Nice work CPD! We need more of you men and women paroling the streets asap.
ReplyDeleteThanks for getting this news out so quickly tonight CNR. I live across the street and heard shouting, then a call for help. By the time I got outside, the victim had already been moved inside the building.
ReplyDeleteIf anyone has further details, please provide.
^^^ You're welcome.
ReplyDeleteIt's peculiar how they gravitate to that strip however.
ReplyDeleteSome of the dirtbags in Lakeview/Lincoln park hang out at the community drop-in center run by one of Chicago's most prominent social service agencies.
ReplyDeleteIf you ever see a black guy who wears at cheap winter hat al-la Fat Albert 12 months a year tell him his disability check and LINK ought to be enough for his lazy arse.
Yes, I would like further details too. The crime in this area has been growing. What happened to the new curfew??? Why aren't police enforcing this?! Was the victim a male?female?
ReplyDeleteI honestly suggest all of us bad-a$$es in town come together as a posse and walk around disrupting the endless ghetto bullshite afflicting our affluent neighborhoods. Let's intimidate THEM.
ReplyDeleteI also urge anybody with a camera phone or better to film any nonsense that you see and put it on Youtube, chronicle the $hit out of this, the world needs to see the truth.
This was my friend that was attacked on Monday night, and I want to thank the police for their quick response, and the wonderful neighbors that helped him. The police are unsure that they caught the right man that committed the assault, so if anyone saw anything or has any information, please come forward. Thank you all so much.
