The retired schoolteacher hung the first poster board in his living room long ago, a record of achievements that filled him with pride: education certificates from his native Jamaica and New York City; a 1970s magazine article about new teachers that begins, “Richard Lewis: dashing, debonair, youthful and energetic.”
Mr. Lewis is 70 now, his vitality sapped by time and, more than that, recent events. He spent much of last week showing off a second poster board in his living room in the Tilden Houses in the Brownsville section of Brooklyn. He made the board for his youngest son.
“Mr. Chanel Lewis completed Middle School,” it says across the top in black marker. “Welcome to High School.”
Below are the boy’s certificates and records of accomplishment, milestones to celebrate. Six years after that middle school graduation, though, that young man, now 20, is charged in a hideous crime that shocked New York City for its seeming randomness.

NYT was just as passionate about the Nazi Schutzstaffel.
String up the perp!
That was a pretty offensive article for the family that lost their daughter. It was completely one sided and painted him out to be this angelic alter boy with absolutely zero clue that their may be an issue. (other than the mention of the students which attend the high school).
The celebrated son chose to be a demon and kill an innocent lovely woman. Evil in return he shall and should receive. They forgot to educate him in morals and behavior. The leftist claptrap is the unwise road to and from hell.
....the father is an educator and so proud his
son completed HS....???...so HS is an achievement. Drop out rates are still way too high, thanks to
RAT controlled education system of which the proud
Dad is a part of....
...hey proud Dad, as an educator, what did you do
to stop the Grade Fixing that went on at poster boy’s HS?
If Obama had a son...
You gotta love this at the end of the article. they fall all over themselves with the details of the POS that killed her but then post this:
Correction: February 12, 2017
An earlier version of a picture caption with this article misspelled the given name of the woman who was killed while jogging in Howard Beach, Queens. She was Karina Vetrano, not Katrina.
“Chanel Lewis had no arrest record or history of violent behavior.”
Except for the fact that he told his teachers he wanted to “stab to death a bunch of women”.
“charged in a hideous crime that shocked New York City for its seeming randomness”
Random?
Earlier articles mentioned that he hated white people living in the neighborhood. (Didn’t read this article, not sure it was mentioned here).
But that isn’t a hate crime or anything. /s
In another article, I read the accused would not speak to white cop, only a black one.
Sympathy for the Devil.
I like to see the Slimes publish this s sort of thing. Every time they do they alienate even more anyone who isn’t a total whitey hating racist. They show their true colors for all to see.
What a mess. So, we’re supposed to feel sorry for the family of the psychotic?
The hatred of white people, particularly women, was at the heart of this crime from what else I’ve read. Now the murderer is painted as somehow admirable.
Dig the Obama poster in daddy’s little ghetto dump.
I noticed two magazines with Obama's face on it in his father's collection of his son's items. And they said his son was God fearing but I wonder which god they're referring to. I've heard some Muslims refer to Allah as God too. Doesn't make any sense unless the Barack demon took gold of his soul and possessed him.../s
Sounds like a Muslim to me...
