CHICAGO - A 16-year-old boy has been charged with murder in connection with the death of a 73-year-old retired Chicago police officer.

Chicago Police Supt. Larry Snelling along with Chief of Detectives Antoinette Ursitti and Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx announced Monday night that the teen faces first-degree murder charges. He will be charged as an adult.

You already know the answer..

Yes we already knew.

The Black Looters Movement again?

They’ll break out the elementary school pics of him smiling, holding a football and then blame White supremacists for not funding after-school programs and other “investments” in “our community.”

[Uncle Miltie]

School to Prison pipeline.

Protecting minors from being treated as adults is contributing to this.

A Trump voter then?

The word “boy” is meant to sand off the rough edges of resentment by normal people.
In another context “boy” is a fighting word making a black person recoil in anger, a leftover from the Jim Crow days.

For me, I just saw a rerun of the Criminal Minds episode in which an 8 year old violent psychopath criminal killed children and as he was finally stopped by the agents was trying to beat a sweet little girl to death with a baseball bat in the woods.

Much worse was Henry Messner on Law and Order Special Victims “Born Psychopath.” Age 10, tortured and killed, then released as “cured” at eighteen and did much worse.

“boys”

Yup, “Teen” is the euphemism for not White.

This will be a paraphrase of on adage: 16 will get you 20 MINUTES.

“Yogi?”

The neighborhood Walmart closing is the real cause. /s

A 16-year-old boy

The compromised media has stopped referring to them as teenagers in order to garner some sympathy for the little criminals.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Yeah, it’s usually socioeconomic factors of some sort.

Only a lad
You really can’t blame him
Only a lad
Society made him
Only a lad
He’s our responsibility
Oh, oh-woah-woah

Only a lad
He really couldn’t help it
Only a lad
He didn’t wanna do it
Only a lad
He’s underprivileged and abused
Perhaps a little bit confused
Oh-oh-oh, oh-woah-woah-woah
Woah-woah-woah
Ohh, woah-woah-woah

You are correct, we do.

[No name given]

It’s them again, Yogi.

[Chgogal]

RIP Officer Neuman. You served Chicago well. You deserved better. Thank you for your service. It was and is appreciated.

I sure hope he doesn’t trip while in handcuffs to his arraignment...

Repeatedly.
