Officer assaulted..

More Attacks on Off-Duty Officers?

We can only guess that since they didn't involve gun crime, they don't count, but the guys over at CrimeInBoystown blog have an exclusive as far as we can tell:

• In a stunning development this morning, the 19th district handled two calls of off-duty police officers being jumped, apparently in two separate incidents near Wrigley Field around 5 o'clock this morning. Few details are available at this hour.
  
  In the first incident, an off-duty officer who was riding his bike to work was jumped by four men near the intersection of Grace and Sheffield. An on-duty unit made contact with the officer and the officer is OK. According to a "flash" issued to on-duty officers, the attackers, described as four male blacks in their 20's, were last seen running south and possibly west from the scene of the attack. One offender wore a red sweat jacket with two white stripes and the other three offenders wore all black. News of the attack came first from the 19th district desk.
  
  Moments later, at 5:07AM, dispatchers announced that two off-duty offers sought shelter in the CFD firehouse at 1052 W. Waveland, just outside of Wrigley's left field wall. According to dispatch reports, the police officers went to to fire station for help after being "beaten up." No further information is available at this time.

So in a single weekend, we have 7 attacks on officers at 6 locations. But hey, crime is down!

If you have ever wondered what it is like to be a police officer, click on the link above. As you can see, it is not all glamour, girls showing cleavage to get out of getting a ticket, or free meals at the doughnut shop.

This is another example of out of control violence and more importantly, bad policing.  This is not a criticism of Chicago's policing tactics, but of the fact that we have had several Commanders in the last few years and none have addressed the problem of gangs until recently.

Even with the help of Senator Mark Kirk, gangs still run wild, brazenly attacking females, which is usually not reported in mainstream media, and robbing and now more and more, assaulting the cops along with private citizens.

It is obvious we need citizens to report more violence and crime and we need police to take a more pro-active stance against the gangbangers and the people who collaborate with them.

It is not too late, we still may need to call in the National Guard. The police are being assaulted more and more, so it is time for some assistance.

Senator Kirk had it partially correct when he stated he wanted "all of them arrested." All means some politicians, nuisance business owners as well as the thugs that make this city a cess pool and have earned it the nickname "Chi-raq."

To do this, we may need the National Guard and soon it time to admit the situation is out of control and stop this madness.

New Racism

This is the most racist article written..the author twists statistics around to prove lies.  It is obviously a look at me, look at me attempt by an ignorant hack tryinig to get attention.

Blacks are subjected to harsher sentencing than others, whites and Hispanics. In this article she compares methadone to crack cocaine. Thee is no comparison.

Crack cocaine and powder cocaine are the same drug, but because blacks use crack more than whites, the penalty for crack is a felony while the penalty for powder cocaine is a misdemeanor.

The racism in this country needs to stop.

Is it violence or hate?

Another teen has decided that the gun is the answer to the unrelenting violence and bullying that he was experiencing. Luckily, a teacher was able to TALK this suffering young man out of destroying his life and his tormentors and she did it by talking him out of it ionstead of  dropping him with a bullet as the NRA and some have suggested is the answer to these situations. Finally there is an answer why these tragic incidents play out over and over in our so called civilized society. The shooter is not mentally ill nor was he emulating a hero in one if the many shoot em up, blow em up movies that our society seems to worship.

Now it remains for us to come up with a solution to end bullying and its consequences, sometimes deadly.

