That's two killings a week in 2008 of young kids who haven't even begun to find out what life is all about yet! This makes me ashamed to be a Chicagoan seeing this sickening statistic.
This is the most troubling news I have seen in quite a while, and maybe if the so called "community leaders" weren't so busy spewing venom in their churches and in the media towards the government, the white man, and blaming everyone everywhere but themselves for the plight the inner city children are now facing when they simply head off to school each day, they might find the time to urge their followers to become better parents who take an interest in their children's lives. A 70% fatherless children rate sure isn't helping things int he inner cities Jesse, Barack, Al and the rest of them.
Maybe they could focus more on the actions that hopefully lead towards steering these troubled kids away from gangs and the dead end, hip hopping rapping thug life that the pop culture media celebrates so openly today that leads to these poor kids being lost far to soon and so senselessly day in and day out throughout America.

Teen charged with manslaughter in death of West Side student
chicagotribune.com: "A 16-year-old youth has been charged as a juvenile with involuntary manslaughter in connection with the shooting death of another teen earlier this week on Chicago's West Side, police said.
The boy, whose name was not being released because he was not charged as an adult, was believed to have accidentally shot and killed 17-year-old Marcus Greer in the hallway of an apartment building in the South Austin neighborhood Tuesday night, authorities said.
He was expected to appear in Juvenile Court later Friday. Further details of the case were not immediately released.
Greer was the 24th Chicago Public Schools student killed this school year, and the 21st killed by gunfire, according to the school system. He is the second student from Community Christian Alternative Academy, a small, tight-knit school in the Lawndale neighborhood, killed in the last six weeks. Channon Taylor, 18, was gunned down March 8 in the same neighborhood........... continued
