forces.

The chance to own an H&K MP-5 would weigh heavily in West Virginia's favor.

New York Attempted Bombing

What's running through this Officer's head at this exact moment? (click for larger "Oh Shit" moment)

There was a protest against the islamic/communist/terror supporting mayor in New York this weekend. Perhaps twenty people showed up. Over one-hundred-twenty counter protestors supporting the mayor arrived to have their voices heard. NYPD kept the two sides apart as both exercised their Rights to Free Speech.

That's when two of the counter-protesters started yelling "Aloha Snackbar" or something, lit the fuses on two bottles wrapped in electrical tape, and lobbed them at police. The fuses sputtered out without detonating to bombs and it turned out the bottles were filled with gunpowder, nails, screws and other assorted metal. 

The islamic communist mayor decried the protests, but failed to mention that the bombs came from the side supporting him. Imagine that.

This could have been a replay of the Boston Marathon incident but luckily didn't.

Be aware that the leftists, communists, islamists, and democrats are returning to their roots - bombs - because their arguments aren't resonating like they used to. 

UPDATE: This is what the New York Times said:

It's an Improvised Explosive Device, not a "smoking jar" you assholes.

You don't (ever) hate the media enough. 

Turns Out, You Can

Lib-tards in the media and democrats (but we repeat ourselves) like to claim "We can't arrest our way out of this," meaning some sort of crime situation.

Here's an interesting chart out of El Slavador:

 

As the incarceration rate went up, the murder rate went down.

Here's an even better explanation:

• Crime is not random

  Only 0.2% of people ever commit murder, yet **67% of all murders**are committed by people with prior arrests

  When the crime-inclined people are stopped, the crime stops.

  You can literally just fix crime by not tolerating people who show a history of being destructive to society.

This is why "Three Strikes" works wherever it's implemented and why Project Exile worked in Virginia. If you separate out the bad elements, makes it so they can't re-victimize people and can't breed another generation of criminals, their misbehavior ebbs away to be statistically insignificant.

That's the science lib-tards want you to ignore while they advocate mutilating children.

Another Conehead Win!

Another plywood-sapling sprouting on Michigan Avenue:

• The iconic Saks Fifth Avenue store on Chicago's Magnificent Mile is one of several locations across the U.S. now set to shutter, the company said in an announcement of a second round of closures on Friday.

  Saks Global announced the closure of the Saks Fifth Avenue store on Michigan Avenue as part of a "planned optimization across its store portfolio" that also includes shuttering 19 other Saks Fifth Avenue stores and 4 Neiman Marcus stores across the country.

Sounds like Saks is getting ready to go out of business in a few years, so maybe not entirely Conehead's fault - but the buck stops with the guy in the big chair when shit gets real. Maybe FAta$$ can get partial credit for the business-unfriendly atmosphere.

Is This Guy Hungry?

Waaaaay back in 1988, democrat Governor of Massachusetts Michael Dukakis was running for President. In one of the most effective political attack ads in history, Republicans brought up Willie Horton, a murderer that Dukakis freed on limited parole, who went out and continued to commit crimes, including rape. Dukakis never recovered.

This embracing of psychopathic criminals - is it something in the water on the east coast? 

• A confessed killer institutionalized after murdering a homeless man and eating parts of his body in a Connecticut cemetery could soon be walking among us once again — and local politicians are none too happy about it.

  Tyree Smith, dubbed the “Cannibal Killer” by local journalists, was granted a “conditional release” Friday by the Nutmeg State’s Psychiatric Security Review Board — meaning he’ll be allowed to leave Connecticut Valley Hospital in Middletown for supervised jaunts, WFSB reported.

  The decision was made after doctors who’ve been treating Smith said he’s been fully rehabilitated, thanks to medications that quelled the voices in his head. 

Seriously? This is a f#$%ing cannibal....and they're going to grant him "conditional release" so that he can eat more Connecticut citizens because he's "cured"?

This type of stupidity seems to always appear in democrat-leaning $hitholes, and we can only hope his next meal on the outside is someone who actually voted for this.

Good Body Cam Footage

A lot of videos we see out of Texas, the marksmanship of the police is outstanding. The video links from the recent Austin nightclub terrorist shooting are another example:

• In a welcome display of transparency, Austin police have released bodycam footage, surveillance clips, and frantic 911 calls from the March 1, 2026, spree shooting outside Buford’s Backyard Bar in downtown Austin, Texas. The videos capture the moments when the heroic cops shot shot and killed Islamist terrorist Ndiaga Diagne, a radical jihadi.

