There's an asshole who lives across the street from me who sets off fireworks about 9pm every night, at first, in the last week he's been setting them off about midnight every night. At first I thought someone was shooting until I saw all the pretty lights. I get it, you/your kids like fireworks, but we are inside the city limits where not everybody likes to hear all that racket, every fucking night.

As for Chicago, Have they thought about gun control, that would solve all their problems.

A man has been charged in the Logan Square shooting death of 10-year-old Lena Nunez Anaya.

Christopher Lara, 19, of suburban Streamwood, was arrested Monday and charged with one felony count of first-degree murder and nine felony counts of attempted first-degree murder, Chicago police said Wednesday afternoon.

About 9:40 p.m. June 27, Lena was watching TV with her brother at her grandmother’s house in the 3500 block of West Dickens Avenue when a bullet came flying through the home and hit her in her head.

In the investigation, detectives determined the shooter got out of a car before opening fire. Police arrested Lara earlier this week in Streamwood and said he drove the gunman.

“He dropped off the individual who shot and he’s the one who drove this defendant away,” Deenihan said.

Lara was charged with nine counts of attempted first-degree murder because nine other people were shot in the incident, according to police.

Deenihan said detectives would not have been able to make the arrest without the help of neighbors and their cameras. He urged more neighbors to come forward with information about the shooter.

“We know people know who discharged those weapons,” he said.
