Title: Even with all of the shootings in Chicago this one stands out
Post by: BobR on July 12, 2021, 04:50:26 PM
60+ plugs into one guy walking out of the POlice Dept.

Quote
A police report says the 31-year-old local rapper, whose real name was Londre Sylvester, had just been released on electronic monitoring when he was fatally shot across the street from the Cook County Jail around 8:50 p.m. Saturday in what authorities believe to be a targeted attack, Fox 32 reported.

60+ holes, a couple of bystanders hit by strays or maybe pass throughs, we will never know. The official vedict is out whether this was targeted.  ;/

Another poor soul on the verge of turning his life around snuffed out in what may be a record time following release from jail.

Wonder if it was done by the next of kin of someone he victimized?

In any case, the story says more than one car sped away from the scene . . . if any Chicago cops saw this happen, remember they could NOT pursue the suspects until/unless they received permission from police management first. Rules are rules.

This proves that criminals respect the law.  If they didn't, they would have shot him before he walked through the door of the jail instead of just after. [sarcasm off]

Sylvester was left suffering from as many as 64 bullet wounds to his head and other areas of the body, the Chicago Tribune reported. He was transported to Mount Sinai Hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 9:25 p.m., according to the Cook County medical examiner's office.

What was left to transport to the hospital?

Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot - who last week claimed that 99 percent of criticism of her is based on her gender or race - has blamed joblessness, poverty and out-of-state gun smuggling for the ongoing violence spiral gripping the city she runs.

Can any one name any other device that will control a persons behavior like a gun? I mean, it can't be the fault of the person holding it, can it? OK, yes. There was a time in the not-to-distant past where it was the fault of SUV's killing people and fouling the air ...

"Investigators found at least 59 shell casings on the 2700 block of West 27th Street, which is across the street from the jail."

Fifty-nine out of 64... Yeah, that's about my shell recovery rate, too.  About 45 out of fifty.  Good job, CPD!

Hope the shooters didn't damage the ankle monitor. 'Twould be a damned shame.

Dunno, we had the street video of a stop light attack with a full auto sub gun in Chicago, the other week.  With a drum mag, IIRC.  Or rip through 2 Glock 33 round happy sticks, with your stolen G19 and a full auto backplate from Wish.

The first of the key parts of her plan is to "Empower and heal those actively engaged in violence, whether victims or perpetrators."   I think this is a fancy way of saying they've made guns even more illegal and funneled more money to areas where violence is increasing, but they still can't figure out why the problem is still there.  That's the equivalent of a carpenter saying "I've cut this board off three times and it's still too short, wonder what went wrong?"

CULLING THE HERD

This one confirms my oft-stated position that we should issue guns and ammo to everybody who wanted them and let the gangs fight it out against each other and against armed citizens.

We'd have a spike in shootings for about two months, then it would start to drop to near-zero because of selective culling.

Might get a few innocents and hotheads killed, but I don't think it would be any more than at the present rate.

Believe the Darwin...  :rofl:

Yeah, as someone said, every bullet has a lawyer attached to it.  Kind of a dumb way of putting it but has a kernel of truth.  The other problem in this respect is the unfettered rapacity of some DAs who will say or do anything to make another "successful" case for their re-election or re-appointment.

There are a lot of things that will send your eyebrows rising during Chicago’s daily felony bond court hearings. But among the more perplexing are the people accused of illegally carrying firearms while, according to their defense attorneys, they are active members of anti-violence groups.

The past few days have been extra perplexing. At least three men who are supposedly working to end gun violence in Chicago were charged with illegally carrying guns this week while they were already on bond for other felony gun cases. One of the men’s pending cases includes allegations that he shot at two people.

Remember, these guys receive paychecks to “mediate” conflicts in order to avoid violence and bloodshed. While, it seems, settling their own scores by using violence.

Just two days after the arrests were reported, the prosecutor dropped all charges, claiming that there was insufficient evidence to charge anyone. A police report noted, however, that Foxx’s office also said the charges wouldn’t be pursued because the two sides were engaged in “mutual combat”; a fight in which both parties willingly take part.

How bad is the crime in Chicago? Well, a couple of weeks ago, a carjacking happened right outside Governor J.B. Pritzker’s mansion in a very exclusive residential neighborhood. And news has just come to light of an attempted carjacking of a police SUV parked outside Cook County Board Chairman Toni Preckwinkle’s home (which just happens to be near Barack Obama’s seldom-used residence).
