Talk About Historical Ignorance

Just when you think politicians can't get any stupider, Aldercreature Carrie Austin sets the bar low and then starts digging. She starts out begging for help:
  • Far South Side Ald. Carrie Austin (34th) appealed to Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan on Tuesday to make Roseland and West Pullman the next target for his anti-violence initiative.

    Austin questioned why the 80-year-old Farrakhan and his army of men, known as the Fruit of Islam, had taken their appeal to the streets of South Shore before showing up in Area 2, which includes the West Pullman and Roseland areas besieged by gang violence.

Not sure if the "Area 2" quote is Austin or reporter Fran Spielman, but Austin hangs it all there later in the article:

  • Austin said they projected a positive message.

    “When I see Farrakhan, it reminds me of the movie, ‘Malcolm X’ because those gentlemen are well-dressed, learned men and they are disciplined. That’s something our kids can take notice of…,” she said. “Our young men don’t think they’ll live past 21 and those that are 21 are not in sight. That’s sad for them not to have the thought of a future. This can teach them there can be another life.”

Really? Reminds you of Malcolm X? Evidently, she's forgotten or never learned that Louis is credited by Malcolm's family with being on the safe end of a shotgun during Malcolm's killing. In fact, Malcolm's daughter was charged with hiring an assassin to kill Louis way back in the 1990's for that belief. Even Farrakhan's own words lead most to believe that if he wasn't wielding a shotgun himself that day, he knows who did, assisted in creating the atmosphere that led to the killing and abetted in the cover up afterwards.

But he's going to come in and save Austin's ward from tearing itself apart?

Actually, Area 2 is not between quotation marks, so Spielman was technically just paraphrasing.

scc, off-topic, but you might have a bit of a story here. An unfortunate incident happened where a young gal was rowing her way around Lake Michigan and while docked overnight was sexually assaulted. The Battle Creek inquirer did the right thing and posted the offenders race. the ball- less Tribune however failed to report the offenders race. But, they did report the color of a suspect vehicle, which was yellow, and they reported the color of the spare tire cover, which was also yellow.
Why does the Tribune failed to report the color of the offender, being that it is a significant factor when attempting to identify and locate the suspect.

http://www.battlecreekenquirer.com/article/20120724/NEWS01/307240002/Jenn-Gibbons-rowing-around-Lake-Michigan-speaks-out-after-assault-ve-still-got-?odyssey=nav%7Chead

Per Battle Creek inquirer:
the suspect, described as a white male in his 30s, between 5 feet, 8 inches and 6 feet tall, with thick stubble on his face but not a beard or mustache. He has light eyes, average to athletic build and shorter, well-kept hair, according to a report on the MSP St. Ignace website. He was wearing a grayish-green T-shirt, jean shorts and tennis shoes.

The Tribune printed this:
A news release from Michigan police says a bright yellow Jeep Wrangler was seen in the area of the attack.  It has a spare tire on the back with a yellow happy-face on it.

But Pat Camden, a spokesperson for the FOP, says that Farrakhan’s participation is more than welcome.

“The last time I checked, Fruit of Islam isn’t convicted felons, are they? That’s a huge difference. And they’re not getting paid by the city,” Camden said.

“Anything that will cut down on the violence because of the lack of manpower, we’re glad to see. It’s people in the community getting involved to stop the violence. He’s part of the community.”

You can see "well-dressed, learned, disciplined men" downtown in the financial/business district every day, but your kids are too busy using them as lamp posts in games of street tag and demanding fifty cent and grabbing their Iphones and cursing at them.

Idiot.

What was it that "Fruit Of Islam" does for a living again?

Fruit Of Islam not nobody's daddy. Not CeaseFire either, not the City, not the State. Where are all your children's fathers? Selling, shouting on the street corner, or triple-bunked in IDOC braiding other men's hair?

You get a family going here and then we'll talk.

So what's with the attempted shooting of local CeaseFire shot-caller Tio Hardiman's son? We haven't heard hardly a thing from them since they got the million dollars. Roseland CF has been waddling around in new custom-printed windbreakers making illiterate prnouncements, but they are apparently not affiliated with Dr. Slutkin's CF crew.

Uh..."accountability?" "Transparency?" What have they done with the public's money?

Chicago Department Of Health project -- well? Let's see the books.

Shooting in Merrill Park, Jeffery Manor -- two gangs feuding, shell casings all over the grass. Killed a woman, "mother of three."

Channel 9 -- for a split-second -- showed a City Of Chicago feelgood poster in the park, lowest-common-denominator standard issue with the exultant, multicolored stick figures, something like "Hey, Kids, Come Out To Play This Summer."

The city of chicago has painlessly and at the peril of choosing the least qualified, has made a police department, especially at the gold braid level, more reflective of its communities. Its a sad and f#@ked up that these communities cant find the heroes to immulate within the chicago police department or the 47 idiots on the city council. Proco joe, wagenspauck and sposanto, not included. Instead they choose to go to the very parasites that have kept their communities hostage and in a state of arrested developement. Farrakhan, ceasefire interventionist, jagoff jackson etc., alleged murderers, adulterers, known drug dealers and gang leaders. Inverted pillars of their society, the purveyors of hate mongering and perpetual victimhood. It saids alot about the cpd brass, the mayor and this aldermans inability to relate to their constituancy. When an alderman begs for farrakhan, an anti-american coward, who preaches his hate filled vitriol, while hiding behind the american flag and our constitution. A coward who was a bed fellow of one of the biggest tyrannts in the world. When she begs for this POS for help saids alot about her and the citizens she suppose to represent. Its a sad commentary, but those communities are all but lost. The good citizens within have to be reached by other methods. Good parenting can solve alot of the ills. The million dollars given to reputable agencies, instead of ceasefire. If at worst a relocation program for real victims of crime, so as to pick away at the "no snitch"culture. The right way to go about turning off a fire, is not to throw shit or gasoline at it, but an agent that will smother and turn it off. It would be wishful thinking for these políticos to get their heads out of ass and point the finger at the criminals and hold them accountable.

