Two teens were stabbed by unknown offenders while hanging around the McDonald's at 6800 N. Clark around 6:20 p.m. Dec. 19. One of the teens, a 16-year-old boy, told police that he and his friend were approached by a group of unknown offenders who stabbed them. The 16-year-old received a cut to the side of his head from the knife. The second victim, a 17-year-old male, was taken to St. Francis Hospital with the knife still in his back.Okay, all my new, young, readers. Let's open up. What the fuck is going on in all of your lives? This stabbing was two hours before "Freaky" got stabbed. "Nu Nu' wasn't the only only one who got stabbed in the back? It's not all about "Frostbite" now, is it? Is this all part of the Insane Cuthroat Gangtas Wars? Or something entirely different?
The knife was removed from the back of the victim's, who was listed in stable condition. Police described the victim and his mother as uncooperative, saying they would provide no information about the attackers. Source.
Blognotes: bblocki.c.g.. Please, take your time and construct proper sentences without texting or caps. Please! Neighbors, let's not jump down DaWord, yaya g, or bblock i.c.g., or any other teens trying to verbally work out issues on this blog. Michael Harrington, a father of two, feels this communication is good for the neighborhood. I agree.

I'm sorry if I come off to strong but I'm working on the assumption that the two new posters you spoke of are old enough to be talked to in that manner. They certainly act as if they know how the world works (and I'm sure people are saying the same thing about me). So until I learn otherwise, I'm gonna try to speak to them as I would a peer. they seem to be able to take it, their penchant for caps and atrocious spelling aside.
There is no war. These boys are out here trying to make a name for themselves. What happen was not cool I am glad the police know who they looking for and justice well prevail.
FUCK ANYBODY WHO GOT SOMETHING BAD TO SAY ABOUT FREAKY
FUKK YOU NOSEY ASS PEOPLE YALL NEED TO MIND YALL FUCKIN BUSINESS IT B-BLOCK BOT BOSWORTH BOOTY BOYZ B-EST B-LOCK L-IVIN' O-VA C-HICAGO K-NODAT
Dear B-Blcok Bam,
I speak for most Rogers Park residents. We mourn the passing of young Isiah Stroud.
We know that as a child of God, Isiah deserved of all the hope, encouragement, and support we could give him. I wish that we could have known of Isiah and been there to help nurture the great potential he had, as noted by his mom and his friends.
Isiah's murder was a tragedy, as is any murder. You have seen comments on this blog from many neighbors whom you describe as "nosey" and you demanded that we mind our own business. Our comments have ranged from expressions of compassion and sadness to anger. No matter what has been said or why, I want to tell you that we believe that Isiah Stroud is our business. His death in our community and how he died are our business. I wish Isiah’s life had been a part of our business as well.
It’s our business because we live here. We are raising our families and children here, and we care for other loved ones here.
We are Rogers Park residents, and I hope you will understand that we are your neighbors. What affects you and your loved ones also affects us. We care because we want an end to the violence that hurts and kills – it ends lives that could be wonderful. The violence in our community threatens us and those we love – all of us are at risk. We will always stand against this violence and we plan to do something about it. I hope that you are just as concerned as we are and want it to end.
We need you and your young friends to join us older folks as partners in creating solutions. We’re all neighbors and have an equal stake in the outcome. Hopefully we can find agreement on strategies to create a new vision for what Rogers Park could be and what our lives could be like in it. What we have now, the status quo, is unacceptable.
Are you ready, willing, and able to be a part of the solution? Will you and your friends join in a discussion here about that? Do you have any ideas to share on this?
Very well put, Michael. And to those out there who glorify and defend the anti-social, anti-mainstream life, I say B.S.! Stop making excuses and enabling! Take a look at the attitude, hope and leadership of our soon to be President Barack Obama..."Yes We Can"! Otherwise it's a life's direction down a one-way, dead-end street. Stop wasting your potential and wake up to reality!
Craig, are you targeting just kids who seem troubled or every kid? Because I'll tell you that nothing's going on in my life. I'm not involved in a gang nor am I a "troubled" kid. As for these other kids, I don't know what's going on in their lives and I am certainly not about to speak for anybody.
What block of Bosworth do they bblock boyz hang on? Is the Broadmoor their hang out?
