Thanks DB for pointing out the obvious:

Chiraq is Chiraq because of an obscene abundance of illegal guns and a disgraceful laxity by the courts toward those who get caught with them.

This fool should have been in prison, the kind would have never been hit.

A records check shows that he had been arrested 45 times, including for weapons.

At midnight, there was a report of two people shot, a 23-year-old woman and a 7-year-old child named Amari Brown.

The boy had been rushed to a nearby hospital in the back seat of a family car, cradled in his father’s lap, a bullet wound in his chest.

“I was like, ‘You cool, I know you cool,’” the father, 29-year-old Antonio Brown, would recall telling the boy.

“Yeah, I’m cool,” the boy replied by the father’s account. “I’m cool.”

Yet for all their practice with gunshot wounds, the doctors were unable to save the boy. The father had his son’s blood vivid on his white pants when detectives approached him.

“He tells the detectives, ‘I’ve got nothing to say to you,’” a police commander told The Daily Beast.

The elder Brown presented the detectives with his lawyer’s card.

“Here, you can call him,” the father said, by the commander’s account.

Antonio Brown had a lawyer because he had an open gun case.
