More Safe Passages

  • A group of parents and community members gathered in the quiet auditorium of Penn Elementary School on the West Side Friday to hear how Chicago Public Schools officials are going to work to keep their kids safe this upcoming school year.

    After all, a man was shot in May across the street from the North Lawndale school.
During school hours? In front of school children? No? Because we recall the schools and department bragging about how no one was shot, maimed or killed on a safe passage route all of last year. Just a student raped and strangled within sight of a Safe Passage route, but again, the city doesn't count anything that's "near" a parade route, why count a crime?

So as predicted, this idea is expanding this school year. Rahm can't afford to have a single child catch a bullet before the election. And if it costs a million additional taxpayer dollars, who are we to argue against it?

Nobody is saved, they will just get shot at a later date.

Just why, exactly, can't schoolchildren manage to get to class without DOZENS of city workers having to abandon their REAL jobs to stand around on the sidewalks?

Isn't that the job of the cops, to protect the citizens and the children? If not the cops, than who?

Desperate times call for desperate measures.

And 9.5 is feeling the heat. His security detail has loads of terrific stories on how he's slowly losing it. All his swims and jogs haven't helped alleviate the stresses that come with being a pint-sized dictator.

Here's to your every night being restless and sleepless so that it takes years off your life, Rahm.

Mazel tov! Asshole.

The whole problem with this concept is Parents abdicating their responsibility to keep their own kids safe to/from school to the CPS.

Obviously once the kids are within the school building, the CPS has some limited in loco parentis responsibilities, but to/from school?

Fuck that. Get your own spawn to and from the building. You created it, you deal with it.

Why should anyone who didn't, have to pay for protection for spawn of those who did?

How about CPS growing a set and saying: "Hey, you and we all know the City has criminals in it. If you want your kids to be safe, you're going to have to start turning them into the Police so they can be arrested, tried, and put in prison so they can't harm anyone - including your kids. Until then, nothing's going to keep them safe, and not especially those aluminum signs printed up by Rahm's kickback cronies. Have a nice evening. Good night..."

How about the people that spawn these children take responsibility for them?? No, that would make sense and save millions in tax payer dollars and bring down the Democratic Party. "It takes a village". Yup of tax payers with jobs and normal families to support the welfare class that burns down their own villages.

No it's not my job, my job is to enforce the laws enacted by this state. It's the parents job, you know like what the wife and I do when we take our kids to school. You seem to be another government leach hoping that someone else will do the job that you as a parent should be doing. You make me sick!

How about the parents? Did your parents make sure you got to school?
If your not a Daley or Emanual you should not be taken to school by the police! (Sarcasm).

Heard same thing his security detail if they were not scared of being jammed up most would leave and abandon the sergeants pay just for their sanity! He should hire private security like they have on the Cta come on rahm they could drive your kids to school also correct! Rahm talks about saving money but wastes huge amounts on this detail, extra vehicles etc..

This is another ploy, to offer part-time employment to people stupid enough to remain in the City. And when the job stats come out, they will say that all of these mopes are "New Hires", when in fact they are still not working a full 40 hrs. Throw the Peasants some more bread, Rahm, you Elitist Chunk of Shit.

What would now revealed meritorious 1070 (sometimes a different call sign) do at the Penn? As a white shirt I must supervise and take command of the blue shirts... blah,blah, blah. Sgt R.F. take the hint, you are condescending to those who wear a different color uniform shirt than you. Treat officers like adults not children whom you must constantly chastise with your perceived “supervisory white shirt” rah rah bloviating.

No one who works at the academy wrote the original post. It was written by one hard on who is trying to get a rise out of all of you. Don't take the bait. Clearly, someone is trying to stir shit up by that ridiculous comment.

Or your trying your best to back peddle on the intellectual work bit.

The only intellectual work taking place at the academy is the janitor trying to figure out the best cleaner for the shitter.

Here is an idea. Have the instructors at the accademy handle the Safe Passage routes. Make them do some work.

Since when does Safe Passage equal protection? If the parents alone lined the streets before school and took appropriate action anytime an incident occurred..that's the safest passage you could have. Imagine every guy that came into a neighborhood being snatched up by the community members and getting the brakes beat off them and dragged through those streets. Two things you can expect: a. the police won't be in a hurry to charge anyone for it and b. they would rather see the police and take the arrest then fall into the unrestricted hands of the community they terrorize. I grew up in Englewood and all of my parents' children went to college. The police didn't keep me safe and out of trouble. My parents did.I'm going to take a wild guess and sayyyyyy YOU AINT THE POLICE!

I didn't know Chicago was doing another gun turn in program for $100 dollar gift cards.

So not only are city officials endorsing child trafficking under the guise of unaccompanied illegal immigrant policies they are still supporting gun trafficking too.

Gary will likely hold another we took "x" guns off the streets presser but we ask how many thugs upgraded with the no questions asks policy?

Just one more tool....

Here's an idea, get a job, work for a living, move out of your shithole neighborhood, and pay taxes. Then pay for the city services that you don't get because all your taxes go to your old neighborhood. And to answer your question we are not crossing guards. If you gave a shit why don't you get all your friends together and volunteer your precious time to get the kiddies to and from school.

You sir are an imbecile!

Poetry!

The most apt descriptor ever of the mindset of the current malignant manling running this city.

Thrashing around on the floor bulge-eyed, bloody foam at the mouth and clawing/biting at everything...

Small, bloodshot eyes full of meanness and hatred...

You ever see a dog so vicious that he's literally too mean to die? Mortally wounded and still kicking, growling and biting.

Most animals would cry out of pain...

Most...
