Sounds like they need a bit more the chastising, really everyone involved in the situation are just flat out stupid. It is 10:40 at night, in a terrible, awful neighborhood (one of the worst in the entire country) and you have a bunch of kids outside at your candy stand? That is just...mind bogglingly stupid.
But big props to the mayor for doing something about it; oh wait, all he did was point his finger and say "Shame on you!" I guess he did not learn much from Obama, he should have police hit squads out on the street 24/7 until the neighborhoods are free. (Though obama would probably send a drone to do it) ((This is satire for people that are to silly and take anything about obama far to seriously))
The mother heard shots earlier, just down the block, so she made a candy stand so all the kids would come hang out away from the shooting, apparently not realizing that bullets can go more then 20 feet.
And before you blame the guns? Chicago has some of the toughest, if not THE toughest gun laws in the country as well. Criminals will get firearms, these gun laws only make it harder for people that have a legit reason to buy a gun, period. None of these criminals are going to go to a store, put in his information, get the gun, and then go kill people with it.

"“There was already shooting in the neighborhood,” she said. “So I figured that if I set up a big tent and a candy store, it would keep the kids in the middle of the block instead of going down to the [corners] where all the activity was.”
Banks believes the shooter was a gang member targeting someone else in the crowd near the stand. She had hoped the gangs would stay away from a place meant for kids. “But they really didn’t even care…. They killed my baby.”"
This is by far the most stupid thing I have ever read in my entire life. "There is a shooting down the block, lets get all the kids together, outside, less then a block away; that should be safe"
