Ah yes, some more of the goodness of black males in urban American cities. Plus, better yet, this heinous incident occurred in a city where gun control is arguably the tightest in the nation. Controlled by a Leftist mayor, Rahm Emanual, and in Barack Hussein Obaka’s political back yard.
Good times!
The details, from CNN.com:
Chicago Police: 9-year-old Tyshawn Lee lured into alley, shot to death
by Dana Ford
(CNN) A 9-year-old boy killed in Chicago this week was “lured” into an alley and shot in a gang-related attack, authorities said.
“Tyshawn Lee was murdered in probably the most abhorrent, cowardly, unfathomable crime that I’ve witnessed in 35 years of policing,” Chicago Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy told reporters Thursday.
The child was targeted, according to Chicago Police Superintendant Garry McCarthy, because of his “family relationship with a member of a gang.”
When asked which family member, he identified the boy’s father.
“Tyshawn’s father has ties to a certain gang that is in conflict with another gang,” McCarthy said.
Imagine that! A black gang-related matter in Chicago, and guns involved. Zounds! Here’s another shocker; you’d best sit down for this one.
The father, Pierre Stokes, is not cooperating with police.
That’s like saying, if you’re a cop going to a fight call, that “alcohol may be involved.”
This little boy, on the planet for a total of nine years, was lured into an alleyway and summarily executed with shots to the head and to the back, because a young urban black male gang member held a grudge of some unknown and stupid sort against the boy’s young urban black gang member father.
But here’s the deal. Blacks in the neighborhood aren’t interested in helping blacks in the neighborhood. They’d be labeled a “snitch” and that’s even worse than dead nine-year-old boys. So if blacks couldn’t care less about a young boy who was snuffed, much less each other, why should I object?
I don’t object. Because black lives don’t matter. Someone knows something. I’d wager a series of someones know something. But black lives — well — you know.
Simultaneously, isn’t it odd how the American Media Maggots won’t pick up this story and run with it for weeks, like they would if a Caucasoid cop happened to shoot a young black male criminal?
Forgotten about in a few days, this boy will be. Sad. Sort of. Move along, the media and the president and the politicians and the locals in the neighborhoods say. Nothing to see here. He didn’t matter to anyone, outside of a small circle of friends.
Phil Ochs would be so proud.

Truly sad, and endemic of the black on black inner city violence today…
But all those gang bangers, “Ain’t pulling the plow for the Man”, so they have that going for them. (Yes, sarcasm font needed).
I found that particularly frustrating and hypocritical when I was a Homicide detective in the 90s. Family members would excoriate me, berate me, and I would solicit for witnesses to no avail. The same people who had just taken me to task would tell me “you figure it out.” Not particularly helpful or logical. But it was street gang logic, even when it involved “loved ones.” Gang mindset trumps all.

Sadly it appears nine-year-old *Tyshawn Lee*, his mom, his dad and many of their neighbors are victims of America’s expanding and shameful **National Epidemic of Childhood Abuse and Neglect*, *Poverty**, that for more than two generations has deprived untold numbers of American kids from experiencing and enjoying a fairly happy American kid childhood with *Safe Streets* to travel and play on, is primarily responsible for filling our prisons with depressed, angry, frustrated teens and adults.
*Child Abuse and Neglect* that is primarily responsible for populating our prisons with depressed, angry, frustrated, undisciplined, unpredictable, sometimes suicidal teens and adults full of resentment for irresponsibly being introduced to a life of hardships and struggles.
**Early Childhood Abuse and Neglect** that often leads depressed, sometimes suicidal **(NY Times May 18, 2015 – Rise in Suicide by Black Children Surprises Researchers)** children to develop into depressed, angry, frustrated, unpredictable, sometimes suicidal teens and adults lacking empathy and compassion for others, though needing to vent their pent up negative emotions, often causing emotional and physical harm to peaceful people…instead of venting their anger, resentment and pain on the immature single moms and/or dads who introduced them to a life of pain and struggle by irresponsibly building a family before acquiring the practical skills, **PATIENCE** and means to successfully raise and nurture a developing young child who matures into a fairly happy responsible teen and adult with mostly fond childhood memories.
Black *(Children’s)* Lives Matter; Take Pride In Parenting; End Our National Epidemic of Child Abuse and Neglect; End Community Violence, Police Fear & Educator’s Frustrations
But I have a very important question. Why is it that, say, many Asians don’t have the problems of the blacks? Why do many Mexicans not have these problems? Mexicans have quite a number of gangs, for example. So do Asians. Why isn’t America strewn with the bodies of dead Asians and Mexicans? Or Tongans? Or Filipinos? Or Puerto Ricans? Or Middle Easterners? Instead, for another example, the greatest number of persons killed by police are Caucasoids.
What accounts for that? And why is it that these terribly oppressed persons all have cell phones, flatscreen TVs, nice and/or customized cars? You may not know that I happen to live in one of the “poorest” areas of a major California city, because my wife has had a house there for many years. I see it all. I see it every day. I know who has what, who drives what, what house they’re in and what happens when new people come into these houses.
And yes, even including my wife, I am the only Caucasoid in the neighborhood.
My question still stands. But I know the answer(s).
