Post subject: Drugs and Gangs on Morse Ave today at 2:35 pm.
While two gang members were on the CTA platform causing a commotion, shouting various slogans and phone numbers to look-outs on the street below in a choreographed attempt to distract others, a group of youth gathered in front of Ostermans office.
Just then one after another, two adult males secretly walked past and handed two items to the boys that were quickly hidden. One of the adult men walked north on Glenwood while the other waked west, past two marked squad cars then north on Greenview. After the transaction, the gangbangers on the platform walked down the stairs and exited on Morse.
Called 911 from the platform as cops sat in squad cars in front of Washington Mutual. Rogers Park 2000 seems to think that we suffer from a worse perception of crime than in other communities.
If there wasn’t so much crime in RP, RP2000 would be correct.

Thank you for posting this on Forum 49 Joe. I have a couple of questions, I would post them on the forum but I'm banned.
Was anyone manning the Polititians office at 1409 W. Morse when you were witnessing this action?
Do you see this activity more than once a day or week? Is this activity more in the morning, afternoon or night?
What was the squad car doing about the situation? Were officers inside or outside of the squad car?
In your documentary you did last year. Did you believe those "CRIMES DOWN" speeches from Harry and Joe? You recorded them, right?
Do you think the 1409 West Morse, Polititians office has helped in removing this activity?
By the way, thanks for the tip on the Red Door Animal Shelter.

This has nothing to do with the subject other than I never heard of the Red Door Shelter until now, thank you, I'm going to check them out.
Since I was on the CTA platform, I was unable to tell if anyone was in the 1409 W. Morse office.
Due to the CTA construction, I have not seen the gang activity as regulary as I did. However, when it stops the gangbangers rule Morse Ave.
The Police Officers were inside the squad cars. We need beat officers on the sidewalks
Harry is all talk and no action when it comes to to the hellhole that is Morse Ave. His office has not helped as I continue to see gang activity on the 14 hundred block of Morse Ave.

Joe and Craig do what I do, just look the other way when you see them, don't make a big deal over them and let them do what they want, if the cops aren't going to do anything, you guys sure can't.
People 'looking the other way' is exactly what those scumbags want. What they don't like is someone paying attention to them.
Craig, how about starting a 'hall of shame' photo gallery here? "Have you seen me" portraits of our beloved gangbangers out on Morse. I'm sure there are a few people reading this blog who can contribute a picture or two.
