Girl ‘hitta’ killed for gang until she was gunned down
Chicago Sun-Times ^ | 07 june 2014

Posted on 06/07/2014 4:53:27 AM PDT by rellimpank

Long before Gakirah Barnes was murdered in a hail of bullets on the South Side, her mother had heard the unsettling, persistent rumors about her.

Her 17-year-old daughter — the same 5-foot-3, 128 pound girl once seen as shy at school — was known for something almost unheard of on the streets of Chicago.

There are teenage girls who are accomplices in gang murders.

There are girls who hide gang guns for their boyfriends.

But Barnes was believed to be a “hitta” — a female assassin for a faction of the Gangster Disciples, law enforcement sources say.

I was living in Galesburg, IL, which isn’t exactly Southside, and every now and then on the public access cable channel I would catch the broadcast of the town council meetings. I mostly tuned in to see the batshit crazy stuff the lone black Alderman had to say. The guy represented the “rough” part of town (can’t say the “wrong side of the tracks” as the town had tracks radiating out from it like spokes on a wheel). It truly was a monthly comedy routine.

Well in the paper there was a report of gunfire in that part of town and a house had taken a bullet, and it turned out that the house that was shot at was this Alderman’s (reminder: The guy is black).

Right there in front of God and everyone this Alderman exclaimed in the Town Council session, “NIGGER SHOT MAH HOUSE!”

There were all these gasps and righteous indignation from the rest of the lilly white Council, and he was reprimanded for his language, but still... the fact remained that some... person... shot a gun at this guy’s house and he was pissed.

“There are girls who hide gang guns for their boyfriends.”

Also referred to as gun control in Chicago.

Black crime is rooted in racism and poverty. Special treatment and money are the best methods to combat this crime. /s

“Seems even her own gang wanted her gone because she was such a lightning rod,”

When she departed she didn't leave a vacancy.

“There are girls who hide gang guns for their boyfriends.”

Gang members also have their girlfriends (the ones with no criminal records) buy guns for them. This points out the futility of the whole "background check" process. If a guy's too dangerous to be allowed to buy a gun, then he shouldn't be loose on the street in the first place.

Sounds like obama with not knowing what is going on. All this is, is the thug culture that they live by. Not going to change until they get out of the cess pool that was created by the Demonkrats.

Sometimes I think they take scrabble tiles and just throw them on the floor and use whatever comes up.

These are NOT African names. They are gibberish.

Life and death in the Democrat nirvana known as Chicago, which has had only Democrat mayors since 1931. It’s Detroit with nicer architecture.

Funny how black leaders never talk about the corrosive influence rap music has had in the black culture over the last 20+ years.

Rap videos, rap stars, “gangstas” “hittas” “niggaz”—these are all role models today for blacks.

Baby daddies are the norm; black abortion rate is 7 out of 10. Single moms are 70% of black households.

Jesse and Al and the rest of the race pimps are silent in the face of the complete collapse of the black family.

Hey, if you can shake down Whitey for your own mistakes, it’s a good living.

A guy I know had to do just this... Right out of the military, he got into a fight and wound up with a felonious assault on his record. That was more than 30 years ago. His wife owns a couple of shotguns for home protection.

Having viewed the pictures, I seriously doubt she had a boyfriend....she was clearly the ‘boy’ in any of her relationships.

This is what happens when babies are brought into this world only for the welfare benefits.

At one time I might have wept for this girl and her mother. Not anymore.

I was working with juvenile delinquents one day the mother of a run away approached me to help find her daughter.

I asked how long she was missing the mother said 3 months.

I asked the mother why she wanted her back now.

The mother said she heard her daughter won 2000 dollars at the local bingo hall.

The mother wanted what she thought was her share.

Yep. The only pity I feel in this case is for the undertaker.

‘Gakirah’ sounds like an enemy of Godzilla.

King Ghidorah?

Gamera?

Kukamonga?
