14 Freaking Shootings IN ONE NIGHT / 6 Wounded During Englewood Shootout While Cams Roll - Videos

This is what this city about 20 miles to the south is like since people like Jesse Jackson and Jr along Barack Obama, LuisGuitterez and first and foremost gun banning King Daley have been running it into the ground as people within the city limits south and west of the Kennedy expressway are living in a jungle, and nothing more.

14 Shootings in one night, and people think I'm nuts because I have an small LEGAL arsenal of weaponry in my home out here!!!

They're the one's who are nuts.

Not me.

I won't become one of these statistics, not in this lifetime and dead thanks to a city government full of liberals who disarm the public so thugs are the only ones armed. And this is what they do in their neighborhoods for kicks

To think Americans were stupid enough to hire anyone in government from this city to run the nation and deserve everything this Daley Gangster Disciple known as Obama brings their way. 

Problem is, the other half of Americans shouldn't have to suffer for their stupidity any longer.

Chicago News: "Chicago - A pair of related shootings in Englewood, captured on camera, were part of a violent night in Chicago, in which at least 15 people were shot, two fatally.

A man was shot and killed in the 3800 block of South Michigan Avenue. Another man was fatally shot in the 6400 block of South Paulina.

A third man was shot in the leg in the 7900 block of South Anthony Street, and a fourth man was shot in the buttocks at 7859 S. Cornell after an exchange of words.

Four people were shot outside a sports bar at South Halsted Street and West 122nd Street.

One woman claims she was shot in the arm Millennium Park, and police are checking her story.

Six people -- including five men in their 20s who were seriously to critically hurt -- have been wounded during two related shootings early Friday in the Englewood neighborhood on the South Side.

Initially, police responded to reports of multiple victims shot at 6607 S. Marshfield Ave. at 12:49 a.m., according to an Englewood District police lieutenant.

In this attack four men in their 20s who were shot at the Marshfield address were taken to hospitals in serious to critical condition, said Fire Media Affairs Director Larry Langford who was on the scene.

Of those four, two were taken to John H. Stroger Jr. Hospital of Cook County and two were taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn. Langford said three were shot in the lower extremities and the fourth was shot multiple times all over his body."

Freaking animals humans can become in their worst moments....especially when they have traceless weaponry as they do since the asinine mayor has stripped the citizenry of their only protection since you can see a gosh damn army is needed in this city's worst areas.

Areas where Barack was supposedly organizing the community. 

What  joke huh?   The freaking idiots who voted for that man should be stripped of their voting PRIVILEGES FOREVER.  This is what the "Magic Negro" left in his wake back here in Chicago all you "hope and change"
suckers.

I'm sorry to be so mean, but that's how I feel about every person who works in government in the city of Chicago. They're all "on the take scum". And everyone should know this and especially when the man running for president is best friends with the governor of Illinois who's been impeached and is going to prison as did the last one..

If you voted for Obama and didn't know this you should not have voted. period.

From top to bottom these Illinois politicians are scum, and Obama's included in that list. How could be not be?

Shooting Suspect (Nutty Professor) Linked to '93 Bombings Too.

Ph.D. accused of killing three reportedly suspect in 1993 pipe bomb case"

What's with these liberal college professors and pipe bombs? Is this something that's required for tenure, like a history of hating the government and capitalism, the United States, our military and an extensive pipe bomb building and detonating repertoire?

First we hear about Obama's buddies, one William Ayers, his woman, the bomb Bernadine Dohrn, that UniBomber, Ted Kazinsky,  and now this wacko? How many more Nutty Professors are lurking out there ready to explode?

Police Won't Rule Chi School Board Scott's Death a Suicide ......Yet Coroner Does In Hours

The Chicago way....soon bodies will be floating in the Potomac just like the Chicago river today.....

Suicide was declared this afternoon after the discovery of the body of the Chicago school board president....suicide..(wink wink) found early Monday morn and already the medical examiner has determined it was a suicide? That seems funky to me.

