How Tall Are You?

We've heard of some dumb reasons to shoot someone, but this is easily top ten:
  • Two teenage boys were shot to death after asking the suspect how tall he was when they were buying candy from a store.

    The incident occurred at approximately 5 p.m. on Saturday June 20 after three teenage boys went to a store in South Chicago to buy some candy and ended up having a brief encounter with 19-year-old Laroy Battle inside the establishment.

    “The victims were walking into the store, they saw Battle, he was standing in line while at the store and the victims commented that Battle, he was quite tall, and they asked him how tall he was and hoped to be that tall someday,” said Deputy Chief of Detectives Brendan Deenihan “Unfortunately, we will never even see the full growth of these poor children.”

    The three teenage boys then left the store and proceeded to walk home together when police say that Battle approached them and began shooting.
And surprise surprise:
  • Police said he had a previous conviction for aggravated unlawful use of a weapon, for which he received probation.
Well, he's 19 now, so that previous conviction must have been in adult court seeing as how it was public knowledge. Another great job by the office of the perpetually offended Crimesha. Two more bodies added to her death count.

UPDATE: He's 6'3" or 6'4"  You can read the article and find out.

My question is this: How tall was he? Just asking - might add some perspective.

Forgive me if I take stories like this with a grain of salt. Maybe it's because of how many times I've seen robbery cases where a guy "hit me out of nowhere and stole my stuff!" develop into drug deals gone bad after investigation.

Its just non stop bullshit with Groot and Fox . These people have to go NOW. What the hell is wrong with the citizens of this place ? How the living fuck can people just sit back and watch these fools help to steal the lives from so many young black kids. There should be riots and looting at their homes.

And Jesus H. Christ, Deenihan!! How on earth do you look at yourself in the mirror after babbling such drivel? Won’t get to see the “full growth of these poor children”. ROTFLMFAO!!! I think we all knew where these kids were heading.

"The victims were walking into the store, they saw Battle, he was standing in line while at the store and the victims commented that Battle, he was quite tall, and they asked him how tall he was and hoped to be that tall someday..."

Oh, man. Long ago, I was a little kid walking around the block, and here came a bigger, heavier, older kid whom I was scared of for good reason. It's called "the neighborhood bully." I tried complimenting my way past him, and unfortunately I still remember what BS I made up to flatter this violent IQ 70.

That's OK - it worked that time, but about a week later he threw me down a flight of marble stairs unprovoked and I got a bad concussion.

I see where "tall" came from. They were trying, too. Didn't work either. That "male" was a real s__tbag - everything centered around the belt and belt buckle of the saggin torn-up pants, gun getting caught on the dangling everything- and those dead eyes.

...and so often when you see one like that you're looking at the finished product. Never going anywhere except jail or grave.

Stay safe.

The tagline is what about the children that’s what the Democrats say! OK I like the Democrats what about the children what in the fuck are you going to do about all of these children being shot and killed? What about all the innocent blood spread everywhere due to your policies? Do you any of y’all let the Democrats go to the funeral homes to the hospitals to check on these people the families, then offer apologies because you’re such an idiot and you allow this to happen you are all the chief executive officers how do you city of Chicago, cook county, State of Illinois absolutely positively every last one of you are complete failures other failures, if you weren’t working for the city county and state if you worked in regular industry your ass would’ve been throwing out a long time ago, would be nice if the taxpayers the law abiding would be in together go to city hall county building state house drag every last one of you outside, Throw y’all on the street everyone elected Democrats that have caused all of this all the blood shed all the tears directly at your doorstep and you do nothing!

Sorry to say my mistake it’s not that you do nothing what do you do do is further go after the police officers work day in and day out tirelessly, to try to help some people but you bastardized them that is what you do every last one is your scam along with your compliant media which is part and parcel of the Democratic Party, the people on the titanic had a better chance, And when you start taxing the pensions a lot of people are in a bubble about staying here or going I was just out with a few retirees the other day they said it happens we’re out and that includes myself the final death blow to the city of Chicago State Illinois crooks county!

More blood on Crinesha hands. Her ideology of "too many black and brown in prisons" resulted directly in these 2 deaths. If she only did her job and kept the criminal behind bars those 2 would still be alive. So it's not the bad Police killing the black children but CRIMESHA.
Fort Myers police officer Williams is now facing a third-degree felony charge for failure to report child abuse and neglect (if failure to notify DCFS about child not restraint in a car seat a month prior to crash justify charging officer, than it should be easy as hell to charge CRIMESHA for her failure to do job that constantly results in dead bodies.)......maybe we just need FEDS to take a harder look.

Dude, you are way off base and I seriously doubt you are otj. Your comment sickened me.

First, Deenihan is a good guy and a good boss.

What did you want him to say? "Yeah, they're dead. Next!"

Deenihan was professional and expressed the feelings of most, if not all, police officers who have handled the senseless murder of a fellow human being. Deenihan did us, the CPD, proud when he spoke to the news media about this occurrence and he handled himself much better than the parade of near-illiterate exempts who, in recent times, have represented the CPD to the news media.

And, to doubt that an offender could be motivated to shoot and kill two human beings because he was asked a simple question, it is obvious you know little or nothing about the lives and code of some people who are members of a societal segment other than your own.

Also, there was nothing, about these two senseless murders and/or Deenihan's all-around excellent handling of the news conference concerning those same two murders, deserving of your ROTFLMFAO.

Another killer doing what he knows best = killing his own Community members. One could be sad to hear about the killings but its Chicago. Chicago is a Democrat City so its leaders tolerate these things. It's ok because its social justice on the south and west sides. The Murder mayor doesn't care, she's got the Dummy from Dallas to beat up on and blame the police.

Trump offered help to the city and State but the morbidly obese pig and the crazy mixed up Murder Queen said they don't take help and leadership advice from the Prez. No the fat Pig and the Midget have got a handle on all the killings and skyrocketing shootings in Crazy Town.

You have to suspend your belief system in order to listen to the nonsense and keep from laughing at their bullshit. Only the Fake New believes them. No one with a brain believes in the Fake News. So with this coming 4th of July weekend coming, I wonder how many family members are willingly ready to give up their sons and daughters and feed the murder beast. Feel comfortable to know their safety and lives rest in the hands of a fat pig and a midget.

It is easy to understand why the left looks the other way on the issue of these shootings/homicides when you look at it in terms of the upcoming Presidential election. The left needs all hands on deck before the election. So they empty out the jails in order to create havoc in the cities to make President Trump look bad. Besides, the left knows those same criminals will be voting democratic in November.

Back in my old high school days, some Latin Kings in a car, pulled up to a kid on the street, and asked him, "Yo, what you be about?" He responded, "I'm about 5'10" or 5'11"." They then proceeded to beat the shit out of him. Too bad he didn't carry a gun back then!

Most 16 and 17 year teen males just travel to their destination. They might inform their parents, but not seek permission. 😑

Generally, 16 and 17 year teen males aren't chummy with 19 year old adult males, unless they're friends, gang members, schoolmates, work colleagues, family friend or dating (Ha!). 😑

Height questions are more commonly asked by elementary and middle school age kids. 😑
