From the article: “ Several of the teens with her at the time, however, were believed to be gang members.”

The ironic thing is that, you do not hear about these shootings that are going on in Chicago in regards to the issue of “gun control”. But when it is a suburb such as Newtown, CT, low and behold the “gun grabbers” go CRAZY.

I would say this is a case that the perpetrators of this incident were not aware of the existing gun laws. It would help if more people read the law, and kept the law. Like crossing the border into the USA without going through a U.S. Immigration agent and showing a visa. But hey, THERE ARE REWARDS in this system, to just cruise on.... Chicago, a very safe place, just ask the Prez, he came from there, and made it was it is today, a composite of all of his great ideals.

"Police said Pendleton had no gang affiliation and likely wasn’t the intended target. Several of the teens with her at the time, however, were believed to be gang members."

Quite obviously she did indeed have gang affiliations, and in so doing, made herself an intended target.

Meanwhile, ballerina Emmanuel runs his mouth about gun control. Maybe he should do something about crime in his own city.

Damned shame. Maybe they should have some sort of gun control or something.

So, she had no gang affiliation, other than the people that she was WITH when she was SHOT?

Sometimes I wonder if reporters read what they write.

Just being picky, maybe, but the term “gunned down” seems to imply that she was the target. More likely she was collateral damage.

Lie down with dogs, get up with fleas.

Mike Parker reports the victim, 15-year-old Hadiya Pendleton, was taking shelter from the rain with a group of 10 to 12 teenagers under a canopy

Yup a 15 year old girl ducking under a canopy to avoid getting rained on proves that she was asking for it. The kid should have known better.

But hey, wasn’t the community organizer who just got reelected from Chicago? Bet her parents - dad probably missing - voted for the 0 hole. These idiots deserve the cities they create, and I don’t want them coming to me for help. My give a damm meter is worn out for the dim cities.

>>>Quite obviously she did indeed have gang affiliations, and in so doing, made herself an intended target.<<<

Possibly, but due to the shoddy reporting, typical of the MSM, it is not entirely clear whether she was “with” the gang members in the sense that she was friends with them, or if she happened to seek shelter from the rain under the same canopy as the gang members.

Her profile, honor student, volleyball player, band member, clean cut appearance, in what appear to be recent photos (unlike the Trayvon baby pictures), make me think she probably wasn’t gang affiliated.

In the end, it doesn’t really matter. This is the fault of the NRA, the gun manufacturers, all responsible gun owners and those who believe in a 10 Amendment Bill of Rights and of course, most importantly, the evil GUN that maliciously and of its own volition, chose to murder this girl, like all GUNS will eventually do, if they are not confiscated. /sarc

Exactly. And since this is somebody's baby, I think we owe her the benefit of the doubt until shown otherwise.

They were taking shelter from the rain, so, no, she may have had nothing to do with the gang members. Gun control would not have saved this honor student. Eliminating the gangs would have.