As you can see however  from the video preview, one person who wasted no time jumping on the wagon was  Jesse who as usual was on the scene in minutes like a good moth, as he came to the cameras as soon as the lights were detected and the call came over the police scanner that he must monitor so he doesn't miss any opportunities.

Never fear, as Jesse is here, as soon as all are comforted, you see he be outta here. (a little rhyme homage to "Green Eggs and Ham" Jackson)

One note is this man had many many real estate deals tied to the hope of a 2016 Chicago Olympics so this may end up in that direction if they can't place him with another person all of Sunday which they've not been able to do yet......again it's only been 12 -20 hours..

NBC Chicago: "Although Chicago school board president Michael Scott's death has been ruled a suicide by the Cook County medical examiner's office, Chicago police are characterizing the case as a death investigation, and have not concluded that Scott's death was a suicide.

'We want to conduct a thorough investigation before we make that determination ourselves,' said police superintendent Jody Weis at a press conference this afternoon.

Scott's body was found at the water's edge of the Chicago River with a gunshot wound to the head this morning. Scott’s Cadillac was found nearby. Scott’s family had reported him missing around midnight Sunday.

Police used 'various investigative techniques' to find his body and his car behind the Chicago Apparel Center along the north branch of the river."

Does The Death Penalty Work? Illinois Murderer Brian Dugan To Die For 80's Murder of Jeanine Nacarico

  Tears of joy as Brian Dugan gets death penalty -- chicagotribune.com: "Moments after a clerk announced that jurors Wednesday had condemned Brian Dugan to death for the rape and murder of Jeanine Nicarico, more than a quarter century of weddings interrupted by cemetery visits, of missed graduations, of guilt and anguish, cascaded on the Nicarico family.

Through their tears, they found enough composure to display a gesture of wordless gratitude. They leaned forward and hugged Opal Horton, who escaped Dugan the day he raped and killed her best friend. Then they turned and embraced another Dugan survivor, Sharon Grajek.

Later, speaking with the news media, Patricia Nicarico tried to explain why.

'Having met them and gotten to know them has really been a very special thing for us, and something we will never forget,' she said. 'We have a bond, and it's not the best kind of a bond to have, but it's a very special bond.'continue

Jeanine Nicarico 1983

 This case has been going on since I was in high school 25 years ago in 1983, as a local  little girl named Jeanine Nacarico was brutally murdered taken from her own home ....Here she is above pictured right before she was murdered by lifetime criminal and scum of the earth Brian Dugan who finally confessed in June 2009,  although sadly at the time he wrong people were convicted of the crime,  and later subsequently exonerated by the work of a group of Northwestern students which itself is now under investigation.....  

His name was Rolando Cruz, and the people who framed him are now in prison as well other Illinois officials wrapped in this case both good and bad. (the link covers all that)

A chain of events which later led to a criminal himself, (republican governor who's now doing time, the one and only bum known as George Ryan) placing a  BS moratorium on death penalty cases, all in order to burnish his crumbling image for the most part back when his career was falling apart at the freaking seams from decades of graft and corruption only matched by his replacement, another one and only, Hot Rod Blago jevich who is himself awaiting trial on a whole host of politically related shenanigans and outright fraud....

So now decades later the man responsible, who was known to law enforcement at the time,  a real sack of human shit named Brian Dugan, (already serving life for 2 other murders for  27 yr old Donna Schorr and 7 yr old Melissa Ackerman) admitted to the crimes long after watching the innocent men be prosecuted and sent to death row wrongly. 

And for that sin and  transgression alone he should be executed in this outraged Illinoisan's opinion..

This clump of crud has now murdered at least three people we know of,  cost the state tens  and tens of millions of dollars over the years while jerking law enforcement and the court system around... and it's way past high time to put him to rest forever and ever ..NOW..not twenty years from now but in this decade

I'll even volunteer to pull the trigger if they need anyone for the job, in fact an even better idea might be since the state is running low on money, why not just cut him loose in the inner city with a big  Scarlet Letter tattoo on his forehead that says "Baby Rapist & Killer" and he won't make it alive out of the city...problem solved.

