The truth about babyJonylah's father(Jonathan) is coming out, via the Chicago press who has given this story a lot of ink. He was not changing her diaper when they were shot at. She was sitting in his lap while he was cruising around. He is a known gang banger, having been arrested 39 times and he was the target of the shooting. He was wounded and believed to have known who the shooter was, but wouldn't snitch undoubtedly preferring to extract his own form of vengeance. He was released from the hospital and they had the baby's funeral yesterday. A really big event, with the parents wearing matching white designer jogging suits, displaying a picture of the baby on the back of the tops that featured hoodies. Thy say it went on forever, with the grandmother reading a poem that sounded like it had been written by a rapper. SMH The city is in an ongoing state of outrage about all these killings, and are not that offended about the intense news coverage of them, knowing that "Chiraq" wouldn't be getting this negative publicity if fools would stop killing each other. Nothing seems to be able to stop the carnage. One black columnist suggested that the police start using drones to survey gang terrritories and attack offenders. As for the Steubenville, Ohio, rape case, the 16 year old victim was white, and the prosecution's case was strong because the 2 dumb-ass offenders were texting what was going on during the time of the rape and the messages were confiscated for evidence. The girl was reportedly drunk and doesn't remember anything, but her attackers incriminated themselves. It's really a big mess with sides being taken and death threats being made to the victim by defenders of the offenders. The social media has turned the younger generation into a bunch of idiots who NEVER seem to consider the consequences of their ridiculous behavior. One reason the military brass was always against women in the ranks, was because they knew that the male comrades of these female enlistees were more dangerous than the enemy. There are just some areas where women don't need to integrate. They do it at their own risk, and men stick together when problems arise. Plus women can't compete with men on a physical basis. Maybe they should create units that combine female and gay soldiers...
