A Double-Triple
- Detectives were reviewing police surveillance video this evening to see if they could spot the gunmen who shot six people, one fatally, in a convenience store on the South Side.
The attack happened at 6 p.m. on the 1400 block of West 79th Street in the Gresham neighborhood, said Chicago Police News Affairs...
Coming on the heels of Thursday's CompStat meeting, this must have been embarrassing to McClueless.
Guess who showed up finally?
- Rev. Michael Pfleger stood with the crowd gathered at the police line in the parking lot of a White Castle restaurant on Loomis. Pfleger pointed out that the police surveillance camera mounted across the street from the store, and said when the shooting happened, the streets would have been crowded with people.
"Somebody must have seen something. They need to come forward," he said.
You notice he pointed right to the camera - the camera that did absolutely nothing to stop the shooting? Amazing.
And trust the Tribune to throw this shot out there:
- Citing preliminary information, police said two gunmen with hooded sweatshirts entered the store and almost immediately opened fire.
"hooded sweatshirts." Golly, those sure are appearing in the news a lot lately.

Bobby Rush sure is ugly, but he's even uglier with a hoodie on.
Speaking of hooded sweatshirts, I wonder if Home Depot knows that a whole LOT of their employees have taken to wearing their hoodies, HOOD ON, in the stores while working? Never saw this before, but now it's become rampant.
It's obvious what this is about and I found it pretty distasteful in my several visits to one of their north side stores today. Unprofessional, undoubtedly. Sloppy, definitely. And very uncool.
If only we would stop selling those damn hoodies all of our problems would be over. Ya know what I'm sayin'?
Six people shot and CPD is sending det. Siskle and det. Ebert to a movie review.
Hey, grab your popcorn, snocaps, goobers, and your 64 oz bucket of pop it's going to be a long night.
Hey don't look now but guess what!
It's a quadruple triple plus one.
"Only"..yeah ONLY two died so far so it's all good. That's statistically acceptable right?
We hope the mayor is showcasing this to the NATO dig's that are in town.
Show 'em what the city has to offer!

13 shot, 2 dead Thursday afternoon, evening

Uh, didn't Father Phlegm say that there was nothing suspicious about hooded sweatshirts...let them kill each other. Wait til NATO...
Hmmmm...... all these extra officers in these high crime districts and people are getting killed. Wow great job mcdumbfuk. As fo da commander of six all the extra bodies on midnights didnt really help much here. Peak crime time is where you need the officers. Why not create 2 acternoon only tact teams 4 til 1 and 5 til 2 thats 20 extra officers that covers peak crime times ie what some disbanded city wide units used to do. Oh assigning a rapid to a beat is not a good idea rapids are supposed to float around in a sector. Why have we gotten away from this style of policing. 3 sectors per district 3 rapids per sector to handle in progress jobs. Beat cars get the paper jobs on their beat. Oh and have 311 handle the paper jobs where a po is not needed.vested
In that particular store it was just a matter of time. 80's babies on one side and killa ward on the other it was gonna happen eventually.
I told you those cameras were those fake security cameras.
Has anyone EVER been caught on one of those things???????
what the hell is going on--- this city is out of control--- multiple persons shot on a daily basis and scotchbreath and marsupial face have no answer to the bloodbath seige that our eclectic international jewel of the midwest city is under everyday-- they don't care about you, they just want your money---
By the the latest news reports the body count for march is at 48 up 118% from march 2011 which had 22 and with nearly 2 days to go, I would bet on at least 3 more which would be a one hundred and thirty-two percent increase over last year. At this rate Chalkie's going to get carpal tunnel by years end.
I'm sure the "shot spot" camera that detects gunfire worked 100% for this and automatically directed all cameras and officers immediately to the scene just as has been shown in the media numerous times.
”Guns don't kill people, people kill people”.

Who said the crime lab guys had it easy? At least not this year!
All of the shootings and rampant carnage have a common denominator and its not a hoodie. As soon as the press and system acknowledge the black community as being to blame, the sooner a solution can be sought.
Phleger, the majority of the press, and rahm would sooner assign blame to the police rather than where its actually rooted. Can't assign blame where it belongs because then you lose an endorsement.
By not hiring more officers....at least 1000, the blood is on the hands of 50 aldermen and the mayor.
Suck on that.
112% increase in homicides compared to the same month in 2011, and there are a couple of days left.
How are they going to spin that shit, I wonder?
Chalkie in da muvafuckin' house ,party people.
......and will Medicaid be billed big $$$$$ bucks or did these guys all have insuramce?
All this black on black genocide in Mr Obamas hometown and NOW he is silent...How about a stupid public comment Mr President? Just exactly what is Rahm trying to showcase and WHY did he invite this NATO summit to add to the madness?
Nothing in these neighborhoods will ever change.The culture of gangs,drugs and violence is accepted as the norm.No parental guidance is the huge part of the problem no one cares to talk about it's easier to just blame guns.I know many non-police with guns it's amazing but they never shoot anybody.
I remember long ago there was a campaign to reduce unwanted pregnancies that used the slogan "Put a hoodie on your woodie." To this day I can't hear the word hoodie w/o I am thinking "condom."
2 dead, 11 wounded.
WE'RE #1

