Exactly why I stay in my house.

“gunned down while trick or treating with her two children” “The woman was walking with her child and two nieces”

Which one is it…does she have two children at the age of 20 and having a third or does she have one child, pregnant with her second, at the age of 20; and walking with her two nieces?

I suspect the Planned Parenthood gang was involved. They wanted to make sure that another “lil’ failure” wasn’t brought into society…………

Wow thank God mother and child are alive…what the hell is with the unecessary violence in the world today ?

OMG CHICAGO WHY AM I NOT SURPRISED.

WTF…..SMH!!!

I’m glad they are all okay.

Exactly why I stay in my house.

the southside of chicago is turning into their own little iraq and they don’t even have a legitimate cause….

This doesn’t make any sense. This is just pure ignorance

She was tricking and got her back blown out?

Well I’m from the Chi and we only have this new spotlight because thats where the president started. We still are one of the best cities in this country so WTFeva! And if you have something unintelligent to say try to live there for a week.

This is a daxn shame that you cannot trick or treat @ 7 @ night without being shot. That is great that she nor the baby died but still this is a daxn shame!

Apparently not or else maybe you would have won the Olympics. The negativity surrounding Chicago put y’all in the spotlight WAY before Obama was elected President. The stigma surrouding Cabrini Green and the whole thing with the gangs thrust Chi-Town in the spotlight in the 1970′s!!!

I am sad to hear this…

That’s why you ‘TRICK OR TREAT’ in an upper class neighborhood!!!!!!!!!!!!! And or throw you’re little ones a kiddy party!

@dsgsgg

lol

20 with 3 kids though???

cHICAGO IS GETTING OUT OF HAND BUT TRUST THE SAME MESS HAPPENS IN OTHER CITIES~~CABRINI GREEN WAS BAD AND CHICAGO HAS HAD A REP WAY BACK IN THEAL CAPONE DAYS, BUT THIS MESS IS RIDICULOUS~! dont think chicago AINT RAN BY GANGTAS AND I AINT TALKING JUST STREET GANGS, IM TALKING MAYOR , POLICE, COUNCILMEN AND ALL!

I will NEVER live in Chicago, due to the high homicide rate…

Second, if I was forced to live there, I would never leave my home after 5pm…

And the kids DEFINITELY would NOT go trick-or-treating… What’s more important, your life or some stale candy??

Even though the pres is from Chi-town, you couldn’t pay, me to go to that state. I’m surprised that they made it out, without being assaulted in some way…

God Blessed her – may he continue to bless her baby and her.

ALOT OF PPL WERE KILLED IN MY AREA THIS WEEKEND..SAD

She is 20 with two kids old enough to trick or treat and she preganant with a 3rd..Where are her parents to tell her these streets weren’t made for kids…oh yeah and to close her legs..Damn!

Hey , im live in St louis and its as much violence here as Chi, but some never gets reported. when have you heard about crime in MO, but believe me its here and even some Chicago folks live here! or have moved here~! i would live there but unfortunetly i cant move right now, but hey there is more of Chicago than the south side~!!

Its really being emphasized because Obama and Michelle are from Chicago, trust me some parts of Chicago dont see crime like that~!

I’m from Chicago, lived there all my life except college years and I recently moved. Whoever says Chicago is not bad is in a very sheltered world. It has become so depressing. Chicago is just a super grimy city, and no one can be trusted. Everybody is out for self. I have lost so many family members and friends to the streets it is ridiculous. It’s normal to hear stories like this at home and you almost get used to it. Nothing surprises me anymore. Like rose by…. said, street gangs don’t run Chi, politicians do. They are basically allowing people to kill each other because they are trying to move all the black people out to the suburbs. Now that hey are tired of commuting from the burbs, they have rebuilt the city, and made it too expensive to live for many blacks. The ones that refuse to move, they are going to let kill each other off. What I have noticed is that when we (blacks) do become successful, we try to move away from the problem(I am guilty of this myself). That isn’t going to solve anything, because one day we will come in contact with the same people we tried to move away from . We really need to try to fix it, and it’s up to us to do it. We cannot count on politicians or anyone else to do it for us.

this has got to stop…

that’s just sad. & you see what happened to jennifer hudson’s family! & where was it, CHICAGO! smh! that’s mainly why they didn’t want to have the olympics bc it’s nothing but pure violence. & j hud left chicago because of the extreme violence rates! that’s why she wanted her mother to move from there, but she refused!

