Now it must be noted that Chicago has a GUN BAN, and citizens canot defend themselves, except for Dick Daley, who has a 24/7 police bodyguard detail. It's a crying shame that Ms. Hudson didn't move her family out of this crime and drug infested stinking sewer of a city as soon as she could afford to.
Ms. Hudson is reportedly flying back to Chicago from Tampa. I hope that Daley has the guts and compassion to provide armed proteciton for her like he does for himself and his family.
Sorry to hear that she seems like a kind person.
My prayers go out to Ms. Hudson and her family. From what I’ve seen of her in the media, she appears to be a young woman of great faith. She will need it now more than ever.
How very sad. My condolences to Jennifer and her family.
They said a child was abducted from the home and is being held for ransom.
Prayers needed!
My apologies for the dupe, searched on HUDSON and didn’t get any posts.
No problem, VP. A title search on “Hudson” doesn’t bring up either of these articles strangely enough. The search function on FR is fairly well hosed, causing most of the duplicate threads we see. *sigh*
Prayers for Jennifer Hudson. She is a huge, huge talent.
Prayers for her and her family.
Very sad. My condolences for Ms. Hudson.

Never heard of her.
She was in the top 10 finalists on American Idol a few years back. Has more raw, God-given talent in her pinky finger than the others had all around. I do believe she is a person of strong faith. She has gone on to make a solid music and acting career for herself, which I think is wonderful.
Prayers going up in this unimaginable time of grief for her.
Who? Never heard of her.
Is it really news when another human being gets murdered in Chicago ???
