    It's crazy for a kid that young to understand death.

    No young person has to go through life thinking about being shot or killed. So sad.

    He shouldn’t be talking like that. He should be enjoying his life. He doesn’t even look like he graduated yet. He probably just got done potty training 2 years ago.

    It’s a choice to live in East St Louis or the South side of Chicago. You want your son to have a chance, pack him up and move to the middle of no where. You can be poor anywhere.

      Terrie Granger you can collect food stamps and government assistance almost anywhere. Why do it in a war zone? They don’t have much of anything right now.

      Typical right-wing Illinois ignorance. Moving costs money and people have commitments to other people where they live.

      Dumb fool. Where was trump and your republican saviors 2 yrs ago when this was made. Your the typical rightwing wackjob. You people get all the power and assume no responsibility and then when the dems are in office blame the left. Trumptards fixed nothing for the poor in 4 yrs and blame everyone but who had the power(reps) you sound like who you criticise (poor) for being completely at fault but accepting zero responsibility. I think youve got a sheet to wear and cross to burn.
