Honestly, she got far more money than needed for any funeral short of that of a pharaoh, so she might as well spend it as she wants.

“bullet proof”?

...that’s what I was wondering. Let her buy what she wants. That lack of conscience knows no bounds.

They can shoot your ass down while you’re driving a car too, lady. If they want you dead, a spiffy midsize sedan doesn’t count as body armor.

I don’t blame her. If I were her I’d take it a few steps further. Buy a car, get in the car, drive the hell out of Chicago and never look back!

Perhaps she could establish a “go fund me” account for the under privileged with the surplus. I have found there is a certain segment of society who refuse to extend a helping hand to those in need, even though they themselves have benefited from the generosity of others.

New wheels? On social networking telling people to give you money? Oh yeah, she painted a BIG RED TARGET on her back. If they’ll kill a child, they’ll have no qualms killing another Chaquela for a few greenbacks. She’ll be dead in 30 days methinks.

Perfect timing for a joke I received today in email.

HOMESICK SNOWBIRD GETS HELP!

In Scottsdale, AZ. the other day, there was a bumper sticker on a parked car that read: "I miss Chicago."

Someone broke the window, stole the radio, shot out all four tires, added an Obama bumper sticker, and left a note that read:

"Hope this helps!"

The morals of a Democrat city in a nutshell. The common goal in that corrupt culture is getting Other People’s Money to benefit yourself.

Fair enough. It would be a better thing to do, but still I don’t understand the outrage at her buying a car.

I don’t get the outrage either. She buried her son and had money left over. Tacky perhaps to collect more than you need, but it doesn’t seem dishonest as she raised way over the target number.

A Chrysler 200 is hardly the kind of car for the ghetto.

The car and the money will be all gone inside of 6 months. A year max. It’s always the way.

What’s the problem here? As long as it wasn’t a luxury car, and she saves some money for routine maintenance, it’s probably a wise move.

She helped a car dealer?...

Wait. A black kid gets shot by a black thug in Chicago? That’s crazy.