This would do the trick, cut him loose with these tat's  and  he'd be dead or starve to death in a week.

FILE - In this undated file photo provided by the Illinois Department of Corrections shows Brian Dugan. On Wednesday, Nov. 11, 2009, a DuPage County jury in Wheaton, Ill., said that Dugan should be executed for the kidnapping, rape and murder of 10-year-old Jeanine Nicarico in 1983. Dugan pleaded guilty in Nicarico's death in July.


 Here's Dugan Now By The Way...Doesn't look to weathered from 2 decades in prison already
does he? Must be the easy living .....

 Actually he's f*&*&*  smiling, pure evil unadulterated scum...this is what it looks like..

It's time for America to get serious about the death penalty as the more it's applied the more it works.....

I don't know about you but it sure looks like it to me judging by this graph and post from the American Thinker who wouldn't have posted it if it wasn't true I'm pretty certain... Enough of this touchy feely crap for these killers that take decades to put to death when we know their guilty

American Thinker Blog: Graph of the Day for November 11, 2009:

"'I cannot say it more eloquently than Justice Blackmun... I must act... today I am commuting the sentences of all death row inmates... I will sleep well knowing I made the right decision.' George Ryan, former (Republican) governor of Illinois, now serving a prison sentence for corruption.

Cleveland Murders Bring Back Memories Of Gacy and Dahmer ...Sick

 This is a pretty lengthy video from CNN with Nancy Grace (yuk) covering this sick real live Halloween murder scene in Cleveland that watching here in Chicago is EXACTLY how the Gacy sick side show started unraveling ...EXACTLY.......and sadly there's no telling how many people they're going to run across during this sick excavation taking place there, just like it was here in that I remember like yesterday which took place about 4 townships to the east from our home at the time in Prospect Heights IL in 1978.

And JUST like the sick and sad Gacy and Dahmer crime scenes,  family members of the missing all over go to the site to see if their missing loved ones will be the next body brought out in a bodybag and in Gacy's case many in just garbage bags..




How does society grow these animals in such a great country with so much for everyone to live for? Stricter penalties are the only hope for deterrence and those slip away every time democrats come in control it seems.

One of 11 bodies identified in Cleveland sex offender's home - CNN.com: "Cleveland, Ohio (CNN) -- Authorities have identified one of 11 bodies found at a Cleveland, Ohio, home as a 52-year-old woman who had been missing for about a year.

Tonia Carmichael's remains were found at the home of Anthony Sowell, but the news was no surprise to Carmichael's family members.

'This is what I've been saying since Monday, when, you know, we were called to the coroner's office and since this story broke,' said Danita Carmichael, the victim's daughter." more here

He was an nightly visible employee of a cable TV division of the Tribune Co. behemoth called CLTV standing for Chicago Land Tele Vision, yet another piece of that group is this ChicagoBreakingNews.com and this is this story their running this morning along with this picture of he and his parents who were found in a Calumet City Forest Preserve dead from multiple gunshot wounds Monday.

Chicago's Fenger High School: Fear, frustration, and anger come to campus

This is now what children and their parents are now facing at Chicago High schools across the city as helpless and innocent kids are being killed at a rate unseen in these United States and maybe, just maybe the people in this city will finally decide liberal democrats running this place have failed at their mission.

And that first and foremost includes the Messiah and his biggest cronie King Daley, the two men who are mostly responsible for this increase in violence as they spend more money and time trying to woo the Olympic committee than they are making these schools as safe as possible..


Maybe, just maybe at this juncture  they should use the old "Archie Bunker method for stopping hijackings"..... and that would be to hand out handguns at the start of each school-day so each child and teacher are also armed, and then watch the bullies run for the hills..

Here's that old sitcom spot in case you're unfamiliar with the show and the landmark episode where Archie makes the suggestion to stop handgun violence ....





It maybe a stupid idea, but I know one thing......nothing these politico's are doing is worth a damn, that's for sure and the more gun control we have the more the criminals have the upper hand, anyone can see this if the notorious and fictional Archie Bunker can.

