Seventeen-year-old Caleb Reed was working with voices of youth in Chicago education, aiming to transform his community and how young black men are seen and treated, but on the last day of July, someone silenced his voice.
Reed was among nine people, including another juvenile, shot and killed in weekend gun violence. He was a so-called "freedom fighter" with the group Good Kids Mad City, which had been calling for the removal of police officers from Chicago Public Schools.
"I dated him for three years and I can't believe I've got to bury my boyfriend," she said.
So she had been dating him since he was 14? Sounds like a fluff story elevating the status of a kid who was not much different than the other 8 kids shot and killed in Chicago that day.
Sad. Sad that this young man who was motivated to help his community was so mislead by BLM and Democrats that he was rushing off in the entirely wrong direction. If he’d actually wanted to help his community, he should have been helping the police to find the bad people who like to shoot up his neighborhood, instead of trying to make the police go away for good. But if you do stupid things, you win stupid prizes.

Reed was found on a sidewalk Friday afternoon with a gunshot wound to the head in the 1900 block of West Granville. No one was in custody as of Monday morning.
