Ironic

  • Matthew Williams was a passionate anti-violence activist who moved to Chicago in search of a "new life," a friend said.

    But Williams, 21, was shot and killed early Saturday while inside a friend's home in Park Manor. He was playing video games when a man, who had earlier gotten into an argument with someone else inside the home, "decided to shoot the building up," fatally wounding Williams, said friend and activist Ja'Mal Green.

    Williams had campaigned against that kind of violence for months. The 21-year-old, who was born in Chicago but raised in Virginia, moved back to the city a year ago, Green said. He became a passionate activist, speaking out against police brutality and gun violence while calling for a better public education system, Green said.

    “He wanted a new life. He wanted to experience something different. While he was here we started protesting, and he wanted to be involved,” Green said.
Well, he certainly experienced "something different."

Now we wonder, who did his friends call once the gunfire started?
  • And Williams knew when to have fun — at the rally near Trump Tower, the last time Green saw him, Williams was playfully pushed to the ground by activist Lamon Reccord as they pretended Reccord was a police officer...
Ah yes....ol' Lemon Record. Well, we guess that rules out everyone calling the police, right?
