Part of the problem IMO is that these people never seem to put blame on the fact the majority of this shit is gang related....
From the article, Rahm and the police chief were both interviewed and not once did the word gang get mentioned, but gun was said a whole lotta times...
"One victim of one shooting is one too many," Mayor Rahm Emanuel said in a statement Tuesday evening, "but when innocent children are caught in the crossfire of gun violence and young people have their childhood stolen by stray bullets, our consciences are shaken and our hearts are broken. Every parent, regardless of where they live, should be able to take their child for a walk to the park or a ride in the car."
The mayor went on to say: "These shootings must be a turning point for our city. Anyone with information about these crimes owes it to the families of these children to come forward."
After the shooting, police inspected the maroon car in the alley. It was pock-marked with bullet holes, included holes in the rear passenger side window.
Chicago Police Supt. Eddie Johnson spoke at the scene of the crime.
"This has got to stop somewhere," Johnson said. "Our children shouldn't have to keep paying the price for our inability to hold repeat gun offenders for their actions. ... My gut is telling me when we finally find this guy, we're going to find he's a repeat gun offender."
No one was in custody late Tuesday afternoon, but investigators suspect the man was the intended target.
"We believe that this was a targeted shooting, so these people were looking for him," Johnson said.
A source said police have leads on who the shooter was — and a license plate. No arrests have been made.
"We have very promising leads," Johnson said. "We have video, so there is no doubt in my mind that we will find him. But the issue is still creating a culture of accountability for people that fire weapons, and we are just not doing that.
"I hope our legislative partners are looking right now," Johnson continued. "We have yet another innocent child in Chicago that can lose their life over senseless gun violence."
The biggest thing I agree with is the fact that he's likely a repeat offender... They keep giving these assholes these light sentences and theyre back out pulling this shit 6 months later.