Mr. Harrington, I have been in Rogers Park for thirty years. I knew "freaky" and the gang he chose to join. The life path that he chose was one of intimidation of the weak, abuse to the nieghbors that live here, and no respect to anyone who cared to get involved.
Isiah's PARENTS ARE RESPONSIBLE.
Not you, not me, not the government.
Writing feel good, could have done more, more out reach programs etc. is perpetuating this problem.
When we take his mother or father, and put them in front of a camera and ask them why they let their kid chose a path at 17? Then we will all see where the real problem lies.
B-Block Bam, your written English
proves the point.

Sorry Craig, but you're wrong on the writing & spelling stuff.
If the b-block guys think that we have all day to try to translate their ridiculous spelling & texting crap, you're really wrong.
I don't even need complete & proper punctuation, but a period here & there might help to make it readable.
One of them wrote he had a bigger vocabulary than me, he even spelled vocabulary correctly, maybe the only long word he's ever spelled right. He can't even spell school right. I'm sure he thinks he a great comedian spelling it 'skool'.
And there can't be any communication between people unless everyone is speaking the same language & these b-block jerks sure as hell ain't speaking English!
They might note that Obama, his wife & their kids speak proper American English.
As did Richard Pryor, Bernie Mac & a whole host of others that made it out of poverty.
Or do they think they all sold out to whitey?
Get over it Puppeteer.
You're telling me it's that difficult to understand what they're saying? Can you honestly say it took more than a couple minutes to read disciple's message? Please. This isn't a God Damn English classroom, either contribute a real point or get over yourself.
WHINERS! The B-Block *holes are whiners!
Their MAMAS aren't getting enough $$ from the government for "popping out" these creeps?
Check out some countries in Africa, you cheap thugs! See what it is REALLY like to be black, or brown, or latte-colored. Perhaps you might even LEARN TO CARE ABOUT YOUR BROTHERS!
"One World is Enough"--STING
Brilliant point GrammarGal...Now to all the Mr Harringtons and other "cant we all just get along" dupes who think bringing up OBAMA and having a happy little "dialogue" with the degenerates is gonna make a fucking difference. NO WE CANT. Some urban problems are NEVER going to be solved. The best we can do is get rid of Joe Moore and his posse of poverty pimps.
RealD, sorry they want to start their own sect, and not take orders from you older guy's, or pay your dope tax.
Its nation wide, the younger bangers are going solo.
Whats funny on this site is we now have older members like Real D (real Disciple) angry that Isiah and his cut throat Gangstas aren't listening to them. There fore the older Bangers can't minipulate them the way they want.
Whats disgusting real D is that you condone gang banging only under your terms, as if it was a norm, and post it to the public like we accept it.
You and the rest of the Disciple nation, who like Isiah, grew up fatherless, and turned into pieces of shit.
Twenty years ago, and moving back through time, kids without good parents grew up to be good working and respectable folks.
Some how in this "modern" day you have all used every excuse not be a simple good person, and get up in the morning, go to work, come home and help your children do better for them selves.
Instead your lazy ass sleeps till noon, you wake up, smoke a blunt, and head over to Morse Avenue,and deal dope. The best part is watching you guys hang out all day up and down the street.
You embarass yourselves, and dont even care.
And your upset that these guy's gang bang without your approval?
Your what is called a lazy Mule.
PLEASE leave this nieghborhood.
Man On The Street...
Don't you dare apologize. These folks know exactly how to manipulate, thats what they do to each other all day long.
In the 70's it was called a "Hustle". Today its an accepted norm. Just look at Real Disciples post. How dare these young kids break off from the older gang and not listen to them. How's he gonna get some kid to deal dope for him now?
How's he going to minipulate if they won't listen.
Unfucking believable.
Damn realitydose!! Thanks for the another great post. Ok So where do we go from here? IMO moving forward we need strong political action getting rid of all the scum-bag bureaucratic poverty-enablers pulling their salaries off the taxes we pay and creating the roach motels that pockets of Rogers Park are becoming. We are entering a VERY NASTY recession and things could get much worse for our little hood. I hear so much griping about Alderman Moore. What's the plan for when he's gone?? What happens when we get someone better?
JDP: You're a fool that's fallen into the trap the bangers have set up!
