Sad

After Jennifer Hudson's mother and brother were found killed this weekend, they went on the search to find her nephew, Julian King.

He has reportedly been found dead 14 miles from the crime scene. His father has allegedly been in connection with these crimes.

This all occured on the Southside of Chicago. Even if this is a domestic dispute, one has to recognize that if Julian lived in a safer part of town, maybe none of this would have happened. Maybe.

Does anyone else think that part of the crime here is this deplorable, police-ignored section of town? Someone being killed in this part of the town is about as constant as rain falling in the city, and for the most part, this news is shrugged off by the media and others as "that's the Southside for you." Maybe because an Oscar-winning homegirl is involved will cause more focus on this part of the city. Maybe.
