Girl ‘hitta’ killed for gang until she was gunned down

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.

--one of Obama's "daughters"--??

Her mother didn’t know it until she read it in the paper. Really.

Hitta? Struck out!

Surplus to requirements when you have Aldermen tipping off gangs to police raids and interfering with prosecutions.

[AppyPappy]

At least she was working.

“Gakirah” I love Amish names. Such a nice ring to it.

[ConservativeInPA]

Such a fine culture.

[sport]

In Chicago, the Aldermen/women are probably gang members.

—yeah—just like the VA “scandal”—or the IRS situation , etc.,—

If they are "shocked, shocked" they must not get HBO in Chicago.

? “Read it in the paper” ? Are we sure she didn’t find out from the TV like the lyin’king finds out all his news? :>}

Trayvon's sister even had a hoodie similar to his.

“Her mother didn’t know it until she read it in the paper. Really.”

Her mother probably wouldn’t give her the time of day. Welfare bastards are bred to enrich the sows/queens; they care nothing for the bastards themselves.

I was shocked at the honesty of the “Precious” movie in showing just how disfunctional and evil the ghetto denizens really are...

[Dallas59]

She did this because of despair, racism, and white privilege./s

[DaveA37]

Live by the sword, die by the sword............she did!

[b4its2late]

Could’ve been.

The mother would have known she did not have a good daughter, but I don’t think any parents thinks their kids are hit specialists for gangs.

...Barnes was in the eighth grade when she entered the South Side charter school in the fall of 2010. In her first month, she was suspended for being disrespectful, Assistant Principal Tiffany Harston said.

But that was the end of it. She didn’t get into fights at school. When math class frustrated her, she’d leave, but only to look for help.

“I told her our goal was that she would receive a quality education and go to college,” Harston said.

Barnes was shy — even timid, Harston recalled....

Yeah, that sure sounds like shy, timid kid behavior to me. /s

“Gakirah” I love Amish names. Such a nice ring to it.

And spelled backwards, its "Harikag", which sounds just as close to a real name.

[Olog-hai]

By extension, that implies “Deadfish” Rahmbo also has such ties. (Aside from the nickname I just mentioned.)
