2 held in July 4th Near North robberies
Two men are accused of robbing people of iPhones during separate incidents on the Near North Side during the night of the July 4th fireworks, police said.
Quejuan Henley, 18, and Harold William Cherry, 25, were both charged with felony robbery, police said.
Henley is accused of grabbing an iPhone from a 41-year-old woman walking with her son about 9:40 p.m. Thursday at Division Street and Lake Shore Drive in the Gold Coast neighborhood while Cherry, who was armed with a knife, allegedly snatched a cell phone from a 51-year-old man sitting in his car about 11 p.m. Thursday in the 500 block of North Michigan Avenue in the Near North neighborhood
In the incident involving Henley, the victim told police she was holding her son's hand and her iPhone in the other hand while walking, according to a police report. Henley is accused of forcefully pulling the phone from the woman, causing her to spin around and lose her grip of the phone. She began chasing him briefly, yelling "Give me my phone," before an unknown accomplice tripped her, causing her to fall to the ground and scrape her right knee and left wrist, the report said.
In a separate incident about an hour later in the 500 block of North Michigan Avenue, Cherry allegedly "pounded on" the car window of a 51-year-old Northwest Side man before "snatching open" the door of his 2011 Honda Civic and, with a clenched fist, demanding that the motorist give him his cell phone, police said Read full story here- CHICAGO TRIBUNE And this excerpt from the Second City Cop Blog on the mayhem-

Cops tout lowest homicide count since '65, CPD data show virtual tie with '11
That number of slayings, 184, is the lowest total Chicago police have reported to the FBI for thefirst half of a year since reporting 180 in 1965, according to official Police Department statistics.\ (Chicago media not going along for the total ride?) But internal department data obtained by the Tribune show an identical number of people were slain in Chicago during the first six months of 2013 and 2011 — 188. The difference between the figures is that the official Chicago police tally to the FBI did not include four killings — at least three of which took place within city limits on expressways patrolled by the state police. Real total for homicides in Chicago for the first six months of the year is 199 Totals can be added up here- A Murder or here- Chicago Violence Scoreboard
Black Grassroots Activists Protest Obama Fundraiser, City Hall, ABC News in Chicago
Thursday evening in Chicago, black grassroots activists fed up with manipulation of their suffering by city leadership turned out to protest a fundraiser for President Obama held by Mayor Rahm Emanuel and Illinois Speaker of the General Assembly Michael Madigan.
According to the protesters, Emanuel, Madigan, and Obama pretend to try to help their communitybut do nothing to curb the funneling of money and contracts to corrupt community organizations and union-controlled worksites that won’t hire black labor. According to Mark Carter of the Broke Party, a newly formed group of black grassroots activists fed up with the destruction and blight brought on their community by the liberal agenda, the protest was “about bringing attention to the demolition of homes in Chicago’s black communities on the west and south sides.” These buildings, Carter says, “can still be saved, but the city is tearing them down,” leaving property values and the community in the gutter.

In 1990, in while trying to conjure up another way of grabbing the glare of Chicago's compliant TV news cameras, Pfleger came up with the idea of going after booze. Taking a page from Carrie Nation and the little old ladies of the abolitionist movement of the 1920s, he figured that booze was the bane of the black man. He began mobilizing his prohibitionists to start defacing liquor billboards. He demanded that Walgreen's, one of the few chain stores left in what black activists call a "grocery store desert," stop selling beer, wine and liquor in black neighborhoods. Walgreens caved in and ceased liquor sales in its West side and South side stores. But the exploitative, price gouging corner stores there went right on ahead selling Mad Dog 20/20, high-alcohol Ice Beer and Thunderbird fortified wine by the carload.
CIC has heard directly from liquor store owners within the community that Rear End Pfleger services (Gresham), that the sure way to become part of one of Satanic St. Sabina's protests marches, is to fail to contribute to Rear End Pfleger's church after getting the "why haven't you contributed to St. Sabina" call. Of course, if the Chicago media wasn't a brought and paid for puppet, they could and would easily prove or disprove these calms. You can be sure they won't.
So in the end, here is how the scam works-
Eliminate the corner liquor store's competition through a do gooder's campaign
The corner liquor stores can now raise their prices
Hit the corner liquor stores up for contributions
Protest the stores that don't give money (The old protection money racket)
The black community can still get their drink on, althought at a higher price
Kelly Davis wonders what would have happened had he been looking the other way
for just a few moments.
He was standing in Daley Plaza, watching his
2-year-old and 4-year-old daughters slide down the Picasso sculpture, when he
saw a man rushing toward Myla, the youngest girl, Saturday evening.
The
man grabbed the girl's arm, muttering "This is my daughter, Goldilocks," but
Davis said he wrestled him away and then chased him through alleys and building
lobbies before finally flagging down police.
"I have no doubt that if I
had my back turned, he would have grabbed her and she would have been gone in
the city and I would have never seen her again," said Davis, 31, who lives in
Zion and drives a school bus.
James Gates, 55, was charged with attempted
kidnapping and battery, and is being held on $150,000 bail. Police say he has a
record that includes armed robbery and drug possession.