I am from Chicago and I think the problem is their needs to be more police control.. Chicago isn’t that bad, the problem is it is more publicized because it is such a major city. People need to stop making ignorant comments about the woman. She was innocent and so was her child.God Bless her and the baby.

Been in chicago all my life i stay in the south suburbs (CAL CITY)and it has gotten worse and worse out here, now there iare gun fights right in front of my apartment. And it doesnt matter what time anywhere from 3 in the afternoon till 4 in the morning. Living in chicago its second nature to peep out whats going on around you 24/7 and try not to get caught sleepin, a word of advice for anybody visiting is to stay alert and dont make it too obvious cause word on the street is everybody is tryin to be a stick up man and they will get you anywhere gas station, parking lot of the club, stop light store,sittin in your car parked for more than 5 minutes etc… no that

dont down my city

I can’t wait to get out this city…

cherry- if u born and raised here it aint gone be dat easy leaving

Thank God her and her baby are okay. My prayers go out to her for a speedy recovery.

I hope they are caught and prosecuted and I pray the mother and unborn baby are safe from harm…

what does smh means

T

D Renee~~ You are right and i know folks whi live in Chicago and they love it,it is run by corrupt politiciansand i really agree with the comment you made about folks running from crime and running right into another type of crime! True thters killings in Chi, but dont ask the wrongone or walk the wrong way in St louis , Cedric the Entertainer will tell you about my city~ Right on thr back of Chicago and as far as Juhuds family sure she wanted them to move and tey didnt they loved Chicago and i do too, whether anyone knows it or not they Chucago looked out for jhuds family in Englewood, that violence came from domestic and you cant stop domestic even in the white folks hood, they kill and dismember the wifes body. drew peterson was from Bolingbrook. Illinois and he lived a quiet surburb of Chicago and look what he did, they still aint found his wifes body~! i dont see nobody blaming Chicago on him~!! And to top it off he was a Chicago cop~!!

I LOVE MY CITY!!!! CHI TOWN STAND UP!!

East St Louis is almost as bad, where i live we have Chicagoans here, ask Cedric the entertainer about St louis, Jhuds family was protected in Englewood 9south side of Chi) that violence came from within.. domestic violence . who can stop that..Drew Peterson killed his wife and he was from Bolingbrook, Illinois and i dont hear nobody blaming Chicago for that! Plus he was a Chicago cop!!

OH YEAH @MARIE THE VIOLENCE DOESNT ERASE ALL THE BEAUTIFUL THINGS IN CHICAGO. CHICAGO IS ONE OF THE BEST CITIES IN THE WORLD! THIS VIOLENCE THATS BEEN HAPPENING HAS MOSTLY BEEN IN THE SAME AREA WHICH IS ENGLEWOOD ON THE SOUTH SIDE WHERE THEY STILL HAVE A 90′S MENTALITY. NOT THE WHOLE CITY BABY

AND.. I BELIEVE WE ARE GETTING SOO MUCH PRESS AND EVERYTHING IS BEING MADE NATIONAL IS BECAUSE ITS KINDA LIKE A SLAP IN THE FACE TO THE PRESIDENT WHOS FROM HERE. THIS HAPPENS IN MANY CITIES BUT IT IS RARELY ON THE NEWS. EVRY SINGLE SHOOTING OR BEATING IN CHICAGO IS MADE NATIONAL NEWS NOW..

@ ROSE BAN

Its really being emphasized because Obama and Michelle are from Chicago, trust me some parts of Chicago dont see crime like that~!

THANK YOU!!! HELLLOOOO!!! Yes Chicago has ALWAYS been bad, BUT it’s been getting alot of recent attention b/c Barak is from here….

OH YEAH I HEARD SOMEONE MENTION THE OLYMPICS. PART OF THE RESON WAS BECAUSE OF THE VIOLENCE BUT THE OTHER WAS INTERNATIONAL CONFLICTS,POLITICS,ISSUES, AND MONEY THAT WE KNOW NOTHING ABOUT. CITIZENS HERE NEVER WANTED IT BECAUSE OF THE HIGHER TAXES AND DEMOLITION OF OUR HISTORIC NEIGHBORHOODS.WE DIDNT WIN BUT WAS UR CITY EVEN NOMINATED? LOL

@BROCK

Thats what Im saying! this aint new to US. It’s always been bad as hell here. But we weren’t on CNN every nite like we are now. It’s a ploy by the media to cast Barak in a bad light.

