No Dice...

North Lawndale Shooting During Dice Game...


This sounds like old time negro mayhem...

"Around 9:45 p.m., the two were playing dice in the 1800 block of South Springfield Avenue when two men walked up and shot at them, according to Officer Antoinette Ursetti, a Chicago Police spokeswoman."

Be it the 1940's or 2015, nothing ever changes...
