Why are criminals randomly shooting seniors and children? Motive.
That’s what’s missing.
Why did two Black males clothed like Ninjas gun down a 70-year-old white woman in Hegewisch at 4:30 a.m. Monday?
What is that about?
It isn’t like Yvonne Ruzich stood a chance against two armed men.
According to what police told reporters, Ruzich was seated in her car speaking with someone in another car before reporting to work at Baltimore Food & Liquor Store in the 13300 block of South Baltimore Avenue when one of the shooters walked up to the driver’s side and fired.
Ruzich managed to drive off but hit a stop sign a short distance away. The shooters chased her in their car and shot at her multiple times, according to news reports.
Revenge? Money? An attempted carjacking? Hate?
Why would these men chase down a senior citizen and shoot her dead?
Because we don’t know the why, we are haunted by our own vulnerability.
There is fear and anger.
What kind of people would do such a thing to an older woman?
Have they no mothers or grandmothers? Do they really believe there will be no consequences on earth and in heaven for the evil they have done?
I get tired of people blaming poverty, lack of jobs, and community disinvestment for the “demonic acts” taking place all over our city.
It seems like killing has become some sick sport.
And while I understand why so many of you are tired of hearing about violence, ignoring the shootings won’t make them disappear.
We have to take our heads out of the sand and try to figure out why.
On the opposite side of town, the Northwest Side, an unidentified shooter or shooters killed 7-year-old Serenity Broughton and left her 6-year-old sister clinging to life when they fired at the car the girls were getting into.
According to reports, their mother was placing the girls in the back seat of a car when shots rang out.
What could be the motive for such a heinous act?
Retaliation or revenge seem far-fetched.
There must be something more going on than the often-cited block-to-block warfare between gang factions.

Serenity Broughton and Aubrey Broughton were wounded in a shooting Sunday in Belmont Central. Serenity later died.
Why we are witnessing such wanton behavior, not only against police but also against ordinary citizens?
It is as if the people behind these violent acts are trying to outdo one another.
A 67-year-old special education teacher from Evergreen Park was shot and killed on the Dan Ryan Expressway on Tuesday.
Colleagues remember Denise Huguelet as a “pure, honest, fair, and kind” soul.
Again, you ask yourself why?
Why would anyone take a random life like that?
Evergreen Park Elementary School District 124/Facebook
Denise Huguelet, a teacher in Evergreen Park, was fatally shot Tuesday on the South Side of Chicago.
Thankfully, Illinois State Police apprehended two people from a car seen speeding away from the scene and recovered a handgun.
But it will take several months, if not years, before these cases show up in court and we learn details of the crimes.
By then, whatever defense the lawyers put up will sound like excuses, and we will learn little about how these shooters became soulless.
But the people who have lived this life have the insights that might help us understand what is happening on these mean streets.
For instance, one of the best books on criminal gang behavior was written by a man who spent decades on death row before being put to death by lethal injection in 2005.
Stanley Tookie Williams was the co-founder of the notorious Crips street gang. His memoir, “Blue Rage, Black Redemption,” published in 2004, is prophetic. The book speaks directly to the situation many Black youth find themselves in today.
“Like countless other black gang members and criminals, we were unconscious accomplices in our own subjugation our own worst foes,” he wrote.
In his time on the street, Williams could see that gang conflicts once settled with a fistfight were beginning to be handled by gunfire.
“Earning a reputation through fisticuffs was being replaced by gunslinging, by youths who lacked an ability to fight and needed an equalizer. It took nerve to fight with your hands,” Williams wrote.
It is OK to ask Why.
The only thing we know for sure is these shootings are the work of cowards dangerous ones.

Mayor Lightweight, when will you turn the police department loose to do their jobs? And to stop guarding your stupid ***, what do you have to fear, these people elected YOU!
If we bring back the death penalty for murder, this insanity will stop, one way or the other.
AND make said CARRYING OUT of that sentence, WITHIN ONE YEAR of conviction, as HARSH AND INHUMANE As possible and LIVE stream it!
“It is OK to ask Why”. Why? There is no law and order, criminals are never prosecuted, the welfare system destroyed the family unit, the Democrat politicians love criminals. That answers “Why”?
Is it okay to ask “Why?”
The thugs are asking “Why NOT?”
THese are SOUL_LESS Animals, who are MORE Rabid and demented, than a DOG who has rabies.. THERE IS NO why, other than “THEY CAN!”
“Judge not by the color of one’s skin, but by the content of their character.”
I.A.W. U.S. Census & FBI (Table 43a)
Black males make up about 6% of the U.S. population but every year commit ~53% of all the murders in the U.S… Every year in the U.S. there are ~8,000 African-Americans men, women and children killed and 92% f them were killed by fellow African-Americans.
‘Black Lives Matter” ……. To Whom???
Part 1 “Why would these men chase down a senior citizen and shoot her dead?

Part 2 Your airhead Mayor is an anti-police, pro-criminal Leftist. There are few, if any, consequences for committing crime—anywhere. Chicago, along with a number of Leftist-controlled cities, are clamoring to “reform” and/or defund their police departments—tying their hands to the point that they cannot combat crime as it needs to be . Many officers have resigned because they receive no support and they can no longer do their jobs.-
BLM and Antifa openly riot, destroy property, loot—even kill—and pay no penalty —they are seemingly supported by Leftist politicians and they are allowed to walk away and do it all over again somewhere else. Leftists increasingly make gun ownership and usage in self defense by responsible gun owners a bigger crime than those committed by criminals. If you have no way to defend yourself, you are an easy target for a thrill seeker. This isn’t so hard to figure out—lawlessness is being celebrated and promoted and until our ignorant politicians start targeting criminals and building up, rather than tearing down, law enforcement—these joy ride scenarios are going to become more common.
Ever see the “Death Wish” movies? If anything stirs up real interest in doing the job you are paid to do, it is the introduction of a vigilante or two – until then it is always excuses piled upon excuses for why we can’t do this or that to provide safety and justice for the tax paying citizens.
PITY we have no REAL vigilantes, out there, PUSHING real street justice…
Because they can.! Democrats only care about criminals. If your never taught right from wrong and no Consequences for your actions ,this is what you get. Lawlessness. It’s Friday how many people will die this weekend ,while Kim and Beetlejuice look the other way ???
Exactly. WHEN FOR OVER A YEAR< they have literally been SHOWN, time and time again, CRIMINALS WILL NOT BE PUNISHED In these libtard hellholes, WHY WOULDN'T more folk BECOME criminal, and DO CRIMINAL STUFF!!
