Arrest Made

  • Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy said witnesses have identified [Tevin] Lee as the gunman who fired four or five shots toward that building last Friday night “without care or regard for the safety of anyone else.”

    Lee, described by McCarthy as a known gang member, was trying to retaliate against rival gangbangers after an associate of his had been beaten up in a fist fight a few hours earlier, McCarthy said.

    “Unfortunately, his intended targets were standing beside the home in which Shamiya and her friends were innocently playing,” the superintendent told reporters at a packed news conference at police headquarters.
Well done to all the involved parties - coppers, detectives, support units. A hell of a heater case handled efficiently and professionally. You don't nearly hear that enough.

But, once again, McOneTrickPony blamed the gun. He fails to acknowledge the problem isn't the gun; it's the person who chooses to settle an argument with a gun, the person who makes the choice to pull the trigger.

Did Tevin Lee have a conceal carry permit ? Didn't think so.

Good work CPD. It would appear the suspect is a callous sort.

This can't be right! It was evident from a few people on here who knew everything about the incident before the people actually working the case even had something, that it was going to come back that it was the fault of the little girls mother. Gangbanger shooting at another gangbanger(s)? Where? In THAT neighborhood? Oh, stop it! Innocent caught in cross fire? In Chicago? The spray and pray capital? No way!

And this sissy of a "man" (not TEEN, yeah he's 18, but he is an adult) mother claims he worked at a church. Yeah, sure.

Tiny Dancer was supposed to be serving hot dogs today at Phil's Last Stand and Chicago and Oakley...as a volunteer at a fundraiser to help pay for the girl's funeral. Nice gesture, but has anyone seen him at a fundraiser for a cop or firefighter's family?

My only complaint is, did the Supt. have to go on tv to talk about that case himself? Why not the 1st Deputy, the Chief of Detectives, and/or the Commander of the district where this incident occurred? Isn't McCarthy still healing from his recent heart attack? Does McCarthy not trust his command staff to get in front of the media and handle some of these press conferences?

If Chicago had more public gun ranges, these people that want to shoo their pistols could go to a safe range and practice and enjoy. Instead, due to a lack of ranges, they have to use the public streets as firing ranges.

I hope they had more than just witnesses. I hope they had some physical evidence, cameras, or a confession.

Or in 5 to ten years, the Innocence Project, Loevy, or whoever will be suing to get him out, get him a new trial, etc., because you know the witnesses will change their story . . .

We lost a P.O. this week to a crash while on his way to work. My deepest condolences to his family and friends. I wonder how many times the mayor and the governor and the other politicians stopped by his family's house to console them and thank them for the officer's selfless service?

Check me if I'm wrong, Sandy, but isn't it illegal to have a handgun if you are under 21? Does the shooter have an FOID card? Pass a background check? Have a concealed carry license? Yep, obviously we need more gun laws.

Never seen Mrs. Bush, Mrs. Clinton, Mrs. Bush, Mrs. Reagen & etc March with reverends to end violence nor have I ever witnessed anyone calling on them to do it. And the country was ten times more violent during their First Lady "terms".

millions of people are poor , own guns and do not kill others .
it's the no parental supervision , no discipline at home or school .
it is not poverty , or our school system it is the community activists and politicians making excuses for people .

And you have proof that the previous presidents did not travel the same way and go to high profile social events? You sound as bad as the media gobbling citizens. That money is getting spent no matter who is in office. Be pissed at that but don't nickel and dime who spends it, how and when. Who was guarding the Bush twins when they went out partying? It wasn't private security.

THANK YOU OBAMA.

(video) Police in Maryland have arrested six illegal immigrants, several of which are admitted MS-13 gang members, in connection with the death of a homeless man killed outside of a liquor store earlier this week

When is Garry going to call for background checks and stricter controls on these unaccompanied illegal immigrant children?

When?

Get the UIIC off the streets Garry.

Long time police tip says: Never, never, never let a stranger into your house.

Why is Rahm letting them in our communities? WHY?

Why would we let people into our communities that we know nothing about especially when they come from places where the culture is killing, gangs, and violence.

Where were these kids parents Rahm would ask.

If a US citizen turned their kids loose like this the parents would be in detention for child abandonment or endangerment.

So Rahm don't ask us where the children's parents are.

We ask you why the unaccompanied illegal immigrants children's parents are not in custody!

This is one eff-d up law enforcement community picking and choosing who to enforce the laws on I'll tell you what.

We hand out drivers licenses to illegal immigrants and then call people racist when they ask for voter ID laws.

Every time the Politburo call for more gun laws maybe US citizens should call for tighter voter ID laws.

So many of these crimes are done by a "known gang member." Perhaps we should outlaw gangs, make it an act of domestic terrorism or slap a RICO on it. Get these fucks off the street and we'll see peace.

Child - INNOCENT child murders in ghetto communities usually always result in an arrest. I'm sure they don't like the violence that plagues their communities, but probably don't care enough, are scared, or what ever the case may be to turn in shooters of gang members.. In a timely manner (you sometimes hear of people cooperating years down the line). Innocent murders, especially of children, are a whole different monster. I know in the 80s and 90s it was safer for a child murderer to turn himself in than to deal with the gang.

Let's get real; it's a publicity grab. The man is running for office and he knows his 'warm and fuzzy' poll numbers are near zero. The outrageous crocodile tears, the empathy, the fundraiser, they're all about getting the 'likeability' numbers up. And they'll be great photos for campaign posters and flyers.

Forgot about that. You're right; it's the gun or ammo manufacturer's fault. It might even be some stockholder's fault, for purchasing gun or ammo stock. No, no, wait! It's the NYSE's fault, for selling the stock!
Anything but putting the blame where it belongs, on the lack of responsible parenting and personal responsibility.

Just think over 2 million dollars gone what a ploy she came in with her kids for a fund raiser but maybe would stop by Beyoncé concert! If she did it without the fund raising nonsense they would of have to pay but of course as usual the taxpayers get soaked again!
