Three teenagers have been charged with attempted murder in the shooting of a 4-year-old girl as she rode her scooter near her grandmother's home early this week, authorities said.

Laquan Waters, 18, Tyrese Pearson, 17, and Roosevelt Stevens, 15, have been charged with attempted murder in the shooting about 4:55 p.m. Monday of Khalise Weatherspoon, said Cook Count state's attorney's spokeswoman Tandra Simonton. Khalise was the fourth child age 7 or younger to be shot and wounded in Chicago in July.

Imagine if the shooters were named Billy, Don and/or Jimmy, then the national media would care.

One thing overlooked in O’Reilly’s talking points memo is the names given to these kids. Perhaps if they were given some normal names, they’d be more inclined to act normal???

Very interesting sentence buried deep in the story.

“Detectives were able to track down the suspects despite lack of cooperation from Khalise’s family in identifying the shooters, an official said today.”

I guess they did not want to give O’Reilly and the other Crackas something bad about the africanmerican community.

If as at least one media person called Trayvon Martin “a young child,” what would a 4-year old be? A new-born baby? How about the 17-year old shooter? Another “young child”?

Laquan, 18, Tyrese, 17, and Roosevelt, 15, Khalise (young victim).

Such fanciful names. But its black-on-black crime so who cares?

Jesse? Al? Quannel X? NAACP? BO? Thousands of haters sending death threat messages to Laquan, Tyrese, and Rooservelt?

Oh, wait, that was/is George Zimmerman's fate.

Black-on-black crime just doesn't register even when 3 black teenage boys shoot a little black girl.

You'd think this was Chicago or something!

Oh, wait, this is, uh,.....

Not according to one specific Ad Council radio spot that I have heard. And who is to argue with the Ad Council since it is filled with open-minded, tolerant and DIEverse liberal ideas.

You know, if they rounded up and jailed everyone in the USA name Laquan, Tyrese , and Roosevelt, violent crime would drop 15%.

My first act as POTUS would be to sign an Executive Order placing all individuals with Ebonic names under house arrest.

It is possible the family had other plans for rehabbing the bratty little sh*ts.

Khalise was the fourth child age 7 or younger to be shot and wounded in Chicago in July.

Hmmm. No wonder the highest authorities in Chicago are so adamantly opposed to the right of the people to keep and bear arms. If the commoners could fight back against the city-protected criminals, there's no telling what might happen.

In full seriousness: the people of Chicago remind me of the Palestinians: no one cares one way or a dozen others about the children.

.........I’m sure you and most freepers agree that if it is a 4 year old little innocent girl that was shot and killed, I don’t give a damn what her color was and I, for one, care! These bastards should be taken out in the street at the exact spot the little girl was and SHOT in the gut just like she was! Then they should be allowed to just lay there and die! The more people watching the better. Superbowl sized crowds preferred!

And, if the perps were white or brown or red or whatever, I would be saying EXACTLY the same thing! These guys have no right to breathe air on this earth one second longer!
