Two reputed gang members were shot this afternoon at a funeral for a man who was slain on the South Side last week, with a minister at the services tweeting afterward, "This is Crazy." The two men were shot outside St. Columbanus Church in the 300 block of East 71st Street shortly before 12:30 p.m., across the street from the A.A. Rayner & Sons Funeral Home, police said. They were taken in critical condition to Stroger, according to Chicago Fire Department spokesman Will Knight. Both victims are convicted felons and known gang members, police said.

That community doesn´t seem very well organized.

I´m curious about this Rev. Corey Brooks. Looks like he might run for Jesse Jackson Jr.´s seat.

I wonder how he feels about our Lord and Savior, Barack Obama.

There seems to be an undercurrent of cynicism and hate in this community. This attitude doesn´t come from those who believe in the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

It is difficult to pray for those that won´t help themselves. Hard to feel sympathy for those who won´t do for themselves and have no problem taking from from others. Choices have consequences...big ones. They choose to live the life they do, they choose drugs, crime ridden lives, choose to live like animals, choose to live in a way that is not living, contributing, being a member of society.

The shooters did no favors -- now the taxpayers get to give them healthcare, and the shooters get away. Coulda been a 3fer or 4fer if the shootees had succumbed.

The State of Illinois should immediately reinstate the death penalty to reduce the death and injury occurring in Chicago. Reinstatement of the death penalty would seem to be a no-brainer since most of the victims in Chicago are Democrats who look like Obama.

Looked up St. Columbanus Church and found that it´s Catholic. Looked up Rev. Corey Brooks out of curiosity. (He didn´t sound like any Catholic priest I´ve ever met -- planning a run for JJJr.´s congressional seat and leaving by the side door to do a radio interview.)

Sure enough, the Reverend is not Catholic, but a bona fide "hoodologist." According to his website:

"A pastor to pastors, Pastor Brooks has ministered internationally in Asia, Africa, and South America; he is frequently called upon to teach church planting strategies, leadership and urban ministry development locally and nationally. Because of his success in urban ministry development, he has been deemed a “Hoodologist.”

So why is the Catholic Church in Chicago renting out its pulpit to hoodologists? What next? Ganstatarians?

Illinois may not have the death penalty but gangs sure do. This weekend we´ll probably hear about the shooting deaths of the suspected shooters and on and on it goes.

#15 - I also looked up St. Columbanus in Chicago, and their website says the Pastor is Father Mike Knotek. http://stcolumbanuschicago.org/mission.html

While Brooks may have "preached the funeral", he certainly isn´t a Catholic priest, and as for being a pastor, well, he´s likely a $10 pastor - e.g., $10 for the certificate.

Just exactly how is Rham going to address this problem? Will a jouralist ask the hard questions?

Ex: how did guns get into hands of gang members? How are law abiding citizens supposed to protect themselves?
What new law will you pass that will restrict my freedom, but not stop violence.

Build a wall around it. Keep emergency personnel and cops out. Don´t let them out to hospitals.Let them provide their own law enforcement, EMTs and ERs and let them work it out their own way. The Italians had this figured out 600 years ago. It´s called a ghetto...a real ghetto.

It is not clear whether the funeral was being held at the church or the funeral home which is cross the street.

In the video Rev Brooks des not mention being in church...just the "funeral."

Since eulogies are not (supposed to be) permitted in Catholic funerals, I think the writer of the article assumed it was in the church because a church happened to be there.

With the in-depth reporting and fact checking done these days I don´t trust anyone or anything I read.

BTW..this Rev. Brooks seems to be a good guy and just might make a difference if he got JJJr.s seat.

