Turning a Life Around
- Christina Campos had a turbulent teen-age life, moving from home to home on her own accord, friends say. But she was trying to turn things around.
The 18-year-old Chicago girl was taking courses to earn a high school diploma before she was killed early today on a Chicago street.
Campos was leaving a home on the city's Far Southeast Side about 1:15 a.m. with at least two male friends - a 17-year-old and 27-year-old - when shots were fired from a blue minivan. She was fatally struck in the back, police said.
- Though police previously said the shooting may be gang-related because at least one of her companions is a known gang member, News Affairs Sgt. Antoinette Ursitti said that the motive is unknown and police are still investigating.
A few clues for all you guys and gals trying to turn it all around:
- Be in at a reasonable hour. 1:15 a.m. isn't reasonable. 10:30 p.m. is the latest you should be out. Ever. Decent people don't usually get in trouble because decent people are in bed. They have jobs and need sleep.
- Don't hang out with gangbangers. Again, you lay down with dogs, you're going to get fleas. Or bullets in the back. Gangbangers seem to attract a lot of fleas and bullets. It's an occupational hazard.
- Don't hang out in Daley's Chicago. The Olympics take precedence over police hiring. We try to do our best with what we've got, but it isn't enough to be everywhere all the time. Daley needs money and if a bunch of people die because of his half assed priorities, well he'll get their votes anyway.
Anyone else have advice on turning it all around?

She left her house after midnight.
Rule #1: Nothing good happens after midnight.
For Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) purposes, the incident will be classified in the following order, dependent on what occurred:
1. Murder/Non-Negligent Manslaughter
2. Rape/Sexual Assault
3. Robbery
4. Aggravated Battery.
Ergo, if the victim dies from injuries sustained in a rape or robbery, it's classified as MURDER.
If the victim survives being shot during a rape and/or robbery, it is classified as a rape or robbery, in that order.
If the victim is shot, survives and the incident did NOT involve rape or robbery, it's classified as an Aggravated Battery (Assault).
Therefore , a surviving victim shot during the course of a rape and/or robbery are NOT included in CPD shooting statistics.
Chalk one up for Chalkie in 011 last night. 1047 N. Monticello. And Chalkie obviously isn't concerned with the rising prices of ammo. The "pillar of society" took 6 or 7 to center mass from what I understand.
Kids need to do chores in and out of the house. Clean up your home, clean up your neighbors home, clean up your park.
Curfew is 2200 Sunday - Thursday and 2300 Friday and Saturday. I don't know any kid willing to go in 1/2 hr early on a Friday or Saturday, other days...rack up the curfews!!! Long form...takes time to fill out properly and .....transport to a safe place....and released to an adult....AND DALEY DOESN'T MAKE ANY MONEY OFF IT!!!!
I think the media should just use a template and just fill in the dead persons name. Blah Blah was shot. Blah blahs famiy said they were just turning their lives around after being a troublemaker their whole lives. Blah blah was funny and always made people smile. blah blah was working on a cure for cancer and was really a good person.
christina went for the thug life and rolled the dice and lost-- an all to familiar story around here lately-- ther will be many more christina's this summer and all the planning and marches and missions will not be able to prevent it.
$4000 cash to every male who graduates from Marshall Orr Crain. In exchange for voluntary vasectomy.
Baby mama drama will cease to exist!
Move to the suburbs.
4 shot dead wednesday
What I want to find out is if she was passing and her attendance record of these classes she was taking to finish her Gangbanger Education Diploma (GED).
I was in Iowa City recently. Watching the news in a hotel room; some little suburb had a shooting and a po was injured. The area residents (m/1s and f/1s) were being interviewed. Several loudly noted the increase in crime in their community was due to the "BLACKS FROM CHICAGO MOVING OUT HERE." Probably just trying to turn their lives around.
LOL
In the event of your untimely demise, tell relatives not to put your 8th grade graduation photo on the news. It's overplayed and tacky.
Just another "killing" in chicago! While the corrupt mayor,and the 50 cowards who laugh at his moronic jokes, people just keep getting mowed down! No police hiring, no contract,no respect,an exempt structure better suited to sesame street what else can the tax payers expect! And the topper daley spending billions building new schools for all the illegal mexicans in his shit sanctuary city! LET ME MAKE THIS CLEAR HERE I HAVE CHILDREN IF THESE PUNKS EVER ENGAGE MY KIDS AND HURT THEM CHUCK KERSAY (CHARLES BRONSON) WILL BE A SAINT, THE PUNK GANGBAGERS WILL KNOW WHAT A "KILLING FIELD" IS!!! FLASH A GANG SIGN KISS YOUR LIFE AND YOUR MAMAS LIFE GOODBYE!!

I know there is a place in CHRIS for the victims injuries, such as shot or stabbed during the CSA. Is this info used in the Shooting stats?
If I ever did something that Jody deemed "unfitting of the uniform" and was looking at losing my job, could I use the defense that I was just starting to turn my life around?
A true lady never walks on the outside of her male companions.Thus shielding her from any rude remarks, leers or unexpected vollies. There ends the lesson.
She was a latin count gangbanger.
As usual, SCC hits it on the head...friends dont let friends hang out with gangbangers, OR hang out in daleyville ! Or at least not on hot summer nights, oops, i should have said target practice nights..

They pull up their shirt and show you the Old English lettering gouged across their stomach. "I would die for thees neighborhood."
Many times, they do.
Like there's any difference between the cracked asphalt on one side of the street or the other.
Overexcited -- all just the emotional overflow of the utterly ignorant. "Hot! Hot! Hot!" the timbales play. Empty, senseless, brainless life that costs everyone else millions of dollars and keeps them awake all night to boot.
17 people, all with "no visible means of support" and unlimited time to sleep all day and drink on their porch all night and watch that no one "walks near their car."
"Joo chow respet," they demand as they argue and smash bottles.
Yawn.
typical b s comments on the chicago breaking news site. she has a right to be wherever, whenever she wants. didn't deserve to die etc. blaming everyone else, and not taking responsibility for bad decisionmaking.
Obviously, one should not try to turn one's life around because it seems like every person who get shot was trying to turn their life around. /s
GED= Good enough edumacation!
phd+ pretty high diploma
SCC,
You asked for advice on turning it around. My advice is: whatever you do don't become an honors student or have aspirations of becoming a doctor. How many times do you hear on the news about the honors students getting killed? I always tell the gangbangers, "Thank God you're not an honors student".
I'd recommend that these kids stay at home and do their homework but their home life is probably so F'd up they can't stand being there or they're not safe there either. Want to turn your life around? Then BREAK THE CYCLE!!! Vow to get out. Vow to be better, do better. Study. Read. School is your way out. I know. It worked for me.

Yeah, I forgot that! Like in the case of the two vandals who got rear-ended while stopped in a dangerous spot on the expressway, everyone repeat after me --
"She should not get a death sentence just for partying with gangbangers in the middle of the night."
These are the same people who'll tell you, "I keel you eef you touch my car. I keel you."

No wonder the CPS test scores are so lousy -- all the honor students keep getting shot!
Wow this is a free world, decent people work 7 days a week morning hours only? You're so ridiculous, sir.
I thought you guys love freedom or something, but everyone should go to bed at 10:30 or they are expected to die...
