Beating Death on Tape

We'll just link to the FoxNews report.

Here's the truly sad part - we and our readers have been pointing out for some time now that this is just a typical Chicago high school dismissal. It's played out time after time, day after day, across the entire west and south sides. Crane, Marshall, Orr, Bogan, Fenger, etc. Dozens, maybe scores of beat, rapid and tact cars held down at various high schools while regular citizens are being denied police service and backlogs mount.

Imagine if a single news camera was stationed at each of these schools for a week and they just filmed dismissal time? Hundreds of "students" running back and forth, hurling rocks, throwing punches, beating each other with boards and bats, tying up traffic and police resources?

Who are we kidding, it wouldn't change a thing. But the YouTube hits would be astronomical.

The only reason the other fights didnt make TV is because no one died. This was just a freak occurence that someone died after getting hit with a 2/4. Worse fights than this have been 19 pauled.

I've always said, if the general public knew what we knew, they'd shit.

My (formerly) liberal sister in law made the mistake of a wrong turn and ended up in front of Orr HS at dismissal time. She's lucky it was only a windshield that got broken, but it opened her eyes greatly.

Now we just have to educate the rest of the public to the country's largest day care provider--The Chicago Public Schools.

I do have condolences to the family of the kid killed in Roseland, he seemed like a good kid who was in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Truely sad. His parents have to be just devastated.

But, what's even worse is that the mighty midget is over in Denmark, wearing his wooden shoes, stuttering, with one thumb in his mouth and the other stuck up his *ss, doing a dance, all in an effort to stick it to every last one of us hard working, tax paying citizens.

Hey Shortshanks, spend some of that parking meter money on more police and city services, so other kids won't be afraid they'll get beaten to death after school!

I'm sorry,I for one am outraged by this video. These fucking animals need to be caught and put away. To every parent who reads this, this is what you get when you handcuff the police. I guarantee you the parents of these animals will protect them to the end. They will lie, yhey will conceal these bastards, they will file complaints against any officer who comes for them. Then so called religious leaders will come to their defense instead of demanding the community cough them up. Then some scum sucking lawyer will sue the city and we will all pay to settle. And do you think Mayor Daley cares at all??? No, he just cares about forcing the Olympics down our throats. Why do you think this fight went on as long as it did? Because there are not enough police to send, Period. He has cut police numbers to pay for something most Chicagoians don't even want, the Olympics. That is his dream. This young man's family has had it's dreams dashed by a savage and a mayor who doesn't care except for his own ambition.

I hope the citizen's of Chicago and every person who views this video realizes this is NORMAL for MOST public school dismissals; not the exception to the rule. SADLY.

What I cannot believe and most if not all should be dismayed by, is the fact that this poor child (somebody's son, grandson, nephew) was being beat, and the video rolled on. Not once until after they dragged his lifeless body away did anyone say "we need help" or make a phone call to the Police or for an Ambulance. AND that is what is most incomprehensible. He was their friend, their classmate, and they did nothing but roll video. As soon as they heard his head hit the concrete like the "witness" reports should have been enough indication he needed help; instead the video continues for additional MINUTES while the beating continues and everyone stands by and watches, not a soul to run interference for him.

Makes a momma proud, don't 'cha think.

100% correct, We got rid of the school patrol, but half the sheets on days in my district are full of school cars because we have so many schools. The rest of the cars are 99 units. Now they have the tact cars held down at schools also. When does it end. How about this Good Humor Man, Take some of that federal money and skip the study about which students are in danger of being shot, "the answer is all of them". Use it for some special employment. We have to protect our future doctors, lawyers,Indian chiefs and Olympic stars.

Great video, you can see the guy in the red who first strikes him with the board, Guilty, the other guy in the brown who strikes him with a smaller board while he is down Guilty. Then the assorted other assholes that kick him while he is down Guilty. Now try and get someone to tell who they are. Remember no snitching, especially to the police. The only hope is to find some of those girls in the video and you might get somewhere, I believe they will give up some info if they know.

Remember this can happen to you out there. Will they clock you with a board? will they steal your gun and wallet while you are down? Are most of the cars on days during school dismissal time 99? The answer to all above is YES! I for one am not going down like that. Be safe out there and don't think that this could not happen to you just because you are wearing a uniform and are a Police Officer.

You will never, ever, see a C.P.S. teacher present at one of these fights trying to break them up. They are only concerned with what happens within the school walls. I remember arguing with the principal of Clemente H.S. over her "orderly" dismissals of 3000 students. She couldn't care less after that final bell rang and could care even less if it didn't happen on school property. They, the administrators, just pulled down the shades, waited about 10 minutes, then ran to their cars.

