Andy sends us a link to a Fox News<\/a> article about how 13 people were shot in Chicago at about 10 pm last night. One victim was a three-year-old boy. I guess the most obvious question, beyond the gun control issue, is; why was there a three-year-old out on the streets of Chicago at 10 o’clock at night?<\/p>\n

A witness, Julian Harris, told the Chicago Sun-Times that dreadlocked men fired at him from a gray sedan before turning toward Cornell Square Park and firing at people in the area. He said his 3-year-old nephew was wounded in the cheek.<\/p>\n

“They hit the light pole next to me, but I ducked down and ran into the house,” he said. “They’ve been coming round here looking for people to shoot every night, just gang-banging stuff. It’s what they do.”<\/p>\n

Police spokesman Ron Gaines says victims are being interviewed to determine the circumstances of the shooting, adding no one had been taken into custody.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Since Chicago’s aim was to criminalize guns, I guess they got their wish – all of the criminals have guns.<\/p>\n

From the Chicago Sun Times<\/a>;<\/p>\n

The 3-year-old\u2019s uncle, Jerome \u201cJ Money\u201d Wood, a rapper who was affiliated with Def Jam artist Durk \u201cLil Durk\u201d Banks, was shot in the head and died on Sept. 2 in the 6600 block of South Rhodes in the Woodlawn neighborhood.<\/p>\n

Corey Brooks, pastor of New Beginnings Church on the South Side presided over Wood\u2019s funeral. He said he was called early Friday to again comfort the family at the hospital.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019re frustrated, upset and hurt and disappointed that this is just happening over and over and over in our community,\u201d Brooks said. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

But, yeah, what we need is better background checks to keep guns out of the hands of these criminals who will, of course, go to a Federal Firearms Licensed dealer before they transfer ownership of their weapons.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