In case you missed them, the b-block jerks left a hell of a lot of unreadable, all caps posts on other threads. I don't have the time to attempt to translate that crap from a barely literate gang member into passable & understandable English.
Even the Indians you get stuck with on a tech support call speak better than your fellow fools.
Even Colonel McCosmick's bizarre spelling reforms made more sense than their crap!
And if it takes grammar & spelling lessons to get somewhere with them, then I'm all for it.
MIND YALL FUCKIN BUSINESS
Living and working in Rogers Park IS out business, dumbass. Knowing that murders are going on in our community, on our block, on the corner from our house iS our business. Being aware of crime in our community IS our business. Get a freaking clue. Hopefully someday you'll realize that this world, this community isn't just you and your friends.
Writing feel good, could have done more, more out reach programs etc. is perpetuating this problem.
I sort of agree, but only to the extent that we have plenty of outreach program yet there are people here saying "we aren't doing enough for the youth of today to get them out of this life". Bull. As I've stated before there are plenty of programs already up and running and if these kids parents don't take advange of them then, yes, they are perpetuating the problem.
Real D,
I'm going to go the other way and say that I found your post very informative and insightful. Admittedly the logic is a bit warped, but I think things were better when there was a main guy at the top and the "foot soldiers" knew not to act until the "leader" said to act. There were way fewer random killings, way fewer "wars", etc. You've got too many "freelance" gangbangers out there who are doing their own thing and that is leading to the growth of the innocent bystander getting involved. After all, the gangs didn't want the kind of major media and police attention that these random killings are bringing.
That being said, I wonder why you can't turn your obvious analytical skill toward something good. I don't know how old you are, but you gotta know that you can't gangbang forever. There are few few gangbangers in their 40s and few if any in their 50s, 60s, 70s... There absolutely is no future in gangbanging for the guy standing on the corner. If you think you're eventually going to be the top guy, you're mistaken because the guy currently at the top, even if you consider him a friend, is not going to let you get close to taking away his power and money. Which mean he won't hesitate to blow your brains out if he thinks you're a threat to him. Either than or you leave the life and get some menial job in a factory (which, if you had started doing that a long time ago, you could be managing by now instead of slinging a few bags of week for a couple hundred a week).
You sound pretty smart so why not wise up and leave that shit NOW! Don't wait until you're in your 40s and realize that you can't do that shit forever and THEN realize that you have to find a "career".
That is, if you make it to 40.
Leave that life and take a few of these shorties with you. You obviously have more insight into that life than they do and I'm sure you know where it leads. Be a part of this community beyond the gang. You'll breath a lot easier not looking over your back for the police or some other gang member who wants to blow you away just because you wiggled your fingers in the wrong way.
If there is any excuse for becoming a criminal lowlife that I absolutely do NOT buy, it is that you grew up fatherless.
Gimme a break.
I lost my father to divorce at age 10. He left my mother destitute and with a 10-ft stack of bills to pay pursuant to all the cars he wrecked while driving drunk , along with a number of car-wreck victims who were suing us. No support, no nothing. My mother struggled to support us on the kind of income a white collar working woman was able to make in the pre-feminist, blatantly discrimanatory early 60s. My sister and I did not become criminals or unwed mothers as a result. By and large, we had stable lives with ample food and love and adequate housing, though there were a couple of really tough years during which we did without a number of amenities that many "po" folks feel are God-given entitlements. At one point we had no car and no phone, and things like air conditioning and entertainment were totally off the table.
And neither have hundreds of thousands of other children of divorce,who are growing up in circumstances far worse, and who almost never see their fathers and who are often not supported by them. Moreover, these dads are not the best examples in the world. Yet most of these kids grow up to be productive citizens.
Losing or not having one parent or the other is only one of many injuries that life may inflict upon a person. It happens, that's all. Now, that does not mean I condone out of wedlock motherhood, for I don't.
The core problem with these delinquent kids is the same problem that afflicts this society from top to bottom, which is that we are a nation of whiny crybabies who don't think we ought to take responsibility for ourselves and our decisions.
TAKE RESPONSIBILITY. Guess what? Even if indeed someone else IS responsible for your actions, you will still be the one called to account for them. And don't sit there and talk about how someone else "made" you commit a criminal act. The only excuse allowable is that you had a gun put to your head. If that was not the case, look in the mirror.