Why is Foxnews the only media outlet that carried the video? The MSM doesn't want the people to know what the liberal, progressive attitude toward education ala Bill Ayers, Duncan, Obama and others has led to. The primitive savagery depicted on the video is mesmerizing. The video should be studied in classes on anthropology, psychology, sociology and criminal justice. The individuals in the video act like a bunch of jackals, hyenas, vultures, sharks, wolves or other animals that kill or scavenge in a pack. As the fight continues the blood lust of the pack members becomes more pronounced and elevates til there is almost a frenzy. Hit anyone, kick anyone, use any available weapon. Individual down. Kill him.
As others on this blog have pointed out, these types of fights are commonplace near Chicago schools at dismissal time. The only difference is this time someone was killed not just injured.
It is a cultural problem not a policing problem. Individuals with the attitudes of those in the video or making the video cannot be changed by having more police on scene. That just puts a lid on things at that place for that moment. The savagery will continue once the police are not around to stop it.
Eradicating that type of behavior must begin with changing the way these individuals are raised from day one. But, we know that won't happen because the conventional wisdom of the liberals who have controlled the nanny state for years is to reward mothers for having more babies by giving them welfare checks. Make every excuse in the world for parents not to remove their kids from the poisonous influence the parent or parents provide. Provide free housing, food, healthcare, recreation, and spending money from the cradle to the grave no matter whether the person is capable of working and just chooses not to work and be on the dole. No accountability, no responsibility and no consequences for being a complete zero.
Unless and until the liberal paradigm of "something for nothing" is stamped out. We will continue to see more and more savagery, and the savages will proliferate until they are the majority and civilized society will cease to exist. We are rapidly approaching that time. What are the "good men" going to do about it?

Its not just Daley, bud. Its the entire Democrat party, in fact, the entire liberal population.

They WANT to empower these savage animals, because keeping them violent, stupid and regular lawbreakers gives them the bargaining chips to buy their votes with entitlement programs and anti-law enforcement legislation.

These "people", and that term is used loosely, have devolved into nothing but violent emotionless beasts of prey. Until the country has the fucking balls to stop being scared off by threats of "racist" and recognize this truth, stop glorifying thugs and animals and ghetto "culture", and instead cut this cancer out, society will continue to fall victim to these rotten vermin.

I often get sent to schools at dismissal time and learned long ago that locking up a juvenile is not worth it. The almighty Youth Officer has to be called and often critcizes your arrest..."you locked him/her up for what?" They can never bring themselves to you to process. On the rare occasion that they do come out, it takes hours and the area is ten minutes away. To lock up a juvenile is at least a three hour ordeal. Why bother? The younger ones havre been the ones carrying guns and dope for so long and they know we rarely waste our time stopping and going through them. I'm sure someone will be screaming about curfews regarding this whole ordeal. News Flash higher ups....they don't do a rats ass worth of good. Just an absolute waste of manpower. Hey Jody, how about kicking some of these Youth Det's in the ass and get them to do their job?

I will say it. No one wants to but I will. This is what happens when you shut down the public housing facilities (projects) and integrate the institutionalized people that lived there in the neighborhoods!!

All news reports state there was some type of rivalry between the Fenger students who lived in Roseland and those who lived in Altgeld Gardens (housing project). The students from the Gardens have to commute out of their neighborhood into unknown territory.

Not just gang speaking but just neighborhood turf in general. Sad to say but this type of behavior has been found in the neighborhoods since the closing of the housing projects. Think about the shooting of the P.O's son on the CTA bus. Ever hear about stuff like that before the projects closed? Not saying that there aren't any good people and families that live in or came out of the housing projects because there are but the mentality of most of the youth living there is they have to fight and protect what is theirs by any means necessary. Just a thought.

This being said, my prayers go out to the family of this young man, not a " savage animal" as so many of you have stated.We are all human beings and even "animals" can be tamed and taught right from wrong. We all need to pray for today's youth and the future of our country.

Stop calling them animals, most animals dont act like this. Stop calling them savages, most savages dont act like this. Call them what they are.

They are mosters.

Why are they mosnters? Maybe because they have been told that nothing is their fault, no matter what they are the victims. Maybe a court system that has told them they can do anything they want and nothing will happen to them is to blame. Maybe its a "culture" that puts senseless wasteful materialism ahead of human life in its priorities. It could be the the fact that this same "culture" sees it as just fine that girls can have multiple children from multiple boys and that those boys bear no responsibility whatsoever for them. Maybe its the fact that if you are paid to do nothing but reproduce, through a lack of self respect, life naturally has less value. I could go on. I wont because I dont care.

The fact remains that people who participate in acts like these (and countless others that we have all seen way to many of) have forfeited their humanity. They are no longer human. They have decided by their acts to be something less, they have decided to be monsters.

