Chicago braces for yet another weekend of crime and violence

Kenwon Parker would have turned 16 on Saturday. But instead of celebrating an important milestone in a young person’s life, his friends and family are mourning his death.

Parker has become another sad reminder of the horrific crimes that play out almost every day in Chicago.

Parker was shot dead Thursday by a 13-year-old boy following a youth basketball tournament at Garfield Park field house on Chicago’s West Side. A 14-year-old was wounded.

The 13-year-old has been charged with weapons violations. The boy, whom police have not publicly identified because he is a juvenile, has been charged with weapons violations, Chicago police said. He was charged Friday night and released into the custody of a parent or guardian, Officer Jose Jara said.

Across the city, news of shootings is coming in faster than police can even get to any given scene. more here

  1. Keep voting demorat,listen to rap-crap
    & Hip-Hop,join BLM and I am sure things are
    going to get better. On a side note here=
    Those Chicago ER docs & nurses got to be
    some of the best gun shot medics in the world.
    Maybe our military medics need to be trained
    by them.

  2. Chicago homicides were ticking down until 2016. So what changed in 2016?

    Rather than enforcing laws already in the books, Obama set out and introduced a new set of executive orders aimed at reducing gun violence.

    You can track the uptick to the very day Obama announced executive orders, Jan. 5, 2016.

    That’s what happens when you (further) restrict law abiding citizens from acquiring a gun.

    More proof Obama was the most incompetent president ever.

  3. What we can do to help is drop ammo on street corners and door steps. If you live in or around Shitcago, send ammo. They need more. I also think its time the brothers step up their game and start using flame throwers.

  4. Gee thanks guys! I’m leaving for work and my daughter and her beau are at the air show while my son his wife and my wife are at the Italian Fest.

    Now me, the guy who always carries, is sixty plus miles to the northwest. I see there’s another thread about the wonderful safety in Shitcago about this one so I’ll probably duplicate this post on that one…
