The attack late Thursday in the city's Back of the Yards neighborhood left three victims, including the boy, in critical condition. The others were reportedly in serious or fair condition.

The child's uncle, Julian Harris, told the Chicago Sun-Times that dreadlocked men in a gray sedan shot at him Thursday night before turning toward nearby Cornell Square Park and opening fire. He said his nephew was shot in the cheek.

"They hit the light pole next to me, but I ducked down and ran into the house," Harris said. "They've been coming round here looking for people to shoot every night, just gang-banging stuff. It's what they do."

It's what they do.

Why wasn't this splashed all over the news, with a play-by-play and all kids of speculation about AR-15s?

I'll tell you why.
a) Because doing so would reveal that gun control has the opposite effect.
b) Dead Blacks don't matter to the media, unless they're killed by Whites.
c) Because, like Detroit, Chicago has been in the hands of Democrats forever, and is a prime example of their failure.

I think all three are in play, but I would say mostly "A".

I would go with "B."

I'd say B also. Plus the dems use the "gang problem" to manipulate lib white voters into voting for them because the libs think the dems will keep them "safe" from them.

B does carry more weight but IDP is right in that all three definitely factor in.

I'd go with all 3.
