Teenager shot dead on birthday an hour after posting on Facebook he was glad to have made it to 17

In St.Louis, no less, the birthplace of BLM; yet NOT A PEEP ABOUT IT FROM THEM...I wonder why this is not important to them?

Possible clue:
The teenager’s last Facebook post, made an hour earlier, read: "I'm just glad I can say I made it to see 17."

Previous postings showed the high school student holding wedges of $100 bills. In one he appeared to have a hand gun in the waistband of his trousers. In another he sent a message of support to Richard Antwon Donaldson, another St Louis teenager who has been charged with the murder of a 72-year-old man during an attempted car-jacking. “Keep yo head up,” he told Donaldson.

I'm sure he was on the way to choir practice when shot....



Teenager shot dead on birthday an hour after posting on Facebook he was glad to have made it to 17


A teenager posted online that he was glad to make it to his 17th birthday after all he had been through. Little more than an hour later, he was shot dead.

Armond Latimore was killed in broad daylight while standing outside a restaurant in St Louis, Missouri, on Saturday.

His mother, Chandra Payne, said she had gone to a store to buy ice cream to go with her son’s birthday cake when she received the call that he had been shot in the head.

No word from BLM, Sharpton, "He Could Have Been My Son" Obama, or outrage ANYWHERE in the Fake News, as St.Louis shows why it has become EVEN MORE DANGEROUS THAN CHICAGO, under long term DEMOCRAT GOVERNANCE....

 

The left will ignore this because it runs counter to the narrative.

 

That's Fing sad.

 

Another teen dazzled by a life of crime dead. Where were his parents when he was drifting into a dark void?

 

Don't tempt the reaper, he enjoys irony.

 

Wonder how his parents raised him

 

Shot in the head. The odds of that happening by accident are slim, someone wanted him dead.

What kind of world, city and culture do we live in where people breathe a sigh of relief for making it to 17 years of age?

 

The one they choose.

 

More likely than not, that would be "PARENT" , as in singular.

The one constant I observed, first hand, as a drug/substance abuse parole/Halfway House counselor , for four and 1/2 years, in a medium-sized (approx. 700,000 pop.), (at the behest of the sheriff's dept. there ) , in the inmates, was NO POSITIVE MALE ROLE MODEL, aka: "a father", in the HOUSEHOLD.

This is true regardless of race ,social status, religion, ethnicity; if they went to prison, they are almost ALL LINKED IN THAT WAY....this is not just true where I was then, either...

 

When you're a gang banger

 

This just proves that BLM is about advancing a political agenda. It is not about, you know, actually helping black people.

 

Especially in a democrat-run hellhole like St.Louis….

 

a thug living that thug life. at least he seems to have known and come to grips with his likely fate.

I guess when you're born into the violent, hardscrabble hopelessness of Little-To-No-Opportunities Big Blue Utopia, life just doesn't have much value.

Taxing, regulating and robbing the jobs producers into oblivion has a cost.

 

Back when there was a lot of crime in NYC I recall how the Guardian Angels was formed to protect people on the streets and subways, it was not race based, they wanted to stop all crimes. Why doesn't BLM take a route similar to that? They could gather in the bad neighborhoods with their cell phones and take pictures of whatever crimes the observe. Granted, that will probably get some of them killed, but at least I'm spitballing here with some ideas instead of chanted for dead cops.

 

4 of the 50 most dangerous cities in the world are in the US and are owned and operated by democrats.

 

80% of black children are in single parent households.

More than 70% are born outside of marriage.

This is what is destroying the black community.

 

Why are you surprised? The fake news media didn’t even sensationalize the black cop that punched the crap out of that black guy on video!

Sad. And it’s the leftists fault. They own this shitstorm!

 

I think it's about time we declare martial law, devote federal resources to Chicago/St.Louis(and anywhere else where these criminal scum are) and immediately incarcerate all of them(this includes the KKK, Neo-Nazis.) Gangs are terror groups defined, it's time to treat them that way.

 

He embraced this lifestyle. He knew this was part of it.

 

Seriously, KKK in that shithole known as Chicago? That's funny.

 

Root cause of the problems...

 

I'm good with that...

 

Another Einstein reincarnate who surely would of gone on to contribute to the betterment of society, nothing more to be said.

 

Guilt-ridden white liberals are conspicuously absent from this thread
