Apparently only SOME black lives matter
Khai'Lee Sampson is a 7-year-old child that suffers from severe cerebral palsy caused by an asthma attack when he was 18 months old that left him without oxygen for 45 minutes. A few weeks ago, his house was burned down during the Baltimore riots, destroying all of his medical equipment that keeps him alive.
“They took everything from my child,” the boy's mother, Laporsha Lawson, told The Washington Post.
The Post listed the equipment:
The wheelchair customized for Khai’Lee’s small body, the back brace that helps him sit upright, the machine that pumps oxygen into his lungs when he stops breathing at night — all were destroyed. So were the supplies for his feeding tube, his clothes, even his new swing.
The early morning fire that destroyed the family's home was started next door at a liquor store. The flames spread to the house, causing the roof to eventually collapse. It is now condemned.
"Everybody wants justice for Freddie Gray. But what about justice for Khai’Lee?" Lawsom said, feeling "betrayed by her neighborhood."
It is reported that Lawson and Khai'Lee are living with her parents until they find another rental house. Help and donations have been pouring in from schools, centers, and neighbors, as well as the boy's father and other relatives.
Fundraisers online have surpassed $21,000, but that amount won't cover all of Khai'Lee's medical needs. Without a wheelchair, the 40-pound boy has to be carried around. "It's hard to carry him," Lawson said. "But I'm his mom. This is what I do."
The mother hopes she can get back into the home to see if anything is salvageable.
She has nice (expensive) tattoos, don't you think?
Regards,
We have no information regarding the circumstances of the mother and father in this story. Can’t you just focus on the misery caused this poor, little child by the thugs? Maybe they didn’t want to marry - or maybe they are divorced - whatever - the focus is on the misery this little tyke has to endure due to the spoiled, temper-tantrums of the thugs in Baltimore.
Should I be happy or sad that wasn’t obvious to me? I guess I just can’t think like a looter, alas. Wonder if the stuff was locked in a TL-30 safe, like it’s supposed to be.
Thank gaia that multi-millionaire one per-centers like Jesse Jackson, Sharpton, Wright, dozens of athletes, Kanye, etc. are going to ride in with checkbooks blazing to save the day.
Be Careful. Thats all
Yeah I noticed that, too. I don’t see the appeal of tattoos but to some people they are wonderful. I suppose everyone needs some luxury in their life. That would never be my choice, but as long as she is also taking care of the kid I don’t see the problem. It’s not like she knew her house would be burned down.
Joni Eareckson Tada.. wheels for the world. It is her wheelchair ministry.
7-11 doesn’t have a large amount of drugs.
What a damn shame, I know plenty of neighborhoods even if they are a majority white what would take them in, and if I was rich I would give over 100k with the caveat that except to visit family that leave the ghetto and never go back ever just so they will not live in a place with so many dreadful asswipes.
Where’s JayZ and Beyoncé?
Since they are bailing out the rioters, you’d think that they would cough up money to repair the damage they did!
“The mother hopes she can get back into the home to see if anything is salvageable.”...
“Salvageable”.........or left after the looters did their thing.

Idiotic “Black Lives Matter” protesters interrupted Commissioner Bratton while he was requesting more police officers. Amazingly, even as crime skyrockets in New York City, these idiots want less police keeping the peace.
Watch the morons here:
Thanks, Baltimore rioters, for turning Charm City into another Fergadishu.
Maryland “Freak State” PING!
Yes, this is horrible. But — color me cynical — I find it hard to believe that this mother needs citizens to donate the funds for this child’ medical needs. I suspect that all of his medical devices had been funded through taxpayer programs.
