13-year-old Boy Who Spoke Against Violence Shot in Chicago

A 13-year-old boy who was part of an award-winning anti-violence campaign just a year ago was struck by a stray bullet Friday night in his Chicago neighborhood.

Zarriel Trotter underwent surgery early Saturday and remained in critical condition that afternoon at Mount Sinai Hospital.

“I don’t want to live around in my community where I got to keep on hearing and hearing people keep on getting shot, people keep on getting killed,” the seventh-grader said in the public service announcement titled “Black is Human,” The Chicago Tribune reported.

Where's the NAACP and BLM on this. Where's that thing Ashanti who couldn't wait to shove it's putrid head into the Baltimore Innocent 6 case and offer up it's useless opinion. Where are the disgusting UMES "students" who just like the rest of the liars couldn't wait to insert themselves into the rectum of the Baltimore incident? Silent as usual because the fact is this child's life means nothing to those degenerate because he was shot by another black. They are all going to hell. God sees what is in their hearts and He doesn't like it at all.

“Black is Human.”
That's so right, child. But some of the race have forgotten.

I pray he survives it is so sad that the kid with such love and hope was gunned down, I hope the one that shot him gets the death sentence or life + without the possiblility of parole.
