Boy, 14, brutally executed on his doorstep in Chicago is sixth teenager shot since Friday
2013-01-14
[DAILYMAIL.CO.UK] Witnesses say two gunmen shot and killed a 14-year-old Chicago boy Friday night as he stood on his porch, and then left him to die in the front hallway of his own home, authorities said.

The shooting came just hours after a 15-year-old boy was fatally shot in a separate attack.

The death marks the sixth shooting of a teenager since Friday.

#11  Little-reported fact about last year's record in Chicago -- only 16% of them were passed along to prosecutors. Another 9% were flagged as "solved" but without enough information to prosecute due to lack of evidence, witnesses, etc.

The remaining 75% were unsolved.

I'd say "they're not even trying", but I think the average cop *IS*, they're just not allowed to actually accomplish anything. Then there's that "snitches get stitches" culture...

#10  There was a time in the late '60s when I lived in Illinois and Jesse actually talked sense about black problems.

Oh well, we all age, some of us more gracefully.

#8  Watched the video, at the link, he's got a nice sticker in his Gun cabinet "Fight Crime, SHOOT BACK".

If you don't share the views, you're a loon.

And I don't want to know you.

#7  Jesse jackson's an ass, and publicly, he won't last long.

Claiming "Religious Leader" Is too like the Islamics, itll bite him in Yhe ass before too long.

Even "Great Black Religious Leader" Pales in time.

And it's time.

#6  Rev. Jesse Jackson was interviewed on Fox. He's suggesting that firearm related crime should become a 'Department of Homeland Security' issue and manufacturers be held accountable. I think I see where this is rapidly going.

#4  Strangely, global warming and the soon-coming ecological Armageddon is caused by "man". The urban carnage described herein is caused by a small, hand-held device.