A religious group spewing what the owners of One Liberty Place call hate speech against women, whites and gays can no longer demonstrate immediately outside the building´s entrance at 16th and Chestnut Streets, a judge ruled today. The owners of One Liberty Place in Center City Philadelphia filed a lawsuit Wednesday against the Israelite School of Universal Practical Knowledge. The group is frequently seen perched on Center City street corners shouting at passersby through bullhorns. Liberty Place Retail Associates, which owns the building, has asked the state court to bar the group from gathering in front of the entrance

WASHINGTON — Schoolchildren from New Jersey shore communities battered by Superstorm Sandy will join Michelle Obama for a garden harvest next week. The White House says the first lady will also be joined Tuesday by students who helped plant the crops last month. The New Jersey students are from Union Beach Memorial School in Union Beach and Long Beach Island Grade School in Ship Bottom. Both schools were damaged in last October’s storm. Both also teach their students about healthy eating, which is one of the first lady’s causes. The students who helped plant lettuce, broccoli and various other crops

TRENTON — President Barack Obama will return to New Jersey on Tuesday to survey Hurricane Sandy recovery efforts with Gov. Chris Christie, according to a statement obtained by The Star-Ledger. The visit will mark Obama´s second trip to the shore since the storm hit about six months ago. “As residents and businesses prepare for a busy summer season, President Obama will visit the Jersey Shore with Governor Christie on Tuesday to view the ongoing recovery efforts after Hurricane Sandy devastated areas of the coastline last fall," the White House statement says.

There have been a number of new revelations this week in the ever expanding scope of the IRS scandal. However, even with so many developments in the investigation of this egregious scandal, there was extremely limited coverage of the unfolding of this affair in the morning news of many more liberal stations like ABC, NBC, and CBS. In contrast, Fox News devoted almost 15 minutes in their programming on Thursday morning’s Fox & Friends show to enlighten the public of all of the new information in the scandal. The only other station to provide any coverage

In a long-awaited speech at the National Defense University, Barack Obama claimed that the nature of international terror attacks threatening the United States has changed since Sept. 11, 2001, with ´no large-scale attacks´ on America occurring since then. But his definition of ´large-scale attacks,´ his speech made clear, doesn´t include the 2013 Boston Marathon attack that wounded hundreds, the 2012 Benghazi terror attack that injured dozens and killed four, and the 2009 attack at Fort Hood that killed 13 and injured 30. All those attacks had the potential to leave far more American bodies in their wake than they actually did.

Another major political speech, another Code Pink heckling. During President Obama‘s counterterrorism policy speech at National Defense University on Thursday afternoon, Code Pink co-founder Medea Benjamin interrupted when the topic turned to the closing of the military detention facility at Guantanamo Bay. “I’m about to address it, ma’am,” Obama said as Benjamin went off about the hunger strike currently taking hold amongst Gitmo detainees. “Why don’t you sit down? But you’ve got to let me speak.” “You are commander-in-chief! You can close Gitmo today!”

The dam protecting the IRS scandal began to crack today when Lois Lerner, the IRS official who announced, and apologized for, the improper singling out of conservative-leaning organizations by IRS employees under her command, announced through her criminal defense lawyer that she will not testify as scheduled tomorrow before the House Oversight Committee. Rather, she will assert her Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination. This marks an enormous milestone in the IRS investigation. It can now be taken as more or less established that crimes were committed by Obama administration employees. Lerner’s lawyer tried to minimize the significance

(Snip)She did make a short statement to declare her innocence, however. Lerner´s motivation was more transparent than much of what the IRS has done in connection with this controversy.

When you get right down to it, the political targeting and stalling of tax-exempt applications by the IRS was an effort to defund the Tea Party. Rick Santelli, one of the Tea Party founders and my CNBC colleague, was the first to make this point. I’ve taken it a step further: The IRS was taking the Tea Party out of play for the 2012 election, as it looked to avoid a repeat of 2010 and another Tea Party landslide.There are a lot of numbers out there.

Eva Longoria is backing up her beauty with a whole lot of brain. The actress graduated with a master´s degree Wednesday. Longoria, 38, took home a real degree (not an honorary one) in Chicano studies from Cal State Northridge, where she physically attended classes for three years, according to TMZ. "Big day today!!! Very excited to graduate for my master´s degree in Chicano studies! You´re never too old or too busy to continue your education!" the actress wrote on her Who Say site Wednesday, sharing loads of pics of her big day, posing with her family, cohorts and diploma.
