-Lurid Crime Tales-
Illinois State Rep sez coppers may be shooting Chicago kids
Illinois State Representative Monique Davis
Monique is a Chicago Democrat and a certified idiot, but I repeat myself...
is blaming the Chicago Police Department for the high number of killings in the Windy City. She is not just blaming the CPD for bad policing, though. She wonders if the police are doing some of the killing.
Better not take any chances, reassign the coppers to other districts on the North Side at once.
Davis, a House member from Chicago's South Side district, uttered the accusation on Detroit's WCHB-AM radio on July 16.

"I'm going to tell you what some suspicions have been, and people have whispered to me: they're not sure that black people are shooting all of these children," Davis told the Detroit radio audience.

She continued saying, "There's some suspicion -- and I don't want to spread this, but I'm just going to tell you what I've been hearing -- they suspect maybe the police are killing some of these kids."
"Don't want to spread this"....that's why we're using radio.
One reason "there's some suspicion," Davis said, is because there have been few arrests for the dozens of murders perpetrated on the streets of the city. Lack of arrests leads Davis to believe police are the actual killers because there are no perpetrators being fingered.
Difficult to make arrests when nobody has seen or heard nuttin.
For some strange reason, beats me as to why, gang bangers don't like ratting out people to the cops. Oh well, it's not my sub-culture...
Once word got back to Chicago that Davis was making these accusations, Chicago's WBBM-AM radio tracked her down to ask if she stood by those claims.

"I'm going to tell you what some suspicions have been, and people have whispered to me: they're not sure that black people are shooting all of these children," Davis told the Chicago radio station.
Could also be zombies or aliens.
She's not making accusations, you see, she's just asking questions. It's a standard progressive trick...
Chicago Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy was incensed by Davis's comments. "I think it's absurd, I think it's inflammatory. I think it's also insulting and racist," McCarthy said.

In a July 19 press release, Davis attempted to smooth over hard feelings by praising the Chicago police for their efforts, but she stood by her statements on the Detroit radio program.

"I'm not a detective, I'm not an investigator, I'm a shit stirring moonbat" Davis said. "I said my community, many of my people in my community, based upon their experiences and their knowledge, believe it is possible that some of these murders are committed by our finest. Now, we can't say that doesn't happen."
Until it is proven, yes we can say that it.... "doesn't happen".
She's just asking questions. Why is everyone getting so upset?

#1  Illinois State Rep sez coppers may be shooting Chicago kids

When they're thugs, why not.

#2  White cops, RJ.
Posted by: g(r)omgoru || 07/20/2013 13:38 Comments || Top||

#3  Solution - pull all the cops out of black neighborhoods. No more kids getting shot, no more distrust of police. Everybody wins, right?
Posted by: Glenmore || 07/20/2013 14:14 Comments || Top||

#4  Monique don't need no racist cops protectin' her and shit. Withdraw all cops from her neighborhood, publicly announce the address - what could go wrong?
Posted by: Frank G || 07/20/2013 14:15 Comments || Top||

#5  Skipped right over blaming the jumbotron going into Wrigley and right to the poh-lease.

If she has to go to detroit to feel safer, perhaps the kids are shooting first.

#6  Yeah, if some of these "children" were hanging out in front of her house, she'd want the CPD to call in an air strike...

News Agencies Begin Ignoring Climate Change, Because America Doesn't Care
In other words the scorn, mockery and education worked...

#1  "Do you remember climate change? If you don't, according to former climate reporter David Fogarty, part of the reason might be that his past news agency, Reuters, decided to cut back its climate change coverage just as other news organizations are coming to the same conclusion. Rather than being the evidence of a global, anti-science, climate-denying cabal, Reuters's decision reflects a far more troubling trend: the news is covering it less because, frankly, we just don't care anymore."

"Troubling"? I guess so-- but only to Gaia-worshipping, tofu-munching, Prius-driving, polar bear-saving acolytes of the Church of Anthropogenic Global Warming.

As for the rest of us, it's not that we don't care-- it's that we figured out a long time ago that the entire man-made climate change movement is nothing but a gigantic scam designed to make fraudsters like Al Gore rich and guarantee shoddy academics like Michael Mann a perpetual source of research grant dollars.

#2  Because it becomes harder and harder to pretend there is one?

#3  When 'scientific consensus' goes from global cooling to global warming to climate change in a three decade span, reasonable types just might question the premise...

#4  Also ignoring the zombie Leprechaun invasion. For the same reason.

#5  Another Obama Lie, so what,It's not that Global Warming doesn't exist,(Or does) but that we are used to them (Obama's Lies)by now.

He lies whenever he opens his mouth, and we're tired of it, safer to assume HE"S LYING.

Doesn't mean we listen any more, we don't

#6  Q: How can you tell if Obean is lying?

A: His lips are moving.

#7  Does this mean I can start reading National Geographic again?

#8  Even the media dinosaurs realize that all that ad revenue they were counting on from Solydra and the other green boondogles aren't going to arrive before the farewelling of the business model.

#9  Abu - I will never read Scientific American (actually british pompus lord), since they went fruitcake a decade or more ago.

#11  Term papers that are correctly written will get you higher grades. But, you have to do an easy step to get that, you have to buy research papers. It is easy!

#1  IMO, it's more "DC break with saudi".

#2  It's hard to be so wrong that the Saudis are right more often than you are.

Abu Sayyaf kidnapping spirals into chaos
One of the men who kidnapped journalist Ces Drilon and her crew in 2008 is not only free but is back at it. According to surveillance photographs, the man using the alias "Damz,' one of Drilon's kidnappers, is part of the group that abducted the Bansil sisters from Jolo on June 22, 2013.

They are unlikely victims for a group supposed to be fighting for Muslims. The Bansil sisters worked together to produce independent films showcasing Filipino Muslim life and culture.

Their father, Abdulbassit Bansil, is a Muslim cleric - a close associate of the founding leaders of the Philippines' two largest armed Muslim movements - the Moro National Liberation Front and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front. He married an Algerian-Moroccan, to whom the ransom demand was allegedly made.

Drilon's kidnappers were led by the most senior leader of the Abu Sayyaf, Radullan Sahiron ...
