Calls to 911 report there were six shots fired near Pub Monsen's - Tally-Ho, located at 1951 West Howard Street (near Winchester Avenue) last night around 1:40AM. The shooting occured two blocks away from the wild west style shooting-out that happened near Jordan School six days ago. Eleven-year-old Dean Gill and a eighteen-year-old were hit by the flying bullets in that gun battle.
The alleged 'Tally-Ho' shooter was described to be about 5 foot 7 inches in height - and about 160 pounds in weight. Plus the gun toting shooter was described to be wearing some sort of a hoodie on the top and jeans on the bottom. No age was given.
This is a stark contrast to the description Joe Moore gave upon seeing his perp a few days ago.
Notice, even during the night-time hours, where it is really, really, really dark outside, and the witnesses most likely were very, very, very liquored up, the police were able to get a much better description of the alleged shooter, who shot a gun quickly about six times and got away - as opposed to Joe's description of a 'senior citizen purse snatcher' who ran some two and a half blocks "really, really, really fast," before dropping the black purse at Joe's feet and jumping over a wooden fence.
According to Joe, when his vile crime happened, it was broad day light - and he saw the perp long enough to see the shoes didn't match the black handbag he was carrying. Yet, Joe couldn't come up with a guessiment as what the height and weight of the offender. Joe couldn't tell us what he/she was wearing - other than a pair shoes that didn't go with the color black.
Now we're on the look out for the 'Tally-Ho' gun shooter and a not so fashion conscience, 'SeniorCitizen Purse Snatcher'.
Any guesses who will be caught first - the Shooter or the Snatcher?

CAPS meeting This Thursday 7:oo at the Pottawattomie fieldhouse. Please all addend.
This is two shooting incidents within a block of that exact location.
We need to bring the heat.
This story has to be false from beginning to end. There is no crime in Rogers Park. I know this because last night there were 8 or 10 cop cars and 16 or 18 cops standing around at the corner of Damen & Rogers peering into cars to see if seat belts were in use.
Obviously if there was any crime in Rogers Park our brave officers would be too busy pursuing it to butt into the private business of citizens. Before you wonder, yes, we were among the criminals ticketed for not using a belt while driving 10 mph down the narrow street trying to miss some potholes. It took Officer Fatass 20 minutes to write the ticket in his car -- I assume he has to trace the letters out of a book or something. Can't the City at least give these limited beings preprinted tickets?
But it was good to see so many new faces in the hood. Rogers Park being crime free, none of our Protectors and Defenders against civil liberties had ever been seen around here before. Unless there is more loot to be made, I don't imagine we'll be seeing them again, either. Certainly not chasing down criminals, because we don't have any of those around here.
I figure this vital act of public security cost us around $2000 an hour. It's a good thing we don't need the money to fix those potholes or to bring our public transit system up to 3rd-world standards.
Chicago used to be better than this. Trapping people who dare to use their own judgment as to when they need to strap in used to be the behavior of OCD nannytowns like Schaumburg and Evanston. Chicago had more important things to take care of. But now that we're crime-free, we have to find something for our Finest to do. Thanks to this clever extortion opportunity, 90-pound waitresses were safe for a while from getting beat up. Schoolkids could go about their business without getting shot. And the Authorities have more lunch money. God bless our aldermen, our Protectors and Defenders and our Mayor. What would our town be like without them?
i live here too-
If you could (or can get someone else to) please take notes so that we can post them up on the Broken Heart and my blog for all the people who can't make the meeting. You can email me at: iheart60626@gmail.com
Seat Belt Missions come from downtown. Blame the Mayor. The cops are just doing what they are told to do.
Plus they use them to find drugs and guns.
Chris M. is on the mark. Police are allowed to set up check points. The police can use seat belt checks as a basis to look into a vehicle. It is probable cause for a search once Chicago's finest smell weed, observe contraband in clear view or freak out gangsters who have the intention to shoot up more than just a few arms. Pun intended.
I don't mind taking a ticket in my neighborhood near Damen and Rogers. Besides, Chicago tickets are much cheaper. I got stuck with a ticket in Jackson County, Indiana. What a hassle. I'd rather pay the city of Chicago,then Seymour, Indiana, the $167 deferred adjudication/supervision for exceeding 10, but under 15 mph above the limit.
Look Dave, no one likes a traffic ticket, but lets use some street sense. The 24th District is looking for an excuse to freak out the gangsters who want to make Pottawatomie Park a future venue. Perhaps, it wants to recruit out of Jordan Community and is looking for an excuse to incite the school kids.
Frankly, crime picks up in the summer and if you look at the suburban blotters in Lerner Life, you find all sorts of bazaar stories. The recent murder, near triple murder, in Glenview/Mt. Prospect did not happen at our doorsteps. I recall the murder on a suburban Highland Park Street.
My experience has been that some people are rude. Perhaps, it gets some a rise. Some simply get frustrated and displace. Usually, we all find ourselves in one category or another if we can objectively evaluate our finer moments.
If you live and let live, that is, you ignore the petty things in life and go about your business, you do fine. If you use common street sense, most situations are difused. Perhaps, the person might think about your reaction and realize that maybe s/he took it up one too many notches.
