That is not far fetched in Chicago at all. Chicago cops are really fugging dirty. Look up the Austin 7.

I lived in Chicago over 40+ years mostly on the West and South side. It is not that far fetched for cops to do crazy shyt, but I would definitely assume that gang members shot those women probably over some snitching type shyt. However, the cops in Chicago are notoriously crooked and violent.
Because bullets don't have names on them.

Two mothers in Chicago have been killed in a drive-by shooting as they stood on a street corner in an effort to deter gun violence.
Chantell Grant and Andrea Stoudemire were volunteers for Mothers Against Senseless Killings and had been camped out at the corner to prevent conflict.
They were shot on Friday evening by the occupants of a blue SUV. No arrests have yet been made.
Supporters say they are shocked by the killing and will honour their memories.
"It is sacred ground, as far as we're concerned," said Mothers Against Senseless Killings (Mask) member Maria Pike, referring to the South Side Chicago street corner policed by the fallen mums.

"This was a haven that was built by moms," she told ABC 7 in Chicago. "The lack of humanity is shocking," she added.

Grant was a 26-year-old mother of four and Stoudemire was a 35-year-old mother of three.
The women were hit around 22:00 local time (03:00 GMT Saturday) while standing on West 75th Street and South Stewart Avenue in the city's violence-plagued Englewood neighbourhood.
"It is terrifying. It is heartbreaking. I haven't slept because I am trying to figure out how we can stop this," Tamar Manasseh, founder of Mask, told the Chicago Sun-Times.
"Who's next? I just keep thinking, Who's next?"
The group began occupying the corner around four years ago, and host barbeques there throughout the summer, in the hope that their constant presence will deter violence.
They have also offered counselling and guidance to community members, according to friends and activists.

A 58-year-old man who was present suffered a graze wound to his arm.
"It's too much around here," said the man, who did not wish to be identified, as he returned to the shooting scene to pay respects at an impromptu memorial.
"The older people can't come out and sit on the porch; the kids can't play," he told the Chicago Sun-Times. "It's just, wow. Everyone is scared."
Chicago Police Department spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said in a statement that the murders were under investigation, and that investigators "have no evidence that we can point to that suggests the women were the intended targets".
"We also have no evidence to the contrary," he added.

An online fundraiser with the goal of raising $5,000 to "bring these mother killers to justice", has already raised more than $8,000 (£6,500).
Authorities say 48 people were shot in Chicago over the weekend, with eight fatalities.

Rest In Peace to the mothers.
Think I asked this before about Chicago. Do they use CCTV or gunshot detection equipment out there? Demon who is motivated to go kill innocent people can't be prevented from doing it, but it's 2019 and that's the second time Black women have been targeted at the same spot. We need surveillance footage of a two block radius at the time of the shootings.

So heartbreaking that these two mothers were killed doing right by not only their families, but the community at large. Peace onto them, their children, and all who live in Chicago.

i was actually being factious
but honestly it's not entirely out of the realm of possibility
like....whats stopping them? whats stopping an alt right Richard Spencer listening cac from putting on black face and shooting up hoods?
literally nothing, since u can now listen in on police radios and know when and where they are to stay clear of getting caught
I'm not saying its that, just saying...its possible
Maybe if they put on black face that is plausible.. someone could be out there killing out of bounds for fun, but white dudes coming up from the south killing is not gonna happen...
First off they gonna stand out like a sore thumb and the no snitching code of the hood doesn't apply to them.

Gotta disagree with all of this.... you should be able to congregate anywhere in your community at any time.... it’s not like they were up to no good.... this is a good example of how a lot of black men have failed the black community

I would love to see the women photos being held up on the national stage.. they definitely heroes
Imagine if they were LGBTQ killed in the line of fire? We would never hear the end of that.
They assassinated them?
No strays?

The police are the ones doing the killings.
