* Gang Fight @ Lunt and Clark

If you're coding this, we'll call it a "Simple battery in progress." Event number 12491.

CAPS beat 2431 and 2423 - 3:45 PM:
There's a gang war going on around the Morse/ Lunt/Paulina/Ashland/Estes/Greenleaf/Clark area - even though the leaders will tell you differently.

Today 3 or 4 gang-bangers jumped out of a 4-door Grand Prix (Temp Plates) with baseball bats trying to beat the shit out of another person in the east alley off Clark at Lunt. These are gang members - and they're flashing gang signs. Nothing further.

Yesterday scanner reports in the Paulina/Lunt/Morse area mentioned the Vikings were looking for retaliation from a previous gang beat-down by another gang member.

Or, as the officer on the radio said.... "Pay-back!"

I'm on Morse Avenue now, and it's getting crazy out here. Blue lights just screamed southbound through Ashland and Morse, sirens audible from all directions. Welcome to the 49th Dimension, land of obfuscation and denial.

Things are so bad I heard the joeys little friend kevin O'neal is afraid to pop his head out of joey moore ass!!

Hey you two mornons (joey & kevin) tell us again how safe Rogers Parks is becoming! Tell us joey about all the bullshit you sent out to the voters when you where working to get re-elected about how you where going to make Rogers Park a safer neighborhood for all the voters to live in.

I guess all this gang activity, breakins, fighting as well as to many crimes to many to mention is just bloggers blowing things of of porportion.

was this related to Wednesday nights stabbing? While in all honesty, it isn't Joe Moore's fault, his liberal approach to the world doesn't help. In conjunction, our court system sucks. put these jerks in prison. Get them off MY STREETS that I support with MY TAX DOLLARS that thyey are not a part of. MAKE THESE SCUMBAGS GET A JOB and quit being a burden upon society.

What was said by the Tact Sgt was: The la raza were looking for pay back against the vikings. La raza sent in a new death squad that got locked up by the gang team yesterday.

My grandmother used to observe the gangs hanging around her tavern business on the west side. She'd grumble, "I wish the military would come around with a truck and stick them all in the Army!" It was wishful thinking on her part.

Why should the gang bangers get regular, mundane jobs when they can get fast money on the street, tax-free? The majority of them probably wouldn't pass the drug and criminal background checks that most jobs require nowadays, so they couldn't even qualify to work legitimately. Lack of a high school, even a grade school diploma for some of them, would also cause an employer to reject them.

It goes back to what a lot of them are taught about responsibility, values and morals at home, which is nothing. I put the blame squarely on parents, especially today's brand who would rather compromise with kids and be their friends, instead of being disciplinarians and teaching about character.
