South Elgin officer saves woman, nephew from pit bull

Police Sgt. Craig Steurer heard the cries for help as he arrived at a South Elgin home after responding to a 911 call of a dog attack.
"It sounded bad to me," he said of the radio call he heard Saturday afternoon. "It just wasn't the normal bite and let go."
Steurer eventually had to shoot to death a pit bull that was attacking a woman and had already bitten her young nephew.
The dog belonged to the woman's roommate but had been living in the home for only about a week after its original owner moved from the area, Steurer said.
When Steurer arrived at the home in the 0-99 block of Churchill Court, he walked in through the garage and heard the cries, which led him upstairs.
"I turned and looked. There was a medium-size brown pit bull," he said. The dog's mouth was clamped on the 41-year-old woman's forearm.
She "was covered head to toe in smeared blood," Steurer said. The dog was "actively chewing and pulling on her right arm. I was thinking, what am I going to do to get this dog off of her?"
Steurer said he grabbed the dog by its neck, which caused it to let go of the woman.
"He dug his feet in, turned his head … toward me and growled," Steurer said.
Fearing another attack, Steurer said he decided to shoot the dog.
At that point, other officers had arrived and tended to the woman, who was taken to Provena St. Joseph Hospital in Elgin and later transported to Advocate Lutheran General Hospital in Park Ridge.
Officers also found the woman's 5-year-old nephew and 11-year-old niece in a bedroom.
Steurer said the dog first attacked the boy and then turned on the woman after she intervened. The boy's sister brought him into a bedroom, shut the door and called 911, Steurer said. The boy suffered bites to his arm and hand.

Ghetto baby shower fight ends in the death of 9 month old baby- The consequences for actin all ghetto

Detroit — A fight over a seat at a baby shower triggered the killing of a 9-month-old boy, according to the victim's grandmother.
Delric Miller IV died Monday as he slept on the couch in his home on the 8400 block of Greenview Avenue. Police said someone fired at the house with an AK-47-type assault rifle about 4:30 a.m., leaving behind 37 shells. One of the rounds hit the baby, who was pronounced dead at Sinai-Grace Hospital.

Delric's grandmother, Cynthia Wilkins, said she believes the shooting was retaliation for a skirmish Sunday at a baby shower at Club Celebrity on Plymouth Rd. in Detroit.
"The shower was overbooked, and there was an argument because there weren't enough seats," said Wilkins. Her daughter, Diamond Salter, attended the shower, which was thrown by a friend, Wilkins said.
"A woman got mad because she couldn't find a seat, so she started knocking tables down, and it escalated from there," Wilkins said. "My daughter and her friends left the club, but (a group of men and women) followed them to a gas station, and there was a fight with one of the guys who was at the shower with my daughter. Then, they followed them to the house.
"I think they came back the next day and shot up the house," said Wilkins, who sobbed as she recounted the events. "They went to the shower to celebrate life; instead, a life was destroyed."
The shooting has outraged both police and residents, and prompted Detroit 300, a group of community activists fed up with crime, to go door-to-door asking questions, in hopes of finding the killer or killers.
A task force consisting of the FBI, the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco Firearms and Explosives and the Wayne County Sheriff's Office is investigating the case.
"Life is not valued in Detroit. It's a war zone here," Wilkins said. "We need some ground troops patrolling these streets; they send them all overseas, but they need to be here."
The death was the 43rd homicide in the city this year, up from 35 in the period last year. It's also the second killing of a youngster in Detroit in the past month.
"Again, adult behavior has brought another child in Detroit to an end," said Police Chief Ralph Godbee

Gary Indiana restaurant worker kills holdup man (Now that's justice and a carry and conceal state)

A Gary restaurant worker shot and killed a holdup man in an attempted robbery last Wednesday. The robber and an accomplice ran out of the restaurant, but his body was found in a nearby vacant lot the next afternoon.

The Lake County prosecutor isn't likely to prosecute the worker.

One of the holdup men grabbed an employee and the other brandished an Uzi-type weapon before the Rally's employee opened fire

Can we please trade our nutty Mayor for Mayor Nutter

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) – Following a shooting Tuesday night in the Juniata section of the city that left three teens dead, Mayor Michael Nutter today had strong words for the shooter, calling him “a dog.”
The outraged mayor also had strong words for the parents of Philadelphia’s youth, telling them “not to act like idiots and a–holes.”
While Nutter says he is gratified about the quick arrest in the multiple shooting, he is fuming that the victims were out on Tuesday night apparently looking for trouble. And he blames their parents.
“Seven young people, somewhere between 14 and 16 years old, on a Tuesday night, a school night, are out in a car going to somewhere to have a fight with some other teenager. That is completely insane, it is irresponsible. Parents have to know where their children are and what they are doing,” the mayor said.
“Their little butts should have either been in bed, getting ready for bed, or doing some homework,” Nutter added. “Not out in a car, not in some other neighborhood, and not up to this kind of nonsense. I’m not your mom and I’m not your dad. We cannot completely legislate, or by policy, make people responsible for their children.”

L.A. arson wave grows to about 40 fires

With about 40 arson fires across Los Angeles in the last three days, the wave of intentional blazes that started in Hollywood on Friday is the worst since the 1992 riots, officials said.
Authorities said they remained unsure whether the fires were the work of one arsonist or several people, perhaps including copycats. Although the majority of the fires have occurred in the Hollywood area, some also were reported in the San Fernando Valley, Westside and as far south as Lennox near the 105 Freeway.

