Slain college student’s mother vows ‘fight for justice’ after illegal immigrant charged in Chicago killing

The mother of slain college student Sheridan Gorman is speaking out, vowing a "fight for justice" after the 18-year-old was allegedly murdered by an illegal immigrant earlier this month in Chicago.

Jessica Gorman delivered emotional remarks Saturday at a vigil in Yorktown Heights, New York, honoring her daughter, a Loyola University Chicago freshman whose life was cut short in what authorities describe as a sudden, violent attack.

"I want to say this gently, but honestly, as a mom. I'm angry," Jessica Gorman said. "I'm like completely heartbroken, and we are going to fight for justice for our sweet Sheridan, and we're going to fight for change."

While acknowledging that "not everyone" will see the situation the same way, Jessica Gorman underscored what she described as a universal truth shared by parents.

"At the heart of all of this, we all want the same thing — for your children and for ours to be safe, to be protected, and to come home," Jessica Gorman said. "Because, at the end of the day, that's what this is all about. All of our kids, every single one of them, protecting them, loving them, showing up for them. And that is how we honor her."

Thank you very much and God bless you.

I was at this vigil last night and there were at least 1000 people on hand. I don't live in Yorktown but the neighboring town. I can tell you they're were some pretty harsh words from the family attorney saying "Sheridan's Life Mattered" and telling everyone "we cannot let this moment pass- we MUST fight for justice" to the words said by the mother in the article.

I know about the family through others- the mother is hardcore pro-Trump and will fight like hell against the malfeasance that killed her daughter....last week i attended a "rally" held 10 minutes where Sheridan lived. The rally- in which local dim politicians spoke- was a vigil for ICE agitators shot by ICE agents who were protecting themselves. As they mourned the ICE agitators and decried the plight of immigrants in America today- i held up pictures of Sheridan- not a single dim politician mentioned her name...

The dem party, Biden, Harrris and Mayorkas should be indicted for breaking immigration law by letting 20 million illegals into the Country.

Uphill battle. It’s sad because an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. The left is naive enough to not think this through except when it’s getting ahead of conservatives. The more crime and corruption the more likely the public is to accept and surrender to what’s wrong out there.

These Rallies should be in front of judge’s homes that is the only way to stop this. Our court system is Obama controlled and will only get worse.

Sorry to tell you mam, but not a single Democrat in Chicago or even all of Illinois for that matter, give a damn about the safety of your children.

The Chicago alderwoman claims she’s the ‘real victim’ since people objected to her remarks that Sheridan was in the wrong place at the wrong time and possibly startled the killer.

Gateway Pundit:

Illegal Alien Who Murdered Chicago Student After Biden Let Him Stay in America is Severely Brain Damaged, Developmentally Disabled, Unable to Read or Write According to Attorney

If he gets in front of a lefty Chicago judge, I fear he'll be given either a light sentence or sent to a mental facility for a few years and released - back into the US, b/c Chicago is a "sanctuary city" and Illinois a "sanctuary state."

I believe the murderer should be publicly executed, quickly and without mercy.

Jessica Gorman has the moral authority of parents who bury children killed. Remember when Maureen Dowd said that about Cindy Sheehan?

I can’t even imagine spending 18 years raising a daughter, pouring my blood, sweat, and tears into shaping her to become a reponsible, caring adult, and then having her taken from me through sensless violence by someone who shouldn’t be here and who was allowed to be by corrupt politicians who benefit from letting such murderers live among us.

If a family member took justice into his or her own hands against those who caused this, how could a jury unanimously convict? What would be the argument? Law and order? Hah!

This will stop when politicians, DAs, judges, and other agents of chaos who enable these murderers are swinging from ropes. Then and only then.
