Add Two

  • Another apparent homicide on the West Side early Sunday morning claimed the life of man identified by the Cook County medical examiner's office as Chad Carrasco, 35.

    Chicago Police Department News Affairs [...] said police responded to a call of shots fired at 5:09 a.m. and found the victim lying on the ground in the 3500 block of West Lake Street in the East Garfield Park neighborhood with a gunshot wound to the back of the head.
  • The Saturday death of a 55-year-old Melrose Park man who was shot in July on the South Side has been ruled a homicide, authorities said.

    Reginald Thomas was sitting in a car with a 57-year-old woman about 12:30 a.m. July 11 in the 7200 block of South Dobson Avenue in the Grand Crossing neighborhood when another car pulled up and someone inside fired shots at them – hitting both in the head, according to Chicago Police Department News Affairs...
That's at least 497 as far as we can tell.

Kind of sad when we have more murders in a year in chicago than police officers hired.

55 year old was shot in 2011. Does that count for this year or last?

You can expect Tiny Dancer and his tutu kisser, McHideTheMurders, to pull out all the stops this week to keep that magic number below 500.

Imagine, with Tiny spouting off in the national media with his anti-gun agenda, how the 2nd Amendment crowd is licking their chops to return the favor by yelling "500" from the mountaintops. It is, after all, a much sexier number than 498 or 499, right? And, gee, wouldn't that be hurtful to any future plans he may have for running for Prez?

For 2013 CompStat definitions will be changed. We will now record deaths by GSW as being death by natural causes.

What could be more natural than to get shot in the head in the Sanctuary City of Chicago?

Crime is down.

Does anyone know if a justifiable homicide is considered in the numbers? Someone brought up that point and I can't get a straight answer. Since it went to murders and not homicides.

Anyone know?

Oh and can we count the 11th dist toilets as murders, cause they be DEAD. Backed up by Lt Andrews BULLSHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

7 second watch cops bid out of the dist because of JA. Can you guys figure it out? It would have been at least 10 but some guys did not have the seniority to bid out.

It would be a real shame if we ended up at 499, because then McSwell will be able to say despite predictions, our homicide/murder/killing rate was under 500.

McBeerFoam is watching the numbers like a hawk, don't think otherwise!

Just as we were taught by the McMedia that "critical" means almost dead, McTrib reports two teen were "playing" with a loaded handgun. Dude shoots dude in the head, now he's dead.
McReckless discharging = NO Murder/Homocide.
McMath does it again !!!

The Tribune is more than way behind.
Here is the email I just sent them.

I'm done. Please cancel my subscriptions.

The front page story and the pictures of the year were over the top for me. Showing a police officer throwing a punch at an out of control druggie right next to the picture of a police office funeral is just sick and shows no respect for our first responders. I dont need to see this anymore.

Sincerely

wow i have no doubt it at 500 already
interesting how the slum-times and trashbune come up with such low #'s
while SCC& Truenews/dslc , and now crimeinchicago blogspot come up with #'s way over what they say
what it looks like to me people will start to carry whether it's legal or not and take a roll of dice on jury of twelve rather be carried by six

It will be like the crash scene from Fast Times. Rham and Mcwhatshisname will be in a crashed car(the car is the metaphor for Garrys career). The news for 500 homicides in Chicago is on billboards and seen by both occupants. Mcwhatshisname says, *I have the ultimate set of stories, I can fix this." Rham looks at the sign and says,"you cant fix this mess Mcwhatshisname." "Barry is gonna shit..he gonna kill us....he gonna kill you and he gonna kill me, he gonna kill us. Mcwhatshisname hears this and says...make up your mind dude, is he gonna shit or is he gonna kill us. Rham says,"first he gonna shit...then he gonna kill us!"
