I’m surprised President Soetoro hasn’t politicized this yet.

Must be off skeet shooting.

“I’m surprised President Soetoro hasn’t politicized this yet.”

His press is doing it for him.

Reduced to “political capital” by every Democrat and RINO — and more than half of American voters.

Will the media shine a spotlight on the large number of murders in Chicago now? I’m guessing they won’t, because they don’t want to say or do anything that might reflect badly on their guy, Obama.

If she was armed, may be she would have been able to resist her attacker. Stay loaded, my friends.

What difference... does it make?

Chicago? Benghazi? They are dead... and we all know the GOP gun nuts are at fault!

MSM will continue to ignore Chicago violence because to do otherwise makes zero look bad.

Thus condemning to death, even more of their youth.

Instead they would rather focus on ammo clip size, than deviant behavior.

This is such a tragedy on so many levels. What a beautiful, promising young lady. Another innocent lost to some feral animal. The youth are the scariest, they just plain don’t give a damn. My prayers offered to her family and friends. How I wish there was more. Makes me sad...but makes me angrier than ever.
