Chicago’s Cops Are In A really Foul Mood
Chicago, IL—An arbitrator settled the three-year running dispute between the city administration and its police officers. Because of inflation and out-of-control city taxation the officers are actually getting pay cuts. Of course the city always has millions for public works projects they don’t need.
I waited to see just how the cops were feeling after the news and there is one word, hatred. They hate the mayor, city council and more than a million unwashed freeloaders that support the administration.
Retaliation is on the way. The cops I talked to vowed that no more revenue producing enforcement efforts will be part of their routine. The response times will be reduced as officer obey traffic laws and wait for adequate back up before dealing with potentially violent calls.
Chicago cops are out-gunned and driving patrol vehicles that need junkyard retirement. Look for more officers taking more sick time and reporting more on duty injuries. Younger cops will be looking for work in other jurisdictions or to change careers and more older cops will look for retirement.
The people of Chicago need to arm themselves and prepare to fight or move to a safe location outside the city. Arrests will be way down as crime goes way up. As the street thugs learn they can control the city this will prove to be a dangerous year.

Why Chicago Is Not Burning Today…
Chicago, IL—Barack Obama and Richard M. Daley gambled with the lives of Chicagoans by inviting an unprecedented one million people to celebrate at an event where only 60,000 could be accomadated.
Thankfully less than a quarter of the invitees actually showed up for the event. It became a much smaller and manageable crowd for the men and women of the Chicago Police Department to handle. It was simple mathematics of a substantially less overwhelmed police department and luck aided by a very speedy vote count with the results that pleased the attendees that ruled the night.
There were however a substantial number of reports of gunshots having been fired; one police car I know about had its windows shot out. The classy Drake Hotel on Michigan Avenue also had some windows shot out.
Still my hat goes off to the greatest law enforcement agency anywhere for their courage and efforts Last night.

Why Violence From Chicago’s African-Americans Is Easily Predicted at The Obama Fest.
Chicago, IL—Chicago’s African-Americans have a difficult time controlling their emotions. A racist statement you say? Then why is the population of prisons in the entire state of Illinois loaded with over 70 percent with Chicago’s African-Americans? You can argue how poverty breeds violent crime but that does not change reality of just who is generating the violence.
I have vivid memories of my hundreds or perhaps thousands of visits to the Cook County jail and Morgue. The numerous bodies being posted on the autopsy tables were overwhelmingly African-Americans. The jail was a sea of dark faces. Both facilities handle the populations of the city and all its suburbs. Violence and crime is a huge part of Chicago’s African-American culture.
Putting an overwhelming crowd of jubilant, frustrated or angry young Chicago African-Americans in one place like they are doing at the Grant Park Obama celebration is both dangerous and reckless. Any and all deaths resulting and property damage from the very predictable violence should rest directly on the shoulders of Mayor Richard M. Daley and Senator Barack Obama. As for those emotional triggers, I know before the night is over we will experience all of them.
Since the crowed will vastly outnumber police, the temptation to engage in violent misbehavior will be answered in a very tragic way. This disaster will detract from what should be a grand celebration of our democracy.
When I saw that Chicago press conference with that group of older African-American clergy members urging people to stay home and celebrate there it was obvious they knew just what to expect. Those men were as serious about their message as a heart attack. Don’t listen to me; instead listen to those members of the African-American clergy because they know!

More On The Planed Grant Park Obama Insurrection
This is one disturbance in the gentle American community of Lincoln, Nebraska that demonstrates the high emotions of the African-American Barack Obama supporters when it comes to tomorrow’s election. This is a small group of troublemakers. Just what will happen if Daley’s wish comes true and he get’s a million Obama supporters roaming downtown?
Please someone, anyone tell me how 5000 Chicago cops will be able to handle only 100,000 angry celebrants? Next tell me how they will handle a million? Please send body bags to the Windy City, they may need lots of them in the next 48 hours.

