Latest Information on the Morse Avenue Ambush Shooting

Whereas Joe Moore won't address the rash of ambush shootings that's happening in the 49th ward.

Whereas the Commander of the 24th won't return my email response to the shooting on Morse Avenue.

Whereas the mainstream media has conflicting gender coverage of unidentified victim.

Therefore we're stuck with an anonymous comment from Second City Cop Blog.

Well, from this anonymous commenter, the victim who was shot in the forehead, was a male. The Sun-Times was wrong. Take this information with a grain of salt.

From the commander at the 2432 beat meeting, Tuesday night:
Several young men from outside of Rogers Park went to a restaurant & apparently just talked to them. What they said, he didn't say.
The girls, who are from Rogers Park didn't like what was said & got some guys to come. The guys are also from RP.
The first group left the restaurant, paid & were walking away, when one of the girl's friends shot the one man in the head. He is alive according to Sobczyk, but he gave no details.
A witness was being driven back to his home & so one of the shooter's group still hanging around, pointed him out to the cops & they picked up the accomplice. This wasn't the shooter, but they may still have him in custody.

Sorry, I forgot to add that Sobczyk also said the incident wasn't a gang thing.

What restaurant is open at midnight on Morse Avenue?

===Sobczyk also said the incident wasn't a gang thing===Must've been a food thing?

Craig Gernhardt said...

===The girls, who are from Rogers Park didn't like what was said...So, the girls egged on the guys?

Clark St. said...

Sobczyk said they went to eat, maybe they ate at a bar.
Obviously, the guys tried to pick up the girls & for whatever reasons, the girls didn't like that or the guys. He didn't give further details.
In stating it wasn't a gang thing, he meant that it wasn't one gang against another gang. It was one group of idiot guys who were egged on by their girlfriends to shoot the guys that tried to pick them up.
Yeah, so the girls really did cause this shooting.
What a nice bunch of girls!
I'm sure that every one of them has at least one tramp stamp!

I heart the R.P. said...

Good question about what restaurant is open at midnight on Morse Ave. JB Alberto maybe? Not gang related my ass.
Its frightening to know there are so many shootings and guns so close to home. The only upside is that they shoot at each other, and that no innocent bystanders were killed or injured...this time anyway.

Someone Should shoot Craig

Be nice Tom! You sound like a communist :D

Trib Columnist Mary Smich pointed this out in a 2008 column with a gang expert: Most gang warfare is over women.

MadeInRogersPark said...

I am outraged that nomore can make the scene when he knows lots and lots of cameras are around and he can flip his lips but when people are getting shot for any reason he hides under his bed!
Please do not vote for him again - he needs to go
go away

Joe Moore is a coward on crime.

RP Free Speech said...

Craig: Are we forgetting he may not even "have a bed" here in the 49th Ward. Dicke'em Daley, Mayor?

Does anyone know where Joe Moore REALLY lives?

billyjoe said...

"Joe Moore is a coward on crime."

As if anyone else elected as 49th Ward Alderman could do anything about the situations on Howard and Morse Aves.

The best solution was proffered by a poster from last week: Move to Glencoe.

They can definitely do something about Morse and Howard - that's not true. Clean it up, larger police presence, more lights, more 911 calls. Your attitude is what the thugs love.

Leslie sez: "They can definitely do something about Morse and Howard - that's not true. Clean it up, larger police presence, more lights, more 911 calls. Your attitude is what the thugs love."

My suggestion from a week ago is much better: Mow down everything east of Clark St between Howard and Morse (or even as far south as Pratt or Devon) and start over completely.

Make the problem landlords clean up their buildings and screen their tenants properly. Evict those that violate the law. If your name is not on the lease, you can't live there. If you want to live in a federally subsidized building, you must be forced to follow the rules. Don't like it? Move out.

Yeah Bos, anything you say, okay, we'll get right on it, yada yada yada. . . .

Yeah Bos, anything you say, okay, we'll get right on it, yada yada yada. . . .Why do you bother? Can't you just issue a standard boilerplate response for everything on every blog because the responses are pretty much the same: "Everything is horrible and nothing is going to work." Save yourself some time.

Man on the Street: I gave my solution: Mow down everything east of Clark St. between Howard and Devon and start over completely.That's not a solution, that's a kneejerk reaction. We know that doesn't have a snowball's chance in hell of happening. Now how about something that is feasible?

sambozovich said...

CHRISTOPHER! im a good friend of jamie n im wondering where ur gettin ur info from i miss him n i just wanna know whats going on so please let me know if u know anything

sambozovich, first off if you were the good friend you claim to be you wouldn't be spillin all of the information that you are puttin on the internet. You must not be smart enough to know that you could be putting Jamie and his families safety at risk by airing what you think you know. Apparently you are trying to piece the big puzzle together and that would be better left in the hands of the Detectives. I will not be a party to any information that you think you should know but I will tell you that you would be better of contacting the proper people and leave the information off of the internet. Use your brain

Dontbsonosey said...

sambozovich...first off if you are such a good friend you wouldn't be airing any information on this situation all over the internet. Those that need to know his condition already know and they won't be filling the curious minds on these blogs with any information related to the victim or the case. If you claim to have so much information about the shooting maybe you should go talk to the detectives. I can assure you that you won't find anything out about his condition. You must not realize that by airing your assumptions and what you think you know you are putting the victim and his family at risk. Use your brain before you post comments on these blogs.
