4 shooting suspects arrested during wild funeral procession from city (Chicago)
Chicago Sun-Times ^ | 12/5/2017 | Matthew Hendrickson

Charges are pending against four people arrested Tuesday afternoon during a funeral procession from Chicago to a cemetery in west suburban Hillside.

Forest Park police alerted authorities in Hillside about the rowdy procession as the group headed toward Oakridge Cemetery, 4301 Roosevelt Road, according to Hillside Police Chief Joseph Lukaszek.

The procession was “total chaos,” Lukaszek said. Passengers were hanging out of the vehicles’ windows and driving in and out of traffic as they headed toward the cemetery.

One of the vehicles in the procession was identified as having been involved in multiple shootings earlier Tuesday in Chicago, including one in front of a church, Lukaszek said.

Police stopped the vehicle “with force” at Mannheim and Harrison roads in Hillside after a passenger inside showed a weapon.

Lukaszek said he used his SUV to ram the vehicle in order to end a short pursuit. A foot chase followed, and three men and a woman — all in their 20s — were taken into custody and are awaiting charges.

Inside the vehicle, investigators found three handguns with high-capacity magazines and high-impact ammunition, Lukaszek said in a statement. Between the four taken into custody, they had been arrested more than 160 times.

Lukaszek said the shootings and general mayhem displayed during the funeral procession were believed to be gang related. Problems with funeral processions from Chicago occur on a “nearly weekly” basis in the suburbs, he said.

Chicago police notify suburban police when a rowdy procession is heading their way?

If they are out of control, can’t Chicago police act if traffic violations or other laws are broken? Instead they let suburban cops arrest them when they arrive in the suburban cops jurisdiction????

There must be something missing from this story.

"Between the four taken into custody, they had been arrested more than 160 times."

I don't know what happened with all the "3 strikes" laws but there certainly should be some rapidly escalating penalties for people who are convicted of more than a few crimes.... i.e., once someone proves to be a serial offender who never does "get it together" it should be more feasible to put them away for longer and longer prison terms. The idea that these thugs should go back out on the streets after dozens and dozens of crimes is simply outrageous.

What should Chicago expect when the catch and release these 4 hoodlums 160 times.

Frankly, we should be seeing more killings in Chicago.

It could be the case that the 160+ arrests resulted in fewer than 3 convictions per person.
