11:31 a.m. - Several people reported a brawl at a Far South Side elementary school. Two parents were allegedly fighting during the graduation ceremony at Clay Elementary School, 13231 South Burley Avenue.
12 p.m. - Citizens cornered a suspected burglary at 8444 South Wood Street.
According to police dispatch, the alleged offender was attacked by a group of vigilantes carrying bats and sticks.
The Good Samaritans were trying to hold the purported thief for police.
Eventually, the would-be burglary managed to escape the angry crowd.
According to an officer at the scene, the residents were upset, because it took the cops too long to arrive.
When people STOP refusing to cooperate and START blowing the whistle on these ghetto thugs, perhaps they will be caught and charged and the onslaught of violence will begin to ease.
ReplyDeleteParents fighting at an elementary school graduation??? I can only imagine what they are teaching their children. How pathetic!
Good for those residents! This is what has to be done to show these ghetto thugs we're watching! Too bad the police didn't get there soon enough but the chance will come around again. Good job:)
towanda, you speak on things you obviously do not know about. when people were calling the police and reporting crimes, do you know what those gangbangers did (CPD). they told the gang memeber or drug dealer who told on them and after those peole houses would get burned down or shot up. i'm telling you and everyone that thinks like you, you have to come up out of that. this s... is strategic. the police always does this in the black community, this is nothing new, why? because EVERYTHING IS ABOUT RACE
ReplyDeleteYea Uhm anonymous is obviously a fear monger. If you call the police you can request to be anonymous if you don't think you can full trust the police. Also you can leave your name but request that police not contact your house. An anonymous complaint leaves police with little legal standing to do much but leaving your name gives the police a better standing.
