Shot by one of the ruthless Sons of Obama?

Barry commented publicly on the inter-racial Treyvon Martin shooting yet he remains silent on the larger threat to African-Americans, black on black crime.

What is the story here? That she was murdered or that she attended King Barry’s coronation?

That there were over 500 murders in Chicago last year yet none of them warranted his attention. He didn't take on "gun violence" until there was a school shooting in the northeast AFTER the election.

Even with Chicago's tough gun restrictions, gangstas still do things The Chicago Way.

Maybe now that someone put on a pedestal in Obama's celebration has fallen, maybe NOW some attention will be focused on Chicago's shameful display of violence that is considered "commonplace". The solutions touted by this administration do not work. Obama isn't concerned with limiting gun violence, he seeks limiting access to guns.

This tragedy will get no play compared to that worthless grifter Tray-von

She looks a lot like Obama’s daughter
but His daughter would NEVER attend a Chi-town public school would she?

tho’ during the campaign, the Mooch did say she and Barry were “raising their kids with (Chicago) southside values”.
Now no one exackly asked Mooch what are those values she spoke of?

Duck, cover, and pray?

from the article
"According to reports, Pendleton was among 12 teenagers who had taken shelter from the rain under a canopy in Vivian Gordon Harsh Park. An unidentified gunman then jumped the park's fence and allegedly opened fire. In addition to Pendleton, who later died from her wounds, a teenage boy was shot and is currently in serious condition at the hospital."

She was in a PUBLIC park, among 12 others, seeking shelter from rain. How can you be sure she was hanging with gang members?

Hadiya was hanging out with her volleyball team at Harsh Park after taking exams Tuesday afternoon. About a dozen teens had taken shelter under a canopy during a rainstorm when a boy or man jumped a fence in the park, ran toward them and opened fire around 2:20 p.m., police said.

and furthermore
from Wikipedia

she was at a bus stop in a nice neighborhood

Do you think you (or a family member) ever waited to catch a bus or train at a bus stop or metro station where some of the people around yuo were bangers or other degenerates, and therefore you deserved to become a crime victim for the company you keep?

If your honor kid rides a school bus,goes to a concert, drives through a neighborhood on the way to somewhere, or goes to a movie, or mall, or amusement park .... do you think there might be other kids in the vicinity who are targets of thugs?

‘Bam posed with a kid making a gang banger/rapper gun sign, and hosts rappers who court and pimp their “art” to kids at the WH and his fund raisers regularly

Shame on him for playing to this, and shame on Michelle for acting like this street culture has values she shares

The shooting occurred about a mile from Obama's Kenwood home, but Emanuel said the circumstances do not carry symbolic significance.

The story is meant to incline the reader to be against guns. Good kid caught in the crossfire, it appears.

This is very sad, but its a cultural problem, not a weapon access problem. My dad and one of his brothers were teachers and principals on the south side for decades, and forty years ago there was a shooting a week in any given neighborhood. So when I hear the stats, I say to myself, that seems low. As bad as it is, I’m guessing the problem is worse than what’s being reported. This would be to make it easier to avoid the cultural issue and blame it on a politically “useful” issue like guns, rather than deal with the horribly destructive consequences of JJ and his ilk pushing failure as a way if life for the last 40 years.

There is a national “no bullying homosexuals and crossdressers” program in schools yet there is no such national “don’t bully ‘brains’ and ‘preps’” campaign.

Why aren’t those “This Is A Gun Free Zone” posters working? Do they have to be multilingual? /sarc

Mass killings in the U.S. peaked in 1929 and Chicago was at its core. But there was no 24hr news cycle back then so the left found such tragedies harder to exploit.
