Apparently, the very same characters who have managed to get themselves so worked up over the Zimmerman verdict, seem to not be bothered in the least when it comes to the death of three teens and a five year old who were, quite literally, gunned down in Chicago and all during the same 20 days that it took the state of Florida to try George Zimmerman in the death of Trayvon Martin. Is that to say that their lives were somehow worth less because they could not be used to further some racist agenda? Just sayin.
On June 28, five-year-old Sterling Sims was killed in a double murder that also claimed the life of his mother, 31-year-old Chavonne Brown. Both were shot in their apartment, and police believe the motive was robbery.
On July 1, 16-year-old Antonio Fenner was gunned down on the sidewalk next to the body of a 32-year-old man who had gang ties. No arrests were made, and no suspects have been named. Fenner’s mother believes her son was in the wrong place at the wrong time, because no one in her family knew the other victim or what Fenner’s association was to him.
On July 3, 14-year-old Damani Henard was murdered outside a high school. His body was found next to a bicycle.
On July 9, 15-year-old Ed Cooper was shot and killed while spending time with friends at the park. A gunman got out of a black van and began firing as the boys ran away. Cooper was shot in the street and continued running to a vacant lot where he died.
And is anyone besides myself curious about where Al 'Bull Horn' Sharpton might be? Well I guess there's not much in these murders that old Al sees as being something beneficial to his racist cause. After all, you can't claim racism when it's just blacks killing other blacks, now can ya. And where are the words of wisdom from our sleazy, racist, president? After all, these terrible murders occurring right there in his hometown, and yet he has nothing to say? Most likely for the very same reasons we've heard nothing from Sharpton.
I guess I just don't understand how it is that the black mind works. That these self-proclaimed leaders of the black community can be so nonchalant about what were actual murders of truly innocent people, just seems to me to be rather callous. That they can base how best to respond only after determining which death will provide to them the highest political value seems, at least to me, to be a little sick. But obviously that's what occurred here. More can be gained from the event in Florida than from the events in Chicago.
