it's the main headline at iwon or at least was at the time that i am posting this.
iWon News - 3 teens fatally shot on Chicago's South Side |
It is a national story, I think, because of the 13 year old, the 3 dead, as well as an assault rifle having been used. |

You could always go hang out there for a while and find out for yourself. Be sure to get back to us. |

I urge for everyone to do this before they make a decision to move somewhere.
I could never imagine myself signing a lease or buying a home and moving somewhere without visiting the area in person first. |

Before police can even start to get a hold of the situation, we need to actually let them do their jobs instead of crying "POLICE BRUTALITY" every time they have to manhandle someone, such as in the recent "drunk on a bus" police "scandal." |
