"They took him from the world because he was going to be somebody".

Another tragedy in a Chicago inner city, another Black life that didn't matter.

This is from the article, since no one will read it:

"They took him from the world, because he was going to be somebody," Athena said. "He was only 14. He didn't even make 16. He didn't do 18. He didn't go to college. He didn't even get to walk in school."

Rayjohn was a top student who loved to play basketball.
Police were called to the home on South Cregier Avenue and East 87th Place, where, investigators said, the shooter got away. Rayjohn's family said he was supposed to start his freshman year on Monday at Hyde Park High School.

"Like, this is crazy. He was 14. His book bag was packed for school. He was so excited to go to Hyde Park," Athena said.

Another day in Obamaville. These people vote for high crime, so why is there any shock to this kind of news?

I'd be curious to know at what time of day/night the teen was outside his home when he got shot.....I suspect it would speak volumes.
