One could venture down a couple of roads with this sad incident. Yet, I'll leave the quotes to all of you that come by this post. Have at it in the comments, and Happy New Year.

1 killed, 1 hurt in West Side shooting

1 killed, 1 hurt in West Side shooting



"Gang Related"? Ya Think?

I say targeted assassinations. Just because they use the term "Gang", people turn a blinds eye and move on since it doesn't affect them. That's naivety in its simplest form. Gangs and crimes always migrate. The question looms, what truly is being done about it?

The answer is shocking. Nothing. The perpetrators that carry out the shootings are never charged with "Conspiracy" among the standard charge of murder, or premeditated. For some odd reason the County, and States Attorney tasked with determining punishment, never apply the Illinois version of The RICO Act once these suspects are caught. The question looms still. Why?  

State agency overrules CPS for charter funding

State agency overrules CPS for charter funding


Now you care for discussing how fucked up this is? No input from taxpayers for starters. And only God knows who created this unconstitutional agency. That old saying rings true. "Follow the money."

A legislator wants this "eliminated", probably on the grounds this dark operation agency does the bidding of a dictator. Decades ago there was a saying. "Follow the money". Maybe connecting the dots would prove difficult, but let's play the conspiracy theory game.  Teachers and workers get pensions ripped off because the money is buried in a back pocket of politicians, and bankers. An agency is magically, and possibly unconstitutionally created that overrules a public institution that gets a huge slice of taxpayer funds, unbeknownst to the people, the public institution, teachers, and workers.

The secret, possibly unconstitutional agency demands the public institution to  "Build two schools" in neighborhoods that already have boarded up closed schools in such places. So the money they swiped, isn't going towards upgrading the existing structures, it's funneled into other hands for building new schools that's a complete waste of taxpayer funds.

Hey, you don't have to take my word for it. Just read the article, and "follow the money". I can go outside and take a picture of a closed school right now. I'm willing to wager, I can go back out same time next year and take the same photo. If that isn't fucked up, just "follow the money".

At the very least, the brawling couples will be a quick arrest. Yet, the elephant in the room once again, how, and why did this guy have a concealed weapon on his person when the law isn't in effect?

As for the rest of these shootings, well you know targeted hits when you see them.

Okay, I read the article unlike a certain ex-governor from Alaska, and I'm scratching my head over this one.

They came specifically to that place "looking for a girl", and the victim is from the suburbs? Who else was in this place? Okay young Sherlock Holmes, get cracking on this head shaker.

2 Charged With Chicago Lawn Murder « CBS Chicago


So young yet I wonder how extensive the rap sheet is on both? I can't help but feel, they knew the victim. Just the article's description of the attack, leaves me with the impression they laid in wait.

I on the other hand, if prosecuting, would dig a little deeper and prosecute them with the full extent of the law. Why you ask? Well for starters, how did they obtain the weapon? If illegally obtained, why isn't the person they obtained it from, regardless if bought or stolen, not charged? They do have a law in effect should such occur.

I guess you could call it a pet peeve of mine. Our prosecutors never follow up on how these weapons are obtained, and why they never prosecute a person buying, or not reporting a weapon sold or stolen. Is it a matter of paperwork? I would hope that isn't the case. Yet, behind every sale or stolen weapon, there is a person or business behind it. That's the impression I get, and it isn't laying in wait.

2 Dead, 4 Wounded In Shootings Since Monday Afternoon « CBS Chicago



Meanwhile the NRA claims "more guns" will solve this. That's flat out bullshit.

These are gangs. Criminals carrying out planned assassinations, or retaliatory shootings in an attempt of controlling the drug market. When asked of the NRA about that, all you here is either crickets, or don't encroach on my 2nd amendment rights. When they use that 2nd amendment bogus argument, ask them who's side are they on? Ask them if they honestly support a criminals right "to keep and bear arms"? Should they say no, then ask them what in the hell is so wrong with universal background checks? Should they throw that bullshit conspiracy theory, "they'll have data on me", inform them, the fucking phone company already has more data on them as opposed to a simple background check.

The constitution does not give criminals the "right to keep and bear arms". No state constitution, unless you live in Idaho and run for office, gives convicted criminals that right. Yeah, I'm with you there. What in the fuck was Idaho thinking? It's simple folks. None of us want people with mental issues, and convicted criminals having access to guns. Oh, I forgot, there's another super stupid state that grants the blind the right to own a gun. This is not a unique situation here in Chicago. This is happening all over the country. Just pick up your local newspaper, or watch your local news program, not cable.

Yet I digress. This insane behavior will continue until these so-called elected leaders lock themselves in a room with input from all communities, and come up with a sane, sensible gun legislation bill that includes universal background checks. This can be done, unlike that bullshit, idiotic NRA position.

The odds of all of them having gang ties is high. Using the vehicle as a weapon justifies the officers response. Now we just hope whomever is prosecuting this case seeks the maximum under current law.

