A 10-year-old girl was fatally shot last night while walking with her 7-year-old blind sister on the South Side.

On Sunday, a 13-year-old girl was at her aunt’s house in Humboldt Park when she was “caught in gang crossfire” and killed.

Today when I woke up, I went online to see if any arrests were made, and realized I couldn’t even find information about the little girl killed in Humboldt Park. The 10-year-old killed yesterday became the top story.

Maybe if we get the Olympics, we can offer helmets and bulletproof vests to visitors. And Jody Weis can cross his arms, looking like a real badass, in front of whatever giant stadium we construct instead of giving more money to dilapidated schools or hiring more police to control gangs. Yeah, that will fix everything.

Incredibly sad.
