COOK COUNTY CRIMINAL COURTHOUSE — A West Ridge man was charged with murder after apparently shooting a fellow gang member in the back, prosecutors said Monday. Prosecutors allege Martinez was in a car with Daniel Rivera, 27, and Rivera's cousin shortly before midnight on May 23. Martinez and Rivera are both Latin Kings, according to authorities. Martinez was previously convicted in 2012 of aggravated battery with a deadly weapon after he and two fellow gang members attacked with baseball bats a group of students returning a homecoming dance, prosecutors said.

KEYWORDS:
A couple of times a year we’ll get see an event that’ll leave one “turing his life around” gangbanger dead at the hands of a fellow “he is a caring and loving father” gangbanger. Obviously, Edgar didn’t pay attention to a single hour of his Illinois mandated 16 hours worth of concealed carry training – Rule #5 – don’t shoot your fellow gangbanger in the back while shooting at rival gang members. Duh. Chicago Values

“16-round-capacity .22 caliber revolver with six expended rounds in the cylinder.”

Huh?

So one gang banger is dead, and the other will be in jail till he’s an old man, so what’s the downside?

I used to live in Chicago. And remember seeing Latin King graffiti all over the city. Their “artists” scrawled a drawing of a crown and then the letters L/K.

The youth gangs like to make their presence known.

A Hollywood gun you never have to reload?
The interweb says the Ruger 10 is about the max cap for .22 cylinders. A gerbalist may have met the Peter principle here on firearms.

At least they didn’t call it an assault weapon.
