"So tell me why I’m supposed to care."

Because... er.. ah.. um... You got me there.

Wait I got it. You should fight to keep liberalism from spreading into your community. This is a good example of what liberal policies result in.

This is obviously a problem within the black community itself.
In every city in America. LBJ's "great society" turned the civil rights movement into the greatest crime wave the country has ever seen.

How many of them were shot IN SCHOOL, and how many were shot while gangbangin’ after school or while truant FROM SCHOOL? How many of them were registered as students but never showed up?

Typical lib drivel, trying to make it sound like the school halls are running with blood, so they can demand more MONEY!

"I live here in Chi and I can guarantee you that this is not made up...the reports on shootings were non stop before “O” got to be POTUS...My husband and I would bet on the number of casualties over a single weekend...most of the time more killed here than in Iraq...The Wild South Side"

508-25=483. 483/16=30... That's one nonlethal shooting of a child/day. That's pure BS. Notice the person that made this statistic up wasn't available for interview. Also notice there's no explicit source of the data given. The only "source" mentioned are the anecdotal hand counts of a class of school children.

I don't believe Daley's libtard propaganda machine.

Sounds like they have a shortage of “parents”.

"parents"....How colloquial! The term is "babydaddy" or "babymomma".

No, they should just make Chicago illegal. Quagmire - pull out now.

Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. - Albert Einstein,

Are Leftist's Stupid, Insane or just plain Evil?

Stupid and insane [or Insanely Stupid] since they keep on doing the same thing over and over again and expect a different result?

Or are they Evil since they KNOW taking away the Constitutional rights of the Law-abiding, won't make anyone safer – including “The Children”, but just Don't care

Since civilians can't own a gun in Chicago, the perpetrators must be cops.

Paul Vallas for Cook County Board Chairman! Yay! Barf!

Not to entirely blame him though no one could successfully captain the Titanic after the iceberg hit.

Haha. This article doesn’t really have anything to do with the schools, rather the bad hoods they are in.

“schools without truant officers”

Yes let’s force JR. Gangbangers who don’t want to be there to go to school so they can harass and sell drugs to the other kids, great idea!

Busing to achieve racial balance. That’ll fix the problem.........in the Twilight Zone.

Welcome to the Twilight Zone. After 95% of Whites have fled Chicago and its Public schools - 'BUSING to achieve racial balance' is still the mandate (law).

A couple/few years ago, even a Federal Judge said the Busing Mandate from the 70's is now utter nonsense and accomplishes nothing as there are no 'segregated' white schools left to integrate and he wanted to end busing. But ... (cue Twilight Zone music) ... The Chicago Public School System FOUGHT TO KEEP BUSING IN PLACE. And it is!

So now black students are bused from their own black neighborhood, and black school, to a black neighborhood & black school across town. The same for hispanic kids in hispanic neighborhoods. They get on the bus to go to another hispanic school. Now someone with anything more than pea brain would surmise that the way the School system fought to keep this, someone is making some money off this scam.

There are barely any whites left in Chicago, especially school age. Hispanics are the Majority Minority #1, then Blacks and then the White folks -- about 20,000 yuppie Cubs fans and my Mother-In-Law (she just won't move).

Misleading headline and article.

These aren't "students", they're gang banging criminals of protected minority persuasions. And they're only purpose of being in a 'school' is to recruit new gang members.

And as long as the race hustlers like Jesse Jackass are around the real problem - and it ain't guns -- will NOT be addressed, ever. Hell it won't even be whispered. As this human scum have relatives who vote. Illegal alien or not. Felon or not. And Daley and the RATS want those votes.

And the average age of these “students” is what?

Is it less than 20 years?

"ANOTHER REASON TO HOMESCHOOL"

Homeschooling only works where:
(a) there are homes; and
(b) the parents know how to read, write, and (this one is key) Speak English - "Ebonics" doesn't count.

The Wild South Side

The baddest part of town.

If you go down there, you better just beware of a man named Leroy Brown.

Sorry.

The MSM (CBS in this case) trotting out a gun violence story on cue to shape public opinion ahead of a gun and/or ammo ban.

Wait until they start stories about Russian-made ammo being "cheap and too easy to get" in the ghetto.
