Wrong Answer

Better to keep your mouth shut and run away:

• Two men have been charged in the slaying of a 15-year-old boy in Little Village who was shot after asking “What?” when one of them shouted a gang slogan, police and prosecutors said.
  
  Martin Miranda and Andres Guerra, both 19, are both charged with first-degree murder in the slaying of Miguel Navarrette in the 4100 block of West 30th Street about 4:50 p.m. on Jan. 26.
  
  Miranda, who is believed to have killed Navarette with three shotgun blasts, was ordered held without bail during a hearing today before Judge Adam Bourgeois Jr. Guerra is being held on $1 million bail, according to court records.

Nice work on the arrests though.

And remember, crime is down everywhere! Except where the Department has been stripping manpower for the past few years:

• Police say the four teens were in the parking lot of the McDonald's at 6740 N. Clark St. around 3:30 p.m. Wednesday when there was an argument and then gunfire. Carr was shot in the head and collapsed in a driveway next to a strip mall with a pizza restaurant, a dental office and a dollar store.
  
  A girl, about 15, was shot several times and apparently ran into a bathroom in the McDonald's, authorities said. She and an 18-year-old man shot in the lower back were taken to Presence St. Francis Hospital in Evanston in serious condition.
  
  Another 18-year-old man with a gunshot wound to the arm walked into Weiss Memorial Hospital saying he had been shot at the McDonald's, authorities said.

The usual denials of gang involvement are making the rounds, but word is that the deceased's Facebook page has numerous snapshots of guns, drugs, money and mysterious hand signals that liberals just can't figure out.
