A black life that also mattered

An innocent, unarmed black teenager recently was shot and killed in Chicago. He was not killed because he was resisting arrest, or threatening another person. He was shot because he would not surrender his coat which the thieves were demanding. He was not shot by the police. He was shot by three other young black men.

Where is the outcry from the black community? Where are the protest marches? Where are Al Sharpton and Jessie Jackson? Where are the comments from Barack Obama? This black life also matters.
