CHICAGO (CBS) — With three more fatalites reported late Sunday and very early Monday, at least 17 people were killed in shootings in Chicago this weekend, including a 1-year-old boy who was hit by bullet while riding in a car in Englewood, and a 10-year-old girl who was hit by a stray bullet in her home in Logan Square.

Chicago Police Chief of Operations Fred Waller said shortly after 2 p.m. Saturday, the mother of the 20-month-old boy was driving south on Halsted Street near 60th Street, on the way home from the laundromat, with the toddler in a child seat in the back of the car. Another car pulled up alongside them, and someone inside started shooting.

The boy was shot once in the chest, and a bullet grazed the mother’s head, according to Chicago Police Chief of Operations Fred Waller. The boy was identified as Sincere Gaston.

On my way into work this morning.

Body Count - listen to it if you can.

Do I care - I absolutely do. But he was right in 1991 and he's right today. And at least locally I hear the same old arguments from 'polite bigots' in online forums.


They say -
What about gun violence in Chicago
What about black on black crime
It's a problem of poor upbringing
They choose poverty and crime


It's the same bullshit. No more 'talk' until they take heed when we say *f*ck you* (not YOU OP - the racists in Hunterdon County NJ) when they holler 'Tell us what to do!?!".

We've told them - and a certain segment of white Americans REFUSES to hear that BY DESIGN - by absolute DESIGN - we were corralled into certain neighborhoods and abandoned.

Maybe I should start another thread -


Hey hey - how many children drank lead in Michigan today!?!
