I'm not going to watch it, but I hope anyone involved is prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

That was so horrible. I couldn't really see much on the video but it's crazy. I've never seen anything like that in my life.

This stuff goes on everyday in the inner cities, its just that its so commonplace that the media rarely reports it.

I've never actually been in an inner city; well not a predominantly black one. I've lived in some seedy areas and I've seen gang violence up close but typically if you stay away from it; you're ok. I couldn't really tell much in the video because it's so shaky but did he just walk into the middle of this?

It's a good thing Chicago has draconian gun laws to keep people safe...

Good luck identifying anyone on that video. Pretty shoddy.

These punks will eventually get caught after opening their pieholes to brag about what they did.

I can't watch the video right now but I heard about it on the TV. It is horrible and I hope they are prosecuted to the fullest extent. I also read the kid was an honor student trying to do the right thing in a really bad neighborhood. These are the kinds of kids I would gladly welcome into my home and schools.
