If she was a white woman she wouldn't have been arrested and neither would her son SMH
Hey black queen we love you stay blessed and get out of town
Lady if you don't sit your simple ass down somewhere leave that city alone. You're just embarrassing..
Your son is a sociopath lady! He will be a gang member soon
I can see why her son got off but she need to go to jail she started the shit and after it was done and dude was gone he was chased and she wanted to shoot somebody for laughing and got the nerve to sue the city😂😂😂
She should have got her food and left. Now what she don't know is the state will pick up those charges later. She should have called the police and let them handle it.
The fact my son is free. I dont think I'd be suing. But getting my son help. To deal with killing someone. They could have made the charges stick. For that I'd leave there. Start fresh yes it was cruel amd wrong what he did. This seems to be alot to do. After all that wow
Amen! I support.
Far as what mama should or should not have done….bottomline is , you DO NOT put your hands on a woman period. It doesn't matter what the argument was about , it was just that an argument ! The minute he drew back with all his force and PUNCHED that woman in the face..THREE times, then he deserved whatever was in store for him. He wrote a check that day, his az had to cash….period
I am in NO WAY…pro police at all….but in this particular case, they acted appropriately. The ONLY information they had is that a woman told her 14 yr old boy to shoot somebody…or that a 14yr old boy shot someone with his mothers gun… ANY police would have locked them up. The minute they got the video showing that it was elf defense they dropped the charges…..The police did nothing wrong. The ppl she needs to be suing is the family member of the dirt bag….
So she wants to profit from the police actually doing their jobs regardless of the outcome. The only healing needed to come from is her son killing someone. If you can kill someone’s and it has no effect on you, then you’re a stone cold killer
This is very sad..She got a lot of mouth and put her son in a bad situation..That man was wrong as hell because u put ur hands on no one..She has to take some accountability on her end bad parenting she could have left instead of arguing…Now her son will be traumatized and I feel bad for him he is the real victim here..Smh
She should be glad that those charges where dropped! She and her son left the scene of a crime when she knows she shouldn’t have! Son should’ve had the firearm anyway! Why did he have it! Unreal her big mouth and not acting like a lady mother caused this outcome she thought she was tough! Why argue with that clown! They both caused this problem SHE SHOULD NOT GET PAID FROM THIS! Sickening you are taught to RETREAT AND NOT ENGAGE!
She has a lot of dam nerve. She's a Greedy piece of human fecal matter She should have been thankful after the charges were dropped but nope not these type of people.
No good… The police had to investigate. What's her problem
I hope she gets every last dollar she is suing them for
I’m Hispanic and disgusted at the comments from some people or trolls. Imagine this was your Mom getting socked up by a grown ass man!? I would of let the whole Clip on that foolio. My mother done broke her back 14hrs a day to put a plate on my table and roof over my head, how dare you attack the woman a cherish more than anything in this world.
Dude deserved it and all but why does a 14 year old have a gun 😂
Her son got exactly what he deserved. Good. Another ignorant ass dude gone. She should of taught him better. I don’t feel sorry. I’m sick of it. Especially Chicago.
Thank you cook county !! Continue to do right ..bring equal rights and equal justice ❤
I've actually walked out a store, leaving my items because someone cut in front of me.
Just not worth it.
How does race play any part on this
Yes I just found out today they arrested this lady and her minor child for protecting his mother from a brutal violent physical attack. This was unbelievable when I heard the police arrested her in placed both in jail. Calling her attacker a victim and her and her son murders . I know shes so traumatized by this
How come nobody’s talking about the fact she flat out a bad parent who’s grooming a gang banging killer
Will do, keeping prayers going for this family ❤❤
Oh they don’t want too answer the key questions I see smh
They are after money being greedy looking for a come up
Why not answer that question??????
I think this needs too go to trail
Didn’t she walked out of the store?????
She should have never been arrested to begin with. She was the victim 100%
Looks like they are after money
If the court found her not guilty
Why are they looking for a pay day
Don’t seem like her and her son are sorry for taking a life
But she’s not sorry that a life has been taking
There are no winners in this case
Why is she seeking money?????
A man is dead
Girl, stop playing!! You should be seeking help for your son. He has been traumatized for life. But my question is still why did a 14 yo child have a gun on him in the first place?? That's what I can't wrap my head around. Sueing the city is only giving her son carte blanche to go out and try it again. I would certainly hope not but the law suit is horrible.
Carlishia, I pray in the mighty name of Jesus that the angels of the LORD would be encamped around and about you and your family. May God grant you peace after this traumatic situation. I pray that you are allowed to get to a place of safety away from your home so that you can process, pray and seek God for renewal of your spirit, mind, body and soul. In the mighty name of Jesus this trauma will require you to seek divine spiritual counsel. I pray that you are available and able to get healed, you and your son. May God wrap you both up in His powerful hands and protect you from the wickedness of all evil speakers, evil doers and those who feel this was not called for. God grant you to be able to find peace and not allow the spirit of Satan to cause you to lose faith in Jesus name. Amen! Much love to you because none of us would know what we would do in your shoes. But I for one thank God that you are alive. God bless you all in Jesus name!
She kept running her mouth and if that was truth about wrong food Explain it to the restaurant workers.
With the extremely violent manner in which this Degenerate had brutally attacked her, she, as the Victim, should NEVER, EVER, have been given ANY Murder Charge and a RIDICULOUS THREE MILLION DOLLAR BAIL in the first place! 😡😡 That nasty guy got EXACTLY what he deserved, and no way should she & her Son be getting Threatened by ANYBODY for Justifiably Defending themselves!
The way this entire Case was deliberately mishandled due to her Race-&-Gender is sickening, as NOBODY ever wants OUR Black Women & Children to defend THEMSELVES! Yet Whites constantly get to shoot any damn one they please without any Consequences, and I'm sick of this Double-Standard….
Therefore, I don't blame her & their Attorneys for Suing the living daylights out of the City of Chicago. It's truly the right thing to do under these horrible circumstances.
I personally want her to move FAR from that wicked area ASAP, and start a better Life for her & her Family elsewhere.
❤❤❤❤😅🎉❤🎉❤❤GOD …. yessss
💭You give someone a inch and they'll take a mile. Why is she suing, They did take someone's life!… Now she wants to get paid off that horrible incident!
📍and please keep your nasty comments to yourself, You have your way of thinking and I have mine! Thks.
I was with y'all because it was in defense, but you suing no ma'am. Be grateful that God let them dismiss the charges. Now focus on your son's mental and physical health.because the guys family could still take revenge even though he was wrong. This is not a come up situation.
Charge that lady already they chased that fella down and shot him
She sat in a jail cell for a couple weeks. That $3 million bond was why she sat in jail. She probably lost her job behind this. Lets not forget that.
Ma'am, you and your kid have a second opportunity in life; don't play with fire. If you launch a lawsuit, it will backfire on you and land you in prison with your kid. Lawyers are unconcerned. They just care about money.
I understand what her & her son went thru..But there was not one tear coming out of her eyes..
Stop the hate on black women we are the biggest victims in this wicked world. Not only at the hands of other races but our own race especially the black man.
Good because if they can't figure it out themselves from the video then we all white people want to put black people in jail and take away our children
I don't think the police took it into consideration that the man beat the woman down we could look consider her son being a good samaritan I hope we never have to do this again me as a bean women's up everywhere young men they don't respect nobody
They want to put good citizen in jail now let me have no business putting his hands on that woman like that thank God she had a son that's can stand up for her
