I think the careful shooters avoid striking above the waist, thus preventing the attempted murder charge, should they ever be caught and prosecuted.

WHY oh why would anybody shoot a 12 year old boy on a bike?

Feral youth gangs do not have logical reasons for what they do.

It wouldn’t be Chicago if they didn’t have weekend violence. A lot of people move their for the violence.

You mean, there are people left in Chicago who still haven’t been murdered or at least shot once? At the rate they’ve been getting shot in the last decade or so, most everybody there has been shot at least once. ;)

That seems counter-intuitive to my old fashioned thinking. It's a modern day Sodom and Gomorrah. Time is running out for this country. We are being dragged into an abyss of lawlessness.

You mean the (possible/likely) rival gang member? Or (possible/likely) drug mule? Or just another of the feral urban yoots that’d shoot someone else over the change in their pocket? Or....

They want them to endure the pain of recovery.

Low fatalities means these misunderstood lads were just gunning n clowning around to post on social media. These lads n Klowns just fire their shitty guns in the general direction.

Looking for fame and clicks where they post the video.
