A Chicago man featured in a CNN documentary about the Windy City — talking about gang violence — was shot dead at the age of 22.

Lee McCullum was featured in a 2014 episode of “Chicagoland" that focused in part on his desire to leave the high-crime Roseland neighborhood and go to college.

He was previously pulled by gang affiliation, he said, but was eventually named to the honor roll and crowned prom king at his high school.

The young man was found dead early Thursday morning with a gunshot wound to the head in the neighborhood just south of Roseland, according to Chicago Police Department Officer Kevin Quaid.

- McCullum’s death comes only weeks after his girlfriend Tiara Parks was killed on April 23.

Black on black crime is what the Black Lives Matter organization would be focusing on if they actually cared about black lives. With the increased scrutiny on police this type of violence is once again on the rise.

someone posted a stat some time ago that if you are a victim of being shot, the chances are about 50% that you either have been shot before, or, are going to be shot in the future...

I suppose the % of your friends and family that get shot probably is higher than normal as well...

Too bad we can’t get liberals to disarm poor blacks with the fervor they want to disarm the rest of society, or they’d be reduced to shooting rubber bands and squirtguns at each other.

RIP.

I recently hired three black brothers. I am now down to just one. Yesterday he was late to work as someone had done childish sabotage to his truck and poked a hole in the gas can he kept in the rear, flooding the back with gas. As he worked he related the litany of stuff that gets broken or stolen or just maliciously damaged in his all black neighborhood.

I am reminded of crabs in a bucket. If you have just one crab it will climb out. But if you have two, the one below will pull the one climbing out back down.

They all worked hard, but the others only worked long enough to get money to get high. The remaining guy has ambition and is smart, but is astonishingly uninformed on every topic imaginable.

He is exactly where the liberal power-mongers want him.

When you are poor and live in a poor neighborhood, there are two main narratives used to keep you down. There is the cultural narrative, filling your head with the idea that the poor are better than rich people, etc. (It is far more complicated, but I will leave it at that.) The other narrative is about opportunity--you can't possibly get out of poverty even if you want to, because only the rich can afford college, etc. The effect of the narratives is to discourage anyone from even trying to better themselves and get out of poverty.

BLM is focused on the money they can make off of white “guilt” and opportunistic politicians.

The government cannot disarm them without total military occupation and closing off of the neighborhoods where they live. Within that walled off ghetto would be a majority of non criminal people who would be preyed on even more viciously by the criminal class among them and would not have any means to defend themselves. The killings problem is not the guns, it is the people who use them to commit crimes. The society needs to bring back public hanging for a host of felonies and shorten the time allowed for appeals to a year or less. That will take some of the crap out of the streets permanently and ameliorate the prison phenomenon of the worst of the worst converting to Islam to have more institutional protection.

I see this as one individual, trying to make his life better, killed by another who doesn’t want that to happen. Why? Because should the first one succeed, it would only make others think he too (the shooter) would also be expected to succeed. The philosophy is “stay on the plantation, you’re making us look bad” and that is exactly where the demodummies want them.

And don’t forget the “victim” narrative that tells you the only reason you’re in that predicament to begin with is that you’re oppressed by the White Man. Therefore, you are in no way accountable for any of your own bad decisions. Whitey OWES you.

Execution for acting too white?

Ha! Considering the start of the anti-gun fervor was based on race: Minimize having the ability to fight back against the lynch mob/KKK (DEMs).

Luckily, the ignorance is fleeting...if one wishes to read, learn and listen.

Exchange "rich people" for "white man", and you pretty much have the narrative that I was raised with. It took me a long time to get past that visceral hatred I had for rich, even upper middle class, people. Had I held on to that hatred, I never would have achieved the level of success that I have.

That's too bad. I came from a blue-collar family, and my parents never begrudged people richer than they. Envied them, maybe, but didn't begrudge them what they had. From them I learned that you didn't raise yourself up by lowering someone else; instead, you elevated yourself by doing what they did.

It's the reason I refuse to buy into that class warfare bs even today.
