[QUOTE="Babagounj, post: 2733605, member: 12952"] In Chicago going to funerals can get you killed . [URL='http://chicago.cbslocal.com/2017/03/21/chicago-funerals-face-threats-of-gang-violence/']Chicago Funerals Face Threats Of Gang Violence[/URL] CBS 2’s Jim Williams reports that some community leaders are calling for state lawmakers to crack down on this. While June Williams has offered comfort to the grieving at her funeral home for decades, it still didn’t prepare for her some of the things she would witness. “A gentleman went up to see his brother, who had been killed, and I’m standing at the casket, so of course, I’m thinking, ‘how touching — he’s grieving over his brother.’ And another walked up, put his arm around him and he stabbed him,” Williams said. “I have experienced going to funeral homes and churches where weapons are laid up under the seats,” crisis responder Andrew Holmes said. In today’s current state, funeral directors have to avoid wearing certain colors and to look for the safest routes to cemeteries. Some funeral directors have not only hired security, but also assigned police officers to stand outside funeral homes or churches if there is a potential for violence. [/QUOTE]
