Jennifer Hudson's Mother & Brother Found Dead
Sad news out of Chicago. Jennifer Hudson's mother was found dead in her Chicago home at around 3 this afternoon. Two people were found fatally shot in the South Side home. The family's church confirmed that one of the victims was 57-year-old Darnell Hudson. The identity of the other victim hasn't been confirmed yet.
Condolences to Jennifer Hudson and her family.
UPDATE: The other victim has been identified as Jennifer's brother, Jason. They were found by Jennifer's cousin. Police believe the shooting was the result of a domestic dispute. Police are reportedly looking for a man and a 7-year-old boy. (Source)
UPDATE II: The boy is Jennifer's nephew, Julian King. An Amber Alert has been issued. Police believe Julian was taken from the home. They are looking for a 1994 White Chevy Suburban with license plate: X584859. (Source)
UPDATE III: Jennifer Hudson's brother-in-law, William Balfour, was arrested by police. JHud's nephew Julian is still missing. William isn't cooperating with police or giving any kind of information. They believe William kidnapped Julian from the home after the murders. Police are still looking for Julian.
William has a long, long criminal history. He has served 7 years in prison for attempted murder.
Neighbors are saying that William and Julia had been fighting for the past two weeks over a car. They say William sold her car without her permission. (Source)

I thought we were all entitled to our opinions without being 'right' or 'wrong'? Or does that only apply to those who make the rules?

I'll say this, Britain and other European countries have far stricter gun laws than do we here in the States. Crime still exists over there but in most to be found with a gun means a mandatory five sentence. Needless to say there's a lot less death from shootings over there.

True. Crimes comitted with knives are increasing though.

I get it, Mustang,
It seems to me you're saying that there may have been gangs nonetheless but, at least, they wouldn't have guns. I'd go with that. We don't have nearly as much gun violence (have I mentioned that I've never seen a gun? Even though I understand our policemen carry them...?) And I will say that a good deal of downtown Toronto gun violence has stemmed from visiting Americans.
I am only speaking of my experiences.
And don't pshaw that Boyd gang (or their rivals) those boys could take and give a beating, dontcha know? ;p

Perhaps you could chose to read before you attack a person you do not know an who has never once entertained the thought of a discussion with you due to the probability that you could not understand and would become indignant with your own faults.
Your attitudes are disgusting.

@ Aunt Bea,
Please stop calling me ignorant and retarded, since I am neither - far from it.
--------------------------------------------------
**hands Sally her reading glasses **
I never called you retarded, and only ignorant after you attacked me. I have been on these boards for awhile, and have disagreed with alot of people, but I never attack them.
--------------------------------------------------
I'm sorry I missed the fact the you are not pro-gun but I was very intent on trying to explain that, yes the Cdn. gangs have blue or red colours - which they never had before and, you kind of have to admit that they signify specific gangs (which, I believe, originated in L.A.).
--------------------------------------------------
Gangs have been around for centuries - but for the U.S. I believe they did originate in L.A. but I'm sure I will be corrected if I am wrong.
--------------------------------------------------
We didn't have guns, before and they are, definitely, being smuggled across the border.
--------------------------------------------------
Blame your government - I blame mine. The majority of Americans are hard working and decent. I hate it when we all get lumped into the same crappy stew. I live in N.Y. - gangs are moving up here now. I don't want it or need it.
--------------------------------------------------
I'm sorry for upsetting you but we are going through a trial, right now, where a 15 year old girl was killed on December 26, 2006 - our Boxing (big sales) day, on our main street, by gang members, in a shoot-out. She didn't deserve it and it's a very upsetting and graphic trial (kids taking pictures of a dying girl on their cell phones).
--------------------------------------------------
I know it's frustrating - but I believe it lies within all of our judicial systems. Maybe if these criminals are faced with "lights out forever" they will think before they kill. But then we can open the Death Penalty agrument - and I'm too tired for that.
--------------------------------------------------
Yes, all of this arrived (gangs and guns) from the U.S. but the Canadian gangs have accepted it with alacrity.
--------------------------------------------------
Money, unfortunately is the root of all the evil -and trust me, I like money - I just don't make it my God. But behind guns, drugs, gangs, and the rest of the crap that's corrputing our lives, it's money.
--------------------------------------------------
I hate guns.

I don't hate guns, just the assholes that use them.

And all this time I thougt you were asking
"Can I thrust you "
*cries*
I think its hilarious that so many people think that having a gun in your house is actually going to protect you when the exact opposite is actually true. But why bother with silly old facts when you can just pretend you're in a movie and just shoot that bad guy! With the gun murder rates in the US compared to the rest of the developed world. Do you guys think that is just coincidence? What reason do you have for THAT MANY PEOPLE to be killed by guns in the US? Yes, everywhere has crime and murders, but NOTHING like the gun crime the US has.
And many of the guns used for murders in Toronto are traced directly back to guns sold in the southern states which have lax gun laws, and ones stolen from American homes, and this is an actual fact, not wild speculation which seems to be popular in here tonight.
Well, this flaming liberal is all for the 2nd Amendment for the simple reason that as long as wackjobs have guns out there, I want to have access to one, too. BUT there should be compulsory training and better tracking of gun registration at a federal level.
---------------
I couldn't agree more. If they ban guns, regular people like you and me are going to be the first ones to be left without anything to defend ourselves while criminals go about their business armed to the teeth. It will cost them a bit more to get them guns but make no mistake, they WILL get them.

Let me dirty up your mind.
My sentence that sighted a predisposition to hood rat shit was a tongue in cheek reference to a young man named Latarion who does "hood rat shit".
The portion that mentions proper nutrition was a reference to studies that point to hunger as a reason for children being restless in school, unable to learn, unable to succeed and in most public schools those specific children end up falling through the cracks.
Studies also point to the over abundance of sugar, processed fat, and many chemicals to issues dealing with behavior, attention span, and general physical health.

this poor girl has to deal with the fact her moms is gone....needlessly and the debate is over guns. WTF? A gun or weapon by itself is not going to kill anyone. An idiot without a weapon will also find it hard to kill anyone. Common sense, right?
Keep idiots and weapons far apart! End of problem.
Oh how can you tell an idiot? Well as we can tell, idiots make themselves easily known eventually when they open their big fat stupid mouths. And then you revoke their right to weapons and procreation.
Now why is this so complicated when it sounds so easy? Idiots abound in every country so there is no need to debate who started it or where.
I pray for Jennifer tonight because I know her world is crushed and all over an idiot.

That's sad. As for guns, I think guns are ingrained in American culture. People's major argument for having guns seems to be to protect themselves from criminals with guns. Guns can kill many instantly and easily so I can kinda see why people feel a lot more threatened by someone with a gun than with a knife.

Evil is everywhere and we can sit here and blame everyone and everything until Britney and Kevin remarry, but it's still the same.
As long as there is drugs, crime, corruption, neglect, lack of education, guns, hate, money and now I see bad nutrition, there is going to be violence.
But I do believe good wins against evil everytime and there is alot more good in the world then bad.

I don't want to have an internet flame fest with you, but yeah I do think it's (not you in particular) retarded, or at least unfair to blame the United States on the escalation of crime in Canada. You're only saying that shit because we border eachother, if you lived across the ocean you wouldn't be able to pin it on us.
The United States, Canada and Mexico all have to share one continent. Life is a bitch isn't it? I personally blame the mexicans for the influx of tacos in the United States, but I don't eat them because I know they're bad for my digestive system.
