Chicago, IL – I don’t have a lot of information on this one, but what I do have is enough to make my stomach turn. Zachary Johnson, 20, was pissed off at his girlfriend, and after the two argued last FridayFriday reviews, Zachary showed that girl what a bad-ass motherfucker he really was. He allegedly grabbed the woman’s 3-month-old child out of her hands, locked himself in a room with the infant boy, and proceeded to knock the crap out of the kid. The mother, on the other side of the door, could hear Zachary slapping the child with an open hand. Luckily, she was able to get the door open and retrieve the baby boy before Zachary could beat him to death. Upon admission to the hospital, the child was suffering from five broken ribs, a punctured liver, bruising all over his tiny body, and bite marks. There is no word on the current condition of the child. Way to go tough guy! You can beat up a defenseless infant! You really showed her, didn’t ya? Fuckass. Zachary Johnson is now being held on $1 million bond and facing felony charges of aggravated battery to a child. [Read more...]

Chicago, Illinois – Domestic disputes rarely turn out well. Even if the police aren’t called, the “situation” is never really dropped and only seems to amplify upon the next argument. And although my “break-ups” have always been amicable, I can imagine how heated things can become when face to face with your ex or soon to be ex. Can you imagine a scenario where you’re married, your husband believes he is the father of your children and you decided to show up during a birthday celebration for one child with a couple of guys for “protection” as you give him some monumental news? What if that news was something along the lines of, “Hey honey, you’re not the daddy, this guy that I brought with me is“? Although this line was not what this lady said (at least as far as I know), it is the premise for the dispute that resulted in a one and a half month-old falling from the third story porch.

Chicago, IL- Considering the criminal record of RSO Michael Barnes, 49, I do not understand why any woman in her right mind would want to have this man in their life, let alone, leave their child in his care. In 1980, Barnes was convicted of molesting and murdering a 13-year old child. That year, he was sentenced to 4 years for indecent liberties with a child and 28 years for first-degree murder. Then in 1995, Barnes was once again sentenced to 10 years in prison for unlawful use of a weapon by a felon. Sounds like the only thing this guy is good at is costing tax payers money while he continues to prove he’s not worth a damn dime of it. Somehow, this career criminal was released on parole in May 2004 for God knows what, overcrowding in the prison, good behavior, ignorance on the parole board, and once again he is facing more prison time for severely burning a 2-year old child.

Chicago, Illinois – Gosh…look at this little girl’s mug. Isn’t she just the sweetest looking thing? Wouldn’t you just like to pinch her little cheeks right the hell off her little face? (Personally, I’d kinda like to bounce her head off a curb, but that’s just me). It’s been a long time since I have seen a mugshot that just oozes such attitude. If Little Miss SunshineLittle Miss Sunshine reviews here were my daughter, I do believe I would seriously be considering a late-term abortion. When this spoiled little brat didn’t get what she wanted, she pitched a fit – and pitched her 7-month-old baby girl, too. [Read more...]

ChicagoChicago reviews, IL-A 24-year old woman makes a visit to Chicago to see her sister. While walking the dark city streets with her friend, the two become separated and the woman finds she is lost in a place that is virtually another world to her. She calls her friend on her cell phone and is given directions on how to reach her friend’s apartment. The woman hails a cab, tells the driver her destination, and settles back in the seat confident that she will arrive safely at her friend’s home within a short amount of time.  What this woman doesn’t know, is that as she closes her eyes and succumbs to sleep from the weariness of the busy day, the man driving her cab has a different destination in mind for her. It is only when the woman awakens sometime later that she discovers he has driven her to a deserted location, not too far from the city, but very eerily close to the Twilight Zone. [Read more...]

Chicago, IL- Neighbors said Martin Vega, 27, had been causing trouble in the neighborhood for a while. During the two short months he lived there, he had shot out windows of vehicles with a BB gun and was recently accused by his landlord, William Hallin, 67, of stealing some of his work tools. Vega was renting an apartment from Hallin in a two-story home. Around 6 p.m. this last FridayFriday reviews, Hallin went to the home to collect rent from Vega. When Vega didn’t pay up, Hallin noticed Vega had a dog in the residence, which was not permitted. Hallin told Vega he would have to move out and that was when Vega flipped out and pushed Hallin down stairs to the basement of the home. Vega then began delivering blows to Hallin’s head and body with various weapons such as garden tools, an ice scraper, a BB gun, and a pipe. [Read more...]

Chicago, IL- Just from looking at his rap sheet, anyone can tell that Albert Parker, 40, does not always see eye to eye with the law. He has a history of domestic violence and was just paroled on June 18 for a prior conviction of domestic battery. Back in 1998, Parker was sentenced 8 years for attempted murder. Makes you wonder what any woman would see in a guy like that. I guess it’s like the old saying…LoveLove reviews is blind. On Saturday, police had to force their way into Albert Parker’s apartment after they couldn’t reach his 39-year old live-in girlfriend during a well-being check. [Read more...]

ChicagoChicago reviews, IL- On the first of May, 15-year old Alex Arellano was walking with several girls to a friend’s home. Two individuals on bicycles stopped Alex and asked him what he was about, referring to his gang affiliation. Alex told them he was about nothing and they rode away. A short time later, the two on bikes returned along with a Ford Mustang containing a group of Latin King gang members wielding baseball bats. They demanded Alex to “throw up the crown,” or show the gang sign for Latin Kings, and, when Alex refused, they began to beat him into the ground with the bats. [Read more...]

Joseph Warren’s Myspace

ChicagoChicago reviews, IL – Joseph Warren, 22, is a tough guy.  You can tell he’s a tough guy by the smirk, the tough guy rhetoric on his MyspaceMySpace (”The only thing promised in life is death”), and by the fact that he attacked and robbed a guy this week.   So it figures that the victim of the attack is physically disabled and has no hands.  Yeah, that Joe’s a tough guy, all right.  [Read more...]

And a hairbrush…

ChicagoChicago reviews, IL–If you are eating while perusing the Dreamin’ Demon today, you might want to put your food aside for a minute or two. Jameszenia Balentine, 49, was recently arrested and charged with criminal neglect. No biggie, huh? We read about that kind of charge weekly around here. But, this isn’t your basic run-of-the-mill neglect we’re talking about. We are talking rot, maggots, filth, and fused legs. [Read more...]

Thank God for this

ChicagoChicago reviews – For every time I’ve snarled “Fuck!” while fighting to get the ironing board out of the closet, for every “Shit!” I’ve uttered after running the iron into the edge of my hand, for the many sneers I’ve tossed in the direction of the Sunbeam while opting to just wear the damn crumpled shirt…I apologize. Were it not for one woman’s commitment to having her family’s clothing items neat and unwrinkled, Carmelo Rodriguez might’ve gotten away with some serious shit. [Read more...]