No Safety Helmets Allowed For Chicago Police At City Planed Insurrection
Chicago, IL—The insanity of City officials and the Barack Obama campaign continues. That’s even after serious concerns were raised by many wise, African-American religious leaders that urged people to celebrate in the safety of their own neighborhoods and homes.
The planed Grant Park Obama celebration/insurrection/violence orgy will put the entire city at risk. City officials and the Obama campaign are gambling with the very lives of everyone in this narcissistic, self- indulgent display. The planning of this event was irresponsible, reckless and dangerous.
Police were told to report for their 12-hour shifts wearing dress uniforms with the trademark checkerboard caps. They were told to bring their helmets but they must be locked up in car trunks kept miles away and inaccessible. Helmets have been proven prevent deaths and injuries. Why is Superintendent Jody Weis putting cops under his command at this additional risk?
The vastly outnumbered Chicago police officers will have no back up from the National Guard. Roving mobs will take full advantage of that fact and its expectable more deadly force will have to be used against emboldened and violent revelers.
We know full well what happens when uncontrollably large crowds of Chicago’s population gather. In 1968 several thousand unwelcomed Communists and hippies came to Chicago. Many were dressed for street combat complete with helmets and gas masks. Despite the presence of the National Guard hundreds of cops and incredibly stupid kids were hurt.
In 1970 the Group, Sly and The Family Stone simply failed to show up at a Grant Park concert. The destruction and injuries to police and civilians was unforgettable to all but Mayor Richard M. Daley.
More recently we know what happens when the Chicago Bulls win a championship. People and cops got hurt, lots of them. None of Chicago’s events will evoke the kind of emotion as an Obama loss or even a cliffhanger election will bring. Never before has any elected official urged a million people to attend any event.
I’d urge everyone to avoid the Grant Park Death Trap and watch the election returns on television in the safety and comfort in your own home.

Obama Insurrection At Grant Park A Certainty
Click on photos to enlarge. Grant Park is at the lower right.
Chicago, IL.—At least some city officials have grave concerns about the plans for a huge celebration for Barack Obama at Chicago’s Grant Park. All the tickets for the event have been given out and Mayor Richard M. Daley gleefully invited "a million people" to come down and celebrate.
The biggest problem is a mathematical one. The 5000 or so police officers will be gravely outnumbered and placed in danger. There is no way to keep out thousands of armed street gang members or protect the thousands of businesses. The cops will be way out manned and outgunned. Police cannot use deadly force against looters because of a 1967 Illinois law.
Some officers I talked with are expecting to become targets of the unprecedented mob that will descend into the area. Once the mob gets control of the outdoor lighting any hope of security will be lost for sure.
There would be no way to protect the Loop. How much priceless art will be lost at the Art Institute? Will the brand New CBS broadcast Center be destroyed? I know a lot of cops that would look the other way as that place is looted and trashed.
The numerous buildings of every government level that house sensitive records will be in jeopardy. Imagine gang members getting into Daley Center court offices and destroying the records associated with pending trials.
The only good idea officials seem to have is to open the bridges along the Chicago River keeping mobs from spreading to the Gold Coast. The Chicago River is a great barrier and that will control mobs moving Northbound.
It’s too late to stop what Barack Obama and his energetic supporter Richard M. Daley has set in motion. The Genie is out of the bottle.

An Obama Grant Park Insurrection Could Be Stopped By Plain Water
Chicago, IL—Mayor Daley seems proud that as many as one million Barack Obama supporter will invade Chicago’s Loop and Grant Park on Election Day. A total disaster is predictable.
Thankfully, the Windy City has more than one gift from Mother Nature, the biggest is Lake Michigan. November 4th may bring cool or even cold temperatures. The combination of those factors could save the city from a lot of carnage.
The best tool law enforcement and building security people can use to suppress a major insurrection during cool or cold weather is water.
I recall watching a small cool weather, anti-war riot in Frankfurt Germany in 1969. The police utilized a water-cannon on the troublemakers. The somewhat cold weather (around 55 degrees) made water an incredible weapon. I watched as the wet goons were shivering in misery and were immobilized. They had little choice but to go somewhere warm, dry off and get new clothes or perhaps suffer from hyperthermia.
The colder the weather the more effective the water will become.
Firefighters may well prevent a lot of violence and bloodshed. Building owners should have their security people prepare for using this kind of defense from the rooftops and other vantage points.
Using water instead of clubs and guns would bring a lot less criticism and subsequent Civil Rights litigation. Water is a lot cheaper than tear gas.
I know Chicago has no water cannons But they can take steps now to borrow or rent some with Obama’s campaign money.
Fireboats and firefighting helicopters could be used to drench troublemakers with the nearby lake’s precious liquid gold.
Here is a demonstration of a water-cannon. This is not your kid’s Supersoaker!

