Let’s hold a candlelight vigil and then go back to business as usual— nothing changes.

Surely it is somehow the fault of the rich white population (if you are white, you are necessarily “rich” and deserve to be ripped off and mistreated) all over the country that these kids are killing each other

Do police officers in Chicago get combat pay or hazardous duty pay ??? Life insurance must be incredibly expensive for folks working downtown . Rahm must be very proud of his city where the people would be much safer in Kabul Afganistan than Chitown . I Know ,,,,,, It’s Bush’s fault .

If there were any single group of Americans that should be demanding the right of self-defense by way of the Second Amendment, it should be law abiding Black Americans living in these liberal social engineering cesspools like Chicago. The left has had great success convincing Black Americans to eradicate themselves and not lift a finger to resist but instead jump on false demons like “white” Hispanics trying to defend themselves. Paradise is always just around the corner, in the next government check, next government law and next demonstration.

13 year old killed at a party, not at his own house, at 1:20 in the morning and his only supervision is a teenage sister ?

Hey Tribune...hello, McFly ?

Chicago clearly needs a good community organizer.Perhaps after next January they’ll get one...that is if a certain someone doesn’t move to Martha’s Vineyard or Malibu instead.

Slow night by Chitown summer weekend standards.

Supposed to be really hot next weekend, plus with the holiday, they’ll get back up to “normal”

Do you think there's a chance that Eric Holder and his DOJ minions are 'walking' guns to our urban yutes as well?

“(Rahm Emanuel as nazi Ernst Röhm)”

Interesting comparison...both homos...but at least Röhm looked tougher with his duelling scars and SA uniform than Rahm ever did wearing his ballerina tutu outfit.

It's not the cops that are in combat. No hazard duty pay necessary to write the reports and cart away the bodies after the fact.

When seconds count the police are only minutes away!

It’s also hard when the investigators trying to find the murderer are stonewalled by the witnesses.

I think they prefer to use street justus if you know what I mean.
