I said the same thing to my mom, and she was like, she more than likely didn't want to move just because her daughter was now wealthy and a celebrity. Still has the same values she did before. Safety or not, it was still her neighborhood.

I feel bad for her and everything but if you're a multi-millionaire actress, why the hell are your mother, brother, and nephew on Chicago's south side?

would it really have mattered WHERE they lived? this wasn't a random incident; the suspect knows the family very well and could have easily killed them had they lived in Lincoln Park

I know that but still, the south side is too dangerous in many areas to be rich, famous, and own a home in.

I'm sure it's because that's where they're from and where their friends and family live.

If I was from East Harlem and all of a sudden became rich and famous, my family would be out of there. Why? Because I have common sense. My family would then become targets for burglary, robbery, and even kidnapping and maybe even murder. Yes, I would get my family out of that neighborhood.

Don't get me wrong, I feel horrible for her. Nobody should have to go through that.

Where this particular family in this particular situation was living is totally irrelevant as has been stated. You can try to place the blame on Jennifer Hudson and the south side if you like, but the facts are that this was not a random incident.

My question is why do women continue to bring these...men into their lives, around their children and family?

People say that about a lot of places, including Chicago in general. It's not Afghanistan. Nobody expects to get murdered. Everyone has their own threshold of tolerance but it doesn't seem totally unreasonable to me that they would live there. Do you know that particularly area very well?
