6:00 AM: Calls coming in for "shots fired" at Howard and Damen. Minutes later calls come in for "shots fired" at Touhy and Damen. Officer radios to dispatch that a couple of cars were hit in the 7200 block of North Damen.
Billy Mays,that hyper-affable spokesperson for OxiClean,passed as well. When.Will.This.Carnage.End.
I hope that the city,state and federal government profoundly reconsiders current firearm possession & airplane safety standards statutes for the future Billy Mays of this planet.
shots fired! shots fired! shots fired! shots fired! shots fired! shots fired! people, it is the end of june. from june 15 to july 15, at the very least, kids are shooting off fireworks. yes, they do go bang. yes, the cops will be called. but no, nobody is going to get killed by firecrackers. no, it does not make rogers park a dangerous place to live. it makes it normal in this day and age. get over yourselves. this is why listening to the scanner is not the same thing as knowing what the level of crime in the hood is.
been there, shots fired is serious. It doesn't matter what type of year it is when this happens. And, you're wrong about the firecrackers. Over the years, I've read so many times about people getting parts of their bodies blown off then most died sooner or later. Oh, and been there, YOU get over YOURSELF.
OT (sorry), but if anyone's interested, I can tell everyone about my first day of summer school.
I was riding my bike late afternoon yesterday, rolling onto the street that is right off of the path near Howard Street that leads past the graveyard into Evanston. Cop cars were at both ends of the block.
Near the end of the block, I saw several cops standing in the doorway of one of the buildings. What happened there? Anyone know?
Going by what Been There says, then the bullet that embedded itself in the baby chair of the car that was shot up last week on Wallen and Ashland wasnt actually a bullet but a firecracker.
Guess we could change the tag line to bullet holes found. Shots found is a little vague.
Or child leaking blood while being rushed to hospital from holes about the size a bullet would leave.
Dead person found with bullet holes in ....
Yes I know the difference between fire crackers, wheat crackers and car jacking crackers. Can you tell the difference? So remember that idiot does not hate those cans he hates you. A quote to Steve Martin in the Jerk as the cat with the high powered rifle took aim.
There were 108 gun related crimes in one week in Chicago (June 10-17-2009). anybody want to circulate a petition to legalize concealed carry in RP. If the US Constitution can give me the right and Da Mayor can take away can an alderman give me the right to carry in my own ward?
Just to be clear I do shots of JD and Patron and Jaeger and Jameson and Sky and Kettle One and .....
Been There, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.
excuse me if i was unclear. i was merely trying to point out that calls on the scanner and actual events are often very different. people hear firecrackers and call in shots fired. this time of year i am sure there are many, many false alarms. not trying to say that people with bullet holes in them are imagining things. i know this isn't the gold coast, but lets not make too much of the summer bang bang season.
I heard two shots last night (Sunday)at 12:50 am. They came one shortly after the other, from about Clark / Ravenswood at Farwell. Do we have (another) new police commissioner yet? What are the police, the Alderman and the city doing about this besides NOTHING! And where is the press?
Writing something six times to start a comment isn't "merely trying to point out" anything, been there. Rogers Park has a history of gun play and crime. Why are you so invested in denying it?
i care about the accuracy of what gets posted here. real journalists care about that, also. posting 911 calls as though they are facts is just not responsible. so, it bugs me to see a gazillion shots fired 911 calls at this time of year. many, if not most, are just fireworks. so, facts, you know. i like to see facts. and like i said, real journalists appreciate corrections.
So, you're admitting that there are gunshots mixed amongst the harmless fireworks. I hope somebody decides to let loose a few rounds by your cave so that you can see what you're missing. Real community activists wouldn't make so many dumb-assed comments...

It won't be a minute too soon if they do.

P.S. Craig, I recieved your letter.

been there is a crime. A big, fat, mulleted crime against humanity. She's Joe Moore in drag-very very very bad drag.
Going by what Been There says, then the bullet that embedded itself in the baby chair of the car that was shot up last week on Wallen and Ashland wasnt actually a bullet but a firecracker.
Small mercies.
The 9 year-old with the bullet in the leg?
Just a firecracker.

The man shot on Morse last month? Also a firecracker.
Lifted from "Billy Madison", but it seems apt.

And where is the press?
Hmmm.
two line entry with 50 links with it.
Hmmmmmm.
A far cry from the old broken heart blog. I know its alot of work craig, but you must just be burned out.
The new 400 was to open this past week but is now slated to open july first.
I wouldve thought you would have a blog entry about that.
Ah, I miss the good old days craig.
when they wasnt two line blog entries. And you used to take real nice pictures.
Just saying....
Ofcourse Im not asking you to devout your life to making me happy.
Just saying I miss the old broken heart.
===Ah, I miss the good old days craig.===
Me too.

Go down to the police station and check the records. I'm sure you'll fine my reports are up to snuff. No shots fired were reported as firecrackers.
Speaking of snuff. You can go back to whatever you're snuffing now.
=== it bugs me to see a gazillion shots fired 911 calls at this time of year.===
It bugs me too.
=== i like to see facts. ===
Go to the police station and ask to review the files.
been there,
So, you're admitting that there are gunshots mixed amongst the harmless fireworks. I hope somebody decides to let loose a few rounds by your cave so that you can see what you're missing. Real community activists wouldn't make so many dumb-assed comments...