Wow!!! South side is blowing up. Could it be that all the coppers who got fucked from the units and sent there against their will aren't doing a fucking thing? Or could it be that society is getting exactly the kind of police dept they wanted? The warm and fuzzy police who show up afterward and complete the report.
Actually Father Flavor was going to White Castle to buy some tasty burgers and he tripped over one of the bodies. Hey why waste a death scene. Nobody is going to say a fucking thang, Father. They don't want to be the next one to catch a slug. As for those bullshit cameras working who the fuck cares. You lock up the two shooters and there are 100 more waiting in the wings to do their thang. Get your burgers and go back to the rectory asshole.
Cong. Bobby Rush is in deep shit. Some woman was watching Bobby on tv pulling the Hoodie over his head and putting on the sunglasses. She yelled out.."Hey thats the old Gangsta who snatched my purse last week in Robbins!"
I noticed that about the hooded sweatshirts, too. It's like a uniform for those thugs.
And that couldn't have happened more timely, either - just a few days ago, our disgrace of a Congressman, Bobby Rush (he who is an admitted gangmember), was booed off the House floor for wearing a hoody & reading Bible verses during an open floor session.
How long before the Trib removes the description of the shooters wearing hoodies? As of 9:40 am today, this description is still in there in the article title "13 Shot, 2 Dead in Chicago:" The worst shooting occurred around 6 p.m. Thursday when two men in hooded sweatshirts opened fire inside a convenience store in the 1400 block of West 79th Street in the Gresham neighborhood, police said.
My over/under on it getting censored out is 4 hours.

Interesting, and very telling. They're willing to hop blindly onto a "cause" if it suits their agenda (namely, that the white (well, here, Hispanic but they don't care) man is going around randomly shooting black men).
Where's the outrage over the 120 or so murders so far this year in Chicago, over 80% of which the victims are black?
Oh, there's none, because the killers are black, too. They don't want to draw attention to that, as it will de-legitamize their "cause."
Also, this is totally tasteless for the HD workers, but now, if their management demands that they pull down the hoods, they will be called racist. Hopefully their employee manual already has language RE: dress code, especially with how the hoods are worn.

Tell the management that the employees should show support for criminals on their own time -- and also tell them that you're going to Lowe's or someplace else. It works better if you push your loaded shopping cart over to them, say "Keep it," and walk out.
I know a grocery store that has a "No cell phones while working -- No pajamas or slippers" sign by the time clock. It's obvious that it was needed.
Thanks to a liberal Democrat policy of government the Chicago crime rate is sickening.

Did the victims have hoodies on for Trayvon. Hey do gooders get off the Trayvon kick and start looking at the jagoff's kill'n in Chicago.But then again they don't care unless there's money to be made or face time on tv.So why should we. I don't.Shoot on Trayvon's.
WHERE'S the foot patrol beat cop? I'll bet that the report on the cameras come up like gun registrations, "clear, not in file". maybe some of those private donations could help us out for their generous tax breaks.
Hope this is one of the neighnorhoods that the city will showcase to the NATO delegates.
A hoody you say? Was it Bobby Rush the former Black Panther?
Is this total counting the 2 stabbing deaths? 1 on the westside and 1 on the northwest side.
It's a bakers dozen!
They must be fighting over heroin customers, the NATO dignitaries with the big bank rolls.

People, people, people, listen, cameras are a scam, only put in place to placate the masses and profit connected cronies.
The ONLY cameras that count are the " traffic " cameras used to collect extortion from the citizens of Chicago.
Oops, I forgot the party line, " for the children "
the gang audits dont seem to be working too well. what a bunch of maroons
Was anyone holding skittles and an iced tea?

