I'm here in Chicago where this shit went down. And the way it's being told is like they rolled up on a kid who was severely disabled, shoved him into a van and beat on him for entertainment. That's simply not true. You got people out here clamoring for these kids to get the death penalty, man. C'mon.

They should ABSOLUTLELY be punished. This shit was wrong, plain and simple. But I'm hoping they get a fair trial, not convicted in the media.
That's all I'm saying. My words were harsh. I'll admit that.
