* Yellow Girls Bike Stolen on Morse Avenue


6:26 PM: Two males/black, ages 10 to 14 years old, one was wearing a white hoodie, just robbed a female of her bright yellow girls bike at 1438 West Morse Avenue. The bike has "Malibu 10" written on it. The bike thieves fled in a unknown direction.

Unrelated - 5:30 to 6:00 PM: 4 male Hispanics, 1 female Hispanic, (with two small children in tow) selling drugs in front of the Common Cup Coffee Shop at Morse and Greenview. 911 called for a drug and or gang dispersal. The gang leader is easily pushing the 300 lb barrier in weight. You can't miss him. The gang then went to Morse and Wayne, in the Magic Video parking lot when the police slowly drove by. There they continued to conduct the open air drug market business they were doing at Morse and Greenview minutes before.


For the record - I've given this particular gangs description to the worthless CAPS 2431 program years ago. At more than one meeting, mind you. Still, this gang continues to work Morse Avenue. Unabated. Hell, these guys even got their own web-page on google maps.

As long as they don't ride the bike on the sidewalk, Ricky H who shows up at every beat meeting in the district will be happy!
We all know & can't stand Ricky!

I just looked up their website and then viewed their You-Tube video . . . My word, how very sad. This is raw evil at work here; the gun worship, the violence, the hypocritical arrogance of hiding their identities behind masks and photo-shopped edits while seeming to be so "proud" of who they are and what they are doing. My heart breaks at the wasted lives depicted here. My heart breaks at the realization of a society that so alienates our youth that it effectively perpetrates – and then perpetuates – such behavior. Craig, never has your blog’s title seemed more appropriate: The Broken Heart of Rogers Park.

- PEACE -

What's a yellow girl?

Uptown residents angry over homicide.

When a murder happens in Rogers Park, residents (and Alderman) hide in the corner and cower.

Well, it's time to make the alderman and his cohorts come out from cover and confront these issues. I love the Common Cup and they shouldn't have to deal with such idiocy.

So who's organizing the marches on the alderman's office and the "positive loitering" and the community get-togethers in the playlots, etc. like they do in Uptown? It's things like that that have brought them together and showed them that they're not alone in their outrage and anger, that despite their differences (economic, social, etc.) they all want the gangs and shooting and vagrants and drugs out.

If you want that kind of unity, then someone (you?) needs to coordinate activities that brings the concerned citizens out in the open so that they can see they're not alone and, more importantly, the THUGS can see that people aren't going to be passive anymore. Just blasting every thing that Joe Moore does here on a blog isn't going to cut it. If you REALLY want the community to come together, organize a march on his office to address the crime. Sure they are so many people with so many different agendas in Rogers Park, but you can't tell me they all don't agree on a need to end the shooting and a need for answers from the alderman outside of a CAPS meeting. I mean, the Uptown people CREATED a separate meeting and got their state senator to come, as well as their next potential alderman. Hell, it was so important that the elusive Helen Shiller (Shillerous Invisibilous) showed up.

Saw those guys on my way home from Morse (live on Farwell).

That large apartment building on that block seems to be a hotbed of sketchiness. I wish a developer would come in and offer to buy the place then knock it down. Too bad the real estate market is down...
