Sometime around dawn Tuesday, Sheridan Freeman was inside a home in West Pullman when there was gunfire and the 23-year-old was shot dead, becoming the 800th homicide victim recorded in Chicago this year.(snip)

Shelton was killed on a block where there had been a shooting just the day before, in a neighborhood that is among the deadliest in Chicago despite being targeted for extra resources by City Hall.

Police have released few details about Freeman’s death. He was shot around 6:30 a.m. inside a small wood frame home in the 12000 block of South Stewart Avenue, less than a mile from where he lived.

Freeman had a 1-year-old son and was a budding videographer who would often film his brother rapping, his mother said.

“He was fun-loving, very smart and talented,” Diane Archer said. “He made videos and wanted to go do film school. But time ran out.”

A day before Freeman was shot, a 29-year-old man was wounded in a drive-by shooting while walking down the same block at 3:15 a.m., police said.

Police reported no arrests in either shooting.

Now anytime there's a shooting in the hood, they simply have an algorithm write the story

It’s always the aspiring and budding blacks in America who get shot.

The blue cities will be the focal points for civil war. Without law and order in these liberal cities, there can be no peace.

FTA:

‘Freeman had a 1-year-old son and was a budding videographer who would often film his brother rapping, his mother said.”

Sadly, this tells us a lot, in including the strong chance he was involved in a dispute over some illegal activity he was into.

In a few years and after some training he might even have had himself a blog.

Roughly equivalent to living in Afghanistan during the war. Add in drug overdoses and the rest of daily crime, and Kabul was probably a safer place.

Democrat paradise!

” a neighborhood that is among the deadliest in Chicago despite being targeted for extra resources by City Hall”

Does that mean all the social workers sent there to replace the cops ain’t working?

Used to be “yutes” and “teens” now it’s “aspiring X”.

" . . . becoming the 800th homicide victim recorded in Chicago this year."

The vast majority of the victims and the perpetrators are black (85%, according to a recent story, along with 10% Hispanic).

Meanwhile, our federal law enforcement officials continue to claim that our nation's number one security threat is "white supremacy."

How many years - NATIONWIDE! - do you need to go back until you can count up 800 victims of "white supremacy"? 10? 20? 30?

Maybe Merrick Garland and his ilk don't consider murder in black neighborhoods to be a threat to anyone's security. In fact, they probably don't, which is further proof of just how racist people like Garland are.

According to Sheridan's mother, he was a very happy boy, always smiling, and would help anybody who needed it.

As I like to say: You couldn’t fill a football stadium with all the dedicated White supremacists in this country.
