Dangerous Highways
- Shootings on two area expressways left two young men wounded overnight, according to police.
A 24-year-old man was shot during a chase between two cars heading south on the Dan Ryan Expressway about 3:15 a.m. Sunday, according to police.
The 24-year-old suffered a leg wound and was taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center, where his condition stabilized, police said.
A witness saw two cars speeding down the highway and then gunfire, police said. The man was dropped off by his friends at 79th Street just above the expressway in the Chatham neighborhood on the South Side.
Earlier, about 1 a.m. Sunday, a young man whose age wasn't available was shot on the Kennedy Expressway near Armitage Avenue in the Bucktown neighborhood on the North Side. Police shut the outbound lanes to search for evidence.
The man was taken to Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center in good condition.
Must be the Troopers' fault since we don't patrol the highways. McCompStat probably won't count these either since we aren't there.

It's because ISP sent 50 troopers to patrol the ghetto.

Who knew there was a medical center hovering above the expressway!
The Trib editors must have taken the day off today.
Admittedly, the ISP are an elite group. But even they cannot have a trooper every mile along every highway they patrol 24/7.
Those warrant teams worked like a charm, they pushed them right onto the expressways!
The 24-year-old suffered a leg wound and was taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center.........
I wonder if Christ is a tier 1 or tier 2 hospital on his health plan?
O' I forgot, only the working people pay
I'm on a highway to hell. Or Gresham.
I thought Bucktown was Trendyville.
And the common point about these shootings are the race of the offender. Always a black man playing with a gun.

Replace "an an elite group" with "has and enforces standards." Other officers can still choose to wash and press their uniforms and clean (never mind shine) their shoes. Some guys dress like bums that work with me. It has nothing to do with how my uniform looks.
I can't remember the last time I saw a trooper on a Chicago expressway. The tollway too except maybe a very bad accident!
Why are u surprised by this they are chiraqy highways
The 24 y.o. shot onte Southern 500 was taken to a tier 1 hospital. Does that freebie welfare pay more than 75%.
They sent 40 to assist Fugitives in serving warrants. Most if not all came from downstate, not the expressways.
Get the right info

Use channel 19 on the CB radio for direct comms to the state police if you drive threw Chicago ghetto areas and break down or get lost.
Breaker one niner. Any Bears out there by golly?
