Beat 2523 CAPS Meeting This Evening (7-28-10)

Good evening, everyone. The meeting this month had a pretty good sized crowd, I would say. I have no old problems I personally have to report, so I'm going straight to the new problems.

New problems:
* Milwaukee and Belmont - Five Latin guys disguise theirselves as day laborers are really selling and doing drugs.
* On Kostner, there is drinkers and loud music.
* On Hamlin, there was a bike theft, several problems with drunks, among other things.
* A building in the area is getting tagged heavliy.
* Large gathering of drunks in the alley behind Mulica's (Milwaukee and Haussen). They gather in groups of 15-20.

Other observations:
> This was one of the greatest meetings I've ever been to. I was applauded for the work I've been doing by CAPS Sgt. Timothy Weiglein and the entire room. I was applauded because they say I've been doing great work. I appriecate the praise I got for my work. Remember, it's for all of you. I'm here to help make this community safe for all. And, right back to the CPD, thank you so much for the work you do to keep all of us safe. You guys put your lives on the lines everyday, and I thank you for serving and protecting all of us.
> The most incidents took place in the 2900 block of N Avers. As usual, the most crimes were battery (24 reported incidents), theft (14 reported incidents) and criminal damage (12 reported incidents). The most incidents took place on Saturdays and Fridays. Most incidents took place on the street (38 reported incidents) and on the sidewalk (16 reported incidents). The most incidents took place in the 6pm, 8pm and 10am hours.

As I do in every Beat meeting post, I extend my thanks to all for being involved in this meeting. We are making progress for sure, I think, but work still needs to be done. Further more, I am very thankful to be welcomed at the meetings by everyone. At first, I thought I would get the boot because of this blog, but the complete opposite has happened, which I am grateful to everyone there for. Once again, I ask for those residents who read the blog but don't come to the meetings (because they don't want to), please, come! It only takes ONE hour of your time, and we need all of the help we can get.

Just FYI -- I will NOT be attending the August CAPS meeting, which is on the 25th of August. I will be on my small vacation from the blog and CAPS at the time of the next meeting. As much as I like coming to the meetings and doing the blog, I need a break :). But I definitely plan on coming back in September.

Thank you,
Timmy

Tonight, I'm going to the CAPS Beat 2523 meeting on Milwaukee Ave. anyway. This isn't going to stop me. Now, if the meeting was last week, I would've missed it, but this has been going on for too long now. Luckily, though, I read somewhere these things start going away after 10 days.

Burglary Mission On The 20 Sector

Good morning, everyone, it's 11:30am. I'm feeling the same as I have been for the last two days. Anyway, I need to address something with all of you. I feel I need to say something. What I will address here is the lack of respect that I have been getting from some of you lately. Most of you are really nice and thoughtful with your comments, but there are some out there who need not say anything and still do. For example, on a recent post, there was a debate about bikers and their race. It got very heated, and a reader ended up accusing me of being racist, just because I mentioned a race. I'll just say this, there is NO way in hell that I'm racist. Just no. So, to wrap this up, I honestly don't care if you guys disrespect each other. That's your thing (but, of course, if you'd like me to say something to the person who's disrespecting you, I can). But I will NOT tolerate disrespect towards myself. Why? Because I'm nice enough to care about you guys to blog crime for this community. I'm even doing it when I'm sick, when I should be doing nothing but sleeping. I don't have to do this, just know that. Quite frankly, a teen like me should be outside, looking for girls and what not. But I care enough to do this. So, I feel insulted when I get accused of things that are clearly false about me. After today, no more of it. I'll just delete your comments. So, yeah, sorry for the long entry, but this has gotten me somewhat pissed off. Without further a do, here's crime for today.

Homicide On Springfield Overnight

Well, whadya know? Logan Square has officially had it's first Homicide of the year, of 2010. A man was shot in the lower chest around 12:45am this morning in the 2100 block of N. Springfield, according to this Chicago Breaking News article. He was taken to Illinois Masonic, where he was pronounced dead. Also, a woman was shot in this incident. She suffered a graze wound to an unknown part of the body. Her condition is not known at this time.

It is confirmed. First homicide of the year in Logan Square. Well, people, what are we going to do about this? Besides gripe, that is. Every CAPS meeting I go to lately is nothing but this, and my patience with it is getting VERY short. It's only a matter of time that I snap at a meeting because of it. I'm sick and tired of it. People, the police can't do this on their own. We need to help them. We have the information, so why not tell them? What we need to do is work together to find solutions, not just complain. Otherwise, if you just want to complain, then you are NOT a part of the solution. If anything, you're part of the problem. So, what I suggest to KEEP COMING TO CAPS MEETINGS, not just come once. Seriously. In the meantime, I'll be here, keeping you informed, which most of our elected officials won't do.
