I don't pick up no niggas, I don't talk to no hood niggas, I understand his love and trust, but some of our people got to go. They are dead weight and useless.
 
I shouldn't laugh 'cause a Nigga got murdered, but they was dumb as fuck ...

The two flagged down a man they saw on a street and let him in the car when he offered to direct them to where they were headed, sources said.

At some point, the man pulled out a gun and announced a robbery as Franklin sat in the passenger seat and his friend drove, the sources said. One of the victims handed over $400 in cash to the robber, the sources said.

The robber then opened fire, striking Franklin twice in the back and twice on the right side of his body, the sources said.

WTF would you flag down somebody at 3 somethin' in the A.M. in a City you know nothing about and let the Nigga in yo whip, to eventually get stuck up and shot at?

:))

Where did it say the race of anyone involved?
 
They broke about 4 or 5 common sense rules in that situation ...

If they were visiting family they should have came and met them or picked them up too
 
Shit GPS all day everyday... I don't trust none of these niggas. Shit I don't even like them sitting next to me on the train. I rather stand then to smell loud and hear Chief Keef allday.

This is what happened.The victim is probably white/non blacc so instead of reporting the truth they make it sound like some senseless killing.Lol @ letting some dude in the car to show u around.He was in the whip to exchange that blow/crack and then decided to rob the dude
 
October 17, 2013 (CHICAGO) (WLS) -- The sister of an Arkansas man killed while visiting Chicago spoke exclusively with ABC7 on Thursday night. Police say the man was shot after he and the driver of the car he was in got lost and stopped to ask for directions.

The victim's sister says she doesn't buy it. Both had been to Chicago before and she told ABC7'S Stacey Baca a very different story.

Robert Franklin, 55, was from a small, steel mill town in Arkansas. But his sister tells ABC 7 that he was street savvy and familiar with the streets of Chicago.

The sister of Robert Franklin says he was quiet, someone who enjoyed staying home and watching TV. So, why was he on a trip to Chicago?

"He went along for the ride, that's all. He was going up there to do something, or visit someone," said Dorothy Franklin, victim's sister.

Chicago Police say Franklin was a passenger in a car and the driver was his neighbor in Arkansas. Police say they pulled off the Dan Ryan Expressway to ask for directions about 3:45 a.m. on Thursday morning. But the victim's sister questions that story.

"My brother was from the West Side of Chicago, so why is it that he's going to ask for directions?" said Dorothy Franklin.

She says Franklin lived in Chicago 30 years ago and knows the area. She adds that Franklin and the driver are from a small Arkansas town called Blytheville and live in the same neighborhood.

"It was somebody he know all his life, they was friends," said Dorothy Franklin.

In Chicago, police say the two Arkansas men asked for directions when they exited the Dan Ryan. But instead, a gunman got into the car, robbed them, got out of the car, and then fired shots into the vehicle, hitting Franklin.

"Why are you going to rob someone who ain't got no money. He ain't got no money," said Dorothy Franklin.

After that, police say the driver rushed Franklin to Stroger Hospital. Dorothy Franklin is suspicious of the entire story.

"Now everybody, old and young, are saying the same thing. There is more to it than that," said Franklin.

Chicago Police say they have been talking to the driver. So far, no one is in custody or charged
