Non-fatal shootings ranged across the city from Jefferson Park to West Pullman. Among them were a 1-year-old girl and her mother, both grazed by bullets Sunday afternoon in the South Side Chatham neighborhood.

Most recently, a man was shot in both legs about 1:45 a.m. while sitting in Ogden Park in the South Side Englewood neighborhood, police said. He was taken in serious condition to John H. Stroger Jr. Hospital of Cook County.

At least 33 others were wounded in shootings since Friday evening.

If Obama had an enormous family, his family would look like all these guys.

This is unpossible. Chicago doesn’t allow guns.

I’m sure most of the shooters were white males with concealed carry permits.

I put a Scanner Radio app on my smartphone - Chicago PD is the most listened to - there’s 453 people listening to the Chicago PD scanner right now on that App - I’m one of them
(my town’s scanner, thankfully, is usually boring)

Where is Obama’s outrage at the death of a 6-year-old girl?

"Aliyah Shell was playing on the porch of her home in the 3100 block of South Springfield Avenue about 3:40 p.m. Saturday while her parents sat on the front steps. A small gray pickup truck stopped in the street and one person inside got out and fired four shots -- two of them hitting the little girl."

Still don’t understand why people don’t believe in Darwinism. Nature fields itself.

Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD;.......... “ (Psalm 33:12a)

“By mercy and truth iniquity is purged; and by the fear of the LORD men depart from evil.” (Proverbs 16:6)

“For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” (Romans 6:23)

“But the fearful, and unbelieving and the abominable; and
murderers; And whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolators, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.” (Revelation 21:8)

All across our country and in every aspect of our lives, Obama is “Fundamentally Changing America”.

I take comfort in knowing that Obama is using his “laser-like focus” to fix these problems.

I am thinking that Obama’s promised “shovel ready jobs” are finally here.... the shovels were for digging graves, lots and lots of graves.

Why aren’t Black Leaders decrying the slaughter ongoing in Chicago as being Rush Limbaugh’s or Bush’s fault?

One question: when the feral scum start shooting from vehicles in my neighborhood, can I return fire on the vehicle without being labeled by the villainous vermin of media as a ‘white racists’ when the dead punks turn out to be black? ... In little barry bastard and Evil Holder’s America, no, shooting back constitutes racist bias.

Given as much as we hear from the national MSM, judging only by the headline, you’d think this story was about Baghdad or Damascus; and certainly not dear leaders’s home town.

You know what’s an absolute shame, I bet you the majority if not all of those people who were shot and killed(Including that beautiful little girl’s family) voted for Obama..and you know what, it doesn’t even matter because their life had meaning..but Obama did not call them or offer his condolences to them..why? Because he only shows “Outrage” when its something he can use politically to score points.
