  1. It is me or is crime in Lincoln Park getting worse? I pay a lot of money to live in this area. If the cops can't do better I might have to move.

  2. Virtually across the street from the scene of this week's strong-armed robbery @ Neo.

  3. Yep, it sure is!!! By the way, CBS picked up the Neo story. But they changed the location of the crime scene. I believe they said the couple was mugged on the 500 block of West Fullerton.

    That information contradicts what police and the victims said.

  4. Any chance this is connected? that particular area isn't far from DePaul and many of the professors live west off of Fullerton. Seems scary that 2 nights in a row there have been robberies there. MORE POLICE PLEASE IN ALL AREAS!

Wonder what their parents will say or do to these terrorists? Let me guess...

  7. Towanda, if I had been that kid who said he was just having fun, my mother would have had fun slapping the taste out of my mouth!

    What an utterly ignorant thing to say! You had fun destroying someone else's business and terrorizing innocent shoppers?!

  8. towanda, the police's hands are tied. More police won't necessarily reduce crime? Have you read the Second City Cop blog?

  9. Rudy, no I have not read that blog. It would probably infuriate me more and I might become a vigilante:)
    Do these "children" not get punished or grounded? Would be great to have follow up about what the parents are doing to their children for this. That report, or maybe it was one of the others I viewed, said anther mall closed down because of trouble all the time. See, people/thugs don't get that their behavior has an impact on us all and ruins it for us all. Some customers said they would not shop at that mall anymore for fear of their life. That's how it begins and part of the reason things close.

  10. towanda, I'll try to guess the closed mall:
    Brickyard or Northridge ?

  11. Rudy, no, it was a mall in Milwaukee but those malls you mentioned were in the same boat as the one in Milwaukee. Shoplifting galore and trouble. Malls will go the way of the dinosaur's as well.

  12. towanda, I see it's Mayfair Mall, which might disappear a la Northridge.
