Horrific story. Young college student sitting on a train was caught up in gang related crossfire and a stray bullet struck his spine and left him paralyzed.

CHICAGO — A University of Chicago student who was shot while sitting on a Green Line train last week died Sunday.
Max Lewis, 20, was sitting on the CTA train at the 51st Street Green Line Station around 6:30 p.m. Thursday when he was struck by a stray bullet.
He was transported to the University of Chicago Medical Center in critical condition.
The Cook County Medical Examiner reported Lewis died Sunday. His mother told WGN News the bullet left him with a high spinal cord injury that paralyzed him and would have required Lewis to likely be on a ventilator for the rest of his life. He knew the situation and communicated with his doctors and family via blinking through a lettering board that he wanted to be taken off life support, his mother said.

He was pursuing a double major in economics and computer science. Lewis was on his way back from an internship in the Loop when he was shot.
quote:
“Max would just help me, we’d do our homework together four-five days a week, we would go on walks together,” friend Zach Cogan said. “We would just talk freely and like judge free. It was just like one of those things that I can never replicate with anybody else.”

If I were president we would have the national guard on every corner in the south side of Chicago

I'd wear shorts with a button down shirt too if I had calves like that.
But really, that's a terrible situation for him/his family.

Wouldn't be so sure it was crossfire. Punks take potshots at trains, and the people on them, fairly often.
Have seen more than one slug embedded in Lexan.

Horrible.
For those familiar with Chicago, that metro line looks like it goes through the worst parts of southside Chicago. Does that line go to a destination further south that would make sense for this kid?

University of Chicago just needs to move to a new part of town, world class university in an absolutely horrendous area.

No, U of Chicago is very near to the South Side ghetto

Absolutely horrifying to read. Yet, the Sterling and Floyd families reached multi-million dollar settlements because a couple of convicted felon, career criminals resisted and failed to comply with LEO commands.

Where are the white liberals marching for this guy? Did his life not matter?
Do you need to stick a certain number of guns into the stomachs of pregnant women or reach a certain level of crack/fentanyl addiction in order for white liberals and democrats to march for you and build a statue in your honor?

That’s tough to read.

There’s nothing in the south side of Chicago that is worth the risk. It’s a straight up trash ghetto.