@KENNEDY EXACTLY. IF SOMEONE GETS SLAPPED IN CHICAGO ITS GONNA BE ON THE NEWS NOW.

@BROCK

OH YEAH I HEARD SOMEONE MENTION THE OLYMPICS. PART OF THE RESON WAS BECAUSE OF THE VIOLENCE BUT THE OTHER WAS INTERNATIONAL CONFLICTS,POLITICS,ISSUES, AND MONEY THAT WE KNOW NOTHING ABOUT.

——————————————————

Of course their city wasn’t nominated. RIO Brazil who has 5000 murders per year was nominated. So the murder rate had nothing to do w/it, it just wasn’t our time…….

OH AND IF ANYONE ON HERE IS FROM THE SOUTH SIDE IWAS REFERRING TO MOST OF THE DUDES OUT THERE GANGBANGING HAVING A 90′S MENATLITY NOT THE WHOLE SOUTHSIDE.

who tricks and treats in the hood?!

Brook~~ i will stand up for you.. CHI Stand UP!! Some of my best adventures were in Chicago and just for the warning, I know a lot of folks who have been very notorius and have moved to another State, they still have ties in Chitown but dont think they dont live in your State, even in my State~!!

my nephew was trick a treating with his friends ( hes 8) and some older dudes chased them down and stole their candy and ask them did they have any money they said no and one dude said let the little kids go and that was in east St louis. no more trick or treating for him!! he came home crying and scared, his mom said fu-k trick or treating last time~!!

@ROSE lol thanks i got u too.

kennedy – yeah Rio “has 5000 murders per year”, they also have millions more people.

@ohononohaterz

Whats your point? That is still too many murders. 80% of the crimes committed there are against tourists which is even more frightening.

lol platinum fubu? i dont know what area out west that was lol but all i meant is that in the 90′s the whole city was really into gangbanging as far as being really territorial and going by the way your hat is turned and colors. dudes out west kinda fell back and gd’s kick it wit vls but out south alot of dudes are still into that including a few friends and cousins. englewood,terror town, mo town etc..

out south is still really deep into the gangbanging thats all im saying. not trying to offend you.

*certain areas of the south side

@BROCK

LOL not offended……

UTUBE/YOUNGB64 LEAVE COMMENTS IF U LIKE

TWITTER/REALMIACHI84 PEACE YA’LL!!!

Who goes trick-or-treating in the hood anyway?

damn..i heard that as ablood initiation they were trying to harm as much women as possible this halloween.idk if its true though,but thats y i dnt take my sister trick or treatin her dad took her.people r crazy nowadays

y would she go trick or treating anyway knowing she got a baby in her i think her sisters are somebody else should of took the kids trick or treating or no trick or treatin for them this year

@always knew

It’s obvious you live in a small rural town because crime is EVERYWHERE you go. So please sthu.

Of course their city wasn’t nominated.

**********************************************************

Well actually I am from NYC and we were nominated for 2012…we didn’t get it either. No Olympian was trying to be on NYC Public Transportation to get to a sporting event!

It is just amazing how you still don’t hear celebs/natiational personalities/politicians such as Oprah, Obama, Jesse Jackson, R-Kelly, Jennifer Hudson and others that are all from Chicago not speak out against this deplorable and debilitating violence that has grip this city.

Just shameful and crazy.

Follow me at http://www.twitter.com/thecrypticone

Wow,some of you’ll have no sympthany for others.

chicago is not that bad, yes we do have some neighborhoods even i as a black woman wouldnt venture into!!! but my neighborhood is very upscale and we have pride in our community as black people. i think almost every city has a ghetto just be blessed if your one of the lucky ones who dont have to live in one

@sidney

Your neighborhood is upscale?
Yeah right!
Do you live on the Gold Coast?

No you cant be boyfriend .. shut the hell up i see u on here feeding ur dump to these people.

