Shooting victim heads to DC February 12, 2013 04:46 PM EST
A 17-year-old girl injured in a drive-by shooting prepared to head to Washington, D.C. with U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz for President Obama's State of the Union address.
On April 17, 2012, Megan Hobson was injured in a drive-by shooting when her sister's car was riddled with bullets.
"I laid across the back seat. With me laying across the back seat, I had been hit with an AK-47 rifle," she said. "The bullet penetrated through my hip. It went through the bumper, the trunk, and the back seat."
Hobson is accompanying Wasserman Schultz to the president's address Tuesday. She hopes her appearance helps put a stop to gun violence.
"Something can be done and something needs to be done," Hobson said. "This has affected me. This has affected my family and my friends, so I know it is affecting a lot of other peoples' family and friends that this happens to."
"It's absolutely essential that we put a face on gun violence beyond tragedies like Newtown and Aurora and Tucson because this is a common, every day occurrence," said Wasserman Schultz.

More political capital for Hussein.
Another “Cryer for hire.”
“Hobson is accompanying Wasserman Schultz to the president’s address Tuesday. She hopes her appearance helps put a stop to gun violence.”
I guess Hobson is pretty stupid then. Too stupid to realize that the gang culture, thug worship, and inability of black people to understand this daunting concept that “snitching” on murderers is a GOOD thing is what is making where she lives such a hole.
But hey, free trip to D.C. and some TV time, all you have to do is grin on cue.
Still no mention that “gangbangers”, not firearms, might be the real problem.
Interesting that the rifle went through the bumper etc...
When you put a face on gun violence, that face looks a lot like Obama's hypothetical son. The face on drive by shootings, like this one, are almost exclusively urban males 15-25.
So since these shooting already have a face, how about we put cuffs on them instead.
And what are they going to do with them once they're there?
A most unfortunate headline.
Needs watering twice a week.

A cryer for hire. A free trip to DC and all you have to do is follow the script.
