The Democrats at it again:
Via MyFoxChicago: Three men were killed and at least 20 other people — including a baby girl — have been wounded in shootings on the South and West sides since Friday afternoon.
Early Sunday, a woman wailed as she looked out of her third-story apartment window at a crime scene on the street below in the North Lawndale neighborhood on the Southwest Side. Officers responding to a call of person shot about 1:25 a.m. found a 32-year-old man lying in the street near the corner of West 13th Street and South Central Park Avenue, according to Chicago Police.
The man had suffered a gunshot wound to the head and was pronounced dead at the scene, police said. Family members identified him as Fredrick Lee Blount, who has a 1-year-old daughter, a 12-year-old son and three sisters. “He was a good person, worked every day, wasn’t up to nothing,” said Blount’s father, 54-year-old Fredrick Lee Irons, adding that his family has never before been affected by gun violence. “Sundays he loved to cook. Tomorrow he would’ve been calling me to come over and barbecue with him.”
Officers at the scene covered Blount’s body with a white sheet, which could be seen lying on the ground near the 13th Street stop sign on the west side of Central Park. Residents of a large multi-unit apartment building on the corner looked out their windows while detectives investigated.
Late Friday, a double homicide happened at an Englewood neighborhood party on the South Side.
And with the shooting of a one-year-old girl, apparently the community is all of a sudden outraged – never mind the fact that children have been gettingshot in their community for quite some time now.
