A congressman's grandson gets his head blown off for a pair of tennis shoes?

I bet CNN will be all over this.

Maybe I’ll go out on a limb and guess the murderers’ black lives mattered?

Agreed.

I oppose almost everything Danny Davis represents,
but he is a grandfather, who just lost a grandson,
over a lousy pair of shoes.

May the family find solace at this time

Until the black ‘communities’ admit they, themselves, created this culture nothing will change. It is far easier, and profitable, to blame slavery, racism, poverty, etc so it will never change.

Sadly, I share your doubts.

I fully expect the congressman to exploit this tragedy for his leftist-mantra-based political purposes. I hope and pray I am wrong, but the man is a democrat...

No Whites were involved in the production of this event.

Any claims of racism will be leveled solely to denigrate the innocent.

Probably a question why do blacks not respect each other enough. Probably because Zero did absolutely nothing to improve his hometown before screwing up the nation. Probably why the kid’s grandpa and Rahm hasn’t done anything while these little thugs have gone on a rampage with murder numbers constantly increasing in Chicago. But then you already knew that.

“Davis, who was re-elected this month to his 11th term in the 7th Congressional District and is a former Chicago alderman, was in Chicago on Friday and spoke with reporters after talking to police. He wondered how the shooter obtained the gun and said he’d continue to try to combat gun violence.”

Chicago and Illinois need more anti gun laws.

Danny Davis has been a Chicago staple since the 60’s. He, like HRC, have had plenty of time to do something about it but has done nothing but brought more chaos. You reap what you sow. And yes it is a horrible tragedy.

When there is a murder every 2 hours in Chicago and the politicians don’t want to do anything about it, I have very little sympathy when one of their own is murdered

This is obviously one of those false internet stories. Chicago has gun control. People are jumping to the conclusion that the assailants were black. Was their race reported by the media? Shame on you! More Koolaid please!
