If only this city had a certain Community Activist back in town.....

If only this city had a certain Community Activist back in town.....

THAT, sir, I can pray for!

[Perdogg]

I say TS again. They made their bed, they have to lay in it.

[fwdude]

...a minister at the services tweeting afterward, "This is Crazy."

You've made your barbaric bed, "revrund," now own it!

[E. Pluribus Unum]

If only Chicago had a gun-control law, all this bloodshed could be avoided.

[dfwgator]

I wonder if they got to know their lord and savior, Barack Obama, before they died?

[ScottinVA]

Quite a lasting legacy of success for Barry the O’s community organizing efforts, no?

Now he’s doing “for” America what he did “for” Chicago.

[Eaker]

Chaos about 500 people here.

Why would 500 people go to a POS gangbanger's funeral?

That is what I find to be crazy.

[TexasCajun]

Let me be clear. ...Uhh, Uhh, If I had a son...

[who knows what evil?]

They voted for ‘more of the same’, Pastor Brooks.

[himno hero]

It reminds me of that lawyer joke’s punchline.

two down? .... its a great start.

Its kinda a slow way to clean up the crime, two at a time, but you have to start somewhere.

[DemforBush]

I’m not surprised, because this has happened before. Heck, it was a scene in the movie Colors, way back in 1988. Still, what a time we live in. Even Capone and the other Mafia types back in the day acted with more restraint at a gangster’s funeral.

Of course, most of them wouldn’t dream of shooting a cop or a newspaperman (except the very dirty Jake Lingle, who got what he deserved), either.

[rawcatslyentist]

>(Pastor says) 'Please pray for Chicago'

Just reaping what Rev Wright sowed.

[NonValueAdded]

Reverend, your chickens have come home to roost.

[I want the USA back]

Wondering who’s going to pay for the funerals.

(the non-0bmama voters)

[tflabo]

Some murderous cretins are earning their prime one way tickets to hell.

I parts of South America, when crime got too obnoxious, there was something of a tradition of business owners and shopkeepers creating a fund that was used to hire tough guys, off duty police, former military, etc.

Their job was to round up, then dispose of criminals, no questions asked. Typically they would take them out to some rural place, execute them, then bury them.

Importantly, this technique was statistically effective, because such criminals are oriented to their turf, so when some were eliminated from a particular area, it was a long time before they were replaced.

This meant that the exterminators did not make a heavy footprint in a typical neighborhood before moving on, so were usually able to take down large numbers of criminals before their activities were even detected, much less stopping them.

And since some off duty policemen were involved, if there were police suspicions, then they would find out about it, and cool it for a while to let things settle down.

Practically speaking, there is no reason that this couldn’t work in a place like Chicago, where there are so many homicides that nobody would care much about disappearances.

[Tupelo]

This raises a question (**querstion) in my mind. Since these two killings happened in a necropolis, do they count as homicides in Chicago?

** Ebonics

[detective]

If Obama had a son, that is what he would be like.

[tomkat]

In these depressing, anarchic times, it's nice to hear some good news on occasion .. thanks !

[AppyPappy]

You can complain all you want but don’t be snitchin’ Rev. You wouldn’t want to risk doing anything about the problem.
