To the Editor:

In response to the editorial “A powerful incentive to bring about change” (Kane County Chronicle, Dec. 18) and the editorial board of the Kane County Chronicle – like a lot of people around the country, I am upset, saddened and shocked at the news of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting. What kind of person would even comprehend such an act of violence against an elementary school or anywhere for that matter?

Well, these shootings happen in Chicago every week. The numbers are at record levels (500). Where is the outrage? Where are the national media? How is the current law preventing the murder of children on the South Side of Chicago?
