Very interesting sentence buried deep in the story.

“Detectives were able to track down the suspects despite lack of cooperation from Khalise’s family in identifying the shooters, an official said today.”

I guess they did not want to give O’Reilly and the other Crackas something bad about the africanmerican community.

Or afraid for their daughter, themselves and their other children.

O’Reilly had on a local black female politician on who was publicly spouting the view by some locals that the police were shooting some of these young children. Bill chided her for even voicing such a ridiculous urban legend.

Her response was. she's just reporting what she is hearing in the hood. Her explanation for the growth of the rumor is that only 30% of murders in Chicago are solved. As though law enforcement complicity is the only reasonable explanation for a large number of unsolved crimes.

Of course the logical explanation is that no one in the hood will turn anyone in or cooperative with law enforcement. Even if it's your 4 year old relative who is shot.

I wrote about this before but one morning, I was listening to the radio and a white male called in to discuss his AA coworker who had been robbed at gunpoint by another AA. The coworker knew the name and address of the criminal but refused to even report it as he ‘didn’t want another brother to go to jail’. Lord knows how much more crime is being committed against the AA community and not reported. Are they reaping what they sow?

When will this end and how? Never and not well, I am guessing. And they need to stop with the stupid, made up names. When I make a call to a customer service number and get a Laqueesha or a Lavontray on the phone, I say, “Sorry, wrong number” and hang up and try again.

The grandfather of this kid was complaining about “all the killin’ and now how it's now going to be like the OK Coral in Chicago with concealed carry. Well, duh, one has nothing to do with the other...yet these backward, reality-denying fools continue to place the blame on everyone and everything else, rather than cooperating with the Police, etc., to list just ONE thing these people can do to turn their culture around and join up with the rest of the civilized society. Too lazy, too ignorant and lovin’ it, too concerned with if it feels good, do it, too interested in what's in it for them..always on the take, never a contributor for the good, but rather for just THEM, no matter what the cost or loss involved. Shot up kids in Chicago..they’re a dime a dozen. The sperm donors and the leg spreaders make these babies, and use them for THEIR needs, and when these kids get shot/killed by the scum thugs, (the thugs the “parents, grandparents” refuse to identify), they just make another one of these kids, and the beat goes on. The children suffer and the rest of the players in this scenario move on. The family of these children will milk the media for sympathy and money, and 15 minutes of fame for themselves in the process, and nothing changes in the thug world in Chicago.
