(CNSNews.com) – In the 20-day period of the George Zimmerman trial, four minors – three teens and a five-year-old boy - were gunned down in Chicago, according to Homicide Watch Chicago, a Chicago Sun-Times publication, which details every murder that takes place in the city.
On June 28, five-year-old Sterling Sims was killed in a double murder that also claimed the life of his mother, 31-year-old Chavonne Brown. Both were shot in their apartment, and police believe the motive was robbery.
On July 1, 16-year-old Antonio Fenner was gunned down on the sidewalk next to the body of a 32-year-old man who had gang ties. No arrests were made, and no suspects have been named. Fenner’s mother believes her son was in the wrong place at the wrong time, because no one in her family knew the other victim or what Fenner’s association was to him.
On July 3, 14-year-old Damani Henard was murdered outside a high school. His body was found next a bicycle.
On July 9, 15-year-old Ed Cooper was shot and killed while spending time with friends at the park. A gunman got out of a black van and began firing as the boys ran away. Cooper was shot in the street and continued running to a vacant lot where he died.

Four Children Gunned Down in Chicago During Zimmerman Trial | CNS News
There may a drug war going on in Chicago but the children are the casualties. What is the Progressive Mayor Rahm Emmanuel doing about it? He has disarmed the honest population and allowed the THUGS to reign destruction, rape and murder on the city he was elected to serve and protect. The loss of Trayvon Benjamin Martin to his family is devastating and understandably so. They must understand that their son did in fact assault a man and his actions resulted in his own death. There's a lot of what if's about this, but we can only go according to the evidence. Trayvon was the initial aggressor. Who were the aggressors that killed those four teenagers? Will they also be verbally lynched by the MSM, or those political race baiters seeking the lynching of George Zimmerman.
