Shouldn't it be called Ch-yria now?

Obama's hometown too. I'm sure he'll comment on this.

 

[nardibynature123]

A good start.

 

[NovaHoops2002]

Could have been his son.

I hope it was over quickly for the poor kid. What a terrible story.

 

[owlaboutit]

Reading this article made me physically ill...there are no words to describe this kind of depravity....and still no one will speak up for this child. Animals treat their offspring better.

Where are the "black leaders"? Where is Obama? Where is the outrage and disgust?

Just inconceivable.

I hope the people that protested Trayvon Martin string this out for months.

Doesn't fit their....wait for it...wait for it....."Narrative"

This story shouldn't go away. It's that horrific. The non-cooperation, if true, is almost as bad as the actual crime.

Waiting for BustaNutter to comment on how he slashed the CoP murder rate.

Is this part of Obama's legacy?

He seems like he was a pretty decent father too.

Tough one. Here's the best I've got. First, the good old this isn't really happening much in "Chicago proper":
http://www.neighborhoodscout.com/top-lists/highest-murder-rate-cities/("East Chicago ranks 15 and Harvey 11, but not Chicago proper")
and, you know, my neighborhood is safe (NIMBY):
http://crime.chicagotribune.com/chicago/homicides
http://www.dnainfo.com/chicago/2015-chicago-murders/explore-data?neighborhood=Lincoln+Park
That's the best I can do right now. Terrible effort on my part, but I'm dealt a challenging hand here.

Where is your neighborhood?

The zero homicide blue zone right below Lakeview (as per the third link in my prior post).

 

[RW_Prescott]

Nice. Just grabbed a steak at Gibsons on Tuesday night. Not far from said blue zone.

 

[Novacatt94]

Imagine the despair that someone must have felt to lead them to do something like this.

As long as you didn't hit a barbeque and brandish a knife you are safe in that neighborhood. One murder this year: http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/ct-chicago-stabbing-murder-20150823-story.html

For you CoP'ers.

Chicago is the 3rd largest cities in America. It is located in the state of Illinois.

They have 5 professional sports teams.

Michael Jordan played professional basketball for the Chicago Bulls there.

Ahem. Make that 6.

0 chance he will cooperate. His gang will carry out their own revenge on the street.

Thanks, Shoop.

Gotta say, not cooperating is gangster as hell. I'm actually impressed. A true G.

Sounds to me like she's a certain kind of rich

Have the #blacklivesmatter protestors arrived yet? When do the riots start? Oh that's right, outrage is reserved for when a cop has to take a life in the line of duty.

Interesting wording.
