Later in the evening, around 6:54 p.m., police were keeping an eye on a location at 8519 South Muskegon Avenue. Apparently, someone was shot and killed there last night, and a large crowd was gathered for a prayer vigil.
If neighbors don't look out for each other and keep their blocks clean of falling-pants scumbags,they will also be shoot soon.Police always say:Report any criminal activities to 911.Then,why are 4-10 guys selling drugs in almost every corner or vacant buildings and nobody calls 911?Start by reporting any criminal activities before they come and shoot You too.
ReplyDeleteIf you think people don't report drug dealers on the south side you are crazy! cops have different rules for the south side. unless you are reporting a shooting they take their sweet time.
ReplyDelete"As the temperatures heat up, so does the violence in the South Chicago neighborhood."
ReplyDeleteHilarious introduction to the story. Yep, looks like the chickens have come home to roost in South Chicago! That neighborhood will make sure it gets its media shine this summer. Sad situation for all the innocent citizens there, but a even worst issue for the dispense of my hard-earned tax dollars.
