At a news conference, Superintendent Garry McCarthy lauded the help of the community in solving the slaying of 9-year-old Antonio Smith Jr., saying police had little to go on after his shooting Aug. 20 in a back yard in the Greater Grand Crossing neighborhood

Chicago, just build a wall around it, toss in a thousand guns ... wait a month, and all will be fine. I know what I’m saying is cruel and sadistic, but does anyone else have a better answer?

Sorry, I’m not a film buff so I don’t recognize the reference. I’m sure you are making a profound statement, it is just lost on me. ;-)

A black kid was murdered. Expect the riots to begin any minute now. No, ...well, that’s understandable, cause everyone knows changing the behavior of violent black youth is a lost cause. Blacks will have to find white people and white authorities to blame. It’s the chains, doncha’ know, the chains.

At least the kid didn’t have to live in Ferguson for his short nine years on earth.

Were the four reputed gang members “unaccompanied”?

None of those three maggots will ever be of benefit to society. Why not just go ahead an exterminate them?

We’ve got to have all these judges pulling their salaries on the taxpayer’s back .... all the public defenders ... all the jurors that should be working .... police .... security .... food ... healthcare ..... prisons ... etc. Just exterminate them and save the money. These type creeps aren’t worth going broke over.

It happened a month ago and I just now hear about it. What could have been happening a month ago that would keep this out of the news. Oh, I don’t know. FERGUSON, MO!

Maybe Chicago should just outlaw guns or at least make them very hard to get and illegal to carry. With such a law these homicides would simply stop. Or so I’m told.

"Chicago’s youngest victim lost to gun violence"

It wasn't gun violence, it was gang violence.

Gangs of feral blacks, the product of 50 years of the Great Society. The product of Democrats and their fellow travelers.
