Chicago Shoot out

[JAL]

Nearly everyone at our family gatherings is armed.

As an aside to this thread:
At family gatherings I'm probably the only one actually armed. My brother had firearms as does at least one cousin (handgun) and uncle (shotgun). The cousins in one family are at least very familiar with them (including the cousin who does - or did - own a handgun and his father who owns - or did own - a shotgun). Also have a half-sister by birth who also owns at least one handgun. AFAIK I'm the only one who actually routinely carried professionally and continues to now.

Rhetorical question: What kind of sub-human sack of dog excrement shoots up a baby shower?

For all the same reasons I'm not surprised in the least this occurred in Englewood on the South Side.

Wow a 8 and 10 year old shot !

Thats just a complete disregard for human life if you wanna “call a shot” why would you spray an area with babies present?

I assume the family is not cooperating with Police because of fear of retaliation ?

Snarky remark follows:
Not because of any fear of retaliation, they'll be conducting the retaliation or carrying it out it by proxy. It tells me they know who did it, at least by gang membership or association with one. They wouldn't want law enforcement getting in the way of exacting revenge.

Maybe they felt that if arrested the shooters would just be let go by Kim Foxx and they want to give out a stiffer sentence

It is very sad that young people today have no regard for human life, no respect for authority, no anger management or self control, too often single parent homes, no direction or purpose in life. very sad