Corrupt Politicians

Blago get 14 years in prison and is already scheming to get out early by "admitting" he has a substance abuse problem and can only sleep after drinking alcohol
As is often done, Blago did many "good deeds" when it became apparent that he was going to be indicted for official corruption.  This did not save him, however, and he will be off to prison soon.
Illinois is one of the most corrupt states, if not the most corrupt states in America.
The number of alderman sent to jail for corruption makes one dizzy, often with father convicted and son following in daddy's footsteps and being convicted too. Depicted on a YouTube Video tittled "Selling out the Community Pt1-2-3, Cong Danny Davis, (former)State Sen Rickey Hendon, Education Chief Michael Scott and Arnie Duncan are having lunch and cursing out mark Clark and friends as they try to ask them a few questions. Throughout the video, they are rude, refuse to speak to either of the gentleman asking questions, direct the gentlemen to "kiss my ass" and Cong Davis calls the police to remove them from the restaurant. Cong Danny Davis reportedly sponsors the "Second Chance Bill" and others designed to give people with felony convictions a second chance to obtain employment and live life without the handicap of being a convicted felon. Cong Davis is often seen yelling for the police concerning these "poor people who need a second chance" if they ask a question he does not like or attempt to ask a question as he does Mark and the others on this Youtube video. Michael Scott and Rickey Hendon also on the video are not in this order, dead from suicide and resigned from office while being investigated for couruption.
More on Cong "these poor people need a second chance-get me the police) Davis. Davis runs for office continually, the last office he ran for was Mayor. Davis dropped out so that there would be one consensus candidate and that was Carol Moselye Braun. When candidates run for office and have fundraising parties all over town, then drop out, do they keep the money they raised?
The City Council is now embroiled in a conflict over ward remapping. Why? Because 175,000 black have left Chicago and are losing their status as the majority. Black Alderman want to take the wards from the white community, while the Hispanic communities are gaining wards. Its obvious, our politicians are doing nothing but collected salaries as public school children are killed in records numbers,in fact, in the past 2-3 years, there was a running total of public school kids killed, child sex traffickers/human traffickers run wild and brutally assault law abiding citizens while our politicians do nothing and curse out their "constituents" and/or call the police to them if they dare ask what they are doing to help stop the violence and corruption. As for the police, they are arresting each other, have also been getting killed in record numbers, cannot find a Superintendent without a lot of controversy and in some areas of the city, mostly African American are useless or worse as they sometimes in error target the victims as the criminal. the unending groups of people being released from prison or having their convictions overturned is a testament to that.

Still, corruption runs rampant. The last election, I voted for Jesus Christ or God in several races.  if I meet a politician in my daily activities, which I sometimes do, I decline to volunteer to do anything for these corrupt, useless individuals and now knowing they are mostly corrupt and useless, they can kiss my ass.

Fire Safety

We had fire drills at school when I was growing up and fire drills at work when I started work at my first real grown-up job. so it was only natural that we have fire drills at home.

Whever there was a fire in the neighborhood that resulted in a fatality, the fire department would canvass the neighborhood, passing out smoke detectors and fire safety tip booklets. It is now the law that all homes including apartments have smoke detectors installed to prevent unnecessary deaths due to fires.

Most fire deaths are from smoke inhalation so smoke detectors with working batteries are very important. Batteries should be checked once a month and replaced when signals they give are weak or casn barely be heard.

These tips below should prevent fatalities in case you are caught in a fire.

If a smoke detector goes off, before you open the door, feel the door, if it is hot, do not open the door as the fire may be right outside. Try to leave by a window. Sit on the window ledge and signal to let firefighters or others know where you are so they can save you. If possible, stuff clothes underneath the doors to stop smoke from coming into the room where you are.

If the door is cool, bend down low and very slowly and cautiously open the door and crawl to the designated exit or to help get out smaller children or elderly relatives. Once in a group, everyone crawl out and meet at the designated place.

Never take the elevator in the event of a fire, take the stairs and again stay low if you are able to take the stairway out.

Families should have fire drills at least once a month to prepare for what to do in the event of a fire. Older children or adults should be in charge of getting the smaller children out of the house in the event of a fire and smaller children can be taught what to do also in the event of a fire such as calling for an older child or adult and to NEVER hide in a closet or under the bed.

Everyone should be taught to get out as fast as possible and do not stop to call 911 Get out first and call 911 from a neighbor's house of from a cell phone.

Once out, everyone should meet at a place designated as the meet up place during your fire drills.

Contact your local fire department for more safety tips and remember to have a fire drill and advise your neighbors and friends to have fire drills as well. The lives you save may be your own.

Fire Safety Tips

Osama Bin Laden is dead

Terrorism may not be over but this sick monster is dead. Good riddance, do not come back as a ghost or a rat, as some have suggested, jokingly.

Our President, Barack Obama is proving to be one of the greatest presidents ever. The economony is on the mend, unemployment is down and Bin Laden or binnylala as I named him totally by accident as I planned an attack on him to get that $50 million and to get a monster off the earth and send him back down to the bowels of hell where he came from.

Seriously, I could not go to Pakistan or Afghanistan to hunt down this sicko but it adding my 2- cents as to his whereabouts stopped some of the feelings of helplessness one feels when the victim of a crime by criminals who strike in the middle of the night and whe least expected.

News articles say some advisors suggested Obama wait to launch the attack but as the Commander-in-Chief, Obama ordered the attack be carried outright now and it proved to be the right orders.

Now, turn our attentions back to the human traffickers destroying our country from winthin. their day is coming too, soon.