ALERT! Illinois Forbids Deadly Force To Stop Burglary or Home Invasions During Riots.
Chicago, IL--Because of the upcoming Grant Park Obama Election Day Insurrection I remembered a peculiar Illinois law that forbids anyone using deadly force on "looters" during disturbances and riots. This is a really crappy law that was hastily put together after the 1967 riots when the Liberal Illinois politicians were revolted by the number of young looters shot as burglars.
It’s the called Looting law.
(720 ILCS 5/42 1) (from Ch. 38, par. 42 1)
Sec. 42 1. Looting by individuals. A person commits looting when he knowingly without authority of law or the owner enters any home or dwelling, or upon any premises of another, or enters any commercial, mercantile, business or industrial building, plant or establishment, in which normal security of property is not present by virtue of a hurricane, fire or vis major of any kind or by virtue of a riot, mob, or other human agency and obtains or exerts control over property of the owner.
(Source: Laws 1967, p. 2598.)
Of course police and citizens can always use deadly force to stop a deadly assault involving weapons or disparity of force. The same is true to stop typical crimes during riots such as sexual assault, kidnapping, arson, attempted murder, robbery either armed or strong armed.
If you have to use deadly force remember four simple words, "I want a lawyer” Do not try and justify your actions by saying anything. Cops don't really have rights against self-incrimination like ordinary citizens. Don't ever surrender your rights!
This looting law means is the police will stand by and watch the looters do their deeds.

Crimefile Comes to Chicago Radio!
On Sunday evening, 2 Nov 08 @ 5:00 PM (Chicago time)I will be talking about the city planed Barack Obama Election Insurrection on Wind 560 radio. Inviting a million Obama supporters to Grant Park is beyond incredibly dangerous and fool hardy.
This unprecedented event will be unfair to the men and women of the Chicago Police and Fire Departments. It will be unfair to the local businesses and hospitals. It will be unfair to the Cook County Medical Examiner too. Chicago's taxpayers will be suffering over the destruction for years to come.
If you do't live in Chicago you can hear this show over the WIND radio Internet site.

Chicago Fire Déjà vu All Over Again
Chicago, IL—It was 137 years ago this month inside a DeKoven Street barn that Mrs. O’Leary’s cow kicked over the lantern that began the Chicago Fire. Before it was over there were more than 300 dead and most of the city was destroyed. It was a terrible accident.
Now Chicago is planning the riskiest event ever in its history. An election night Barack Obama Rally is planned for Grant Park located adjacent to Chicago’s downtown. Today, Mayor Richard M. Daley happily announced that he’s expecting as much as a million people to attend. The attendees will be Barack Obama’s supporters, young angry Blacks looking for “change’.
The city has asked for as much as two million dollars from the Obama campaign for handling and clean up required for this unprecedented event. That meager sum won’t begin to cover the easily predictable explosive inferno that group would cause. The cleanup will take years, not days.
The city will need a huge supply of body bags on hand and the hospitals will never be able to handle the carnage this orgy will generate.
The sad truth is that the officials know what’s in store for this city and are proceeding anyway. God help the cops that are dumb enough to report to work that day.

Chicago’s Grant Park, The Epicenter For A Planned November 4th Insurrection
Chicago, IL— The Barack Obama campaign is planning a massive rally inside Grant Park. Chicago police will never get motivated in today’s political climate to even attempt to control this group once they get out of hand and they will get out of hand. All of Chicago’s strongest supporters of Obama will be on hand to totally destroy that city landmark if McCain wins and probably destroy it even if Obama wins in their jubilation.
If I owned property anywhere near Grant Park I’d board up the windows and hire people for security and fire control until the crowd estimated to be well beyond tens of thousands vacate the area. Preparations to accommodate that anticipated huge crowd in Grant Park are already underway.
News organizations covering this event need to send their only oldest equipment and give their people helmets and protective vests. I expect to see TV satellite and live trucks burned. There may be a price to pay for members of Chicago’s media that have trashed rank and file cops in recent times. I just can’t imagine cops risking their lives for anyone who they feel hate them.
The low paid and poorly trained private security people hired by the Obama people will be unarmed and themselves part of the problem.
News organizations will not be able to use helicopters because of Secret Service demands for a wide no fly zone. You can count on overflowing hospital emergency rooms everywhere.
The job of the US Secret Service is a simple one. At the first sign of trouble they will evacuate Obama and get out of Dodge.
Anyone who can escape working that night will be really lucky. Those working need to plan a quick getaway to safety.
The results of this planed disaster will gut an already bankrupt city. Whoever dreamed up this really dumb idea will get as much fame as Mrs. O’Leary and her cow.
Chicago police can be counted to toss a little tear gas around while they stand back and watch the revelers do their thing. Police officers smart enough to avoid conflicts and clashing with the crowd in any way will never face criminal charges of violating people’s civil rights. Chicago cops are extremely tired of listening to Chicago’s African-American reverends scream and whine every time they do their jobs. Of course that will change in a hurry if the crowd attacks the officers. If I were on the job today in Chicago I'd be planing ahead with my physician to be on the medical role November 4th.