-------------------------------
"Shot spot" cameras don't reduce violent crimes they provide a tool for the political "hot shots" to legally monetize the crimes in order to get their hands on and claim that drug money.
The "hot spots" over time are mobilized and are just moved to new locations until more "shot spot" cameras are purchased and installed creating an illusion that the 'hot shots' are doing something of value
There's no money to be made in preventing crime is there?
I mean not if you're a politician.
Look at all the money the justice and legal system gets when you let the crimes happen and then address the problems after the fact.
The lawyers, judges, States Attorneys, court clerks, all working overtime or adding staff to handle the caseloads. If we prevented the crimes all those people would be out of work.
The politicians love the fear that is created as that fear can be used to expand their power and realm of influence while using that fear as a motivator for crisis's and elections.
That fear can be used as a tool to raise the working classes taxes for more protection money. It works just like the old time syndicate but we glorify the positions as being noble and call them republicans and democrats now that's all.
It's a win-win for the politico's
Allowing the crimes to happen generates cash flow and economic activity in the hood not only in the black market economy but it trickles into the legit businesses are well.
Hey...Don't sentence that habitual thug to a long term in the joint as their nefarious illegal activity attracts money and business to the city -- just like a legit corporation does.
Economic activity and jobs are created from it all.
We need that money baby! It's all about the money, it's not about morals.
Don't you see the schools are $800 million in debt next year? Hell, let 'em out it's for the children don't you know?
Close the mental health clinics, close the juvee centers, the half way houses, some of the prison's. Let's get these people back on the streets and get this fear ramped up so that we can raise more taxes (protection money) from the public.
Seriously...isn't that how it really works?
They say they care about international drug cartels yet the Sanctuary Cities doors are still wide open creating jobs and work for the security apparatus instead of addressing the issue at it's core.
As fast as we pull them off the streets the justice department puts them back on the streets. Why? it's about the money. They won't admit it but it's all about the money.
there are some credit unions that disallow you from wearing hoodie in line .... I guess that is their perogative, huh?
Hey Faker Pleger .... cameras don't solve crime
even if it did work ... it's not a fingerprint ....
GOOF!
I went to confession with Father Pleger.
By the end, I told HIM to say 10 Hail Mary's.
God help the 011 district. McGoofs newest idea is going to get a copper killed. If you are on a beat car that has a violence zone, you must stay in that box the whole tour. You must have a PDT in the car, and ask for a relief for lunch and personals. You only take calls that are in your box.
If you are a beat car with no zone, you run your ass off all night, running all over the district ,working off the backlog. 6 beat cars right out of roll call are not taking jobs.
Add a hair gel digging for dope, a few cars going in to use Aira (since they have no or a nonworking PDT) ,you are left with 3 cars handling the backlog.
NOW they want a FIXED FOOT POSTS IN THE VIOLENCE ZONE!! Further curtailing the cars responding to jobs and providing backup!
Original idea was to have a car drop them off to STAND in 011 for their entire tour. Each a block from each other. And on all watches!!!
How insane to expect any copper to stand by themselves on a damn block in a violence zone in 011 on any watch (1st watch- really???)
The first night they were allowed to have cars (must have a working PDT aka GPS) but how long will that last? Also the troops were ask to curtail their requests for time off in roll call.
011 is not the district to have 4 to 5 cars answering jobs. Back up is non existent and now fixed foot posts. The situation just gets worse and worse for the officers in 011.
The bosses have put the 011 coppers in a very dangerous situation , that will only get worse!
$&@ these bosses!
Signed Stuck in 011
Excuse me. Ive been drinking ,day off. It just occurred to me. When I was a boy in the sixties, everything was guns. Gunsmoke , Bonanza , Jimmy Stewart westerns that sort of thing. No trouble . No violence .I played with every Mattel toy ever made. Guns, Guns, and more guns. Maybe the type of people have changed. What changed?
Is skittles the new word for bullets?
Leo,
You can fool some of the people some of the time.
But, you can't fool all of the people all of the time.
WTF
put a positive look on the violence,i bet they are all dems.on the negative side theres no room at the morgue. why cant we all just get along? rev wright claimed he has the answers, move to tinley. blame whitey and the money rolls in and he can move out. all his hate speech gets him a 10,000,000 dollar hide away.

I don't remember it being customary for national figures to comment on municipal concerns. By the way, he's from Hawaii. He was old enough to buy his own liquor when he first came to live here. His wife is a Chicagoan. He was on the west coast then New York...then ended up staying in Chicago. Not my definition of a hometown.

The loss of manufacturing and industrial jobs. Joke all you want but the few middle class black areas from back in the day are having the same problem i.e. places like Pill Hill and Chatham. When new residents have less income, less education, more government assistance, less family structure...you just hit the poverty jackpot. Expect crime anywhere there is high unemployment, cheap housing, low economic development, and poor infrastructure. That's not too deep to figure out. If these areas were populated by middle class, calls would be down...that's the nature of the best. The less income, the more expensive the service provision.
maybe the NATO folks should have their meeting at 79th and Loomis, to see what Chicago has to offer, and then to sample the cuisine (maybe after a few sliders, they'll cut the meeting short)....
We need more foot officers. Wait minute that's it we need more officers!!!!!!!
Chalkie!! ....chalkie!!... chalkie !!! You go boy!!!
hey scc now there are foot posts in the 011th dist. face to face relief. can you believe that
and oone more thing, i dislike fleggers politics but at least hes making a stand instead of those fake revs seeking their fifteen minutes of fame down in florida. and did you hear about one of the six victims shot by the hoodie shooter was a cousin of wade from the heat, and wade is supporting the whole hoodie thing. does that mean he supports his cousin's shooter. looks like a conflict of interest. as long as the asa'a dont have any balls, this violence will just escalate. welcome to NUEVO LAREDO
If they'd like, I'm willing to teach these fellows how to shoot.