Happy Holidays.

Rauner Picks Up Endorsement From Cook County GOP « CBS Chicago

Rauner Picks Up Endorsement From Cook County GOP « CBS Chicago


Who? A "Cook County GOP"?

WTF?  Here it is, not even 2014 and we got this guy, oxymoron alert: fiscal conservative spending money like crazy, on television ads. That in itself should inform any voter this is bad news for the entire states economy if this guy is ever elected Governor. 

Imagine the tax giveaways he'd give corporations? Now imagine the tax increases he'd slap on the poor, and disappearing middle class? Don't shake your head, just look at the track record of all GOP governor's across the states. Not one of them can brag and claim a budget surplus. Then take a moment and watch them go after women's, voting, workers, health, and equality rights. Don't shake your head, just look at the track record. I can hear the battle cry now. Food Stamps, Welfare Queens, Voter Fraud, More Stricter, Unconstitutional Abortions Laws, Destroy Labor Unions, Including Police, and Fire, And a Gun in Every Residents pocket, Regardless if They Have a Criminal Record! Don't believe it? Just look at their track record. Hell! Better yet, look at what they did in Michigan. Rape Insurance? WTF?

Bill Daley in my opinion, is a "Wall Street Democrat". That said, his own internal polling informed him, the people would not back him for multiple reasons. I'd call it Daley-itis. Yet, being more "fiscally conservative" then this GOP guy, he saved his money. But this GOP guy could care less. If you like wasting your money, and that of your donors, how about an ad that tells the people your plan? We are kind of sick of these catch phrases. They don't inform, they just make us change the channel. Oh wait, if you did tell us what we already know your going to do, we still would not vote for you. But that doesn't seem to phase this guy. He just loves spending money. That's bad news for any economy.

Just jaw dropping isn't it? The only thing that will reduce these numbers more, is the legalization of marijuana. Only a complete idiot will risk their lives selling harsher drugs like crack, and heroin.

Here's the logic behind my theory. Crack-heads, and heroin addicts are much easier to spot for not only regular people, but law enforcement also. A pot smoker on the other hand, a totally different animal. Once you smell it, you know their next stop is a store, or refrigerator. And besides, pot heads will not give up their sources simply because they may not remember. A junkie, or crack head on the other hand, will sell out their entire family, and friends for a hit, or fix. This makes policing much easier. So legalize marijuana, because only the idiots will be out there selling the more deadly drugs.

I'm curious on the odds of the 2 shootings "blocks away" not being random. The other, appears it was targeted, and the odds of the victim knowing the shooter is higher. Expect more retaliation.

That folks, is a targeted killing. Meanwhile, our leaders appear to have dropped their sentencing guideline reform march. I guess it's up to our prosecutors to begin slapping premeditation, along with a host of weapons violations, and attempted assassination charges, regardless if the kid had gang affiliations.

It is, what it is folks. A targeted killing. Now, start charging them properly.

How odd is that? If you read the article, there appears to be actual idiots "taping get out" notes on this guys store. Somebody is actually upset this guy rid the neighborhood of a total, repeat, douche offender.

I wonder how they would have felt if this bag of crap executed everyone in the store? Would there be "sorry, he was misunderstood notes?' I'd like the police do a little surveillance on this store, and find out who's leaving the notes, and "threatening phone calls." One can bet it's a bag of shit family member. How odd is that?

Despite Headlines, Chicago Crime At Lowest Levels In Decades « CBS Chicago

Despite Headlines, Chicago Crime At Lowest Levels In Decades « CBS Chicago


"Despite" this article, the pattern/motive of any of these killings is beyond redemption. Our elected leaders, prosecutors, and even church officials, are doing nothing but hiding their heads in the sand, wishing it would just go away.

Look at the pattern, or should I be bold and say, the way these killings are being carried out. Turn around, and observe how they are charged when caught. Slaps on the wrist, no follow up on where the criminals obtained their weapons, and the arrogant attitude simply because, it isn't a frequent occurrence where they live.

Break that so called graph down, and compare it via neighborhoods, not a totality of all shootings. Once that is done, we hear the same old song. "More officers are deployed where it's highest." So why does it continue where more officers are deployed? That's the question no reporters ask.

Each time you pick up a paper, or see it on the news, the killings appear as targeted "Hits". You hear, or read the accounts. "A person/persons walks up or "drives by", and shoots the intended target or targets." Well folks, in my book, that's premeditated murder. Yet, they are never charged as such. Why? Are they truly wishing it would just go away or, we will never notice?

Meanwhile our legislature sits on its collective ass. It's up to the people. So parents, grab your kids, teens, and young adults and give them the wake-up speech.

Ask them if they hope enjoying  a 40th birthday? Show them there is nothing but death, and prison on the street corners, bus stops, and alley's where they sell addictive drugs. Instill in them the value of education. Don't repeat the failed "Say No To Drugs" speech. Go one better. And ingrain in them, a Say No To Stupidity mantra. Why you ask? Because no person on this earth likes being called STUPID. It's time for the wake-up speech.

