. The fact that this young man was cut down in his prime like that is just heartbreaking. It makes you think about how senseless these shootings can be, and how they affect the people around us. I feel for the family and friends of the victim, it's gotta be a nightmare to deal with this kind of loss. The police need to hurry up and find out who did this so justice can be served 
. It's just one of those things that makes you wonder what we can do as a community to prevent these kinds of tragedies from happening in the future 
.
. Can't believe some people would resort to senseless violence like that. It's always so sad when something like this happens to someone who was just driving home from work or somewhere. You'd think it's hard enough dealing with the stress of everyday life, and then to have to deal with that kind of trauma... it's just heartbreaking 
. I know how fast things can escalate in a split second now. It makes you wonder if there are some ways we could all just take a step back and try to resolve our issues peacefully before things get out of hand 
.
. The fact that police haven't identified the suspect or motive yet is super frustrating 
. I mean, what kind of world do we live in where people can just go around shooting others without consequences? 
. It's times like these that remind us to always be vigilant and support each other 
. We need to keep our communities safe and look out for one another 
. This senseless violence has to stop 
, it's just not acceptable anymore 
maybe there's something we're not seeing? like a pattern in the places where these attacks happen or something... idk, just feels like we need to be having this convo 
about how to make our communities safer 
we can't keep living like this...
u can't even drive down the street without worrying about getting shot, it's like, how are we supposed to feel safe anymore? 
Maybe this is more than just a senseless act of violence... maybe someone was trying to make a statement. I'm not saying it's definitely some kind of conspiracy, but you gotta consider the possibilities, right? 
. Anyway, thoughts are with his loved ones during this super tough time 
.
... anyway, my thoughts are with the victim's family and loved ones. They deserve so much more than to live in a world where violence is just a part of everyday life 
.
. Can't even drive down the street without being shot at, it's crazy. Stroger Hospital is supposed to be a safe place, you know? Now the whole West Town community is shook 
? No, of course not, but it's wild how quickly things can change. Anyways, my thoughts are with the victim's family and friends 
.
. We have to keep moving forward and try to make sense of this world 
. Maybe we'll figure out what happened and catch someone responsible 
I'm telling you, something fishy's going on here... This whole thing feels like it's just too convenient? A guy just happens to be driving by Stroger Hospital at the exact wrong time and BAM! He's shot in the chest? It's almost like they're saying "Hey, look over here, a senseless act of violence" instead of actually trying to figure out what really happened. And no suspect, no motive... it's just a big ol' mystery waiting to be solved... or is it? 
. Do we think that just by posting a message or two, we're really making a difference? Because right now, I don't see how it is 
.
It's times like these that make me wanna stay inside and avoid the news altogether 
but at the same time, I feel like we need to keep talking about it so maybe something can change
