| 13 Injured in Chi-Town Shootout |
| 2013-09-20 |
| Ay-Pee Posting working fine now. Thirteen people have been shot at a park on Chicago's southwest side, including a 3-year-old boy who was in critical condition. A witness says - "They've been coming round here looking for people to shoot every night, just gang-banging stuff. It's what they do." Welcome to The South Side. |

| #4 and Dr. Steve - if you ran as a Alderman with the promise and proven ideas to clean up the crime, cut decay, and improve schools with charters and vouchers, you'd lose enormously. Too white |

| #3 My office complex is across the street from the east side of Washington Park. The combat zone is the west side of the park into Englewood and extending down to about 87th street or so, wrapping east into Woodlawn and Roselawn. Drive through sometime. It's very discouraging. Yet even there you'll find decent people; they've been beaten down and cowed by the thugs, gangbangers and politicians (but I repeat myself). So much potential, human and capital, and it's all gone to waste. |

| #2 Actually, more of the westside just off the beautiful upscale Washington park area, but literally "on the other side of the tracks" just three(3) miles or so from Obama's residence in the Washington/Hyde park area as you can see from the reference map. |

| #1 Nothing. To. See. Here. Just the "quaint local customs" of the indigenous population, and no icky AR-15s to get damp panties over... |
