Why would anybody need a baseball bat!?
A Chicago man convicted in the savage beating of an Irish exchange student, which left her unable to walk or speak, faces up to 120 years in prison when he is sentenced on Thursday.
…REDACTED, 35, was found guilty last October of bashing two young women over the head with a wooden bat and robbing them in April 2010, including Natasha McShane, then 23, a graduate student from Northern Ireland.
The attack, which took place in a neighborhood popular with young adults, brought international attention to the problem of violent crime in Chicago, the country’s third-largest city. It also stirred Chicago’s large Irish-American community, which held fundraisers on McShane’s behalf.
Note the article’s mention of “Violent Crime Problem”, see this wasn’t a “Gun Death”, so the people who are concerned about this savage attack are noting the VIOLENT CRIME, not just gun crime. Because a young woman crippled is the tragic part of the story, not the tool used!