If I didn't know any better, I'd say this is what they call a "Hit". I do hope our elected lawmakers, and prosecutors are paying attention.

It appears they (lawmakers and prosecutors), just see it as another "gang related shooting". Yet, one must look at exactly how this was carried out. Under the law, this was premeditated. Why else would the shooter lay in wait for the intended target? Pay attention, and begin charging accordingly.

Translation, tax increases for the people of Florida. None for the people of Illinois.

Just like sports teams, the shake-down of taxpayer funds continues. We all know they were trying to make lawmakers give them a deep tax cut at the peoples expense. They can deny it all they want. But you can take too the bank, some deal was struck in Florida. Just be on the lookout Florida for price increases in your goods.

Man Shot And Killed In Englewood « CBS Chicago



I hate being right on this subject.

Go right ahead and click the link and read the article. This was a planned assassination. Sure people will say it's just gangs battling for "turf". Yet, if you have a vehicle waiting for you after the deed is done, that's a targeted assassination. A "hit" such as this should fall under the State version of the RICO Act.  Yet so far, I'm not hearing or seeing prosecutors touting such. Days, months, or years later, I keep finding out they keep slapping them on the wrist via releasing them, so they can acquire another illegally obtained firearm.

That only means, these murderous hit squads should never see daylight again. So while our politicians squabble over a "tougher sentencing guideline", this criminal pattern should weigh heavy on their minds. I hate being right.

Did you notice after reading the article, not one person was robbed? These are nothing more but attempted assassinations. Time for prosecutors to up the ante.

And yes folks, with the exception of the one dead, there will be retaliations. This is what gang/drug wars do. If you think it's so bad in major cities, just Google Mexican newspapers and really see how horrific it can get.

Our prosecutors need a wake up call and begin charging these assassins for exactly what they do. These are not random shootings, nor robberies. These are planned assassination attempts. Up the ante.

If I had studied journalism, I might not have many sources.

For starters, I'd ask about this nitwits criminal record. You know, general stuff like, is he a repeat offender? And if so, how in the hell did he manage acquiring a weapon?

It's tough questions like that, many journalist refuse asking for fear of being kept out of the loop. Another thing I'd make an attempt at, is getting an interview with this nitwit, and get his back-story. You know, simple questions such as, what led you into a life of crime? And, how did you acquire that weapon presuming he had multiple offenses on his "rap sheet?"

Yeah, had I studied journalism, I might not have many sources.

I like the advice the police give for these transactions. Do it in the "police parking lot", or in the vicinity of a police department. Having trust in people contacted from a website that already has a sleazy reputation isn't a very smart thing either.

Planned attacks. That could fall under the definition of terrorism. What say you lawmakers? We know drug cartels use the same tactic when they seek to wipe out any competition.

So, I guess I'm a little curious why our prosecutors don't add conspiracy with premeditated murder attempts? Seems logical, yet we never heard of it. Time to blow the dust of your version of the RICO Act.

How much more evidence does my theory need?

The only exception is the lover's quarrel, or drug deal gone haywire. Yet, look at the others. Targeted shootings. Do your job prosecutors. Drive by shootings are conspired assassination attempts. Charge them when you catch them as such.  

Shootings In Chicago Down 25 Percent From Last Year « CBS Chicago

Shootings In Chicago Down 25 Percent From Last Year « CBS Chicago


Isn't odd that every time they trot this statistic out, the second or third headline just screams "2 dead, 14 wounded over Thanksgiving weekend."  And the columnist is correct. You just can't help but notice how can this be?

Well, they compare it to past years. Okay, fine. Yet here's my problem. The shootings have evolved. From this viewpoint, they appear more targeted as opposed to the past. It was a rarity when a robber would just shoot the victim. These days, they just don't care.

The gangs scout out neighborhoods for rivals. This, in its simplest form, is premeditation of murder. In layman's terms, a targeted assassination attempt. So we have our version in this State, of the RICO Act. Yet rarely, these perpetrators are charged with such. Think about that the next time a "drive by" occurs. The act in itself is a conspiracy to commit murder, and none of the offenders are charged under the State version of the RICO Act. How can this be?

Man Charged In Pizza Delivery Robbery After Victim Spots Him On Facebook « CBS Chicago



Wow! What an idiot. I guess one could call "Facebook" the new source of the police mugshot book.

I'd go so far and predict that a great majority of gang members, robbers, murders, and vile predators have their mugshot plastered on that site. But back too this idiot. I noticed they didn't slap an illegal weapons charge. Maybe for the sake of brevity, the reporter didn't think it necessary? Oh well, I'll take it that we must follow the trial and see if the prosecutors office determine the weapon was illegally obtained. I'm betting it is.

You can't help but wonder if our law enforcement officers are not using that website. All one has to do is just type in a name and boom, criminals.