Chicago Chicago…there aint no way in hell i’d be moving to that city. I know that they say crime is everywhere and it certainly is indeed, but Chicago has and probably always will be one of the worst in the U.S. I often wonder what would become of all those who are in poverty if they were given a chance at wealth. What would they do with it and would crime decrease. I can tell you that if everyone had a peice of the American dream crime would definatley decrease. That will never be the case though. Even as far back as biblical times, you had the peasants and thieves and the royalty and powerful. I wish this young mother a speedy recovery and to whom ever done this, i pray that they find it in them to change. While away from their gang counterparts an in the solitude of themselves i hope they are able to truly reflect on their actions. What a damn shame….

@ Really Good
Halloween isn’t more pagan than the traditions of Christmas and Easter. Do some research. You can’t be ignorant your whole life.

@ dsgsgg

so not funny …..

@ really good

At first it was just about kids dressing up in costumes and getting candy, now people putting up Halloween lights, dead people hanging, graves in yards with tombstones, all kinds of foolishness, it’s getting out of hand.

Um…. this didn’t happen on the South Side. It happened on the Northwest Side.

I think this may answer your question about why Kelly Rowland isn’t dating black men. Hell, she can shoot herself and spare her credit rating.

Facts:
Chicago murder rate 15.6 per 100,000

Detroit 46 per 100,000

St. Louis 40 per 100, 000

man thats just sad cant go anywhere without being in danger

I live in Arizona. Get it right..

And it doesn’t matter, because the murder numbers will be WAY higher this year, everyday people die in Chicago and the way it looks, you all can’t stop it…

The pres/first lady are from there, cleaning up Chicago, should’ve been a priority. That’s why you guys lost the bid for the Olympics…Oh, well…

Other statistics, same thing, if a place is violent, maybe you should move…And not ALL cities/suburbs are violent…

The ones I always hear negative things about is : Louisiana, Chicago, Philly (not so much anymore), Detroit, New York and New Jersey….

And maybe if “kemsy”, hadn’t disrespected me, they wouldn’t have been disrespected in return..Although, it doesn’t surprise me, coming from a killer state, look at the attitudes, coming out of there…

Now a days, we can’t work on “OUR” communities, parents aren’t involved and the ones that need guidance don’t get it from home. People get mad if you see their child messing up and speak to the about it…They fly way off the handle…SO, I keep to myself (except for family) and don;t bother with everyone’s kids…People are always looking for a lawsuit…That’s just the way it is..Then the parents don’t take any responsbility for their kids… Otherwise, why do all these horrible things continue to happen?? If you can’t feed them and aren’t going to take care of them, not going to pay FULL attentuon to your child, then maybe you shouldn’t have children…But I digress, as long as mine make it through, all this garbage, I’m fine…

I just live in this world, I didn’t make the rules.. And trying to help someone can put you in harm’s way…

@always knew

The point of my comment is that we all need to do better. I did not suggest you were from any of these places. But, it is true that ANYTIME something violent happens in Chicago it is national news. I feel this is a way for the media to try to discredit our President. Believe me these stories will be used against him in the next campaign. I was really just trying to make a point that we need to try to help our youth.

But as you said, as selfish as it may seem, sometimes you can’t try to help because you may be put in harms way.

I don’t know what to do. I try to stay out of certain areas of the city. As much as it pains me to say it, you can’t go back. I grew up in the ‘hood but my PARENTS did not allow me to become a victim of the ‘hood mentatlity. I grew up and moved to a better part of the city, as did my parents, and you can’t force me to live there now. I have children and I don’t want them to become the nex story on CNN.

I’m just saddened by it ALL.

Apparently not or else maybe you would have won the Olympics. The negativity surrounding Chicago put y’all in the spotlight WAY before Obama was elected President. The stigma surrouding Cabrini Green and the whole thing with the gangs thrust Chi-Town in the spotlight in the 1970’s!!!

LOL. So as smart as you think you are, you’d know Rio has WAY more crime and way more TYPES of crime than Chicago does. Nonetheless, Chicago is just like anyplace else in the nation. We have the spotlight now because of the First Family and the media ATTEMPTING to bring them down from any and all angles. Don’t buy into the hype clown..

When I first moved to Chicagoland most people said to me that the Westside Stood to be the most uncouthed in the area But everytime I read or here anything crazy it most certainly involves the Southside. Stop the hate for the Westside and own up to the the violence on tne Southside and all the areas in between

sorry for the typo…stop the violence on the southside not stop tne on the southside

marquis have u ever been to chicago? the gold coast is not the only upscale neighborhood in chicago do the research like i said chicago is no different than any other major city it has its good and its bad