  The chaos erupted around 1 a.m. as this 53-year-old Senegalese naturalized citizen, clad in a “Property of Allah” sweatshirt with an Iranian flag t-shirt underneath, unleashed hell with a rifle and pistol on a crowd of innocent people. He slaughtered three — 19-year-old Texas Tech student Ryder Harrington, 21-year-old Savitha Shan, and 30-year-old Jorge Pederson — and wounded 19 others in a shooting spree apparently driven rage at Iran getting its ass kicked by US and Israeli military prowess.

  Desperate 911 callers screamed, “There are people dead over here—we need help right now!” as Diagne stalked the parking lot for like a deranged predator. Police responded to the calls in less than a minute. (Note: The video has been made private… click through the X post below to see video) . .

Spring Ahead

If you wander into Roll Call and the room is either empty or full of people who work the late side, then you missed the time change. 

Welcome to your 7.5 hour shift.

We're knowing fewer and fewer names every time one of these comes out.

Time moves on. 

Great Move

We, along with many of our readers have been suggesting this should be standard practice for years: 

• The ABC7 Chicago I-Team has learned a Chicago police officer shot in the wrist by 26-year-old Dexter Reed is countersuing the Reed estate over the injuries he suffered during the fatal 2024 traffic stop. 

His "estate" is 100% narcotics, armed robbery and welfare proceeds at this point, but his "heirs" had expected a million dollar payout - which the City Council rejected:

• Last April, the Chicago City Council rejected a $1.25 million proposal to settle the litigation. 

Get a load of this liar's lawyer's claim:

• An attorney for the Reed family said Thursday, "This counterclaim is offensive to Dexter Reed's family. These Chicago police officers targeted and unjustifiably shot and killed Dexter Reed without cause or legal justification. The result - 96 shots and yet another tragedy in our community." 

Um....he shot a cop. That's why he got shot....justifiably....and that's why the City Council finally found their testicles and realize that if they keep rewarding assholes who break the law, they're going to keep getting assholes who break the law. 

The main trouble is that you (as the plaintiff) have to come up with money out of pocket to do it, and if you're on the losing end, it's ALL on you.

One Way to Send a Message

That this local "prosecutor" hasn't been run out of town on a rail is amazing: 

• In a jaw-dropping twist straight out of an vigilante action thriller, a no-nonsense dad named Aaron Spencer just bulldozed his way to victory in a three-way primary for sheriff in an Arkansas county—while staring down murder charges against him like a boss.

  [...] Picture this: A sleazy 67-year-old creep named Michael Fosler sneaked around Spencer’s home, lured Mr. Spencer’s young daughter from her bedroom with unknown promises, and bolted away in his dusty pickup truck.

  Meanwhile Mr. Spencer’s dad radar sensed that something was amiss.  He looked into his daughter’s bedroom and saw that she was gone.  Dad heard Fosler’s truck leaving with some urgency.  Spencer wasn’t going to wait for the cops to finish their donuts to respond.  He grabbed his gun and tok off in hot pursuit.

  Minutes later, Spencer caught up to the child molester’s truck like he was Liam Neesom in Taken.

  After Spencer forced the perv’s pickup off the road, words flew. An “altercation” ensued and…boom. Spencer plugged the creep ceasing any respiratory activity and rescuing his little girl from what could’ve been a lifetime of nightmares.

  Heroic? Hell yes. But the local prosecutor decided he can’t just let a heroic dad “get away” with doing the right thing.  He slapped Spencer with a murder charge. Because, you know, the justice system gonna justice.

  Fuming, but far from finished, Spencer flipped the script, saying, in effect, “Screw this broken machine—I’ll fix it myself.”

  He threw his hat in the ring for the sheriff job while awaiting his trial for murder, vowing to torch the failures of the criminal justice circus and rebuild trust in the badge. And…the voters ate it up. He steamrolled the incumbent sheriff and one other candidate in a three-way primary brawl, snagging over 53% of the vote. No run-offs needed. The people spoke, loud and clear.

The actual "murder" trial will be in late April or early May and if he prevails at court - which he should, it's still Arkansas - then he'll probably win the election handily.

Had the child molester survived, he was facing over FORTY charges for the events of that night. Seems Dad did Arkansas a favor.