2-year-old shot in mob brawl in S. Philly

A critically wounded 2-year-old girl was among four people shot Tuesday night in South Philadelphia when a mob of girls charged a house and gunfire erupted in a dispute stemming from a high school fight, police said.
A 10-year-boy and a 59-year-old woman, who live in the same house as the toddler, also were wounded and were hospitalized in stable condition. A 25-year-old man was shot in the finger.
Police were called at 7:31 p.m. to the 1200 block of South Bucknell Street in response to a report of a melee and gunfire.
The 2-year-old was shot in the stomach and hip areas and in a hand, police said. The boy was shot in the right calf. Both were being treated at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.
The woman was shot in the left leg, police said. She was taken to the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania.
The gunman was described as black, 25 to 30 years old, weighing about 210 pounds and standing about six feet tall, police said. He was wearing a white T-shirt, blue jeans, and a fitted baseball cap. He was last seen running south on Bucknell.
Police spokesman Lt. Raymond Evers said a fight among girls at South Philadelphia High School led to another altercation and, ultimately, the shooting.
Some of the girls from the high school fight showed up at the house of another girl on Bucknell, Evers said. "The girls were pushing into the house," Evers said.
Some neighbors got involved, and one girl called an unidentified man, Evers said. A group of men arrived at the scene and the fighting escalated. Two men pulled out guns and one of them began firing

Teen illegal aliens plead not guilty in California rapes and a newspaper identifies them as illegal now that's a surprize!

SAN DIEGO — Two 16-year-old boys were charged Monday with rape, kidnapping, sodomy and other crimes in connection with a sexual assault this month of two girls in a Rancho Peñasquitos park.
Leonel Contreras and William Steven Rodriguez pleaded not guilty to 16 charges at an arraignment in San Diego Superior Court. Judge Michael Smyth ordered the pair held on $5 million each.
Prosecutors charged the juveniles as adults, which means the potential prison sentences are much greater. Thirteen of the charges carry maximum sentences of 25 years to life, meaning the two possibly face at least 325 years to life in prison.
Deputy District Attorney Wendy Patrick described a harrowing ordeal that began the evening of Sept. 3 when the two girls, ages 15 and 16, went to the park on Spindletop Road. They had been attending a family birthday party nearby.
Patrick said Rodriguez also lives in the neighborhood. But she emphasized three times that the attacks were a “stranger rape,” and neither of the girls knew their assailants.
The girls were accosted at knifepoint by two assailants in the park, Patrick told the judge. They were led out of the park and across the street, up an embankment and into a secluded area.
There, Patrick said the girls were forced to take off their clothes and then sexually assaulted, enduring what the prosecutor told Smyth was “every kind of rape you can imagine.”
The assailants took turns attacking each of the victims during the assault, which Patrick estimated lasted 30 to 40 minutes. It ended only when the attackers heard the voices of the girls’ family members calling for them.
Before fleeing on a bicycle that was hidden nearby, the two boys threatened the girls with harm if they told anyone about the assault, Patrick said.
The boys were arrested Thursday but were not together at the time. Rodriguez was arrested in Poway; Contreras in National City. How they knew each other was not explained in court.
Patrick said both are in the United States illegally.

Gunfire repeatedly rocks West Indian Day Parade in Brooklyn leaving 7 fatalities among the 49 gunshot victims



This what they call culture



and this

 Was this a parade or a firing range?
Gunfire repeatedly rocked the West Indian Day Parade in Brooklyn yesterday -- even while Mayor Bloomberg marched nearby -- as the city's terrifying epidemic of shootings over the Labor Day weekend grew steadily worse.
The orgy of violence -- including seven fatalities among the 49 gunshot victims -- seemed to follow the revelers everywhere, from the parade route to nearby fast-food joints and even to their own homes.
In all, nine of the shooting victims were hit at or near the parade, the annual Caribbean-themed festival in Crown Heights, where a gunman had fired into the air only blocks from where Bloomberg had just begun marching.

The shocking 72-hour shooting tally came as police revealed that the number of people who took a bullet in the past week had skyrocketed.
For the week ending Sunday, a whopping 98 people had been shot -- nearly twice the 53 shot during the same week last year, the NYPD said.

There are a whole lot of dumb asses serving on juries- Burglar's family awarded$300,000 in wrongful death suit

An El Paso County jury on Friday awarded nearly $300,000 to the daughter of a burglar who was fatally shot in 2009 while breaking into an auto lot.
Parents of the victim, Robert Johnson Fox, embraced their attorneys after a judge announced the jury’s verdict, capping a two-week-long civil trial in which business owner Jovan Milanovic and two relatives were painted as vigilantes who plotted a deadly ambush rather than let authorities deal with a string of recent burglaries.
Phillip and Sue Fox, who filed suit for wrongful death in 2010 on behalf of Fox’s 3-year-old daughter, called the jury’s award a victory in their fight to seek accountability for the death of their son, who they say never posed a threat to the heavily armed men.
“Rob was in the wrong place doing the wrong thing, but the punishment didn’t fit the crime,” Sue Fox said afterward. “I can’t excuse his actions, but he didn’t deserve to be executed.”
