I understand that, it’s simply mind blowing that they can perpetuate this and find more people to shoot.

It’s amazing how little the usual social justice warriors care about these stories.

Hey Obama-mess and POTUS44:

How is your MENTOR Bill Ayers doing?

Maybe when you go to Virginia you can explain how your mentor got off the FBI Ten Most Wanted List

Does that mean that your TELEPROMPTER needs to come out of MOTHBALL?

An unintended target of a drive-by in Rogers Park, Cynthia Trevillion was killed by a stray bullet Friday night while she waited for a train at the CTA Morse stop.

Here's the write-up on Trevilion's murder. It's different from most.

Badly needed range time .

I don't know, I think this weekend Chicago over-achieved. The rule of thumb is that only 1 in 6 people shot (with a handgun) die. So for 23 shot, you'd expect 3.8 (call it 4) fatalities. Of course, there are weekends when Chicago under-performs on the lethal scale too - it all averages out in the end. The math nerd in me wants to know what the actual mean and standard deviation are for Chicago, seasonal variations and patterns...but not enough to bother actually going and looking this stuff up.

Not in the news because no Whitey around to blame.

Cynthia and Simone are collateral damage and don’t count and no reason for uproar.

The shooter’s mission was accomplished...... that’s the important takeaway

NFL kneelers should spend time with the Chicago teens, maybe they won’t feel so oppressed to the point of violence and murder.

“The funeral business in Chicago must be thriving. Florist shops too?”

Yes, but all this killing has “spurred” a new wave of procreation in the “Black Welfare Mothers United” group. The problem is almost as bad as it is for the “42 Virgins Creation Society” in Islam. Actually neither is at all funny, but it is sadly true. Just what is wrong with an ethnic group that produces cannon fodder instead of decent offspring. You have to feel sorry for a Black child born today, whose lifespan is nowhere near that of the bulk of society.

“was killed by a stray bullet”

The notion of a “stray bullet” is just stupid. Each and every bullet knows exactly where it’s going the minute it leaves the barrel They are not like “homing torpedoes” just wandering around looking for something to hit.
