Chicago's growing business

[jimboky]

CHICAGO – Predatory funeral homes have been accused of cashing in on Chicago’s relentless crime wave by taking advantage of a taxpayer-funded scheme that pays $7,500 in funeral expenses for homicide victims’ families.

Advocates have accused some funeral directors of inflating prices or charging families for services they never received.

One man, accused of a trio of weapons violations, remains the only person charged in connection with the carnage wrought three weeks ago in Chicago, when 75 people were shot -- 12 fatally -- during the city's bloodiest weekend of the year.

Chicago thugs face misdemeanor charges after killing baby in stolen car crash

"On April 16th, four teenagers stole a Hyundai in Chicago. Reports of a car being stolen in Chi-Town would normally constitute nothing more than another day ending in a “Y.” But during the boys’ efforts to flee with the vehicle, they smashed into a pickup truck owned by Annelisse Rivera who was traveling with three of her children. The high-speed crash destroyed both vehicles. Rivera and her seven and fifteen-year-old daughters were seriously injured. Her six-month-old baby son Cristian Uvidia died in the hospital from damage to his skull a short while later. Compounding this tragedy is the fact that as of now, only two of the teens have been charged and they were only hit with a misdemeanor charge of criminal trespassing."
