    1. @Donald Cady Just for safety sake… Please be prepared. As we can all see
      No one in Authority is really backing the people. And to not take this threat serious – – would be a mistake. 🙏❤

  1. COPA has been invisible since the G Floyd incident -I have seen the mayor, the police chief, never COPA….

    1. Big difference is that this was a kid who had every opportunity to live a fulfilling life.

      Floyd was a pos that abandoned his family for drugs.

    1. @Emilio Razo they’re just cherry picking what stories to try and blow up and which ones to cover up. Just propaganda meant to cause race riots no big deal….

    2. @OlderG0ds thats fair. mean, where else are we going to hear the stories from though? Do you have any good, unbiased news sites I can get this stuff from?

  2. This Mayor needs to go she does nothing for her community but sit back and watch👹 I know she is not crying😂

    1. Thank u, she didn’t even bother to do anything for gang violence. Why is she making the lake green when there is other problems like gang violences.

  3. The family of Adam Toledo are seeking legal advice for possible a lawsuit against the city of Chicago.

    1. They might need legal advice for why their kid was in that situation. No seriously. That could be an issue.

    2. The boy is out after 2 a.m. and he had a handgun. there are many videos showing that is what he through out before he put his hands up…. where are the parents & Y was he not at home??

    1. @A guy trailing Philadelphia
      They just had a 16 yo shot in the neck and died
      I think they’re at 145 dead, 540 shot
      About 24 were under 18
      Damn shame

    2. @Mechs2002 criminals do not care about gun laws
      Figured politicians would have learned this from the war on drugs, we all know how that is going

    3. There’s outrage, just no media coverage. What’s as interesting is how you try to minimize police murdering a child because 80% of crime is familiar. Yet you don’t quote the white on white 80% crime stats.

    1. Well since running in the dark can kill you, all night runners must have universal background checks, and all their shoes must be registered

  4. 13
    2AM
    ARMED
    RUNNING
    CHICAGO ALLEYS

    100plus SHOOTINGS WITHIN A 2 week time and that’s a city low.

    1. May not mean anything. I remember sneaking out pretty often at a young age also and had very strict Christian parents. It’s not hard to leave without people noticing when they’re dead asleep.

    2. Please children are known to sneak out unbeknownst to their parents. Y’all truly gotta think outside of your racism sometimes

  5. The good news is the parents finally care about their son and all the money he is going to get them!

  6. “Fun isn’t something one considers when balancing the universe but this puts a smile on my face!!!!”-Thanos.
