  • 8 kids shot, 1 killed
  • 5 adults killed

Chicago Police Superintendent Brown said the children were not direct targets but were caught in the crossfire of criminal activity, with two bullets flying into the 4-year-old boy’s home while he was getting a haircut, hitting him in the head. I'm not trying to vilify the victim, but these innocent young children should not be the byproduct of your criminal behavior. This is directly to the offenders who are being targeted: You know the life you lead, you know that you're being targeted, or that you've done something to cause this retribution from some rival gang or some rival person. Why are you continuing to be around young people, our children?"

The police did not appear to kill anyone.

You know maybe we are going a this the wrong way. Since the vast majority of injuries and deaths as to non combatants due to I imagine bad aim on the part of the gangs maybe the answer is easy. Marksmanship training for the gangbangers. Teach them to aim and hit what they are aiming at. I foresee employment opportunities for ex-Military sharpshooter's and ammunition sales galore. Imagine the bids for the contracts to provide this. The Gangbangers could get medals and everything. Of course this would have to be carefully monitored to make sure no two gangs who were at war were slotted together at the same range but that should be easy. And if it works, Nationwide here we come.

Chicago's gangs musta been playing double-headers back then. It's nice that even losers can be winners.

I'm not sure how Columbus Oh.is with city laws, and such, but I know for a long time, and I do believe still, according to Ohioan's For Conceal led Carry, Toledo had a very unfriendly gun mayor, and several council members as well, so because of some regulation regarding "cheap guns" being sold, made it almost impossible for lower income households to by firearms. It was on a price point, not quality, so you had no choice but to drop $500, or more on a handgun. Now there are a few under that, I have a little S&W snub nose .38spl. I carry, and they only go for about $450 after tax. But the law was clearly Unconstitutional, and prejudice, so I'm not sure if it even exist. Columbus is our Capitol, but surrounded my rural areas, farm land, State parks, and the Sasquatch triangle, which includes the State park at Salt Fork. All this coming to a slow point, that it is surrounded by hunting land, and has a shit ton of deer hunters. But I would guess only a small portion in the city limits, and suburbs of Columbus.

I'm just glad Cleveland wasn't in the short list.

I don't know who this Brandon character is but, for the sake of Chicago, let's all hope no pictures surface of him wearing a dress or any claim that his grandparents survived the Holocaust.
