New attack

At first, we were a little concerned with the 19th ward blog that started up recently. We thought they might have been a pawn for the current administration.

We may have been wrong. It appears that they have been the target of attacks from our city and county governments. It also appears that our city and county have people dedicated to determining who these people are that are writing blogs about them.

According to 19th Ward Chicago, their 'Relaunch' article states

At about the same time I was notified by friends that CPD and Cook County Sheriff internet units were attempting to trace my blog to find out my identity. The police looking for me is exactly what the Nazis would have done 70 years ago.

We have internet units? Our tax dollars are funding internet units? It is one thing if you are using these 'units' to track homicide offenders or various other types of offenders, but first amendments writers that protest the current uses of our tax dollars and placement of our police manpower...that is overreaching and kind of scary.

Wake up Mt. Greenwood. We see the man behind the curtain that has been promising us things our whole lives and never delivering, except to their own pockets. Demand those promises be kept or repay us the money we were forced to give for our 'rewards.'

There is no criminal matter here, so good luck. Sharing information about criminal matters, and community matters is just like a caps meeting. I really don't see police funds being used for something like this because it would draw ALOT of problems for those responsible.

Kind of seems like a threat to me. What about SCC? Are they investigating them? What's wrong with having a community crime blog?
I think they are just blowing smoke because someone dared to rattle their cage.

Excellent article and excellent blog. Whoever is running the 19th Ward blog is definately one of the goods guys. These local blogs are really important to keep everyone informed about what's going on around us.

Keep up the good work.

Oh. CAPS meetings, which are useless and waste tax dollars with their pretend employees is alright, while a community blog is not?

Puleeze.

Yeah, with cameraman in tow and then Chuck Goudie can go interview someone over at the ACLU who will say that it's freedom of speech.

God knows the shitheads have more rights than we do. Might as well play the same game.

June 14,2010 837pm. Huh? It's freedom of speech to use police resources to harass bloggers who express concerns with government? I think you're confused.
