Chiraq. George H.W. nailed it, "A poverty of values."
Black Lives Matter not at this time.
Police say Tyshawn’s father, Pierre Stokes, is an active member of one of those gang factions. They believe that's the reason his son was targeted. Tyshawn’s mother Karla Lee reportedly denied any gang connections within her family, but Stokes himself agrees his son was intentionally killed.
“If he wasn't a target he wouldn't have gotten hit so many times in the back and the face. I think he was a target,” said Stokes.
McCarthy said Stokes is not cooperating with the investigation. “Let me put it this way. We've tried to interview him at least twice. I can't even tell you what he said because you can't say it on TV. But he made it emphatically clear that he's not cooperating with us.”
In an interview with the Chicago Tribune, Stokes said that he didn't believe anyone would want to hurt him, but if they did, there would be no reason to harm his son instead because Stokes is easily found in the neighborhood.
He said investigators seem more interested in him than in finding who killed his son.
Good lord-—they’re now killing young children.
The father isn’t cooperating with police.
This boy didn’t have a chance from the get-go.

But my guns are the problem.
Looks like they “took their stuff to the alley”, as Rahm Emanuel suggested! Now that kid’s blood is on his hands, just for saying that.
Whatever happened to the God-fearing God-loving grandmothers in these neighborhoods?
Paging Quentin Tarantino, please pickup the Black Courtesy Phone...
Chiraq..George HW, who?
On a cold and gray Chicago mornin’,
Another little baby child is born
In the ghetto
Where is Black Lives Matter protesting the execution of this child..oh yeah almost forgot, he wasn’t killed by a cop..meanwhile the gang banging thug father refuses to cooperate with police and basically told them to F off when asked to come in and help find his son’s killer. Just shows how he regarded his own son’s life, his loyalty is to his gang NEVER his son
The killings will continue as long as this is glorified: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vMD538KjqFg
This boy’s black life did not matter!
/only half joking/
Anybody else notice that CNN is literally non-stop with “gun violence” stories as of late?
From the cop that supposedly “committed suicide”, to this shooting, to a few others it’s almost filling up every minute of their broadcasts.
Over the boulevard, through the hood
To grandmother’s house we go...
Things just ain’t what they used to be.
