Aldercreature Speaks Truth

  • The Southwest Side alderman who's under police protection after being threatened by gang members is standing by his statement that "no innocent lives were lost" in a Brighton Park mass shooting and says he will continue to speak out against the violence plaguing his ward.

    Ald. Raymond Lopez, 15th, said the Chicago Police Department posted officers at his home, office "and when I'm out in public if it's something that needs to be there" after what officials termed "credible threats" from gang members.

    [...] The alderman made his "no innocent lives were lost" comment Sunday night after two people were killed and eight others wounded when two masked gunmen with rifles opened fire on a group congregating at a makeshift memorial for a man who had been slain in an earlier shooting.
Color us surprised. Not at what he said - we've said it for years - but that he actually said it. If you are at a gang street memorial, you are lending your approval to the life the deceased led - representing, robbing, beating, dope dealing, shooting. And if you get shot there, well....street memorials attract assholes...assholes on both sides of the gunfire.

There was a priest the other day, giving a speech at the scene where the two officers were shot the other day. And he said something along the lines of "This isn't our culture." We can't find the link at the moment, but you know what Padre? It is the culture. Stop pussy-footing around it. The culture of shooting, revenge shooting, revenge of the revenge shooting, dope shooting, taking-bad-about-my-old-lady shooting - you can only ignore it for so long.

And then ten people get shot on a street corner.

I beg to differ. Not everyone who shows up for a street memorial is a thug or gangmember. Not everyone who is shot down on the streets is caught up in the gang madness. Sometimes, gangs kill those who won't kowtow to their bullshit. Now, I'm not saying that the brother and sister who were gunned down were innocents, but I really don't know their backgrounds, and no one has said anything definitively about them one way or the other.

A demorat aldercreature threatened by gangbangers, the very gangbangers who are emboldened, because of demorat pols voting for Chicago to be a sanctuary city, coddling criminals, and for the police to wear cameras in the hopes of ultimately fucking over the police.

Typical SJW who bashes the police, but cries for protection when shit now sticks to him.

Lopez is the new Burke. So now cops with juice will be making phone calls to get assigned to Lopez' protection squad.

I must say, I gained a lot of respect for Lopez for his comment, because he is right. Both males killed that day were documented S.D.'s...and the female was a p.o.s. with a criminal background as well. Sooo, the alderman is correct, NO INNOCENT lives were lost!

And there you have it: the quota insanity.
Actual: 10 people get shot at essentially the
same GPS location
What management wants (in writing, no less):
10 individual shootings, 10 individual calls,
10 individual push-pins on the map, 10 dedicated
crime scenes.
(the written quota system is a gift on a silver platter
to the ACLU/EEOC)

Nice to know that this guy can get away with saying that on camera and not get fired.

We say shit like that on camera and the supe is dabbing pepper on your star, having it for lunch the next day.

It's nice to see someone spreading the good word though, FOP can learn from this.

This Junior alderman has the making of a great politician in Chicago. The man is the first in decades saying the truth about gangs and its violent world.
He should be the mayor, Rahm just kisses Rev' asses and this alderman calls the mutts out. Eddie the no brain is a b.s artist and should just fade away. Worse supt /chief in a century n Chicago.

Stop calling them gangs and really tell it like it is,they are nations.
Allowed to grow and fester into governments of their own.Think this is bullshit?
well gang Nations make laws, make treaties,tax, maintain standing armies, declare war,
order executions,control a geographic territory called a turf,have a national symbol,
and are allowed to go on their murderous way.All of this is because of the illegal drug trade.Be safe thin blue line.

I always wonder what kind of public aid does the shooter and his family get, it should be public record, not just for him but for everybody who gets government money. They keep trying to downplay what happened saying the Cops were undercover. Fine, but when you don't have to work you find plenty of time to shoot people.

This alderman who used to be a skycap at Southwest Airlines like SCC says spoke the truth realism is hard, before a problem can be corrected it must be fully identify who are the people that cause the problem those people need to be incarcerated but we do not have law and order and is corrupt city when you have a mayor has an example who stands up for criminals and violates federal immigration laws does not fully support law-enforcement we have a cook county board president who would rather have a prisoners on the streets we have the judges who are totally controlled by the elected who put them in office we do not have independence and our judicial system is another reason so much bloodshed the gangs are more bolder now, they operate with total impunity. Also it looks like President Trump has totally abandoned this city thanks Mayor thanks elected for all the nonsense you have done the blood is directly on your hands.

The number one job now is to protect blue! The ballerina can talk all the shit he wants about expanding this and that and Chicago building this is that until he gets the crime under control and starts obeying Federal laws the criminals see clearly that says the mayor completely refuses to comply with the law maybe they figure they can do whatever they want Tommy runs his jail like a resort for the criminals he does not support the hard-working sheriffs they protect us from the scum that is in the jail then we have Tony who is mandating not to put too many black and brown felons in prison very sorry state of affairs here no wonder people are fleeing the state this city so quickly! God bless the police!

Was this like the Michael Brown memorial in St. Louis? Were these 10 people shot while showing their respect to a pile of garbage? Well, that's not an American cultural thing. Americans don't show respect to garbage. Garbage is put in a can or a bag so it can be hauled off.

Result is she is picked up by a male teen who threw her to the ground and then into the pool...

They were at a memorial for a dead gangbanger, because it's normal to have gangbanger friends. You are the company you keep.

Too bad the PO's have to be the sitting ducks.
Tell me, is this a 24hr, 2 vehicle - 2 man detail?
Or is the shaky 2nd Wt boss low on beat manpower and won't put a pair of dollies on the mission?

Why not put Rahm's security Detail Experts on that mission, they have 6 yrs. of experience of sitting around.
Isn't this something for Intelligence or Detached Services that could handle ?

Stay Fetal.
It's Rahm's problem not ours.
We used to be able to deal with upticks and rampaging violent thugs.
Don't rely on Special Ed (The Right Man for the Right Time™) for help either, he's having sweet potato pie with KimWinkle.

Culture?

Well, I guess, but to me it more a lack of it actually.
There is no order here, just chaos. There is no society, much less civility, there is no honor and there are no boundaries.

Is total anarchy with nothing out-of-bounds,ever,anywhere something we can call "culture"? Or is it really just a complete lack of it? Remember, rules and boundaries and cultural norms, borders, laws, all that stuff is 'acting white' and 'white privilege' and you know, 'white racism' and stuff.

It is Tribal. But is tribal actually cultural?

For the question above about public aid for shooters, there was an MSM article a few months ago saying the CHA isn't even made aware of residents or landlords charged or convicted of felonies or housing-related crimes, though if they were it is supposed to be used to affect eligibility to be in CHA programs etc.

The democrats really do use the system to subsidize criminals systematically.
