One of my friends at Chicago PD sent me the Chicago Police Detailed Situation Report from August 8th, the deadliest day in Chicago in 13 years per the Chicago Tribune.
Here’s a summary:
So far this year, as of August 8th, there have been 661 more shooting incidents than last year – an increase of roughly 50% over last year to date.
The number of seized guns is down 274. Tough luck there, administrators, as you turned away about 50-some guns from Guns Save Life members because we were white at your last gun buyback.
Murders are up nearly 50% as well, but according to Chicago Police, only 404 murders have occurred to date. HeyJackass.com has a little higher numbers.
On August 8th, there were 9 murders, one innocent shot as part of a robbery and 9 aggravated battery with a firearm incidents (that’s what they call it when you get shot).
The Detailed Situation Report details the victims of violence and also gives suspect information. It might as well as be a list of victims because it’s rare that suspects are identified in Chicago.
Just for your amusement, according to HeyJackass.com, the Chicago police’s current year-to-day homicide clearance rate is 20.9%.
Got someone you want killed? Remember those vows… till death do us part? Why not invite them to see the Windy City, right?
The fifth grader that a Chicago Police Officer saved by administering first aid was the sole victim of Chicago firearm-related criminal violence on August 8th that didn’t have an arrest record.
The only one.
On the flip side, three Gangster Disciple turds perforated in one location had 115 arrests between them. Cook County prosecutors secured convictions on exactly 22 of those. Ironically, the one killed the deadest in that incident had the fewest arrests. Sometimes Karma and Darwin don’t talk things over before the fun starts.
It all happened at 9441 LaSalle Street. Here’s part of the description:
The victims were standing on the street when a blue minivan drove by and began shooting.
Damn those shooting minivans. Can someone help me get my tactical minivan similarly equipped? I think I’d like 9mm caliber, but I won’t turn down .45 ACP. 7.62×51 might be a little too noisy and over-penetrative.
Twelve spent casings were recovered. (The dead guy – name withheld by us just to be on the safe side) is listed in the SSL with a score of 165 and has 17 arrests for cannabis, possession of a controlled substance, murder Apr 2005 sentenced 18 months for cannabis, unlawful use of weapons by a felon Oct 2000 sentenced to 2 years, Possession of a firearm June 1998 sentenced to 2 years, Possession firearm Sep 1994 sentenced to 2 years, Possession of firearm Aug 1991 no court disposition.
Good riddance. He should have gotten heaved into the wood chipper years ago and the world would have been a better place for it.
Not so sure they are dead. We will see them again in November at the ballot boxes.
Absentee ballots. Filled out very early, in case there is no mail service at the Hotel Dart.
Off topic GSL. But did you know that the Inspector general, the person who investigates corruption or wrong doing of city employees, was barred from investigating the aldermen and the mayor. The politicians decided they didn’t need to be investigated for corruption. The Chicago Way. Also, there has been some back door dealing to keep the 3 female test cheating Lieutenants from getting punished or fired. It’s is good to be the superintendent’s girlfriend. The price though is firing all the white people who were involved in the investigation of the McDonald shooting. That is why so many of the bosses in CPD are quitting as fast as they can.
