Family, friends of Uptown murder victim prompt more 911 calls
People grieving over the shooting death of a 20-year-old Uptown man, prompted several citizens to dial 911.
At approximately 6:04 a.m., someone reported a black man in all black clothing standing near the intersection of Lawrence and Winthrop waving a gun.
When a responding officer arrived at the scene, the officer said the suspect was with a group of family and friends who were mourning the death of 20-year-old Edward Clark, who was shot in the head at 4752 North Winthrop Avenue.
The officer at the scene said the suspect, along with the group, was moving southbound on Winthrop Avenue.
At 6:08 a.m., another 911 caller reported people crying near Lawrence and Winthrop.
At 6:14 a.m., a third 911 call indicated four male blacks were loitering near the crime scene and being disruptive.
As of 6:35 a.m., it appeared the situation was temporarily diffused, but we're sure there will be more gunfire before the end of the day.

Keep the black on the south side, and at least give us civilized humans one safe place in the city to live. They eliminated the projects, and low and behold all the roaches have scattered to all parts of the city and brought their crime with them. The blacks need to be quarantined.
ReplyDeleteYour mother must have cheated on your father with a black dude.do you have recurring images of your mother choking down a fat black one?
DeleteHow dare you, sir! Are you aware that Ald. James Cappleman won an award named after Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.?
ReplyDelete@Anonymous 10:12 AM: YOU need to be quarantined.
ReplyDeletethat is very racist. if you stand by your word, then say who you are. society need to rid them selves of people like you. All BLACK people are not NIGGERS
ReplyDelete@ 11:39AM, YOU MAY BE QUARANTINED FIRST WITH THE BLACK GHETTO, AND SEE IF YOUR IDEALISTIC VIEWS WILL SAVE YOU WITH THESE ANIMALS. BOTH YOU AND THE GUY ABOVE YOU NEED TO BE ROBBED AND TERROIZED BY THESE BLACK SCUM AND THEN LETS SEE IF YOU STILL ARE SO OPEN MINDED.
ReplyDeleteI love how these granola white and black people get on this site and lecture people for speaking the truth about blacks. I wish these people would fall victim to these black animals and see if they still practice what they preach. Oh and the guy quoting MLK, I assume MLK wanted equality to mean other races have to live in fear of blacks....I don't think so. Even blacks don't like ghetto blacks. Until people face the facts instead of brushing it over with a civil rights brush nothing will change.
ReplyDeletei dont think you have the right to class all black people as bad. if you look at statistics, most of crime committed is done by whites. the problem is they dont put it out there. why dont you go get a sociology book and read it. or better yet put on a white sheet and hang out with your kind. if you dont like where you live then move. I did and im black
ReplyDeleteWhile they're at it, they need to burn down the Lorelia, the Lawrence House and the Wilson's men's hotel, and hold the nigger-loving social workers responsible for filling Uptown with trash and human vermin.
ReplyDeleteI live on the southside in beverly. Crime is on par with the far northside neighborhood even though we are close to the slums. Those nig**** know better than to mess with the southside Irish.
ReplyDeleteUptown?Rogers Park is gone. Let the wild savages have it and move. The infastructure has been put in place to keep those areas the way they are for eternity. For example the government has bought buildings specifically for section8 and have some landlords have contracts with the CHA to keep their buildings at very low englewwod prices even if the neighborhood does gentrify.
ReplyDeleteThe "granolas" in Uptown and Edgewater will never fall victim as they walk down the street with their Dr. Seuss hat on for they are just as crazy as "they" are. The grandparents need to slap them in the face and get the toddlers out however.
ReplyDeleteReally a shame what lakefront property has become in a "world class city".
Happy Lakefront Liberalism and Shitcago's warped sense of "diversity".
Feliz Navidad, Happy Kwanza, Shalom and all that good sh*t.
@3:07pm, So true about the southside white people ie, irish etc. The whites on the southside don't put up with any crap from any group. Basically, each group respects and knows their own territory. They know that they don't like each other and they don't make any apologies for it.
ReplyDeletecanaryville is a perfect example of an island of whites who will exterminate and cockroach that dare to enter their domain.
ReplyDeleteCanaryville is full of pussy. Nice, wet, warm, squishy pussy..just waiting to be fucked
DeleteI miss Bensonhurst in the 80s. NYers know what's up.
ReplyDeleteand I bet all yall mamas and daddys are the landlord taking the money from the poor and going to the hamptons for the weekends. no I dont support violence, but I hate motherfuckers who had niggas on chains talking shit about the animals they created. you sick bastards
ReplyDeletenot my family - my eldest ancestor came here in 1905. So fuck you and your sob story.
ReplyDelete^^^and before that it was 150,000 years before they cohabitated with the africanus. So double fuck you! This wasn't part of the bargain!
