Very good posting! It reflects the upbringing you had and your understanding of why your family members are different from others who are related.

No doubt a welfare breeder. No father. No parental direction. No moral
authority.

The chicago media is full of it. These were bust-out ghetto trash gang-bangers
living in the sess pool of Chicago gangdom.

They are not victims. This is a manipulation to further Zer0’s anti-gun agenda.

I believe after the SECOND loss of a child, I’d damn well move somewhere else.

Depending on the reason for the loss, I’d move after the first.

You are fortunate to have had such role models as your parents. It is ashamed what your aunt has had to endure such pain but the lesson in contrast between the two families could not be any clearer!!

Years ago in my old hometown in SoCal, I recall the local fishwrap that did a Sunday paper 'Local' special section about a single mother who'd lost three children to 'gun violence'. Giant picture above the fold of a teary-eyed woman sitting in a darkened room illuminated by light coming from a slight opening in the curtains, the whole bit. How's she going to get by on what welfare pays in such a violent neighborhood? Whole article read like poetry, just chock full of schmaltz.

There was an accompanying editorial about the need to do something about guns, help 'at risk' children go to college and turn their lives around, and what we can all do to help, etc. You can probably guess.

My police officer friend in that city told me "Yeah, that woman is basically Ma Barker and raised a gang of drug criminals. The most recent dead one was about to get indicted for a gang slaying, but I guess the rival gang found him before our detectives did. By the way, that woman has relatives that were suspects in the murder of a police officer about 20 years ago but there wasn't enough evidence to pin anything on them. They ended up dying in prison while serving a sentence on other charges, so there's basically no case now."

This same city I grew up in was the city where a young black girl was shot to death in 1998 by policemen when they tried to wake her up as she slept in an idling car and didn't respond to commands. They broke her car window with a billy club and she woke up and pointed a gun at the officer nearest to her. The other cops just lit her up with 20-some rounds. The NAACP had a conniption fit and Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton organized a march through the city and got the blacks up in arms.

That girl who got shot to death was a member of another crime family in town. She had a relative who was the suspect in the shotgun murders of two city policemen in 1971, but he was finally acquitted of the crimes after key evidence was excluded from the trial. The police officers who shot the sleeping girl were all fired.

I went to high school with the daughter of one of the officers who was murdered in 1971. She was only two years old when he was slain.

I wouldn't go back to live in that rotten smoggy craphole of a city if you gave me a million dollars and made me mayor for life.

Ronnie Chambers, who was his mother Shirley’s youngest child, was shot in the head while sitting in a parked car on the city’s West Side. A 21-year-old man who was also in the car was wounded, police said.

Why do reasonably intelligent people keep proposing gun control as if it would solve the murder problem?

The immediate answer that conservatives frequently offer is that the left seeks to control the populace but I believe that real the answer is even more sinister.

Consider the following:

"He was given power to make war against the saints and to conquer them"

"Now when they have finished their testimony, the beast that comes up from the Abyss will attack them, and overpower and kill them."

"As I watched, this horn was waging war against the saints and defeating them"

"Then the dragon was enraged at the woman and went off to make war against the rest of her offspring--those who obey God's commandments and hold to the testimony of Jesus.Then the dragon was enraged at the woman and went off to make war against the rest of her offspring--those who obey God's commandments and hold to the testimony of Jesus."

These quotes from Daniel and Revelation all reference the SAME event; Satan's inevitable and successful attempt to finally eradicate Christians from the Earth.

This makes sense of the resolute yet irrational drive for gun control in our society. It also gives me pause.

That is a disturbing insight into some of the sheep. Life or death mean nothing.

Solution: move out of Chicago!

How many kids do you have to lose to Chicago thug-ism before you decide it’s time to leave?

The result of 40 plus years of Democrat created welfare that resulted in inner city slums and teaching people that the only way to have a better life is through crime. These entitlement programs do not create opportunity, incentive, or self worth. They only create a society that has learned the way to get “bling” is through crime.