If per chance you are unfamiliar with the weekend violence here in the Second City, you can see the beating and killing on video tape in a post I did yesterday,  and another a few days earlier, when two other kids were killed, (both were relatives and one an honor student), then this story all broke nationally, all  from the weekend violence that claimed the lives of three students, in one freaking weekend, during the first damn week of school!!!

My kind of town Chicago is? Not anymore, until Obama, Daley and his government filled with liberal dems are kicked to the curb once and for all. And Obama is talking about lengthening the school days?

Is he nuts??

I wouldn't stay an extra minute than necessary in a Chicago Public school, you could be dead the next minute or killed walking home later than normal. It's been happening ever since I was in high school when the young Dantrell Davis was killed ....walking to a Chicago Public school from the once notorious Cabrini Green High Rises that Daley's dumb assed dad built back in the 60's that this dumb assed Daley ended up finally tearing down..

chicagotribune.com: "The leisurely walk to school -- once a tradition in American education -- took on an air of fear and anxiety Monday as some Fenger High School students returned to campus for the first time since a classmate was beaten to death during a vicious melee near the school last week.

As teenagers trickled into the Far South Side high school, they talked about the dangerous route they must traverse simply for an education. And they worried about what awaited them inside the schoolhouse walls, where tensions have brewed for a month before finally exploding into the city streets on Thursday.

Many students were so afraid, they simply stayed home.  continued...

Police are now Charge 3 In Chicago Teen Student Killing (Beating Videos)

This is more of the story I blogged about Saturday regarding the killing of a Chicago honor student and his cousin. Please look at these video's, (although the first one is quite graphic be warned) then pass the first one around as much as possible so these people and killers can be identified and charged with MURDER,

And this one is more of the same with an accompanying News Story.....

Chicago - Chicago Police are questioning four people in connection with the savage murder of a Fenger high school honor student.

They're also increasing security around the school.

The video obtained by FOX Chicago News shown up above is helping Chicago Police catch a killer.

Derrion Albert, 16, was killed Thursday afternoon while walking home from school.

The honor-roll student was three blocks from Fenger High School when, witnesses said, gang members who were in the middle of fight started beating Albert.

Students said Albert was a smart, quiet kid who didn't hang out with others and was not in a gang.

Chicago Police told FOX Chicago News that the student who hit Albert with a board is now in police custody, and is being questioned.

A number of other students were picked up earlier Sunday afternoon.

Police said they are trying to figure out why the rival gangs are fighting and why Albert was savagely beaten.

Police and Chicago Public Schools are planning to boost security at Fenger Monday.

Three other students were beaten Thursday. One student, a senior at Fenger, had his jaw was broken. And he has already talked to Chicago police about who was out there and why students, some as young as 14 and 15 years old were fighting.

Security cameras in the area picked up some of the images fighting, but no faces were visible. Faces did, however, show on the camera of a man who caught the fighting on video. That man is also being questioned by police Sunday night.

Derrion Albert's mom said witnesses told her he was "trying to help another student and kind of got mixed in with the crowd of the fight and he was hit.”

A senior who witnessed the whole thing said the melee lasted less than five minutes.

Ex-model's breast implants were key to body's ID

Were it not for some dumb a&&ed reality show, this poor woman would be alive today... and furthermore, had the show's producers done some cursory background on this alleged killer and superscum lowlife, they would have seen a conviction for assault and would hopefully sent that POS walking....

But they obviously didn't go far enoug,h and now she's dead and found mutilated so badly by this human slime, they had to identify Jasmine Fiore by her breast implants..women do yourselves a favor and stay off these dumb tv shows at all costs .

My only hope at this juncture of the story is that the murderer is cornered and killed like the rat he is ..or some old fashioned Islamic style torture would be in order and I'm not talking about freakin' waterboarding either.....

Here's the alleged killer's picture on yet one more website...

and his poor undeserved victim once again, Jasmine Fiore ( and some women explain to me why a woman like this would subject herself to participation in some lame show to find a damn millionaire? She could have had that on her own!!!!)

along with a picture of her grieving family....

