CHICAGO (WLS) -- Two women who worked as peacekeepers on Chicago's South Side were shot and killed in the neighborhood they worked to protect.

Chantel Grant, 26, and Andrea Stoudemire, 36, were both mothers of four children who worked with other moms to stem violence in the Englewood neighborhood.

Both women were hit by gunfire at the corner of W. 75th Street and S. Stewart Ave. that is often occupied by members of the group Mothers Against Senseless Killings. The group hoped their constant presence at the corner would help break the cycle of violence.

It is horrific, may they RIP.

[Amberdawn]

There are a few.

Very sad story; these corners are drug marketplaces, and they don’t tolerate interference in that business well.

[infool7]

May God have Mercy on them and

their now motherless families.

Fair Warning:

The streets of Chicago or

those of any big city for that matter

are not impressed that you came

unarmed and defenseless but

the sentiment is certainly appreciated

however

there will be no mercy for passifists and

no quarter will be given.

This is how the Left treats the good folks who are tired of all the crime and corruption...

Thanks for saying that. This is an incredibly sad story. It's hard enough being the mother of 4 kids. Having to pull guard duty to try to protect them makes it all the harder.

I'm not surprised you think that, I answered your questions but I suspected you already had made your mind up.

From a nihilistic point of view, such as the one you appear to have, very little human action has a purpose, except that centered on ones self.

Many people don't share that viewpoint.

Do you also apply your way of thinking to the brave members of our military who gave up their lives in service to our nation?

I hope not.

Not to put to fine a point on it, I didn’t ask you anything.

But thanks for playing.

[freeandfreezing]

Actually that's a dull point. You posted a question in a public forum. If you didn't want to ask the question to all of the readers then you should have used the mail feature. That's why it exists.

But I get it, you didn't really want an answer to your question.

[Freedom4US]

Don’t go away mad, though by all means, please go away. I didn’t ask your opinion. This should not be difficult to comprehend.

[Magnum44]

Maybe they should have joined a different kind of women's group...
