It was reported on the Local CBS, NBC, ABC, WGN channels. The OP just had nothing else to complain about today.

I have absolutely no doubt that you don't see what the problem is, it certainly isn't honest Americans who own firearms.

the obvious solution is to severely limit handgun ownership within city limits.
oh wait...

Not news articles online. I could find news about a mosquito landing on a horse's ass online also. But that's not the national evening news.

Especially when these shootings have been happening with regularity all year long, and not a single peep out of the president.

If this happened under any other president, the FBI would already be involved.
Oh, please show us every President that has ordered the FBI to look into every killing.

ABC

All reported on it and they even have video...Who would have thought? Pathetic.
And yet all of these people not from the area are complaining about something they didn't even bother to look up.

The mayor doesn't control those streets. He knows that. You've heard me mention many times before that if Chicago's black youth had joined the Occupy protest, there wouldn't have been mass beatings by the police. I'm sick and tired of the double standards and flat out bullsh*t that goes on in this country. Nancy Grace will jump from kidnapping, to kidnapping, but won't talk about anything of relevance when it comes to saving our inner cities and impoverished minority communities. We have billions for wars, but not millions to help clean up these communities and give the people there some dignity.


Police beat corralled protesters in chicago at State and Washington: 19 May 2012 #NATO - YouTube

Luckily for Chicago though, something big is happening there. That's all I'll say about it.

The Black Youth of Chicago need to join in the protest and start making some demands to clean up our communities.

Who cares? The people living there love that type of action, they keep voting for the same party/people, let them enjoy the show.

I have to say I am so glad that I don't live in Chicago. It would seem that the criminals do as they please.

Yup keeping these places gun free is sure payin' off