My Way News "BUENA PARK, Calif. (AP) - The remains of a former model whose killing set off an international manhunt for a reality television star were so badly mutilated that investigators had to use the serial numbers on her breast implants to identify her.

The man charged with Jasmine Fiore's murder, reality TV show contestant Ryan Alexander Jenkins, has been on the run since reporting her missing the evening of Aug. 15. Her nude body had been found that morning, stuffed in a bloodstained suitcase in a trash bin in Buena Park, an Orange County city about 20 miles southeast of Los Angeles, but authorities wouldn't be able to identify her for a few more days.

Detectives tracked the serial number on the implants because they could not use fingerprints or dental records, said Farrah Emami, a spokeswoman for the Orange County district attorney's office." more here

Chicago City Government Closed For Business Monday, Due To Budget Constraints (Flat Broke Anyone?)

This is our wonderful city run exclusively by democrats for decade after decade is shutting down Monday like many other liberal run into the ground states and cities will be doing shortly if
Americans left of center don't awaken to the Obama folly that's taking this country to the crapper quicker than an overdose of Milk Of Magnesia my friends out there ..

Not to mention the city proper and 'not it's surrounding suburbs" is right smack dab in the middle of a record setting murder year which I've written about long loud and often,.....

In addition, one most interesting tidbit in that column happens to be that the home district of one Barack Hussein Obama actually leads the pack in murders, as ugly as that is for those of us out here interested in nothing but facts.

So how's that "Hope and Change" crap working here in Chicago you ask? This is how........so to wrap it up class, Obamanomics blows and Obama has essentially turned out to what we mostly figured long before now....He and everything he stands for is Un American trouble.

cbs2chicago.com:If you planned to check out a library book, visit a city clinic or have your garbage picked up on Monday, you're out of luck.

The City of Chicago will basically be closed for business on Aug. 17, a reduced-service day in which most city employees are off without pay, according to a release from the Office of Budget and Management. City Hall, public libraries, health clinics and most city offices will be closed.

Emergency service providers including police, firefighters and paramedics will be working at full strength, but most services not directly related to public safety, including street sweeping, will not be provided, the release said.

That also includes garbage pickup. Residents who receive regular collection on Mondays should expect trash to be picked up the following day, the release said. Some other customers may experience a one-day delay as collectors catch up.

As part of the 2009 budget, three reduced-service days were planned for 2009, days which are unpaid for all affected employees -- the Friday after Thanksgiving; Christmas Eve; and New Year's Eve. The City Council recently approved moving the reduced-service day planned for New Year's Eve to Monday.

The 2009 budget anticipates saving $8.3 million due to the reduced-service days.

In addition to reduced service days, all non-union employees were asked to take a series of furlough days and unpaid holidays, and most non-sworn union employees agreed to similar unpaid time off.

"Every dollar we save from these measures helps to save jobs, and in the long-term, maintain services for Chicagoans," Mayor Daley said in the release. "This plan relies on most of our civilian employees to be part of the solution to our very serious budget challenges. I want to thank them again for their sacrifice."

Couple With 16 Kids Killed During Home Invasion

This story hasn't developed much during the day and this place has security cameras covering just about every square foot of property so something will surely become available soon we can only hope.

WKRG.com: "Beulah, FL - Deputies are searching for three men they believe shot and killed a well known couple during a home invasion/robbery in Escambia County, Florida.

The Sheriff's Office says the murders took place just before eight Thursday night at a home on Mobile Highway in the Beulah Community. That's right at the Alabama/Florida state line.

Neighbors tell News 5 that Byrd and Melanie Billings were shot in their own home. The couple had 16 children, most of them adopted. Investigators say some of the children were home at the time of the shooting.

Trumbull Ave. when multiple gunmen approached on foot and shot both men. Edwards was dead on the scene, and the 25-year-old was taken to Mount Sinai Hospital with gunshot wounds to the left arm, chin and thigh, police said.
