New Year's Eve 2010

Good morning, everyone, it's 10:30am. Happy New Year's Eve to all! Just one more day until 2011 (and I'm thanking goodness for that)! I'm happy that we're going into a new year. I hope that we have a lot less crime in Avondale and Logan Square. It's been crazy in '10. Well, anyway, we'll just be here for New Years. It'll be quiet. Also, as you may imagine, this is the last day until December 1, 2011 that I'm doing Christmas colors. So, here's crime on this last day of 2010.

I heard that they will let you shoot your guns, or even rent guns to shoot at the 14th District station parking lot for the midnite gunfest tonight.

No surprise with the 14th District. I just hope no one gets shot.

LOL I seen these bangers shooting In the streets like nothing Is going to happen, there probably shooting for ten minutes, and the cops never show up from 14. The bangers are even shooting a block away from their headquarters and they still dont do nothing. They should shut down 14 there filled with croocked cops and they have been investigated tons of times by the FBI, I guess being friends with all the drug dealers In the area they get a big profit. 25 Is better but there still Is a couple nuckleheads In there district, but there way better than 14.

You're right, the 'bangers could shoot in 14 for 10 or more minutes and the cops in that District still wouldn't do anything about it. And, yeah, they can shoot a block away from the station and still ... those cops in 14 sure are crocked. As far as them shutting down 14, I think they should just replace all of the cops currently working out of there. You're also right that they've been investigated a lot by the FBI. And, finally, I agree that while 25 does have a couple of knuckleheads (I've dealt with these idiots before, too), the cops there are way better.

Some kids teens were firing shots into the air around 7pm by Armitage and Keystone, they fired 3 times each time ringing out seven shots each. They were smart because after they fired the shots they threw in some fireworks so the neighbors wont call the cops and they didn't only I did because I say them shooting. I call but the operator said It's probably fireworks I'm like no there shooting guns and then diverting by throwing fireworks she said she was going to send cops but I'm pretty sure she didn't no one came and as Im writing this theres 5 to 7 goons out on Armitage Avenue and 8 on Dickens I dont even fell like calling because If the cops show up there not going to do anything, just drive by. There selling but still there wont come maybe 10min later after my call made, and to me It's a waste of time because they dont carry the drugs they hide them whereever.

I just heard a naked man at Cicero and Van Buren. I believe thats the Austin District. Are people this crazy tonight?

AvondaleLoganSquareCrimeBlotter said...

Americanlt, I didn't hear that call, and the Zone I'm listening to also covers that intersection. Must've been on the east side of Cicero, which starts the 11th District.

Anonymous 10:41, I didn't hear that call, and I've been listening in non-stop since 6:43, so the operator you got never forwarded your call to the dispatcher. Sorry to hear about this. But I still think you should've called in those teens doing what they were doing. The police may have came and not do anything, but at least your call would be documented with 911. And, I would be happy if they showed up in 10 minutes. That's really fast for a call like that. Most times, they don't respond for 20-35 minutes. Oh well. Happy New Year.
