Julio Hernandez got shot in the back on May 11th. The incident happened at Morse Avenue and Paulina. Just feet from the new Field School. Just feet from St. Jeromes Church. Right under two, state of the art -school security cameras.
Yet no one is under arrest for the shooting and hardly anyone showed up to his circle prayer. Ceasefire showed up for a circle prayer, 13 members strong. That includes Sarah jane Knoy from O.N.E.
But the community members didn't show up even though they acted concerned though community - Dear Neighbor e-mails, like Michael Harrington's sent to Gary Fuschi and posted on RPR with the wrong date.
No Harrington, no gf, no other guy, no new guy, no Alderman. Could the wrong date have confused them? Maybe it was the poor promotion on a two-bit blogsite? All these men claim to want to be community leaders, yet, none of these men want to stand up and do something other than send out e-mails about these shooting from a safe environment. They didn't want to join the circle prayer. Maybe they didn't show up because it wasn't a big media case?
Was Julio Hernandez less important than Wayne Jones? How about Clyde Flowers? Where was the show of support for Julio?
Who shot Julio? Why did someone shoot Julio in the back? Does anyone care?
Blognotes: Other than the 'Broken Heart', Danelle from the United Church of Rogers Park attended. Danelle offered up a excellent prayer reading in spanish and english.

This blog is like a ritual public morning in the classical Greek theatre style with a cult of Cissian like professional mourners crying out their strained laments.
A festival of drama, wailing aloud gnashing their teeth in its grief. As if they were hired to display the passion and pain for the spectators on the sidelines.
Agonies laid bare, by exaggeration. Pathos first, it diverts one from true reflection of tragedy.
I say no more...
Oh by the way "the youth was shot...at about 3 a.m. Thursday morning." I seem to remember Craig howling a few months back all over a rape victim that shouldn't have been out at that time a night. Should this kid have been out at 3 a.m.?
Please hold the drama on this one folks.
Correction: Original date was posted incorrectly as May 11. Flyer was printed as is and I did not check date. My mistake.
