Gentiles Williamson was killed in November during an East Garfield Park shooting. Reader “timmy” posted this about him:
I saw on the news that the young man killed killed had just finished Pharmacy School. Had his terminal degree (Pharm D.) was walking into a $80K + /year job on day one. Six years of college (it is an intense program) down the sewer along with his blood. A good life taken away by a mutt who could care less.
This is exactly why people who do get an education, get out with their lives (if they’re lucky) and the heck with staying in the neighborhood and trying to make it better.
Until the city has the political will to eradicate the gang and thug culture, Chicago will continue to be both the shining city on the lake in the middle of the forbidding asphalt jungle.
