On May 5th 2020 unsung hero 69-year-old Greg Zanis passed away from bladder cancer in his home in Aurora Illinois in the early hours Monday. Greg Zanis was a carpenter by trade, and he is the is the founder of Crosses for Losses, he became known as the cross man. He made handmade memorials for 23 years to commemorate victims of mass shootings and natural disasters across the country.
Over his 23-year quest to make a difference Greg has traveled over 800K miles setting up 27,000 handmade crosses for the victims and their families. I lot of people don’t know this, but Greg kept handwritten notebooks full of the 27.000 names of the victims he built memorials for.
I met Greg briefly in 2016 during the crosses march for Chicago’s over 800 homicide victims, he seemed like a nice guy to me but it was the look in his eyes, what he had in his eyes, is what’s missing in many of our fellow human beings today. It was now clear to me that he genially cared and believed in what he was doing.
I would like to extend my condolences to the Zanis Family, Greg Zanis was one of a kind and the world needs more like him Mr Zantis you will be missed by many tens of thousands and now sadly the time has come for you to unite with the people you championed throughout your life.
Rest in Peace Mr Greg Zanis

From Friday to Saturday the police radio lit up with party raids instead of the norm shooting after shooting it’s a shame it can’t stay the way it is now a lot of parties.

Bloody Chicago Video: There was another shooting on at 67th and Cottage grove, as I was rolling there on the outbound Dan Ryan heading south, I seen a bunch of sparks, cars were swerving, and then people started slamming on the brakes.
As I made my way across the expressway, I could not see something serious had just happened I then could see the people laying on the highway. Parts from the car and the bike were all over the expressway, I want to make clear there was no time to put a mask on madam mayor, so I threw your social distancing and mask mandate out the window.
Then I immediately blocked off the wreck scene with my car and put on my emergency vehicle lights then grabbed my stop the bleeding trauma kit then jumped out and started rendering medical aid the two injured bikers. The female had multiple injuries her back both legs and her head injuries looked serious and by the size of gash in the males head looked bad to but this guy never left his feet he stood tall the whole time during this traumatic situation. I hope that both bikers from the Legion of Honor Motorcycle Club recover. The clot pack Combat Gauze was given to me personally by the ladies at North American Rescue, Thanks Ladies !!!!!!!
