Two black teens steal a car, recklessly drive throughout Chicago, get in horrific car accident, murder a six-month-old white child and only get charged with a misdemeanor. This is George Floyd’s legacy, where police stand down nationwide for fear of being the next Derek Chauvin.

CHICAGO — Two teenagers are only facing misdemeanor charges after the crash of a stolen car resulted in the death of a 6-month-old infant.
In an update Wednesday, Chicago police said two male juveniles, ages 17 and 14, each face one misdemeanor count of criminal trespassing, though charges could be upgraded pending the department’s investigation.
Police said the crash happened around 5 p.m. Sunday in the 4400 block of West Washington. A stolen Hyundai was traveling westbound on Washington when it struck a pickup truck.
A screenshot of surveillance video captures the moments before a stolen Hyundai slams into a pickup truck, causing fatal injuries to 6-month-old Cristian Uvidia.
According to police, there were multiple hospitalizations in this crash—including a 6-month-old boy who died from his injuries. The medical examiner has identified the baby as Cristian Uvidia.
Family told WGN that Cristian’s two older sisters and mother are still in the hospital but are expected to recover fully.
A GoFundMe has been set up for the family to assist with funeral services.
White lives don’t matter in America. Six-month-old Cristian Uvidia had beautiful blue eyes. His death is the true legacy of George Floyd, where black people have pure freedom to drive our civilization to the African mean.
