....Joewuan Coles, 15, got caught in the crossfire Monday night. He was shot while standing outside the apartment complex....

....one of at least three teenagers shot to death over the last few months -- many of those cases still unsolved. Coles' mother hopes her son's story will be different and urges the community in Northwest Miami-Dade to break the silence.

Isn't it AMAZING. No one in the neighborhood knows ANYTHING ABOUT how this UNARMED BLACK TEEN got murdered.

No cop to blame, no citizen defending their life from an assault, none of that.....

And not a word from Al Charlatan.

Did Chicago suddenly pick up and move to Florida?

A white cop didn’t shoot him so the left doesn’t care.

Curiously... a white cop shot that black guy in South Carolina. Other than two days of new coverage, the story was dropped.

38 or so shot/killed last weekend in Chicago. And it’s been a cool spring season so far. Just WAIT until it heats up!

Why isn’t Rham Emanuel swingin’ from the chandelier shouting about all the MURDER happening on HIS WATCH?

Oh, never mind...

How did he get shot if there are no white cops around?

Pray America is waking

Clearly black lives don’t matter when taken by other blacks.

Miami cops should take a lesson from Baltimore cops and just pull back, only work those neighborhoods when absolutely required. Otherwise, let them “police” themselves.

What time did Joewann get shot? He should not have been loitering outside, but he knows his neighborhood and I don’t. Wouldn’t crossfire indicate that he was between two shooters? Were the shooters at each end of the block, or was he in the middle of the street and they were one each side. Or, if there was only one shooter, someone was aiming for him. How close was he to home? He was, after all, only 15 years old.

Not so much Chicago...

One recent demographic study stated: The largest Miami racial/ethnic groups are Hispanic (71.1%) followed by Black (17.8%) and White (9.9%).

I don’t know if that is entirely factual.
But then again, I haven’t ventured south of Okeechobee for over 20 years. And I have no intention of ever doing so in the future.

We can “stop snitching” or “stop the violence.” It’s either or.
