The question that should be asked is why are there E.M.T's gettin paid when they won't even do there job? That boy laid on the ground for at least 20 minutes before they arrived, then to just stare at a body.what the hell is really going on? Another black man killed no biggy to them. Elgin has 2 hospitals why couldn't they arrive on time??? The police was so busy trying to harass people about there names they were not focused on this boy dieing in the street. which he was giving cpr by strangers instead of the people who we pay are dues too. Protect and serve??? Yeah right!!!

[DoubleD]

Medics don't get paid to come to an unsecured scene. They can't help anyone if they are dead.

[red]

the fact of the matter is he had a chance and was ignored, so save your stupid comments!

Great job by the motorist who hit the guy. To bad he didn't run him over to save the city the cost of a trial.

[hmmmm]

I read this article again, and I didn't find anything about ethnicity in the article. I also know that a 29-year old man is not a boy [sic]. Without knowing the whole story, perhaps he had finished dieing [sic] by the time they arrived to do there [sic] job. I would say that speaking without facts is one of are [sic] biggest problems in objectively judging issues.

Sad story. The wrong people are in the lifesaving business!!!

[Lena]

sorry sweetie I am not only speaking the facts I know them! get it right i watched , while you read about it. But who am I to speak upon the truth when ignorant ass people are gonna have some slick ass comment! Do me a favor and keep reading since you seem to believe that what was said in the article was the truth!!

Get over it!

[dee]

as the usa over populates things might get worse

I wasn't there, but I do know a little bit about EMS. The shooter is the problem, not the EMS. You should have a meeting with ELGIN fire and EPD and ask then about procedure. I am sorry soemone died in what was assuredly senseless violence. Please don't blame people that have a thankless job.

It is such a sad sad story when I here about anyone being killed. What happened to good ole fist fights? Then you make up and be friends. what could anyone do soooo bad that a human being's life has to be lost? Things like this leads me to believe that this world issoon at its end. Every single day someone is being killed and I just get so upset. I feel so bad for all the families that has lost their loved ones, because there is nothing I can say or do to even begin to talk sense in these corrupted people. I don't care how much people all over the world talk about these murdering people, it doesn't help to wake up the other folks that may be thinking about killing someone. Why can't people stop the killing? This is one question that will never be answered.

[G Money]

When will Elgin stop allowing venues that breed violence? There is no reason to die when trying to enjoy a night out

[Rage against the machine]

My grandmother told me to go home early

She said nothing good happens after midnight.
