Jennifer Hudson's Mother & Brother Found Dead

Sad news out of Chicago. Jennifer Hudson's mother was found dead in her Chicago home at around 3 this afternoon. Two people were found fatally shot in the South Side home. The family's church confirmed that one of the victims was 57-year-old Darnell Hudson. The identity of the other victim hasn't been confirmed yet.

Condolences to Jennifer Hudson and her family.

UPDATE: The other victim has been identified as Jennifer's brother, Jason. They were found by Jennifer's cousin. Police believe the shooting was the result of a domestic dispute. Police are reportedly looking for a man and a 7-year-old boy. (Source)

UPDATE II: The boy is Jennifer's nephew, Julian King. An Amber Alert has been issued. Police believe Julian was taken from the home. They are looking for a 1994 White Chevy Suburban with license plate: X584859. (Source)

UPDATE III: Jennifer Hudson's brother-in-law, William Balfour, was arrested by police. JHud's nephew Julian is still missing. William isn't cooperating with police or giving any kind of information. They believe William kidnapped Julian from the home after the murders. Police are still looking for Julian.

William has a long, long criminal history. He has served 7 years in prison for attempted murder.

Neighbors are saying that William and Julia had been fighting for the past two weeks over a car. They say William sold her car without her permission. (Source)

To place blame 100% on America for Canadian gang violence

Most of America's illegal guns come South and Central America and then are transported over the Mexican Border or shipped over in boats through the borders of Southern Florida.

To place blame 100% on America for Canadian gang violence is tantamount to an accusation that all Canadian youth are devoid and lacking of their own ability to posses a subculture, which in turn implies that any primary elements of Canadian culture were also forced upon the people and anything you may find culturally acceptable was not your creation, but a larger groups insistence and therefore you have no right to claim or boast about anything "good" about your country.

In short, Canada must take responsibility for their own uneducated youth who are predisposed to hood rat shit be it through genes or lack of proper nutrition.

I live in a rural area and when couples break up and the stress gets to be too much someone (almost always the man) goes for the gun.
-----------------------------
It's not always the man, and it's not always a gun. I read these news a couple of days ago about a woman in a rural area who had cut off his partner's penis AND balls with a huge half moon shaped knife. The organ couldn't be reimplanted because his family forgot about it. Thing is, violence will always get its ugly head out of our asses. Now, if it comes out with a gun or a knife, well that we don't know until it's too late. Anyway, rural areas are fun.

@ Lisa Marie

"It's unfair and frankly retarded to say that America is responsible for the rise of violent crime in Canada. As if our degenerate gun-toting gangsters snuck across the border and put their guns to the heads of your sweet little canadian boys and made them commit crime. God damm if the whole fucking world doesn't blame us for their problems."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Well, that's the first time I've ever been called 'retarded' but I'll consider the source. Yeah, that's exactly what I'm saying. The gangs, originally, came from the U.S and organized our boys into perfect little members (don't wear blue, here, and don't wear red, here or your ass is grass) and the guns are coming from the U.S. - not even a question about that. THEY ARE! Our
"not-so-sweet" Canadian boys just took the whole thing that they were offered and ran with it. They want the SUVs and the clothes and the bling that the top guys have. So, yeah, I'm not blaming Switzerland.

It's all guns because God knows murderers and robbers would be out of ways of murdering and robbing without them. They'd be at a loss and turn themselves in to jails everywhere immediately.

I live in an area where violence has been escalading for years, the gang violence is infiltrating the rural communities that never have seen gang violence before.

Kids, being killed, for nothing, for giving someone the wrong look, for wearing red, or blue, or black or green in the wrong neighborhood.

It's fucking ridiculous.

angel_i's picture

O yeah! And recently - my friend's daughter's brother (first husband) was arrested for being in a house full of guns...and was arrested two years ago for stabbing a guy in the chest.

And there was that little boy that everyone loved around here that got shot trying to hide from bullets in laneway. That was extra sad - his friends made tshirts and wore them all the time.

We've always had criminals in Canada, of course.

What we didn't have was the influx of your gangs (Crips and Bloods) and guns, until recently. They're killing innocent little kids by ricochet bullets going through windows. We never had THAT before, that's for sure.

It's gangs and drugs. They have the guns and they are getting the guns from the U.S. I blame our border guards for that.

I thought Dlisted was a liberal site. And yet, so many people are defending the ownership of guns. Christ, I'd hate to go to a conservative site!!

We used to be safe - and not very long ago. Now, we have to be careful. Because of criminals with guns, which they are getting from the U.S.

Oh, screw it, this is a useless argument to have with people who are so used to living with violence and guns and don't want to change, like Aunt Bea.

--------------------------------------------------

First of all bitch, you don't know me...so don't be running your mouth about what I want and don't want.

Go back and read what I said: I AM NOT PRO GUNS

That being said: Gangs aren't exclusive to the United States. Do your crips and bloods have and American Flag sticking out of there ass?

Drugs, guns, murder, violence, hate and ignorance is everywhere - you are proof of the last one. As for liberal or conservative - they are labels. I don't label myself or anyone else.