ReplyDeleteI think the accurate comment about Ald. Cappleman being a recipient of a MLK prize was sarcastic.
ReplyDeleteVery tired of hearing uninformed people categorizing all Section 8 people as social misfits, drug addicts, psychos, criminals, and ne'er do wells.
Some are.
Many are elderly, legitimately disabled, and/or low-income good people in need of safe affordable housing.
For the record, there are scum living in more affluent areas, having decent jobs, and driving nice cars.
Amen...I'm white and I HATE a lot of white people. Especially the scum from highland park who build bad condos in the city and then rent it to section 8, Essentially living off the government, paying their mortgage / construction loans, and slum-lording for the rest of their days.
ReplyDeleteTHESE REPLIES SHOULD NOT RAGE WAR AGAINST EVERYONE. WHAT WE SHOULD DO IS FIND A WAY FOR THE ALDERMAN TO TAKE BACK THE NEIGHBOR, BLACK OR WHITE THIS IS NOT ABOUT RACISM. ITS ABOUT SAVING THE HUMAN RACE. PUT THOSE LAZY ASS COPS ON BEATS 24 HOURS A DAY IF NECESSARY. THE COMMUNITY HAS TO WANT THE CHANGE IF IT WILL EVER BE ONE. GOD BLESS EVERYONE. PRAY PRAY PRAY
ReplyDeleteI know a slum-lord from the suburbs who laughs and laughs when he says "Obama is paying my mortgage" He is! He's buying-up six flats all over the city, remodeling them, and ushering-in section 8 tenants for life. In 30 years this guys kids will own 40 six flats in the city, paid in full, free and clear by the taxpayers. From Highland Park.
ReplyDeleteYes more whites commit crimes because there are more white people.
ReplyDeleteBlacks commit a statistically higher, disproportionate share of crimes though they only compose 12% of the U.S. population. So don't let facts interfere with your opinions.
Most of those crimes committed are black-on-black crimes, yet it remains extremely difficult to engage many black communities in substantive crime prevention practices including cooperating with law enforcement authorities.
So while intra-racial crime is bad, inter-racial crime is perceived as more egregious and of a predatory nature.
Many reasons for this but no public leaders, public or private, are constructively engaged in responding to these crime issues. It's not racist to recognize the obvious.
Section 8 is not,in itself,a predictor of crime.
However, uneducated, underemployed/unemployed, angry illiterate, anti-social, prejudiced/biased, racist people with a sense of entitlement are ill-equipped for society and may be "profiled" as being crime-prone.
Nature or nurture for violence? Both! There is a genetic basis for anti-social violence.
I'm a pseudo-sociologist through fifteen years in law enforcement. On-the-job-training.
It's foolishly naive to embrace classroom optimism when it's entirely different on real-world streets.
When you break down the numbers, you'll find that blacks are 900% (9 times) more likely to commit violent crime, Period.
ReplyDeleteBlack men rape white women, and when white men rape, they prefer white women too.
White men rape white women because a black woman would beat a silly cracker's ass. Just because white women who get caught in bed with black men claim rape, doesn't mean it is. Your whores love blacks, and you wish you were black. S.M.H
DeleteAgain, why do they always assume that all of the commenters are white? This is a diverse city, and we are ALL becoming victims of the black thugs. Every race has the same problems with them. Many of these races comment about it on this website.
ReplyDeleteIf you automatically assume anyone making negative comments about black people is white, you need to think about who the real racist is. We are ALL sick of your shit.
^^^yes, Asians have had enough.
ReplyDelete@ Anon 10:39am. Very well put. I am hispanic and I get tired of being terroized by black, but I also get tired of my own people. They can tend to be ghetto too. I am sick of all low life scum bags taking advantage of hard working people trying to survive in Chicago.
ReplyDeleteThe entire chicago housing boom was a ploy to rebuild socialist housing on the citizens' dime....watch what happens. The housing project residents are being moved-into the south loop high rises, west loop lofts, and old town mid-rises as fast as they can do the paperwork, all under the guise of neighborhood improvement / social programs.
ReplyDeleteMix housing does no one any good. The idea is that these scum bags will live with upstanding humans and want to emulate them. This NEVER happens. Scum bags are scum bags and don't want to improve their life. They just want their Sec. 8 voucher, food stamps, and welfare check. We make the unemployed fight for their benefits, but yet these low lifes don't have to do anything for their handouts. Totally screwed up!
ReplyDeleteRacial profiling distorts crime statistics because of course people of a certain race will be seen as more likely to commit a crime if they are already more likely to be viewed as criminals--and therefore more likely to be stopped by police, arrested, and convicted than people of another race. Duh.
ReplyDeleteAnd I just need to say that the guy who implied that white women are somehow more rape-worthy than other women is a huge creep.
