Sean Hannity Blasted for Calling Adam Toledo, Child Killed by Chicago Police, a ’13-Year-Old Man’
“Adam Toledo was not a ’13 year-old-man. He was a child. You make me ill,” tweets George TakeiAndrea Towers | April 15, 2021 @ 7:29 PM

Sean Hannity drew intense criticism Thursday when he described Adam Toledo, the 13-year-old killed March 29 by Chicago police despite being unarmed and with his hands up, as a “13 year old man.”
Chicago police released graphic bodycam footage from the shooting on Thursday. The footage firmly proved that despite prosecutor’s claims otherwise, Toledo wasn’t armed and was in fact attempting to surrender and comply with police orders when he was shot and killed.

Speaking on the latest episode of his radio show, Hannity said, just ahead of the release of the bodycam footage, We are awaiting the release this hour of Chicago Police bodycam footage that captured the fatal police shooting of a young 13-year-old man by the name of Adam Toledo. And if social media is any indication, there’s a lot of chatter today about possible unrest. I hope it doesn’t happen but with Chicago’s track record, every weekend - you know, I guess, you’d have to go with the odds, considering there are dozens and dozens of shootings and killings every weekend in Chicago - that this might not be particularly good.

Can you name me a sport besides ultimate Frisbee where your dog can compete alongside you? I guess hunting and ducking are sports, but they are breed specific. I don t know if Lassie ever chilled in a blind waiting for a mallard to drop from the sky. I congratulated Einstein s human companions
