* Goon Graffiti in Rogers Park


Joe Moore won't tell you, but we've got a gooning problem in Rogers Park. Less than twenty-four hours after a severe goonings - the gooners are leaving their mark.

Four people have already sent me e-mail photos of these Goon hang-man markings that are now popping up. None of these photos or a press release were from the Alderman's office.

BLOGNOTES: Is this just a coincidence? Why is it these crimes always happen around the Heartland Cafe and Michael James' home?

there's no camera Craig, DUH!!!!

A place close to their old place of troubles for the community dummy

Cameras. Katy Hogan publically says the cameras don't work and are useless.

Yet she keeps approving tax payer money for them.

looks like somebody was playing hangman and the word was goon

Jocelyn said...

right, and that has no meaning. It may as well be the word "flower" right? That word has no significance around these parts after all...

The alderman's birthday party is scheduled for 7/16 at his house. Perhaps he could grace us with his presence long enough to not only top up his war chest but also address the issue of residents getting beaten to a bloody pulp AGAIN and what he's going to do about it?

Just don't call it gooning in front of him. He's very, very sensitive about that.

With Goon, I mean good reason.

Nicorette Sheridan said...

There is another hangman goon symbol on Greenleaf and Glenwood, on the west side of the train wall. I think there is a connection between the symbol and the gooning, but it may not be what you think. Hanging and hangman symbols are used by KKK and neo-nazi members and there are definitely members in our neighborhood. Heads up: There are people out there that are going to make this worse than it is. These people are not heroes; They are damn bigoted supremacists who assume the color of someone's skin is making them do things.

Craig Gernhardt said...

Nicorette is right.

The White Supremacists have linked this site to their call to action website.

Rogers Park is in for a race war people.

Where's Joe Moore?

Craig Gernhardt said...

The white supremacists are really pissed because Michael James was part of this group called "Rising Up Angry' in uptown back in the 60's. Mike James tried to run the white supremacists out of Uptown. Now they want revenge.

The North Coast said...

That's interesting,Craig.

We sure as hell don't need white supremists in the mix. You never saw violence like what we would have if you toss these goons into the stew.

Have read a half dozen or so recent articles on the horrific violence generated in Orange County, CA by a group that calls itself Public Enemy No 1, which is Truth in Advertising. This gang started as a white supremist hate group started by affluent, BORED, Orange Co. teens. It has since swelled vastly, commits ghastly hate crimes, as well as fraud and identity theft. It has aligned itself with the Aryan Brotherhood.

These types of groups are most prevalent in MO and on westward, but they have outposts here.

So let's not fan the flames. I don't believe these goonings are "racial" in character-it is just a matter of being unlucky enough to be the frail older person who crosses the path of these scum.

And I don't believe what we are seeing is a "race war"- just an outsized number of ex-cons and other unplaceable undesirables bein dumped on us because our Aldercreature has made this ward available for the purpose. I don't believe the gooners are representative of their racial group, I only believe that they are a bunch of hard-core felons who will jump any luckless person who crosses their path, and that we need to run them out AND the landlords who harbor them.

It always gets back to very badly run buildings owned and operated by profiteering slumowners who are cozy with our AlderBeast.

Kinda creepy having White Supremacists link this site to theirs. But please it's kind of a long draw to think these people are carrying a 40 year grudge against Mike James.

The pictures look like they are made with chalk. If you are so concerned take a buck of water and wash them off the wall.

Craig Gernhardt said...

Who said I was concerned. These were sent to me from readers.

Plus, I could give a rats-ass the White Supremacists /Neo-Nazi's are still holding a grudge against Michael James and a couple of his buddies named Jewnbug and Tappis. That's his issue he has to deal with.

Toto said...

What a shame. You're not concerned. I would be concerned.

A race war is a very scary thing. Can you provide more info.

Toto said...

Besides, have you been visiting their websites lately? Why?

Craig Gernhardt said...

Here's an excerpt from one of the WS members named Burrhus.

