Tyshawn Lee: Child's alleyway 'execution' shocks US.

"Tyshawn Lee was lured from a park into an alley and shot several times in a crime that police are calling "unfathomable". "

"When police said that a nine-year-old boy was "executed" in Chicago because of his father's gang affiliations, it provoked widespread revulsion."

But no nation wide placard waving, street protests, house burning, looting or the "could have been my son" statements?

Or perhaps we did not get that "Ferguson Unrest" like news over here?

    Both of these stories are tragic. I had not heard of the first until this thread.

    The second is breaking big this morning. I am no longer surprised.

    Neither one of those boys deserved to die like they did. My :angel2::angel2: for their families.

    Supposedly Gang Bangers shot one and stupid cops (local Marshals) the other, either way their young lives were taken away.

    The whole thing falls on the boy's hoodlum/thug father.

    Our government has no qualms about sending a missile at known terrorists in foreign countries, killing them and anybody who is with them, and criticizes those countries' inability to defend themselves adequately, without US help.

    This very same government disarms its own citizens, at every opportunity, when they are being preyed upon by neighborhood terrorists. Chicago has rigid gun control laws, already, so their normal response of making even more gun control laws against law-abiding citizens does nothing but send more sheep to the slaughter, and they have been doing this for decades. Those who apparently still trust that government to protect them are still being slaughtered in increasing numbers.

    It makes a great case for vigilante-ism. Any adult citizen in Chicago without a criminal record should be encouraged to have a gun and be offered the training to use it wisely. A government that refuses to trust its law-abiding citizens does so because it fears anything that empowers them to exist without a government leash around their neck.

    At least one Chicago citizen got the message- - - -he dropped an armed robber in his tracks a few days ago. If a lot more of these thugs start assuming room temperature, maybe things will turn around. Ballistic justice is quick, effective, and doesn't cost society to feed, clothe, and warehouse the scumbags. I sort of doubt that will happen anytime soon, though.

    This doesn't surprise me one bit--nor shock me. If the population at large wasn't kept in the dark about true criminal behavior it wouldn't surprise anyone else either.

    That article tells me nothing. I want to see the camera footage.

    Marshals are federal government fools. I'm curious to know how this went down, too.

    No, it comes down on the shooter. Even if the father is a mass murdering Nazi date raping scumbag, there is no reason to shoot his kid. None

    The kid should not have to pay for the sins of the father, ever.

    I wonder if those two "marshalls" will survive the jail environment long enough to go to trial? Surely they won't get to post bail!

    It looks like the girlfriend might have a lot more than a casual influence on what happened. Want to bet there's a little "thinking with the wrong head" involved, when all the details shake out?

    I didn't say the kid should have been killed for any reason, I was just pointing out why. The old man's gang ties.

    Fox says he is indeed a Gang Banger, he denied that earlier in an interview.

    When will the good people of Chicago go all vigilante on the gangbangers? When they're done with stringing up, shooting and/or making eunuchs out of the gang members, maybe they can move on to the politicians! Emmanuel decorating a freeway overpass like Mussolini- - - -now there's a visual!

    Things there and so many other cities and neighborhoods across the country will never improve until the people there take responsibility for the places they live, and hold their public officials accountable for their failures.
    Knowledge is essential to living freely and fully; understanding gives knowledge purpose and strength; wisdom is combining the two and applying them appropriately in words and actions.

    I both agree and disagree. It seems logical that folks would have to hold their representatives accountable for their decisions/actions, but how can folks that are not responsible enough to avoid having children before graduating high school even think about holding anybody else responsible for anything? I agree that folks make mistakes, and that they shouldn't have to 'pay' for those mistakes forever, but many these days think that others have to pay for those mistakes. Responsibility is not a word that's known widely any more.

    This isn't a 'black' thing, it's a society thing...and I think it's getting worse, not better.

    In terms of holding public officials accountable for their failures, think Baltimore and Chicago. Both cities where the officials do nothing of any worth to protect their citizens, and demonize the LEOs that are tasked with keeping the peace. Of course, the people there have the government they elected, so there's not much room to complain there.

    Sometimes peoples concept of failure or success defies logic. Think of Marion Barry, the former mayor of our nations capital. He get video taped by the FBI smoking crack and still denies it, gets convicted, spends six months in a federal prison, and then gets elected to the district council, and eventually gets elected as mayor of our nations capital again. If he hadn't died, he'd probably still be mayor.

    ^This^

    The people have to clean up their neighborhoods themselves, or loudly support their police's efforts to do it...and assist investigations and testify in court against the low-lifes. Tough to do, but it's the only way to reverse the downward spiral.

    That whole fiasco with Count Crackula is a perfect example of the kind of mindset that keeps me from talking to some of my relatives. We need a facepalm smiley.
