At least 5 die in Chicago shootings

CHICAGO Authorities are investigating the shooting deaths of five people in a single day of bloodshed in Chicago.

Police Officer Daniel O'Brien says Saturday's first killing occurred at around 2:15 a.m. on the city's west side when a gunman opened fire on two men who were sitting in a parked car, killing one and wounding the other.

Investigators say a few hours later, someone opened fire on three men near a South Side eatery, killing two of them and wounding the third.

Detectives were called to the scene of another shooting Saturday afternoon in which a man in his 30s and a teenager were shot to death. There had been no arrests.

Chicago's homicide count eclipsed 500 last year for the first time since 2008.

Higher casualty count than Afghanistan. It is more dangerous to live in Chicago than be a combat solider in Afghanistan. Shameful. And Chicago has the some of the toughest gun laws in America. Clearly the gun laws do not work. Arm the citizens, let them protect themselves.

Mr. Emanuel's Draconian laws are working as well as expected. Keep on disarming the law abiding and ignoring the criminals and this is what you get.

Install HD Surveillance Cameras that also records audio and live feed footage that's sent to local law enforcement, through out every neighborhood and public space in the United States. Once these violent criminals realize that they wont be able to escape or hide from their punishment because the cameras will be used to track them down, the violence on the street will stop.

Lower the age to be treated as an adult to 16

Charge violent criminals as Domestic Terrorist and gangs/mafias as Domestic Terrorist organizations.

Give murderers automatic life in prison, if someone paralyzes someone due to violence they should be paralyzed in the same manner as their victims was with surgery.

Violent criminals should not be allowed visitation, phone calls, mail, or be allowed to mingle with other inmates and they should only be allowed to eat and drink bread & water while in prison.

Maybe, you could find the two Reverends to come to Chicago to simmer things down. Reverend Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson may be able to Preach Some Sense into those that have followed Jeramiah Wright.

I think GW's preacher, Ted Haggard would be a better fit. No pun intended.

Jesse is already there, he lives in Chicago, but has not done anything about this. Al is wondering on the East coast in a daze. The thing is though, Jesse and Al won't get involved in this unless its a thing between blacks and whites, this Chicago action is blacks killing blacks, get it ?
