Black lives matter only if they serves their political purpose.
COOK COUNTY CRIMINAL COURTHOUSE— The Auburn Gresham man who shot an 11-year-old girl in August was aiming for her adult cousin, prosecutors said Wednesday — but there were few outsiders in the courtroom to hear it.
“Why don’t we have a packed courtroom for this?” Cook County Judge Peggy Chiampas demanded to know as Cordero Harris, 27, stood before her Wednesday afternoon on charges of aggravated battery and aggravated assault.
Minutes earlier, activist Malcolm London — who’d been charged with battery to police following a Laquan McDonald protest Tuesday evening — appeared in the same court room.
When charges against London were dropped, the myriad activists, protesters and reporters who had flooded Chiampas’ courtroom to see London, stood up and left. Chiampas had to pause proceedings to account for the exodus.
