2A4Cook Posted January 11, 2015 at 01:25 AM Share Posted January 11, 2015 at 01:25 AM He's trying to turn his life around, he slipped through the cracks. Our justice situation didn't fail us. I guarantee if you did the exact same things you'd be in shackles and your name and face would be all over tv and on posters in people neighborhoods and people would be throwing Molotov cocktails through the windows of your home to drive you out of their neighborhoods.And rightly so.

C0untZer0 Posted January 11, 2015 at 04:49 AM Share Posted January 11, 2015 at 04:49 AM In my CTA crime summary last year I forgot to include Sex Offense / Sexual Abuse. I reported the counts of Sexual Assault but forgot to include the different crime of Sexual Abuse. Anyway here are the numbers for 2013: 18 attempted or committed criminal sexual abuse at CTA locations in 2013. 4 aggravated criminal sexual abuse3 attempted aggravated criminal sexual abuse11 criminal sexual abuse I'm working on the 2014 numbers, just FYI.

Are you going to put those in a PDF for download for any chance? I could certainly see about passing them on to some of my old media contacts as a story lead. Since I'm part of their "tribe" I can possibly slip something in Trojan-horse style so it will seem as if even non-firearm friendly media folk are noticing the epidemic of violence on public transportation. Nothing like being able to point to the other side's work as a source to justify desired policy change! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't promise anything, but one thing I do know about journalists from 20+ years of being one is that they do like it when someone does the research for a story for them!

chicago555 Posted January 16, 2015 at 08:58 AM Share Posted January 16, 2015 at 08:58 AM Police warn of thefts on CTA trains at Wilson stop By Chicago Tribune staff Police are alerting residents of a recent string of thefts on the CTA trains at the Red Line's Wilson stop on the North Side.Three thefts happened between Dec. 28 and Wednesday during late evening and early morning hours, according to an alert from the Chicago Police Department’s Office of News Affairs. In each incident, an offender grabbed a cell phone from a victim’s hand and run out of the train at the Wilson stop, 4620 N. Broadway St. In the Dec. 28 incident, which occurred around 2:15 a.m., the offender was described as a black man, who is between 18 and 25 years old. He was wearing camouflage pants and a gray sweatshirt with the American Eagle logo over a blue-hooded sweatshirt, according to the alert.The other two thefts happened on Jan. 9 around 10:45 p.m. and on Wednesday around 11:25 p.m., the alert said.Police encourage residents and commuters to be aware of their surroundings and be cautious when using and holding electronic items on public transportation.If citizens are confronted by an assailant, they should remain calm and try to remember any unique physical characteristics, such as scars and tattoos, about the offender. http://www.chicagotr....html?track=rss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2A4Cook Posted January 16, 2015 at 11:54 AM Share Posted January 16, 2015 at 11:54 AM If confronted by an assailant, remain calm, remember tatoos. What great advice. What they are obviously telling you is that there will be nobody there to protect you, and you are prohibited by their CPZ signs from defending yourself. So be calm while they rob you, and calmly accept any beating, stabbing or shooting that may be coming your way. We wouldn't want any of our precious criminals to be hurt, you know.

Yeah because if you survive the attack they want to get some information from you that they may use to try to apprehend the criminal, or at least put something on the news to give the appearance that they're trying.
