The recent death of this Chicago teen is such a shame isnt it?

I swear it makes me want to cry. This 16 year old black male from Chicago's south side was brutally beaten to death by other teenagers because of his refusal to join a gang. What a damn shame. I swear I swear what is wrong with people. He was an honor roll student with a good head on his shoulders and was asked to join but declined the offer and it cost him his life. This story cannot be ignored, because it's a sad situation and it happens all the time actually. SOMETHING needs to be done about it.
