All I can say is that people suck. Warning this video, released by the local Chicago news is violent.

I lived in Chicago from 1992-95 while I was trying to make it full time in music, and I loved it. Sure there were areas you just didn't go, but by and large for a city of its size it was reasonably safe.

Now, though, you couldn't pay me enough to live within 100 miles of there, in any direction. And I am dead serious about that.

Wonder if Mayor Daley is hard at work writing legislation to ban 2x4's... Those assault pieces of wood are slaughtering children in our streets.

This really doesn't do much for one's faith in human nature, does it? Some people are just so stupid. It's not just kids either. This story was in our local news today - two grown men killing another, in a busy street in the middle of the afternoon, for £20 beer money.

The court heard how the two men admitted the attack on Mr White but said they were not in control of their actions as they were drunk.
Do they really let people off for this?

Sorry, but this posting this here seems a bit lame, imo.

Only the repeating 2x4s will be banned. Single-swing models will still be permitted.

You have faith in human nature? That's your mistake right there... And I don't say that to be snarky.

Every day tens of thousands of people are murdered or raped or persecuted for their religion, children are molested or beaten, the poor starve or die of exposure or preventable diseases, old people develop Alzheimers, babies are born with horrible birth defects etc etc. Take it all too seriously and you will go insane or commit suicide.

The most terrible thing about that whole incident is that the Fox affiliate reported it as a gang fight. That is wrong; it was an assasination of Derrion Albert because he was an honor student who would not join the local gang.

As much as I support rehabilitation, I would have a very hard time ever accepting any of these murderers back into society. Stealing a child's future is about as terrible a crime as I can imagine.
