What Really Killed This Chicago Man?
On Monday, February 22nd snow was falling at a steady rate in Chicago. It had been like this since the previous night and showed no signs of stopping.
It was ugly outside and even I had a very difficult time walking the short distance to the corner bus stop. There was ice and snow all over the streets and sidewalks.
I had barely gotten to the Midway Orange Line when a text alert message came though that LSD was shut down due to a severe accident.
LSD to us, and Lake Shore Drive to outsiders is dangerous even when dry and a clear day. Even worse, concrete planters plopped in place to hold flowers and other landscaping highlight the severe zigzag of the Drive. However city officials found out the planters had a problem: salt was getting inside the planters and ruining the plants.
On this morning, one of our Chicagoans that worked for our city was patrolling in a city issued vehicle such as this one:
Combine that and loud whispers that the city ordered the stopping of salt of LSD that very early morning.
Sgt Haymaker, 56, a former Minister and 21 year veteran of the Chicago Police Dept, was responding to a burglary call at around 5 a.m. when he lost control of his squad car, hit a pole and a tree near the very icy Irving Park exit on Lake Shore Drive.
He was pinned inside the car and died of his injuries a few hours after the accident. I come from a neighborhood FULL OF CITY WORKERS. I grew up and still reside here. It's pretty shitty that not one person can secretly produce something without revealing themselves to let this man who gave us his life, rest in peace. I would sure hate to be anyone who knows what really happened and carry that with you the rest of your life. Karma has a way of coming back to you, and so imagine if this happened to one who salts our streets or their family. What would they do then?
If you look at these photos, you can see how bad LSD was that day:
WHAT REALLY KILLED THIS MAN?
FHP: Driver lacked razor-sharp focus
As authorities nationwide warn motorists of the dangers of driving while texting, Florida Keys law enforcement officers add a new caution: Don't try to shave your privates, either.
Florida Highway Patrol troopers say a two-vehicle crash Tuesday at Mile Marker 21 on Cudjoe Key was caused by a 37-year-old woman driver who was shaving her bikini area while her ex-husband took the wheel from the passenger seat.
"She said she was meeting her boyfriend in Key West and wanted to be ready for the visit," Trooper Gary Dunick said. "If I wasn't there, I wouldn't have believed it. About 10 years ago I stopped a guy in the exact same spot ... who had three or four syringes sticking out of his arm. It was just surreal and I thought, 'Nothing will ever beat this.' Well, this takes it."
Nick It or Ticket! LOL

911 call reveals Mich. girl's pleas to help mother
Her mother shot and dying in a Detroit home, an 8-year-old girl desperately pleaded to a 911 dispatcher for help. But Monica Botello's daughter didn't know where she was or how to tell police to get there.
"My mommy's in the basement and, I need, emergency, and I need ... hello?" the girl said during the frantic call Monday night from Botello's cell phone.
"Where at?" the dispatcher replied in the recording police released Friday.
Um, I'm at ... I'll go ask my mommy. "Mommy?" the girl yelled
Urban Decay: Alice in Wonderland
I love these colors! Wish we could get it...
What a dream come true! When Disney called to ask if we would design a product for the launch of Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland, we were like, “Um…. Yes!” The result is this truly amazing (and seriously collectible) Book of Shadows.
Open the palette to reveal a pop-up scene of Alice in the mushroom forest. Her “drink me” bottle discarded, she staggers past towering mushrooms, only to cross paths with a very peculiar, hookah-smoking caterpillar. A large mirror rests behind the scene – you feel as if you are transported into the film itself.
Hidden inside a secret drawer are 16 best-selling Eyeshadows, given topsy-turvy names like White Rabbit, Jabberwocky and Oraculum. Alongside them lie travel sizes of Eyeshadow Primer Potion and two 24/7 Eye Pencils. From smoky neutral eyes to flashes of hallucinogenic green and purple, the looks you can create are as endless as the rabbit hole itself. Anyone who loves Urban Decay, Tim Burton, Disney, or Alice in Wonderland absolutely MUST have this palette. Even the Mad Hatter would say this Book of Shadows delivers it all.