Burrhus, who claims to be from the next paradigm said.... "Michael James and Katy Hogan (a couple) are notorious lefties from back in the 60s, very high profile, politically involved. (See below) Still are. I knew them back then (in my ignorant youth).

I used to live in Rogers Park in the late 70s until Mayor Jane Bryne cleaned the gangs out of the Carbine Green black housing project and they moved in to RP. I had to move when my 6 year-old daughter told me that she was afraid to go to the library anymore.

The yuppies tried to gentrify the neighborhood at the same time as the blacks started moving in. It has been a constant struggle between the two since.

Notice that neither Hogan nor the drake reporter mentioned the race of either the victim or the thugs. I know that neighborhood. I can assure you that it was black-on-white (maybe black-on-black if gang related).

I liked living there, near the lake, good public transportation, fun place to be. Then the drakes came. Shit time. Now Chicago is 70% non-white. Not like the 1950s when I grew up here. Unbelievable. Disgusting.

What's a drake?

neocynic said...

Just looked it up. It means male duck? Is that what you mean?

Get your nasty self of the blog. Your vent is useless.

""Hanging and hangman symbols are used by KKK and neo-nazi members."" ""There are people out there that are going to make this worse than it is""

Worse then it is? Hords of teenagers beating up people and potentialy killing them, unless they are stopped and possibly they are commiting hate crimes of unstoppable porportions and thats not the worst it gets?

First of all you don't know who drew that, what if it was one of the gooners maybe it was a goonee fed up. Graffiti that is gang related is as bad as KKK. I think they are both equal in their hate and crimes against races. Gang activity, gooning doesn't allow for the respect of protection. And to say at this level of crime KKK is worst then gangbanging is fooling themselves.

Nicorette Sheridan said...

"...and that's not the worst it gets?" no, dorothy, it isn't. Gooning is bad enough but if you throw a group of people who think that all [fill in the race] are responsible and they start attacking people who are not gooners, just of the same skin tone then yes, it definitely becomes a bigger problem.

"First of all you don't know who drew that" -At the moment you don't have the unfortunate privilege to know what I know.

Nicorette Sheridan said...

"Graffiti that is gang related is as bad as KKK."

I didn't say otherwise. Just because I mention something that could make a horrible situation worse you seem to insinuate that I approve of gooning? Raise of hands: Who here loves gangbanging and gooning? None of you? Okay, then we are agreed. Let's never question that ever again.

Nicorette Sheridan said...

"Gang activity, gooning doesn't allow for the respect of protection."
-what are YOU saying?

neocynic said...

Can you clarify on what you mean by "You don't have the unfortunate experience to know what I know?" Are you referring to knowing who wrote the hangman graffiti or something else?

DorothyParker007 said...

First of all I never said you Nicolette nor anyone reading my word said you approved of gooning. But I am going to equate gangbanging being as bad as for the races as the supreme assholed the KKK. I am not a party or supporter of either.

Who actually drew the diagram do you even know yet? What if it was the gooners? I feel my questions are valid as well as my point of view. I had a friend stabbed to death she was white the killer was black, was it racial, nope it was a crime, but gooning is potentially a racist crime. I had a friend walking home two summers ago and a gang of black kids went after him, because he was "a cracker" thats what the adorable gooners said. And my friend said the hardest thing for him to say to the police was that they were all black. Many of us don't have time for racism, its a busy world we do volunteer work and try to make things better, but yes i stick withmy statement does stomping peoples heads in get any worst? No it doesn't its as bad as worst gets.

DorothyParker007 said...

my i am chatty, but here is craigs quote""Less than twenty-four hours after a severe gooning, the gooners are leaving their mark.""

This states that the drawing are being done by the gooners themselves, which is where I took and made mt response. My response is based that it is the gooners, not goonees.

Now do what uncle wally saids and go throw some water on the drawings. Create block clubs people, meet every week get a game plan and take back your neighborhood. peace nicolette and all
