WTF? I know that's a lame thing to say and a lame way to say it but... Seriously, WTF? Do their parent(s) teach them ANYTHING? What's the point of this day after day?

I feel for the day they wake up and they're 35 and they scrambling for any job and realize how much they've wasted their life. I see it every day living in my alley near Bryn Mawr.

what parents? it's obvious that these are "throw away kids". this is what psychiatrists and psychologists call kids that their parents wish they never had... or they did want them, only for the money they can get from the government to support them (or to buy drugs, and other crap).

...let's hope these kids are using birth control.

I think we've got a real bad gang problem in Rogers Park. Wonder what Joe Moore thinks?

let's just hope they shoot each other and not us! In Joe Moore's world - I think everything is dandy. You would think he would be up in arms about this problem and going crazy. I seriously do not understand their complacency!

Why don't the useless idiot dog owners do positive loitering? They could toss their dog shit at the urban youffs who are causing the problems. It would be better than their current practice of befouling the entire neighborhood.

Hmmm...I guess since moving up here in May that I just don't notice all the bad stuff. Don't get me wrong, there is a lot of bad things that happen (I live right by the Morse Hellhole and a half block from the Ashland/Pratt scary laundrymat). But I wouldn't mind seeing some of the good things about the RP posted up on here.

Hey Craig, what kind of scanner do you have, I am thinking of buying a new one so I can get to the scenes of crime and attempt to report on it rather than help the victims faster than I have been, so what kind you got?
