CHICAGO — The mother of slain 9-year-old Tyshawn Lee is under fire on social media for purchasing a new car.


I don't believe this for one second.

What happened was, the car was financed and the funeral cash was used to buy a set of rims.

You can't give people like that money and expect them to do the right thing


They are poor for a reason.....because they are dumb

Whatever gets her through the night. How is it any of our business? She'll have to answer one day for her actions. Meanwhile, she's grieving and people commit stupid acts when they grieve.

Why would she think it was ever appropriate to post pictures of her buying a new car on Instagram with that money?

Apparently it's a 2015 Chrysler 200.

As we just learned in the shooting in Marksville, bullets go through cars.

Any money you gives these people goes right back into ither people's hands. If there was one argument for welfare it is that we don't give it to people who don't deserve it because it ultimately goes to business owners or back into the government via lottery ticket purchase.

A new 2015 Chrysler 200 is the perfect car for protection, thank god she chose that one.

Lee claims $13,000 remains in the account after she paid for some funeral expenses and GoFundMe took its percentage fee.

People are stupid for donating to a family that has gang ties IMO. What did they think would happen to that money? You are donating money to the scum of the earth and are going to be upset when that scum doesn't do the right thing?

Someone correct me if I am wrong because I have only read bits and pieces of this story so maybe I am way off base here.

ETA: I just saw her son was killed 6 days ago. I think shopping for a new car would be the last thing on most parents minds right now.

How about trying to, say...

GTFO of the Ghetto with the money?

$17k would grubstake you to a new and better locale.

If she has any other kids, that's what I'd do.

What did George Jefferson do?

He GTFO to a de-luxe apartment in the sky.