Thats not even the scary part. I will bet you a years pay that at least one of those monsters has fathered at least one child. Same bet applies that those children end up the same as their monstrous fathers. How many children do you have officers? Think about it. These monsters will win, their way of life will become the norm and ours will become the abberation. Not only through the courts and the government rewarding them for reproducing and letting them get away with almost anything but also through sheer breeding these monsters will soon outnumber those who actually have any ethics at all.

The world we give to our children will be vastly different than the one our parents gave us. G*d save us all.

Of course the media will never report it. It does not fit their template. There is no such thing as unbiased media reporting. That is why newspapers are dying and nobody watches network news, we see through their bullshit. Most media people are politically left of center. Their only hope is for Obama to give them a bailout.
I'll bet twenty bucks and my left nut that if I went to any university and asked a journalism student what his reason is for wanting to become a journalist, they would, overwhelmingly, reply "to change the world" and not "to report news." This must change. But jagoffs like William Ayers have a grip on the young minds of this nation.

You guys go ahead and keep slowing down and not doing shit. I am pissed and feel disrespected that the Mayor would put a Federal Agent in charge of CPD, but I have to live here long after he moves to Nevada next year. These same kids will be in our parents neighborhood and will be around our childrens schools. They may even encounter them at the mall or on their way to and from some event as Ron Holdt's son did. We have to protect our own and as a father, I can't imagine what this kids family is feeling. I watched the tape and in my 30 years as the police I never cried so hard. I realized it is time for me to go and to take my grandkids with me. This city is not safe for anyone, not even the police.

Thanks Jfed for helping the citizens of Chicago hate us even more! Asshole

I will say it. No one wants to but I will. This is what happens when you shut down the public housing facilities (projects) and integrate the institutionalized people that lived there in the neighborhoods!!
--------------------------------

Don't forget Section 8. Another failed federal program. Daley has used this exclusively to dismantle the projects to get his precious real estate, destroying decent and productive communities in the process. The other farce is mixed income developments. How many really work as intended? Very few if any. People who don't care or give a damn, bring the rest of the area down to their standards. As for Daley, I would let these honor students loose in the mayors neighborhood so he can experience first hand how well his takeover of the CPS has worked.

This is right on. If this kid got caught up in this by mistake, he coulda ran after being hit once. He didn't look at the tape. he is standing around fighting and acting just likt the rest. He coulda ran inside the community center but he chose to stand out there and fight. U could see these savages from 3 blocks away, he had time to leave, he didn't.

You will never, ever, see a C.P.S. teacher present at one of these fights trying to break them up. They are only concerned with what happens within the school walls. I remember arguing with the principal of Clemente H.S. over her "orderly" dismissals of 3000 students. She couldn't care less after that final bell rang and could care even less if it didn't happen on school property. They, the administrators, just pulled down the shades, waited about 10 minutes, then ran to their cars.

One or two squads? Good way to get killed. One or two teachers? Please.

At least a dozen strong men, full riot gear, OC, dogs and water cannon. But can you imagine the racial outcry?

Face facts, the ghetto dwellers talk mad shit when something like this happens, but what do they DO? Fucking nothing, so I guess they want this shit to keep happening. Fuck'em, any money spent there may as well be burned for warmth by the homeless guys on Wacker.

Hold up there, buddy. My wife was a CPS Teacher. And was not that far from where this incident happened. My wife left CPS when she was pregnant, and thankfully never returned to those shitty conditions. Would you want YOUR wife in the middle of these animals? YOUR PREGNANT WIFE? Do you think for a second, that any one of these “Honor Roll Students” care? It’s rather obvious if you watch the tape.

You said “I remember arguing with the principal of Clemente H.S. over her "orderly" dismissals of 3000 students.” Like Clemente is the only place where this shit happens? And these are the only two incidents? It happens damn near EVERY DAY CLASS IS IN SESSION! You know it and I know it, so does 90% of the Department (10% are clueless to begin with). Hopefully, the rest of the City and Country will start to wake up and realize this shit, and how these animals act!

Nobody is saying just because a person is involved in a fight,riot, or what it was,A GANG FIGHT should be killed. What we are saying don't make it seem like a innocent CPS Honor roll was killed, he was an active participant in the gang fight who was knocked unconscious and was struck by another gang banger with a board. Who is to say he wouldn't have done the same thing to another CPS Honor roll student if the situation presented itself.

They would be marching and singing "no justice-no peace" but since no police involved they won't come out and blame the actual "offender's" that's "right "offender's", not honor roll students who were just on their way home to do homework. How about looking for the kids parents and ask them why their little angel was runnung around fighting if they are not in a gang.

