| Hours after Janay Mcfarlane’s little sister sat just feet away as President Barack Obama spoke in Chicago Friday about the violence plaguing the nation, Mcfarlane was shot to death in North Chicago, her family and authorities said Saturday. “I really feel like somebody cut a part of my heart out,” said Mcfarlane’s mother, Angela Blakely. Mcfarlane, 18, was in North Chicago visiting friends and family. She was with a friend late Friday night when a bullet meant for a friend struck Mcfarlane, Blakely said. Mcfarlane was shot once in the head around 11:30 p.m. in an alley in

The lesson to be learned here is to always keep yourself under the umbrella of Secret Service protection 100% of the time if you want to leave Chicago alive.

Regardless of this being in Chicago,this is a crying shame.What´s even crazier is that Obama was in these people´s own backyard calling for an end to violence and his pleas were simply ignored.
How many of these shootings are over the concept of being "dissed" and having to get even or you´re considered a wimp.
Somehow,you also get street creds for having a kill on your resume.
I´m sure there´s greedy drug dealers who over cut the supply to make more money. A seasoned drug addict knows the difference right away.Are you kidding me? You can´t let somebody get away with this.

Eventually the citizens of Chicago will catch a clue and arm themselves. Once that happens the gangs will start to die in greater numbers, at the hands of normal people. And if the normal people start electing rational politicians, the dead gangsta criminals will increase.
Or they can keep living in their liberal Utopia...

One of the ways the Obama administration has gained its power, is by making excuses for bad behavior. In the case of gun violence, it is not the perpetrator´s fault, or our culture´s fault, or Hollywood´s fault for producing violent movies or manufacturers producing violent video games, or themselves, a government that encourages single parenthood by offering free contraceptives, allowing men to shirk their parental responsibilities and for protecting the right to brutally murder 55 million babies... NO, its the fault of guns. There are culture in this world and even in America THAT HAVE NO VIOLENCE. Why? Because violence is not a part of their culture, it is not seen, MARKETED, or tolerated. Mass shootings are a symptom of a SICK SOCIETY not the act of a inanimate object (gun). But Democrats want a sick society so they can accuse others of their sickness and get elected. It´s their carriers they protect, not you liberty or freedom or society´s mental health.

This is black culture. It is the same anywhere in the world where there is a concentration of blacks. You can hate me for that statement but you cannot deny the truth of it. If the blacks of Chicago did not have firearms they would probably be using machetes like their sub-Saharan brethren.

Since ownership of guns in Chicago is very difficult, and concealed carry is forbidden to the average citizen, I think if I were a resident I would strap a flamethrower on my back when I went out. Likely they haven´t thought to prohibit open carry of flamethrowers yet

Any reference to the current "quality of life" in Chicago needs to include the fact that since 1931, the voters of that city have elected a democrat as mayor.
They have established, over 82 years, a social utopia which should serve as an example for all Americans to evaluate.

The difference between Chicago and Detroit is the color of their mayors. Detroit´s murder numbers are smaller because the city is 1/3 the size it was in the 1950´s, Chicago, your time is coming. How´s your mandated CCW law coming, you have anything planned? Or are you just going to ignore it as usual.

He won a second term, but Barack Obama isn’t done fund-raising. The president will appear at a cozy reception for fewer than 65 guests with tickets priced at $32,400 per couple at the Manhattan home of movie mogul Harvey Weinstein and his designer wife Georgina Chapman on May 13, Page Six has exclusively learned.

A homeless man, oblivious to President Obama’s passing motorcade, took BB gun practice in the nearby woods and refused to drop his weapon when confronted by Connecticut cops, officials said today. Obama was speaking yesterday at the University of Hartford when police, stationed along the president’s route to Bradley International Airport, heard noises coming from a nearby wooded area around 5:50 p.m., said Bloomfield police Capt. Stephen Hajdasz. A detective from the neighboring town of Simsbury ordered the man — identified as 27-year-old Joseph Stravinskas — to drop what appeared to be a rifle, according to Hajdasz.

Samuel Locklear said Pyongyang’s nuclear and ballistic missile tests are a threat to U.S. national security and regional peace and stability. He noted that North Korea is keeping a significant percentage of combat forces in the demilitarized zone, and said the United States and South Korean forces are "ready today" to respond should the Kim Jong Un regime stage an attack. Senators pressed Locklear to elaborate on how the U.S. military

WASHINGTON —A liberal grassroots organization is running ads featuring the face of Republican Sen. Ted Cruz as it urges Americans to tell their senators to support universal background checks for gun buyers. Organizing for Action — President Barack Obama’s re-election-campaign-turned-nonprofit — started running its online ads on Facebook and in search engines today. More than nine out of 10 Americans support universal background checks, according to a recent poll by Quinnipac University. The ads come as Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., looks to move a gun-control bill to the Senate floor for a vote.

SEOUL, South Korea – North Korea on Tuesday urged all foreign companies and tourists in South Korea to evacuate, saying the two countries are on the verge of nuclear war. The new threat appeared to be an attempt to keep the region on tenterhooks over its intentions. Analysts see a direct attack on Seoul as extremely unlikely, and there are no overt signs that North Korea´s 1.2 million-man army is readying for war, let alone a nuclear one. South Korea´s military has reported missile movements on North Korea´s east coast but nothing pointed toward South Korea.

Since when has it been considered smart to tell your enemies what your plans are? Yet there on the front page of the April 8th New York Times was a story about how unnamed "American officials" were planning a "proportional" response to any North Korean attack. This was spelled in an example: If the North Koreans "shell a South Korean island that had military installations" then the South Koreans would retaliate with "a barrage of artillery of similar intensity." Whatever the merits or demerits of such a plan, what conceivable purpose can be served by telling the North Koreans

Recent research indicates that the number of people who do not consider themselves a part of an organized religion is steadily on the rise. Interestingly enough, though the number of those religiously unaffiliated is increasing, there is little to no trend in the number of those who express atheist or agnostic beliefs. People aren’t saying they don’t believe in God. They’re saying they don’t believe in religion. They are not rejecting Christ. They are rejecting the church. This begs the question, “Why are we losing our religion?”

Beginning a week of high pressure on gun control, the White House on Monday accused some Republican senators of cowardice for planning to filibuster gun legislation without allowing the full Senate to vote on President Obama’s initiatives. “If they oppose this legislation, have the courage to say so on the floor and vote no,” said White House press secretary Jay Carney. “Don’t block it. Don’t hide behind a procedural action to prevent a vote. That’s the wrong thing to do, and that’s how the president clearly feels.”

There was growing buzz over the weekend that a bipartisan agreement on gun control — a deal that would expand background checks — could hit the floor as early as this week. However, any deal could be derailed by the looming threat of a Republican filibuster involving Texas Sen. Ted Cruz. With Cruz standing proudly in the way of any gun legislation, Democrats are trying to make him pay a political price — and even a couple of high-profile Republicans are questioning his tactics.

Well, here is one video featuring North Korean exercises and Kim Jong-Un holding a gun, and we´ll say this: they certainly get points for presentation.