Complete story here- Chicago Breaking News Here's an interview with the dad interview
After being criticized, MSNBC.com restored the proper context but never posted a retraction, correction notice, or an apology for doing so.
Originally, the story quoted from Zimmerman's call to 9-1-1 and edited the text to say the following: "'This guy looks like he’s up to no good … he looks black,' Zimmerman told a police dispatcher from his car."
But here is what MSNBC/NBC News left out
ZIMMERMAN: This guy looks like he's up to no good, or he's on drugs or something. It's raining, and he's just walking around, looking about. 911 DISPATCHER: Okay, is this guy, is he white, black, or Hispanic? ZIMMERMAN: He looks black.
Not only did Zimmerman not equate Martin's skin color with his looking suspicious; he didn't even initiate the comment. It was simply a response to the police dispatcher.
And this from ABC news- A police surveillance video taken the night that Trayvon Martin was shot dead shows no blood or bruises on George Zimmerman, the neighborhood watch captain who says he shot Martin after he was punched in the nose, knocked down and had his head slammed into the ground.
But here's the truth- Reporter Matt Gutman said the clearer video shows "what appear to be a pair of gashes or welts on George Zimmerman's head."
And this bullshit fromCharles Blow of the Times, from Mar 25(What a perfect name for a NYslimes retorter)
To believe Zimmerman’s [self-defense] scenario, you have to believe that Trayvon, an unarmed boy, a boy so thin that people called him Slimm, a boy whose mother said that he had not had a fight since he was a preschooler, chose that night and that man to attack. You have to believe that Trayvon chose to attack a man who outweighed him by 100 pounds
But here's the truth- the neighborhood watch coordinator, 5-foot-9 and 170 pounds, and the visitor, 6-foot-1 and 150, wrestling on the ground.
Let's not forget the racist media's editing of a black 4 year old's words to make him seem violent and intent on getting his hands on a gun A Chicago television station is being blasted by civil rights leaders and news media professionals for airing edited video of a 4-year-old boy that took his statements out of context, violating the basics of journalism ethics.
The Maynard Institute published a story on July 21 detailing how Chicago CBS station WBBM ran a story about the June 29 shooting of two teenagers in the Park Manor neighborhood.
A freelance photographer interviewed the youngster about whether the shooting frightened him. The station aired the portion of the interview in which the boy responded by saying he was not afraid and wanted his own gun.
However, it failed to air the portion of the child’s quote in which he said he wanted a gun because he planned to be a police officer. Here's the video-CBS RACIST LIBERAL BULLSHIT
With 2 plus hours of following Blagojevich's car by news helicopter from the Denver airport to the prison
With news people like the ones at WGN no wonder Illinois and Chicago lead the nation in corrupt public officials.
Here's some of the news anchor's banter during the Blagojevich prison Breaking News adventure.....
Don't you believe like many people that Blagojevich's sentence is too long?
A Cop while driving drunk kills a kid and only gets three years, yet Blagojevich gets fourteen years that's doesn't seem right.
They really didn't catch him actually doing anything, do you thing his sentence is justified?
And the sleeping with the crooked politicians and ass kissing just went on and on...
But the biggestass at 9 making the biggest asinine statement was- Dina Bair
With this asinine statement...........
You have to wonder why the Government ended its case against Blagojevich before he went beyond the conspiracy stage and actually committed a crime.
Ahhh... Dina can we remind you and your colleagues that it was the the Tribune (A branch of the new media company that includes WGN) that broke the story on the Rod Blagojevich wiretap, thereby tipping off Blago that his phones were being tapped and stopping an on going investigation into the crooked Illinois and Chicago Democratic machine that could have reach all the way to the White House. In case you forgot here it is- HOW THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE REVEALED THE BLAGO SCOOP
Some residents said the police response for the wounded officer seemed large compared to other shootings in the community.
Yeah, no shit.
UPDATE: The Tribune is already changing the story as posted - we copied the italicized comment directly as it appeared at 10:33 PM by reporter Liam Ford. By 11:39 PM, the story had been "updated" with a quote from Pat "the Orange One" Camden....and amazingly, the blatant liberal slant previously posted by Liam Ford (and Peter Nickeas, Erin Meyer and Jeremy Gorner) was changed to the following:
Some residents said the police response was large.
Right before your very eyes - media bias and then media cover-up. Dishonest, lying, biased motherfuckers, every single one of them.
THIS IS WHAT THE MAYOR SAID: Mayor Rahm Emanuel said today that he agreed with the decision Monday by Chicago police to close North Avenue Beach after several people began showing signs of heat-related sickness. The Police Superintendent agreed with the Mayor wholeheartedly and Chicago's pathetic news media ate it up and regurgitated it to the fair citizens of Chicago.
At North Avenue Beach, high-ranking officers were part of the foot patrol on Friday and police and paramedic bike units were patrolling along with the full mounted unit.
Sources said officers have been told to be diligent – if they see a situation where crowds are gathering and there’s the potential for trouble, the situation needs to be handled immediately. "Police don’t want a repeat of the mob attacks that plagued North Avenue Beach on Memorial Day".
