We live in Chicago NOW!
Guns didn;t shoot up this home and kid all by themselves. Some thug had to have hold of it. That is where to focus your anger and effort to stop this thuggery!
There has to be more, much more, to this story……………..But will the media or the authorities make the effort to tell the rest of the story?