This evening, Jesse Jackson Sr. gave a scripted babble speak performance on Ch. 11's "Chicago Tonight" pointing out how the police "around the corner" didn't do enough to save the poor honor student's life. It's a conspiracy he says, with Burge and the CPD doing more to hold back the fine citizenry from immediately coming forward and doing the right thing than anything else. Too much pressure to act like human beings apparently. Nice of him to absolve the criminals for their behavior, seeing as how it all obviously didn't result from years of shit parenting and rabid moral bankruptcy.

I will say it. No one wants to but I will. This is what happens when you shut down the public housing facilities (projects) and integrate the institutionalized people that lived there in the neighborhoods!!.....


Ok....you knew THIS was coming......

When CHA FAILED,in 1994 to maintain Federal Certifications and Failed to properly maintain its units,funding was cut. Subsequently,Section 8 vouchers and "affordable housing"(at the behest of JESSE and Father Faker) was made available to these "unfortunates" They moved to what is called "scattered site housing" thruout Chicago and Illinois.And once quiet areas became shit holes all over again. Mearly closing the projects DIDNT solely cause the catastrophic increase in crime in these areas.

Housing was "closed" simply because of 2 MAJOR CONTRIBUTING FACTORS..

1. The CHA "police" was as corrupt and evil as the garbage living in the projects.
2. The beats surrounding the projects were overwhelmed with calls for service to other places besides the projects subsequently founding the "fuck it let them kill eachother" philosophy. Then in 2001,after numerous murders and gun related events,what was left of CHA decided that it was time to clean shit up. Statistically from 2001 to about 2008 there has been a steady DECLINE in "project related" events while scattered site areas crimes have increased. Im not in anyway saying that this decline can be interpreted as the projects being safer. Moreover it SHOULD be looked at as the criminal element being moved from the OBVIOUS area(project building) to the NOT SO OBVIOUS AREAS (scattered sites) If you care to, New York has a plan that I personally think will clean the remaining issues up in whats left of CHA housing.Google New York Public Housing Exclusion Lists. This plan has so far passed Legal Muster and might just actually work here in Chicago. More.....

HOUSING PART 2


While it can be argued that those that came from the projects are the root cause of these types of events, this is also true of the people that currently live in "nice" areas but have never risen above Ghetto mentality, that being surround,pound and run. It took 4 hard long years of BATTLE to clean a project up on the North Side of Chicago (Clyborne and Diversey)and there was, for a time, a VAST reduction in crime in that particular area. The key to cleaning these areas is, intense patrol and missions, cooperative efforts at EVICTION of those found not to be in compliance or of criminal convictions, and presence of the working police,not just a fat blonde in a uniform chewing gum. Since this area of Enforcement has been generally neglected(let em kill eachother) we now have to deal with the end result of such complacency.While none of us are babysitters,it is all we can do under the current administration. The time has come to send a message. I hate to say this but back in the day when I pounded thru Cabrini,Robert Taylor, Ikes,Stateway,Dearborns, Ogden Courts,Altgeld and others,this kind of animalistic behavior was IMMEDIATELY dealt with.They KNEW better than to fuck with us.Now, in the warm basking glow of Obama Summer,the hood rats are over empowered well armed and less educated than they were just a short time ago. They didnt close the projects,they just put them next door to innocent hard working TAXPAYING people that are fed up and have NO WAY of defending themselves against this jungle mentality. When the last building at RTH came down,I never thought Id live to see that day. I have.Im glad its gone. I lost a friend there. Mike Cerriale.What i DONT get is why the neighborhoods dont get IRATE at this behavior and resort to good old fashioned baseball bat beatings of the goofs that run wild?You know, TAKE YOUR STREETS BACK!!! When we rolled up on a crowd of these goofs they ran.Fast.Those that didnt or chose to be a spokesman met Coco Bolo,cuffs and the ground in that order. That was then. You will NEVER see that now and THAT pains me. I and my crew had "projects" and managed them well. YOU have the collateral fallout of that and cant do anything but complain and say "gee what can i do?" It wont,with THAT attitude, get any better it can ONLY get worse.You CAN stop this before it gets beyond Police control. But you had BETTER do it soon.

God Bless

Please do not hold priests up as examples of the way to behave.

--------------------------------

You're right about the priest situation in the Catholic Church. The unsung hero's of teaching right from wrong were the Nuns..no one and nothing is perfect,but the Nuns were the work horses who did their best to keep us on the straight and narrow path. I mentioned Father Murray as a reminder to Da Mare of days gone by when he was respectable and respected, as opposed to the slimy business of politics and governing, slimy connections, general, all-around wallowing in slime that he understands so well. He disgusts me. God bless the men and women of the Chicago Police Dept. who work hard, figtht crime and keep us safe.