World’s Largest Ice Maze
Over 60 thousand people gathered in downtime Buffalo, for the Powder Keg Festival, and the chance to go through the world’s largest ice maze.
Apart from all the delicious food and the fun rides, people in Buffalo were most excited about the giant ice maze built in the center of the city. The world record creation was made up of 22 hundred blocks of ice that weighed 600 thousand pounds of ice.
Now, as the ice maze begins to melt, local authorities are confronted with a flooding problem, so they’ve set up several pumps to drain the water into the streets
The Chicago Police Dept is Racist
We were sitting on the train Friday morning sipping a coffee when we almost lost it from laughing at the Second City Cop Blog:
Applications for Chicago Police Commander are due in 08 March 2010. Hispanic church leaders, seizing on the recent departure of a police commander, Robert Lopez, has upset religious leaders and resurrected criticisms that the department has an abysmal record of promoting Hispanics to the department's highest levels.
Members of the clergy announced plans to protest at City Hall next week and call for Weis' resignation because of the failure to diversify the department.
We hear that Commander Lopez was supposedly delivered the news at the recent funeral of Sgt Haymaker. Classy!
But here's the best part that made us laugh ironically announced the very same day as clergy threatened to protest -
D/C Roberto ZAVALA promoted to Chief of Patrol North
Cmdr John ESCALANTE promoted to D/C Area 5
Lt. Carlos VELEZ promoted to Commander, 025th District
Lt. Linda FLORES promoted to Commander, 014th District
How do you say CLASS ACTION DISCRIMINATION LAWSUIT in Spanish??????
Ole!
Cool Lip Balm
We just absolutely LOVE this lip balm!
It's a fun egg-shaped container that makes your lips nice and smooth. The best part though is it reminds me of summer -we use both the honeydew and summer fruit. The container also is perfect for leaving one at work, etc.
It's only a couple bucks and well worth it!
Slather on summer right now!

Pentagon gunman sought 'truth' about 9/11
The gunman who shot two Pentagon police officers was heavily armed and spent weeks driving to the Capital area from the West Coast, authorities said Friday.
Resentment of the U.S. government and suspicions over the 9/11 attacks have surfaced in writings by the Californian identified as the man fatally wounded in a hail of return fire.
Bedell was wearing a suit, armed with two 9 millimeter semiautomatic weapons and carried "many magazines" of ammunition
Real cops rip new film, 'Brooklyn's Finest'
"I just wish once they would do a story about a guy who comes in and does an honest day's work, but that would never sell," fumed retired homicide detective Louis Savarese, who spent 33 years in the Brooklyn neighborhoods featured in the film.
"It's more of liberal Hollywood trashing the people who protected people who want to be protected," said Killen.

Man Flips Off Police, Then Sues Them
CLACKAMAS, Ore. -- One man is taking lone, one-fingered stance for what he calls the people's "right to dissent."
Robert Ekas says he flipped the bird at two Clackamas County sheriff's deputies on two separate occasions last month.
"It's a right for every citizen to say, 'I don't like the way things are going so I'm not going to go along with the program,'" Ekas said.

Coast Guard Helicopter Crash

Report Eddie Fenton, Get $5000!
Willie Williams Jr. says his son, Willie Williams III (pictured), was a talented basketball player and a proud member of the Chicago-based Jesse White Tumblers

Photos: Unsafe Chicago Police Cars
We inspected the thread on the above photo. No police officer was there let alone knew we did this inspection. There is barely ANY THREAD on this tire.
Tires are like shoes. If you wear cheap, crappy ones then you have severe problems.
It's faulty equipment that endangers our peace officers let alone increases risks for higher injury and disablement.
Here's a tire on a different patrol car. This tire needs to be replaced.
The below photos are from Second City Cop:

Drug gangs taking over U.S. public lands
Not far from Yosemite's waterfalls and in the middle of California's redwood forests, Mexican drug gangs are quietly commandeering U.S. public land to grow millions of marijuana plants and using smuggled immigrants to cultivate them...
"Just like the Mexicans took over the methamphetamine trade, they've gone to mega, monster gardens"