*** Off Topic concerning Rahm ***

Here is an excerpt from a new book by a Newsweek reporter about the Obama presidency and Rahm Emanuel's participation. The book is titled "Kill or Capture: The War on Terror and the Soul of the Obama Presidency"


On drone strikes, Klaidman lays out a slew of reasons why Obama should have been more ambivalent about their use, starting with the fact that the very first drone strike of his presidency claimed not a terrorist, but a prominent pro-government tribal elder and four members of his family (including two children).

Why this didn’t dissuade Obama is left unclear. One possible reason is Emanuel’s enthusiasm. “For all the handwringing among the lawyers and civil libertarians, Obama’s chief of staff understood the political upside to a program that took out high-level terrorists,” Klaidman writes. In fact, Emanuel had a “quasi obsession” with the drone strikes and how they were going to “help my guy” that left “even some CIA veterans uncomfortable.”

This just shows you how politically disgusting our Mayor is!! There is a reason Rahm was pushed out of the White House, Tiny Dancer is a sick little man.

OT:

Commander of 015 has hit a new low. Five people each were denied CU for both Fri and Sat on days. This is after the slips had already been signed by the XO. Commander just decided to deny the time, no reason in particular given, just you can't have your day off and slip returned by the watch commander.

What's interesting is the note attached to the returned slips, (which is from the XO to the watch commander) says in part: problems arise when time is approved far in the future and the number of requests accrue over time. It needs to be the purview of the PRIMARY DSS, to monitor this and make appropriate adjustments...to ensure adequate coverage...on the watch.

So, it needs to be the purview of the PRIMARY DSS, and the commander just comes along and denies time, even though I'm guessing all necessary beats would have been covered. (Otherwise the watch commander would have told us there might be a problem)

Another order in the book reads in part: All requests for (time) must be submitted at least 7 days in advance. Requests submitted less than 7 days in advance will be rejected by the XO. This of course is being done for our convenience, so we can take advantage of the tour of duty exchange. Really?

Everything going on in my life needs to be known 7 days in advance? Maybe I can get a job at the crystal ball unit.

This department is gone I've lost all respect for it. How is it the tiny dancer touts maternity leave for city employees at the beginning of his term. But a PO can't get a couple of days off because his wife has had a complicated birth? Comp time denied and personals denied. I say F U. I'm done working.


Must be talking about 015 again...

A Chicago alderman on Monday was set to officially unveil a new resolution opposing the Supreme Court's 2010 ruling in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission.

--------
Ah, yes. Resolutions, initiatives, marches, gay parades, black parades. The stuff great cities are made of. This city sucks. This is what happens when you elect inept politicians solely based on the color of their skin.


Just another attempt to draw attention away from the homicides, the impending financial doom, etc.

"Oh -- speaking of which, WHERE IS CONGRESSMAN JACKSON?"

Maybe he's with Katherine Jackson...

Michael Jackson's mom reported 'missing' in ongoing family dispute

Though not related, those Jackson folks are hard to keep tabs on!

Just like the "good ol' days" when the mob ran things.

Oddly, there were fewer random killings in those days.

Thank the FBI for the lawlessness in the streets, though I suppose no one could see this coming.

Ald. Joe Moore (49th) ... A CHICAGO ALDERMAN beefing that an election is bought? Really?

Ah, the irony and hypocrisy, after Moore bought his share of elections out of the pockets of slumlords...

Apparently winning an election "Chicago Style" is only okay if it's "your guy" who wins!

Again, DO NOT RESPOND TO THE POSTER WITH THE LAUNDRY LIST of alleged city offers! This poster is a troll from the city. There is no such offer, the city is playing games. THERE IS NO SUCH OFFER, THERE HAVE BEEN NO OFFERS to FOP or the PBPA.

From a PBPA contract negotiations cmte member.

That's two paragraphs after they gave a description of a white man in his 30s. Maybe you read it before the update.

Uh, yeah, "The Raccoon" with the dark circles under his eyes, never gets out in the light, in the back bedroom all day with the video game. "PSSH!" "PSSH!" "PSSH!" with the joystick, teeth grinding together, destroying all his enemies.

Well..."sick" and "little" I'll give you.

Quasi-religious cult. There was nothing nastier than a Hare Krishna when you wouldn't give them money. Same thing.

One reason Fruit of Islam is there is they will follow orders of Farrakhan.

100% of them will VOTE the way Farrakhan tells them to vote.

They will bring others to VOTE the way Farrakhan tells them to vote.

What's the percentage of Chicago Cops who VOTE.

What would happen if every cops wife, mother, significant other or life partner made a pest of themselves with their Alderman about the unsafe conditions because we are short manpower.

Let's just say each Alderman gets a lot of calls; saying that they are talking to thier neighbors about how Alderman So-&-So is neglecting public safety because we can't get enough cops.

Sooner or later they have to do something.

A must read "Circle Of Six" tells an unbeleivable story. louis farakahn played a role in the shooting death of a ny cop. He possibly was even the shooter or took place with beating the cop. You won't beleive this book.

SCC owner, you are so correct! If Austin doesn't understand Farrakhan's record of failure, then she should talk to her mentor, Wilson Frost. Obviously, Austin hasn't paid attention to Farrakhan's inaction.
