Finish the Job Citizens

Witnesses jumped in after the fact:

• A 48-year-old woman fatally stabbed a 7-year-old girl on a South Side street Saturday afternoon, then was knocked unconscious by a bystander and taken into police custody, according to Chicago police and witnesses. Court records show the woman has had an outstanding felony warrant for more than 18 months.

  The girl was walking southbound in the 8600 block of South Cottage Grove Avenue shortly before noon when the woman approached her and stabbed her multiple times in the back, police said. Multiple witnesses saw the attack, and one of them knocked the woman unconscious a short distance from where the child was found, according to a witness who spoke with CWBChicago.

Why not finish the job? No to put to fine a point on it, but that part of town is notorious for non-cooperation with authorities. Why would they start now after a seven-year-old got stabbed....and killed. 

We'd actually admire the extra effort.
