Sometimes, you just have to shake your head and wonder what is going on in this world.
From the CBS Chicago: One day after a 7-year-old girl was gunned down as her mother watched
while she sold lemonade in front of her West Side home, a ministers’
group is trying to persuade people to turn over the killer.
“It’s a sad day in Chicago,” said the Rev. Ira Acree of the Leaders
Network ministry, which put up the $3,000 reward for information leading
to the arrest and conviction of the gunman who killed Heaven Sutton, 7....
Heaven had told her mother, Ashake Banks, 38, that she wanted to move
out of North Austin – which the family had called home for six months –
because of all the violence in the area.
She had just gotten her hair done for a trip to Disney World that had
been planned for next month, and was outside with her mother as they
sold lemonade, candy and snacks under a canopy set up in front of their
home. Two men opened fire around 10:40 p.m. Wednesday, and Heaven was
struck in the chest.
“I had just called Heaven. She was sitting right next to me on my shoulder. Just laying on my shoulder,” Banks said Thursday.
Banks described the horrific sight of seeing her young daughter lying dead.
“For her to die like this – 7 years old, lying on a slab cold, her
eyes just open, blood coming out her nose – I just want him to turn
himself in. That’s all that I ask of him. And I’m asking for Chicago to
help me,” she said.

Why in the world would a mother have her daughter selling lemonade at 10:40 at night and in a dangerous neighborhood.
And, as in the case of many murders and shootings in inner cities throughout the country, no one wants to get involved and come forward with information shootings and murders. Same thing in Chicago and Las Vegas. They have the no snitch rule.
In Las Vegas, on January 16, 2012, Betty Pinkney was murdered at a party in the northeast side of the Valley, by Craig and Lamb. Even though there were many people at the party she was at and people have been talking about the murder for several days after the murder, no one has come forward and identified the killer, even though the murder happened over 6 months ago. Betty would have graduated 2 weeks ago and I am sure there was at least 1 or two people at the graduation who knew what happened but are refusing to talk.
So, murders will continue to happen in the inner cities of the U.S. and the no snitch rule will still be in effect. And that is too bad for the families of Heaven and Betty. And too bad for the people who live in the inner cities because they have to put up with these crimes. And yet, most people in the inner cities just don't care.
Shameful.
