LITTLE ROCK (KATV) — The Little Rock Police Department confirms a 3-year-old boy is dead after he was shot during a road rage incident Saturday.

According to police, the shooting occurred in southwest Little Rock. The child's grandmother was driving the car and taking her grandson shopping when the incident occurred. Police believe she and the victim were completely innocent and have no relationship with the suspect.

The child was discovered to be fatally wounded at the JCPenney store in the Shackleford Crossings shopping center in west Little Rock.

Police are now looking for an older black Chevrolet Impala being driven by a tall black male.

Like several other American cities this year, Little Rock has been dealing with a surge in murders, suffering 40 so far for a population of less than 200,000. We need a new focus on law and order, or we are going to plunge right back to the crime rates we were suffering back in the early-90's.

For some cities, it is too late - among others, Louisville, Memphis, Tulsa, and Fayetteville have all already hit all-time record high murder totals.

It's actually time to take Obama's advice and hope for some change... though probably not the kind of change he meant...

Well, of course!

Is this also a Hate Crime?
Info is very sparse.
My sympathies to the family of the three year old.

They all need Rudy-like mayors. Don’t give a ### about the press or black leaders or the TV media. Arrest EVERYBODY who’s breaking the law. Urinating in the street, arrested. Stealing a soda. Arrested. And keep at it.

Freaking nightmare. A 3 year old dead.

"Is this also a Hate Crime?"

Yes, it is a Hate Crime to report that a perp is black. The reporter must be punished.

That IS what you were asking, yes? </sarc>

You're right about the need for a hands-on mayor. But your are talking about democrat dominated city governments. Their sole power bases are New York, Illinois, California and urban centers. That's all they have left.

If (When, I hope) Trump gets rid of the criminal illegals it will make a huge change in the incidence of crime. If he can get rid of the illegal gang members he will make a huge dent in urban crime.

Beyond that getting rid of all illegal aliens will create huge changes in urban areas. It is estimated there are 2 million illegals in Los Angeles alone. They are working, drawing welfare, accessing the education and health systems, and renting or buying housing. Take them out of the economy and the demand for all these goods and services falls. Democrat voters also drastically decline. It will be interesting to see how this all plays out.

Horrible. This is beyond sad. Road rage, or black road rage? There’s a difference.

Louisville murder is almost entirely demographic.

Road rage? I wouldn’t make that determination yet.

probably drug and gang related. Close the border (need a special tunnel task force), burn the poppy fields in Afghanistan, bomb the drug cartels in central and south america as a start.

How it plays out is I want the national guard to go into those areas and extract, if necessary. Stopping funds isn’t enough.

They’re illegal aliens. As hard working as some of them are, the word illegal needs to mean something again.

My mom gave me the number of a house cleaner once. I didn’t know she was illegal until afterwords. She did an INCREDIBLE job. Incredible.

But I couldn’t call her back once I found out. What a shame!!

You want to get rid of the gangs? Eliminate welfare.

With a secure income provided by Uncle Sugar, ghetto girls can afford a preference for playing with the exciting, manly thugs. If the girls go for the gangstas, that creates an incentive for the guys to become gangsta.

Without welfare, ghetto girls would have no choice, but to not have children, except if married to a guy with a stable job.

With their access to sex reduced, the gangstas would have more of an incentive to get a job, and to get the education needed to qualify for a job.

I try to keep myself and the family safe when I drive. People here can't drive and I thought Boston and New York drivers were bad. Tampa got them beat.

Bicyclists in Tampa, don't get me started on them. AA on bikes thinks bike rules are only for Caucasians.