Sir, my father never got arrested,nor have I ever been arrested. Maybe I should blame every police officer for brutality,corruption,and anything else criminal. You just need to learn how to discern a shtthead from someone legit. If you do that you'll be an outstanding officer.
McDrunken made Barb West an exempt district commander? Hey McTool, good luck with that one. A real stroke of genius. Henny-Penny 2.0 is all ready to go!
It must have been her stellar performance in the interview process you said was a requirement of all exempt applicants? And you said NO more phone calls because a phone call is no longer needed to make exempt. Who the fuck do you think you are bullshitting?
Is skittles the new word for bullets?

What changed?
3/30/2012 02:04:00 PM
it's the skittles.
YOW! After the Double Double Triple + 1 last night -- 13 shot in two hours -- McCarthy has freaked, reassigned five district commanders.
Did I hear that right on the radio -- that JEFF PARK 016 was considered to be one of the five "high crime districts?"
Sounds like complaints from up there might be - well, if not doing any good, at least getting some sort of appararance of action.
Just want to thank all of you out there for the job you do taking care of the "people who annoy you"
wait till there's 1000 homocides...
And who gets the blame for the morgue overflowing? the medical examiner lady. Sorry,just ranting.
Last I had was 42 killed and that was counting all 3 on 6300 S Evans. By now with the stabbing in 016, the strangulation in 008, shooting in 006, stabbing in 010 and shooting in 005 the number is now 47.

The fact that you immediately become defensive is surprising. I never said ENTIRE black community, but your defense says you agree with me. The "don't let one bad apple...." Defense is obvious and I agree with you. I am not painting everyone with the same brush. But it is never mentioned that you disagree with the FACT that this surge in violence is rooted in the black community. All you've said was that you and your father have never been arrested. That has nothing to do with it.
No offense intended at all. The problem is that its obvious that so many young African Americans on the south and west sides of Chicago have little to no regard for human life. So many go out aimlessly seeking victims, tormenting neighborhoods and blanket areas with fear and bullets.
All of the elected officials are way too busy assigning blame and are basically apologists for these murderers and thugs. Use your position as an upstanding member of a community to address the facts rather than using this post to defend you and your father, and follow it up by turning the statement again against the police.
If I am supposed to commend you or you father for never being arrested, that's not gonna happen. It doesn't take a genius to know right from wrong. It's no great feat to have never been arrested.
Guess what? I've never been arrested either. My father?.....never...as a matter of fact, no one in my family has. And furthermore,none of my neighbors in my community prey on each other either. We don't fear walking down the street. They didn't reassign 400 officers to babysit my neighborhood. Sadly, its the currently safe neighborhoods that will soon suffer shortages in service.
Choose your battles, friend. This is not one that's a win unless your doing something proactive.
I wish you the best.
Gresham was the Wild West back in the 60s and 70s. I graduated Cal-u-met Urban Combat Tech in '68 when the Maniac Ds and Blackstone Rangers were just getting started. Going on FIFTY YEARS of this shit! Fucking Shitcago politicians have been pandering to and exploiting gang street muscle all along. NOTHING'S CHANGED!
What's changed is that crack "babies" have grown into crack "shooters".

I went to Calumet too. In 1953 as a freshman I had a black locker partner (we had to double-up in those days). Fine gentleman he was, Wallace Minter his name. Zero problems race-wise as I recall. What has changed all that? For one thing, back in the day everyone was scared shitless of police. Also, the schools were able to "discipline" in a more affirmative manner...so to speak. In the intervening years, MLK's activities, LB fucking J's "Great Society" (a euphemism for welfare gone wild), and general breakdown in law and order in the '60's due to liberal pussydom gave us today. It's not much more complicated than that.
Hey McCarthy, how is it you can describe a 100+% increase in homicides over the same month the previous year as an "up-tick".Yet when crime is down an only 4% it is "over whelming" ! Chat amongst yourselves ladies!
The photobooth at Evergreen Plaza captures more crime scene photos than the Blue Light cameras do.
"Ron the Cop" was the school policeman at Morgan Park HS. I swear the guy was seven feet tall. I never saw him kill a man but I always feared he could.
