A "memorial" for last year's dead gang banger results in.....ANOTHER dead gang banger!
A person was killed and four others — including an 8-year-old and 10-year-old — were shot Tuesday night during a memorial for a teen on the Southeast Side, officials said.
The group was shot about 9 p.m. near East 79th Street and South Escanaba Avenue, said Fire Media Affairs spokesman Will Knight.
The 8-year-old was shot in the foot and the 10-year-old was shot in the leg.
The memorial was for a 17-year-old killed last year, officials said.
If only this could have been predicted. And prevented somehow. Maybe a small, almost secret unit of officers riding around to various parts of the city, logging and mapping all of the empty liquor bottle and dollar-store candle memorials. Then they could set up a camera and monitor the situation once the sun goes down.
And then they could call in Predator drone strikes. Honest to pete, what the hell is going on down south?
