This was no loud-mouth talking kids simply walking down the street type of thing. This was a real fucking fight, and it was a large crowd. They were even throwing objects. Not to mention, one guy may have had a gun. So don't even sit here and accuse me of calling the police for nothing, I know what I called the police for. Always have, always will. I'm not someone who calls for everything. I only call on loud-mouth kids unless they're loitering or about to fight. If you still think I'm wrong, call up the 25th District station, and they'll tell you there was a fight involving a large crowd. Why do you think we had about five squad cars and a Tactical unit on scene? The first arriving officers had trouble breaking the fight up.AvondaleLoganSquareCrimeBlotterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16265055037044651064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8688871896061751645.post-25487852717417720092010-11-08T09:52:19.287-06:002010-11-08T09:52:19.287-06:00Probably only a few kids talking loud while walkin...Probably only a few kids talking loud while walking down the street.

To answer your question, to be honest, I haven't really heard of anything going on in that area. Though, there were a lot of shootings about a year and a half ago around Diversey and Albany, involving MLDs. Maybe that tension is moving east.<br /><br />I don't think this is an isolated incident, either. I mean, two incidents of gunfire a block from each other, 6 hours apart? Something went down, and I'm going to try and find out what's going on over there.AvondaleLoganSquareCrimeBlotterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16265055037044651064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8688871896061751645.post-29403016610028936212010-11-07T13:43:43.166-06:002010-11-07T13:43:43.166-06:00Hi TImmy - I follow your site from down in 14. Ye...Hi TImmy - I follow your site from down in 14. Yesterday on chicago breaking news, I saw a report about an arrest of someone firing shots at Diversey and Mozart around 3:30 Saturday morning. I'm particularly interested because Friday night, around 7:30pm, I was walking along Diversey when I heard what sounded like 4 or so gunshots. As I got to Francisco and Diversey (somewhere in the area of where the shots sounded like they came from), I noticed tons of squad cars (many unmarked) cruising the streets and alleys. No lights or sirens, just cruising and asking if anybody saw somebody running. <br /><br />I tried to tell myself it was probably an isolated incident of some stupid kid carelessly firing a weapon, but the fact that, just 6 or so hours later, someone was arrested just a block from that same intersection for firing shots, well, that makes me think that nothing about the incident was random. <br /><br />Have you heard of anything heating up in this area? Typically in my years living here, this has not been an area of too much trouble.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8688871896061751645.post-16032385694836842092010-11-07T13:16:20.892-06:002010-11-07T13:16:20.892-06:00Oh, anonymous 11:47, if they know better, they'...Oh, anonymous 11:47, if they know better, they'll respond to my call.
