The family of 15-year-old Sincere Cole, who was fatally gunned down near a Chicago Lawn gas station, is pleading for witnesses to come forward. Cole was shot 24 times while he was heading to the gas station at Western Avenue and Marquette Road Saturday evening for snacks. [More]

He was "trying to get his life together"? And was his "entrepreneurship" deemed "better than knocking an old lady in the head for her purse" sanctioned by the gas station owner and welcomed by his "customers"?

The thought occurs that Chicago murderers disproportionately target minorities as well.

What could the explanation for these disparities possibly be, aside from "Forget it, Jake, it's Chi-Town"?

Give a Little Whistle

Lincoln Park Alderman Michele Smith (D-43) is asking her constituents to buy whistles and blow them if they see certain crimes unfold. [More]

And she says "Get serious."

I wonder how many have invited Michelle to blow something else.

In the Spirit of the Season

 The attackers were two males but a further description of them has not been released. The suspects remain at large and cops are still trying to determine the motive of the attack. [More]

I don't suppose the first priority should be determining who and where they are, and maybe enlisting the still-at-risk public's help in identifying them? 

Forget it, Jake, it's ChiTown.

Chicago poised to create one of the nation’s largest ‘guaranteed basic income’ programs [More]

Yeah, let Democrats reroute more plunder to encourage generational entitlement, dependence, and sloth. That always works.

Get ready for bigger, better numbers and more "unrest."

 Authorities are investigating after police say two young girls were shot, one fatally, on Chicago’s Northwest Side. [Watch]

Note to CPD: When you call it "gun violence," you deflect blame and in effect make excuses for the monsters. I also note he says they were alerted by Doesn'tDoSquatSpotter, the scam David Chipman was pushing before he got his domestic enemy gig at Giffords -- and naturally, the perp was long gone by the time the cops showed up.
