Thanks for posting this. I live near Chicago and am horrified reading the Chicago newspapers.
This is not the worst of it. Terrible, senseless, often random violence day after day. 50 shot one weekend, 70 the next, no end in sight. Just walking down the street can earn you a drive by, for no reason at all. Shooting up parks, playgrounds, school yards. Hell, just driving down the street spraying gunfire at houses. Why this is not national headline news every day baffles me.
Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
