Janeal Wright says he hasnt been the same since his two friends were gunned down in 2018.
The double shooting on the West Side claimed the lives of Darius Brown and Johnathan Jeter, both 23. The absence of their laughter and generosity was heartbreaking, he recalled Wednesday. He became afraid of staying in the Austin neighborhood, wondering if he would be next.
It was monumental, that event, Wright, 26, said Wednesday. That was the first dramatic event I ever really took to heart. I didnt really heal from it.
Consumed by the gun violence on the West Side, Wright said he hadnt been paying much attention to the coronavirus pandemic, even as it hit neighborhoods around him particularly hard. He had been mostly staying at home, except to work shifts as a security guard, and decided it was time to honor Brown and Jeter with a party.

The health risk???? From getting shot?
Soooooo, how many people died?
>>for over 200 people
Everybody’s got (the bug) we could all
die any day
But before I let that happen I’ll dance
my life away
They say two thousand zero zero party
over, oops, out of time
So tonight I’m gonna party like it’s.
...
The hundreds packed into the house party
were not aware of social distancing
either, in an area hit hard
>>With us being young, us being millennials, like the mayor said, we didnt really know how severe this was
Reading that young people are not likely
to die from the virus.No, they’ll just
spread it to people in their own families
who may not be so young
Says the dead guy.
It like getting your hair cut when you closed all of the salons down
Certain groups don’t seem to be aware of the consequences of having sex left and right with anybody, unprotected. Or doing a whole lot of narcotics.
Or committing crimes.
And although it is more prevalent among minority groups it’s too prevalent among white ethnic kids also
Roxy’s and oxys and percs and Xanax and now heroin have exploded around here.
Though violent crime and thefts havent surged which is odd.
And the lie about Trump saying
put disinfectant in your veins (he
was joking) is repeated

That disgusting party was a tribute to a friend? Human depravity has no end.
This sounds like an excuse a 10 year old may come up with.
He be sorry cuz he not be knowin’.
What's a white ethnic kid?
COVID related shootings?
He has agreed to work with state Rep. LaShawn Ford, who represents parts of the West Side, on educating his community about the coronavirus. We have a president telling people to put disinfectant in your veins, Ford said, citing Trumps controversial remarks last week. I know this kid deserves a break.
If you can still get abortions then how bad can the virus really be?
