Good afternoon, everyone, it's 2:15pm. It's a warm day outside, and somewhat cloudy. It's going to rain on and off this afternoon and evening, with it cooling off into the lower to mid 70s. Anyway, I am heading to my CAPS Beat meeting this evening. It's at 6:30pm at the Copernicus Center on Milwaukee. Hope to see those of you who live on Beat 2523 come to the meeting. Also, and this might be a bit on the negative side, but as the day goes on, and throughout tomorrow, I'll be thinking of new rules for people leaving comments. Some of you who read this blog are just too immature and need to grow up. So if you want to get treated like a high school kid, you will. These new comment rules will go into effect on Monday, when I return from blog vacation. Speaking of that, yes, I'm taking a three-day break from this blog starting Friday. With that, here's crime for portions of this afternoon and evening.

FYI - you can change the settings so that every comment needs approval before it's posted.
Any info on the shots fired around 4 AM on 7/27/11 near Belmont and the 3100 block of N Sawyer?
Hi Piper, I already have that setting in effect, but I admittedly have not done such a good job moderating comments. There's a lot of times I'm busy doing more than one thing while I'm monitoring the radio, and when I get to the comments page, I usually just press the moderation button and don't look twice at comments. I will be screening comments more carefully. And, I won't be allowing anonymous comments without a name or at least a nickname on them any longer.
Anonymous 4:01, I'll make a post and ask.
Haha, I realized that once I hit "publish" :) I think not allowing anonymous comments might take care of some of your problem. It's just such a pain, and time consuming, to have to moderate every single comment.
Timmy, I'm curious as to "what you want to be when you grow up"? A police officer, community activist, crossing guard ect..? Do you ever wonder why there isn't many people at the "community meetings"? Some neighborhoods the police hate the community & the community hate the police. I have lived in many major urban cities & nowhere have I witness the hatred some folks have towards the police here in Chicago. Maybe it's that us verse them mentality?
I would like to be either a community activist (but am already in some ways), a police dispatcher, or working with special needs kids by being a bus attendant. As for your other question, I feel that it it's not only what you said, but it's also because of people being apathetic and not wanting to get involved.
I don't mean to spam the comments - but wanted to make sure everyone in the community was aware. A Pawn shop is seeking a permit for a very large space on Fullerton - the surrounding community is very vocally opposed and can use everyone's support in making sure Alderman Colon is aware!

Thanks, and wonderful blog, thanks so much for this wonderful contribution to the community!
Hope the weather isn't severe. I mean I could take high winds, lightning, and torrential rain, but no tornados. A lot of people in Chicago aren't prepaped for one or have shelter. Chicago last tornado was in the 1800s.
