Laura Ingraham Tears Up During Emotional Town Hall About Violence in Chicago
by Joseph A. Wulfsohn | Sep 8th, 2018, 12:02 pm 1020

Laura Ingraham stopped by Chicago earlier this week and filmed a town hall special, which aired Friday night.

Focusing on the out-of-control gang violence, Ingraham spoke with the aunt of Demetrius Griffin Jr., a 15-year-old who was murdered in 2016 after a gang tried recruiting him. He was reportedly burned alive and his remains were found in a 55-gallon drum in an alley.

Rochelle Sykes told Ingraham that his mother is “distraught” and “basically not functioning” since Demetrius was her only son.

“He wasn’t in a gang. He didn’t do drugs. What was it that he could have done so bad that a monster would take his life like that?” Sykes asked. “And two blocks from his home… We have to pass that block every time we visit my mom.”

Fix it, I saw some murder stats or something mentioned, I don't think it's the highest murders has been in that city but still troublesome.

I had a co worker several years ago that was from Minneapolis and stated that if you're a young, urban, black male, of which he was, the view is if you don't join the gang that's trying to get you to join, then they automatically consider you part of a rival gang even if you have no gang affiliation

Tribal politics. You are one of the tribe,or you are the enemy.  There is no such thing as being neutral.
