Two 16-year-old boys were killed, and three other people were wounded, in separate shootings within hours on the South Side.
One of the 16-year-olds, Nathaniel Gonzalez, was standing on the sidewalk in the 5900 block of South Laflin Street in the Englewood neighborhood when someone in a dark-colored car opened fire around 3:45 p.m. Thursday, authorities said.
Gonzalez, of the 4700 block of South Damen Avenue, pronounced dead at 4:30 p.m. Police had no other details.
Six hours later, two boys ages 16 and 17 were shot in an alley in the 7500 block of South Paulina Street in the Gresham neighborhood, police said. The 16-year-old died at the scene, and the 17-year-old boy was in critical condition at Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, police said.

Always amazing (to me) what the media deems as big news and what isn't. Random shootings (murders) such as these and in Aurora are both terrorist acts, whether domestic or otherwise. Yet, very likely this Chicago incident will only be briefly mentioned, if reported on at all nationally.
I guess it all comes down to what can be made to fit the agenda and what cannot.
There are no Tea Party people on the South Side of Chicago.
Therefore this actually never took place.
Probably for the same reason that local shootings all over the world don’t usually get national media coverage.
In order for something to hit the national news it needs to be outside the norm. Multiple shootings on the south side of Chicago haven’t been outside the norm in my life time. A spree shooting at a movie theater is.
Are the finding Tea Party/Limbaugh/Hannity/Palin literature in the homes of the perps in the South Side massacres?
The community was organized such that the young black males kill each other. The killings are evidence the plan implemented by Obama is working. The killings are a measure of the success of his plans and efforts
Has Bloomberg made his ‘demands’ yet?
