Time for the U.N. to get involved. A peacekeeping force from a place like Somalia would do the trick.

It’s a beautiful day in this neighborhood,
A beautiful day for a neighbor.
Would you be mine?
Could you be mine?...

Nothing like having gangbanging neighbors.
Living close to your drug dealer is important in Chicago.

I don’t get it. Illinois has the strictest gun laws in the country. Why aren’t the gangsters and hoodlums obeying the LAW?

They should make the gun laws even stricter to stop the killing.

Been to Boston many times. Mostly for Red Sox games. I usually get in early and explore the city. Never really felt threaded.

On a Google map search, there's a "Bad Boys Sub & Fish" place next to the "fried chicken king" of Harold's Kitchen Shack and across the street is a hair-braiding establishment. Seems like the place.

I can see the coverage now by Lying Lost and Jorge Suckalotapuss on ABC -

Suckalotapuss: We have learned from defamed sources that are not supposed to talk with us that the massacre suspect is named Toofurious Shabazz Holmes. We will continue to try and confirm this information with more corrupt civil servants who are not authorized to talk to us about this ongoing investigation. Wait... I understand my esteemed comrade Lying Lost may have some more information for us.... Lying, what have you learned?

Lost: Jorge... Jorge - we have uncovered some new information that might be important regarding this horrific act of terrorism.

Suckalotapuss: Let’s go to Lying Lost for some new information.

Lost: There is a Toofurious Shabazz Holmes that is listed as a member of the Tea Party in Illinois. Now we don’t know for sure if this is the same Toofurious Shabazz Holmes, but we are working to confirm that a Tea Party terrorists could have committed this horrific crime.

Suckalotapuss: Wow! That’s quite a coincidence Lying. We will continue to work to confirm if a this murderer could be a member of the Tea Party in Illinois. That is fascinating Lying!

19 in an eight hour stretch.

Some things to ponder.

1) Does it fit the definition of self-genocide?

2) Does anyone have any illusions that this will never change?

3) Is anyone getting a purple heart?
