1. At least the location was convenient.

WTF is wrong with people? Who brings guns to a funeral?

4. Happens in Chicago all the time

Funerals are an easy chance for a rival gang to "get even".

All the opposition is in the same place in small groups of "targets".

5. In certain areas in certain cities, things are a lot worse than for most of the rest of us.

People living in these areas, imo, have suffered too long from ruinous conditions, post-Great Society. Now, much of the power to affect the lives of people comes from increasingly institutionalized gangs.
