When is this madness going to abate?
This is why I maintain my disposition. Those who PURPORT to seek to protect the Black community from assault have their efforts nullified and exposed when it comes to "internal termite infestations". They seek to protect our people from EXTERNAL enemies that affords them the opportunity to unite Blacks against a common enemy. I have to conclude that their real objective is the UNITY of Black people NOT the protection of our interests.
The Street Pirate appears to be from the very same protected class of individuals as are the favorable politicians that preside over the institutions where this carnage is happening. In both cases the Black Establishment seeks to avoid the disharmony that will be trigger if they go after those from the inside who are killing us AND those who they assisted to put into power who are failing to deliver upon the all important Permanent Interest:
SAFE STREETS - Were our people can congregate in peace, regenerating the social fabric that holds our communities together.
A Hamilton Park neighborhood gang member has been charged with two counts of murder after he allegedly opened fire on three other gang members -- killing two -- after an argument broke out following a funeral the afternoon of June 9 on the South Side, police said.
Tirell Reed, 18, of the 7400 block of South May Street, was charged early Friday with two counts of murder, according to police who said Reed said he shot the three people because someone “disrespected’’ him.
Reed is expected to appear for a bond hearing later Friday in Cook County Criminal Court and police are not seeking anyone else in the attack.
The shooting happened at 1:32 p.m. on June 9 in the 4700 block of South Forrestville Avenue, police News Affairs Officer Veejay Zala said.
An argument broke out among four men -- all known gang members -- and one of them went “literally ballistic” and opened fire on the three others, a Wentworth District police officer said.
Initially, one man was taken to Northwestern Memorial Hospital and another to Mercy Hospital and Medical Center -- both in critical condition, Fire Media Affairs spokesman Quention Curtis said.
William Huntley, in his 20s, of an unidentified address, was pronounced dead on the scene, according to a Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office spokesman.
Frenchie Ford, 25, was pronounced dead at 2:17 p.m. June 9 at Northwestern Memorial, the medical examiner’s office spokesman said.
Autopsies preformed June 10 revealed Huntley died of multiple gunshot wounds and Ford died of a gunshot wound to the abdomen, the medical examiner’s office said. Both deaths were ruled homicides.
The third man, 29, was shot in the shoulder and was initially listed good condition at Mercy Hospital, police said.
It is unclear whose funeral the four attended or if they were from the same gang, according to police.
Wentworth Area detectives and the Gang Intelligence Unit are investigating.
