Staten Island teen dies from asthma fleeing racist crew waving gun; ‘I’m gonna shoot you, n-----!’
The black Staten Island teen, fleeing a mostly white crew shouting racial epithets and waving a gun, collapsed and died last week from a fatal asthma attack.
Dayshen McKenzie died while running for his life from young white males who had a gun.
Dayshen and his friends ran into the group of white guys near Checkers . White guy said “You got a problem? ” and one of Dayshen’s friends responded him with the same question. After that they pulled out a gun and McKenzie and his friends ran for their lives hearing racial slurs from behind. Unfortunately, it was the day Dayshen forgot his inhaler at home…
“They were chasing him — that’s a crime. You’re hunting them because they’re black … You’re calling them a n—-r.”
“To me, it’s murder, to me, it’s a hate crime.”said Fatigati, an ex-NYPD officer and 9/11 responder, who rushed to the aid of the dying McKenzie.
“I want justice for him. Somebody should be held accountable.” Tisha Richardson, McKenzie’s mom.
Another innocent life taken because of racism, another family mourns about the loss. We pray for you.
RIP Dayshen McKenzie.

So what? You failed your finals. You gained some weight. So what? You’re single again. You lost your job. So what? What now? You live. You try again. That’s what.
