Chicago Fathers Day Celebrations Kill 6, Wound 18
2013-06-16
Could better be classified 'Home Front WOT'
Two dozen people were shot Saturday afternoon into Father's Day Sunday across the city, according to authorities.
My title is not entirely facetious - the lack of meaningful father-child relationships is the root cause behind most of these shootings.
Of the 24 people shot, six died either at the crime scenes or at local hospitals. The youngest was 16. One of the men killed was an armed man shot by police after he raised a 9-millimeter handgun in their direction after bailing from a moving car, authorities said.

The shootings stretched from 9400 S. Loomis Avenue on the South Side up to about North Avenue and Pulaski in the Hermosa neighborhood.
I don't know Chicago geography/demography, but I can make a good guess...

#1  Glenmore does anyone really need to guess. Check out the 2009 Chicago Police Stats.

Since the Gun ban isn't working maybe they could put all the minority gun owners on Double Secret Probation. That's the ticket.
