Sheridan Gorman’s Murder—and Chicago’s Silence – RealClear

"The insidious effect of local media’s near blackout of the story is not just defining deviancy down but ignoring it altogether. It’s a “shut up and take it” message by the media to the residents of Chicago – and even to the family of a young girl attending her dream school shot dead by a criminal illegal who should never have been in the city in the first place."

After decades of progressively left (D) rule, all they have to show for it is deterioration…

IL is the poster child for insanity…

Hopefully the inevitable bankruptcy of Chicago will wake up some of the people to just stop blindly pulling the blue handle.

What in the world did Loyola think they would accomplish by apologizing for the use of accurate words to describe a criminal murderer. Ridiculous. Loyola needs to grow a pair and a brain and decide that their students are the most important part of the University…not an friggin Illegal Immigrant.

Loyola is a Jesuit Catholic organization, they are big time backers of illegal immigration, they not only encourage it, but fund it as well. We pulled our kid from Catholic school in this city because we went in thinking we were going to get a conservative, diciplined education and instead we got a liberal globalist leftist cannon that would make the commies at CTU blush.

My best hope for the Gorman family is that they are able to sue Loyola and the Archdiocese for malfeasance. It’s all they really understand, $$$.

Cold, heartless, indifferent. Moral compass lost. Zero outrage. At the SOTU, AOC screams that Preident Trump and ICE killed Americans. Sheridan Gorman was an American! The liberal media simply have no hreart!

As a criminal illegal alien, you have to be criminally connected to others to get a firearm – Family, friends, etc. Medina Medina is likely part of a large collection of Venezuelan criminals in Chicago, and very likely connected to international terrorist gangs like TdA. These criminals are extactly what ICE and CBP were going after with ‘Midway Blitz’, and Pritzker, Johnson, Kwame and Democrats worked hard to stop the federal law enforcement to remove the terrorists. It’s pretty clear, Pritzker and Democrats coddle criminals and terrorists, and tell the victims and their families ‘To bad’.

And then that simpleton Mayor BJ comes out and blames Trump.

Crazy that this idiot was teaching kids not too long ago.,

Was he really though? Not for long. He took on the cush nonsense job as a ‘community organizer’ fairly quickly. I have a rather low opinion of community organizers, as the ones I’m familiar with are incapable of thinking and breathing at the same time.

You should have described “media” as “enemedia”. Do better next time.

it’s interesting that none of the comments on gun violence on this site ever mention the fact that strict gun control laws save lives so the many of the people outraged by shootings are the same one’s who directly support them.

An illegal killed two girls driving dui in Urbana recently. By your theory then is it we should outlaw cars?

Wow. Not even sure how to respond to something so incredibly stupid. The gun didn’t fire itself. An illegal immigrant who should never have been here did. Remove the Illegal Immigrant and Sheridan is still standing here. Restricting the purchase of a Gun to a law abiding citizen does nothing to curb this insanity. Removal of Illegal invaders, incarceration of criminals, support of law enforcement, removal of moron judges who release criminals…improves safety and society.

Don’t encourage them. They are more than happy to post links to The Nation, or Mother Jones, or MSNBC or whatever they call themselves now. Makes them feel like they are “following the science”.

The people of Chicago and Illinois are to blame for this poor girl’s death and the unimaginable pain caused to her family. They are to blame for all the murders in Chicago. They have acquiesced to the corruption and malfeasance for as long as I am alive. They have allowed the criminal element to exist and flourish in the city and now that criminal element owns the state and city. You all acknowledge that the state and city government is rotten from the top down, but all you do is complain and finish by saying there is nothing you can… Read more »

I live in a downstate blue liberal utopia and I recognize that my neighbors apparently approve of this when they vote rock solid blue assuring the continuation of it all. Strange people in my book but Illinois seems to have become a haven for them.

This is the Useless Chicago Media in action. If a story might harm the DNC narrative, it gets buried. Then these same Useless Chicago Media members feign outrage when they are correctly identified as ‘the enemy of the people’. This is how Illinois political animals get away with bankrupting the state right before our eyes. This is how Chicago Transit carries less and less riders while gobbling up money from the entire state so friends and pals of political animals can remain on the payroll. This is how illegal immigrants get massive piles of confiscated taxpayer cash thrown at them… Read more »

The mess that Chicago has become reflects its so-called prestigious universities, especially its media programs and NU’s School of Journalism, though they all share some responsibility for the city’s current state.
