What began as a makeshift memorial for brutally slain honor student Derrion Albert teetered toward angry chaos Monday outside Fenger High School.

About 250 neighbors, Fenger graduates and self-proclaimed community activists gathered, with many shouting at each other during the vigil called in response to the Sept. 24 mob beating that took the 16-year-old's life.

One neighborhood activist calling herself "Queen Sister" chanted through a bullhorn and led a group of people to the school's front doors, demanding to be let in. At one point, the group -- apparently angry at a local politician for not doing enough to prevent community violence -- pounded on the doors and began shouting, "You're a killer!" The politician had entered the building moments earlier.

Maybe Obama should have a sit down and a few cold Colt 45's to end the chaos. (sarc)

Someone is going to get a call from the WH...this will stop we are going to get the olympics....look for Sharpton or Jackson to show up and all of a sudden there is peace.

i feel for these people...kept on the plantation but this time by Black Politicians that use them for puppets and a backdrop to their campaigns.

The crowd blamed the politicians? When you depend on the system to raise your children you get ferril children.

[DogBarkTree]

They need to find a way to blame whitey for this killing.

A new world order sparking to life in Chicago. The Republic is over, democratic mob-rulers emerging.

A link at the bottom says he was beaten by a mob of children. These were no children! Is there no lengths the press will not stoop to to sensationalize and trivialize what happened??????????????!

They’re just doing their community organizing thing, like Obama taught them 20-odd years ago. They can hope, but nothing’s changed.

I wish the City could keep these Amish troublemakers under control. /s/

"The mayor is out fighting for the Olympics, and our youth are here fighting for their lives!" Queen Sister bellowed.

Sister, it isn't the mayor's job to raise your kids properly. Go home and start acting like a responsible parent.

"I'm not giving up another one of my children to the system," said Ava Greyer, 38, Bailey's mother.

Here's another mother not parenting or raising their kid properly. She's already had at least one other kid taken away or in trouble or something but she blames "the system" instead of herself.

Derrion had been standing near the fighting at 343 W. 111th St. when Carson and an unknown offender from the "ville" approached him

First, Derrion shouldn't have been hanging around a fight especially since earlier in the day it involved guns. Second, was he rooting and cheering them on? There had to be some reason he was chosen from the crowd. Sorry, I don't see any innocents in this.

The Olympics should fix everything. /s

ANOTHER one? oh boy.

Chicago doesn’t need any Olympic games. It needs some maximum security high schools.

Yeah, always someone else's fault.
Ain't it grand how "black america" has evolved over the last 30-40 years.
Thanks go out to LBJ, the Justice Brothers and all you bleeding heart commie-libs.

Maybe they can have Olympic street basketball there.
