3 males shot in Chicago's Chatham neighborhood

Three males were shot and wounded Thursday in the Chatham neighborhood on Chicago's South Side.

[NO Way]

They even shoot them during the daytime. Wow I would never go to the city to the Taste, or the fireworks. Thats a great place to get killed, quick.

Can Richie Daley bring the International Olympic Committee search group to scope out this prospective Olympic venue?

Equip them with kevlar vests, beforehand.

Is saving our kids lives a key state priority?

Friends, my sources in the Governor's office indicate that the restoration of Ceasefire funding is a part of the pending state budget to take effect July 1st, provided that the Governor does not cut the funds again. Now is the time for all those major media outlets that raised their voices when Ceasefire's funds were originally cut to immediately raise them again BEFORE the Governor starts making these July 1st deadline cuts.

With all due respect to the good people who are receiving funding from the Governor's new Safety Net program, the challenges our inner city youth face this summer require all those efforts. I have repeatedly pointed out that a majority of the inner city youth that have been seriously hurt and killed this year are from areas that were once covered by full time Ceasefire intervention workers. We MUST challenge the Governor to recognize the importance of providing every resource that we can to help intervene and prevent violence and death this summer, versus rally after rally, march after march, vigil after vigil. We must have rallies celebrating how many lives we save this summer versus how will be lost to senseless acts of violence.

2 of 3 million who attended the fireworks were shot. That's less than one in a million odds. You have a better chance of getting hit by lightening.

News reports such as this should say whether the area in question belongs to the Four-Corner-Hustlers or the Gangster Disciples, etc.

They should also tell us the gang affiliation of the victims if it is known.

well put!

[The Bloody Snowman]

Oh no! Say it just isn't so! More shootings in Daley's "Gun Free" Kingdom?

When will the sheeple throw this lying parasitic bully out?

He whines about this being like the old west. He really is out of touch with reality.

In the old west, BOTH parties had guns.

What a dufus!

Let me guess...the shooters and victims were black and had no health insurance? What does it take to concentrate ALL able bodied police on the south and west sides? Pull all northside cops out of northside donut shops. They are paid too well to hide from the "war." Give the north siders a tax credit since they wouldn't be getting the police help they are paying for.

That's just stupid!

[Ritz and Saltines]

I'm tired of cry-babies who whine online, but do nothing about anything. Go pick up little Billy from soccer practice and little Sally from ballet and leave the reggin class to our self-genocide. Nothing to see here. Move along.

[at the scene]

How do you think the 2 shootings at the Taste last night will affect Looptopia next year?

[The Bloody Snowman]

It can only get bigger n' better n' more guns!

[DIY Destruction]

Whoops, I meant "DIY Destruction..." w/o that extra "c". Boy, it must be the color of my skin making me so careless with my spelling!

[clyde]

Black SUV? What a surprise. Guns? No way. Chicago is a gun-free zone. What it ISN'T is an idiot-free zone.

[Sooo]

Then we would have a new mayor voted in.

No one cares who the bangers are affiliated with...we just want them to either stop the shooting or kill each other off quickly. Then we can all have peace and quiet.

[Seriously]

So now that the racial mud slinging has started any suggestion on how to get these parents to take responsibility for their children. My opinion and it's just mines but those with the mud slinging are bigger cowards than the gang members because they hide behind their computer with fake names and take about a entire race of people, at least the coward gang banger as you call them identity will be revealed.

If we don't try to come together as americans regardless of color we are going to have a bigger problem. These forum are suppose to be for discussions of the problem and trying to up with a solution not for race bashing.

way to accept the savage violence the beast has unleashed upon those wanting nothing more than to spend the day with their families

[Second City Writer]

New slogan for next year's Taste of Chicago: "Come to the Taste of Chicago - it's only a one in a million chance you'll get murdered."

[Wait]

Wait until the City takes more police yet of the good areas to serve these animals. Pretty soon the tax paying citizens are going to have to stand in front of their own doors with shotguns and fend for themselves.
