CWB ^

Posted on 04/06/2021 10:35:09 AM PDT by janetjanet998

A three-year-old boy is in critical condition after he was shot while riding in a car near Grant Park on Tuesday morning, police said.

Several witnesses reported seeing a man get out of a dark blue car and open fire during an altercation in the traffic lanes of Lake Shore Drive around 11:07 a.m. Shell casings were found on Lake Shore Drive just north of Roosevelt.

One round struck the boy in the right temple, according to a CPD statement.

Poor kid. May God help him.

This is the gun violence in Chicago that Dems hypocritically remain silent about. Not part of their devious narrative.

What are the odds that the shooter will be arrested by Chicago police, be tried and convicted and sentenced to prison?

While many view these events in terms of politics or political identity, I am truly heartbroken for the children who are going to pay a real price in mental and physical harm for this insanity.

ChiTown needs to get busy and pass some gun laws.

Surely not North of Roosevelt and LSD. That is N/S boarder between S. Chirac and the the virus empty downtown office buildings full of nothing.

There are not insignificant chunks of urban America that are essentially failed states. It may be the most ignored story in the history of journalism.

We no longer take certain expressways in Chicago for fear of being shot. It’s all out warfare on the expressways now.

For example when driving from the north side of the city to Indiana, take I294. Do not take any other expressway route.

If you google "3 year old shot - Chicago" you'll get multiple stories about different 3 year olds shot in Chicago. Typical democrat hellholes - they shoot their children. Is that creepy lowlife sh(t or what?

When I see my brothers in TN, I usually skip the entire Milwaukee and Chicago metro areas and go through Rockford instead. Save on tolls too. It only adds about 30 minutes to the trip starting out near Green Bay WI.

I'll be going on Memorial Day weekend, and that's when the Chauvin verdict will drop and the riots will start.

How about one in a couple of million. The odds go even higher if it's black on black.

It is Chicago and I don’t know anything about it.

When I used your link to the map I thought of the line in the Blues Brothers about looking up their record.

“That license plate is like a rash all over the computer.”

See #9.

Agreed. However, in this case the news could very well fall under the category of False Flags. Commie-La just landed Chicago Midway just shy of 2 PM Eastern. The afterthought in the headline, “Police Say”, smells like it is intended to inflame.

Then, there are shootings every day in Chicago that don’t make the news. Why this one? Is it because it’s a 3 yo? I’ll submit that 1-yo’s 2 yo’s 3 yo’s etc are murdered, if not daily, then weekly.

YMMV.

Ooops, re-reading the previously too-quickly read article.

Said 3-yo was NOT killed. Injured, sad, yes.

Note for later today: monitor Commie-La for this “news” (aka, FF) to be mentioned in whatever blabber comes out of her big wide mouth.

No they won’t. They are going to use this kind of tragedies to disarm law biding citizens

I’ve driven there so many times in my life and I never thought about getting shot while in my car. The cities are crumbling, because our society is crumbling.

She will probably laugh about it. I have never seen a politician like her who manages to laugh inappropriately about serious subjects.

It leads one to conclude that she lacks “gravitas” in the words of Sam Donaldson.

The failure of our inner-cities where many have turned into war-zones is a blight on our nation and it primarily exists because of “politics”. It is proof positive that the left will sacrifice anything, including children, to maintain power.

"It is proof positive that the left will sacrifice anything, including children, to maintain power."

Which explains the mass murder in the 20th century.

Thank you for the Jackass links.

I think the falling red man with his arms outward reminds me of the design on the yellow “Wet Floor” plastic signs they put on building floors. An old buddy thought that looked more like someone break dancing when they came out in the 80s.
