FAFO - Vigilante Edition!

Not exactly WHERE we expected it, but exactly HOW we expected it:

• Two 14-year-old boys were seen trying to steal a car moments before someone shot them dead on the South Side yesterday afternoon.

  Chicago police said the boys were found with gunshot wounds in an alley behind the 800 block of East 89th Place around 2:27 p.m. Both were pronounced dead at the scene.

  Moments earlier, someone called 911 to report that four people were trying to steal a car in an alley behind the same block, according to CPD dispatch records. That call was followed by reports of shots fired and a person lying unconscious in the alley. First responders found the second boy lying under a vehicle. Both had suffered gunshot wounds to their heads.

  Witnesses told police that four young males had been trying to steal a gray Hyundai, the two who were killed and two others who ran away.

Given the ethnic make-up of the area and the ethnic make-up of the deceased, non-demonized, as-yet-un-convicted-and-potentially-acquitted-of-all-charges, former altar boy, ne'er-do-wells, we going to go out on a limb here and just blame white supremacy before the media, the politicians and the "revruns" sweep this one under the rug. And next Monday, the students, teachers and staff and the local elementary school will note at least two empty chairs in class...and then completely forget about it.

There are a few lessons to be learned here, and we're not talking about the dead car thieves. They're dead....they can't learn anything.
