Edward Clark Uptown shooting memorial... things that make you go, Hmmm


Since Edward "lil' Eddie" Clark's murder in Uptown on the 4700 block of North Winthrop Avenue, Chicago News Report has been continually searching for more insight into the December 4, 2011 shooting.

Via Facebook, we reached out to several people who knew Edward Clark personally, but they have not responded to our emails.

However, we did find some interesting photos of the slain North Side man.

For instance, there is a touching photo of Clark lovingly holding an infant in his arms, and an adorable picture of Clark when he was probably 8 or 9-years-old.

But of all the photos we unearthed, one picture really caught our attention.

A few hours ago, someone erected a curbside memorial in Clark's honor and posted a picture of it online.

And there, surrounded by candles and leaning against a soft, white teddy bear... is a red pitchfork.

Maybe we're naive, or just need to get out more, but we have never seen a pitchfork at anyone's memorial or funeral.

Either pitchforks have been converted into a positive religious symbol, or that little bugger has a more ominous meaning. 

87 comments:

  1. 'Lil Eddie Clark obviously was a follower of the Wiccan belief system - hence the pitchfork.

    Cuz the only other thing it could mean was that 'Lil Eddie was a gangbanger - the 3-pointed pitchfork of the GD's (Gangster Disciples).

    Touching that 'Lil Eddie's chums paid homage to him with a 40-ouncer and empty beer cans.

  2. Why do people claim to be surprised when a no-good thug gets his brains blown out on the streets? Are they really that DUMB that they didn't see it coming?!

  3. the idiots didn't even exercise enough prudence for the three seconds it would have taken to clear the dried, flammable brush from where they built their pyre.
    This photo says so much. so much.

  9. @ 12:34pm, I am sure he was as upstanding a person as you apparently seem to be. Keeping your head in the sand doesn't change the fact that all of you are ghetto gang bangers who ultimately are a plague on society and no one wants to live with.

  10. The only time I see whites leaving money or booze on someone's grave is at Al Capone's grave. White or Black leaving booze on a grave is a reference to some perhaps less than legal activities. Capone and McGurn taught their boys how to shoot though.

  11. The loss of human life is terrible, no matter the conditions. Racist pigs here and where ever else that do not recognize this--shame on you. It's time to question the system that places people into these predicaments rather than the individuals stuck within them. ALL POWER TO THE PEOPLE, ALL POWER TO THE HOOD.

  14. Hopefully the gangbanging thugs will continue killing each other until they are all as dead as that jungle savage.

  15. Little Eddie as well as the one who shot him will have to stand before God and account for whether they loved their enemies as Jesus asked us to do. That is the problem with gangs, not enough love but it's also the problem with we who hate & make racist violent comments who don't belong to a gang. Let's all try to love a bit more. May God bless us all.

  16. Anonymous 11:57. I agree with your statement on the surface. I just want to know why gangbangers play into the hands of the Powers that Be by killing each other and slinging dope. When will people learn to respect themselves and others. People in "da hood" need to learn to respect their communities and the hardworking people in it. It is only a matter of time before the people who have been terroriazed by these "Thugs" begin to raise up aganist urban stupidity and it won't be pretty. You would be shocked how straight law obeying citizens can shoot.(Be aware most of us "Yuppies" were raised in Indiana Wisco and Michigan where guns and hunting are legal)

  17. Listen, all of you fucktards spouting religious nonsense, NONE OF THAT SHIT HAPPENED.
    Billions and billions of years ago amino acids combined, simple proteins formed, simple life followed in a few million years... and then fast forward to the present where we have shirtless morons dancing on the corner of Sheridan and Lawrence, leaning on the mailbox and drinking warm beer.
    If Jesus was real at all, he was just a mentally ill man who knew some magic tricks. Same goes for all your other prophets and messiahs.

  18. @12:52 pm Get over yourself. You are scum. Speaking on a situation you have no ideal about. You can talk trash all you want. I really hope it makes you feel better about your trashy self. Bet you hate your life thats why you are so concerned with ours! Just because you don't want to live doesn't mean we have no reason to. SO FUCK OFF!!! God put us here for a reason and that reason was not for you or anyone else to judge us. So I will say it again R.I.P. Lil Eddie

  19. U self-proclaimed "yuppies" are anonymous cowards! Come from behind your white sheets and show us how brave U legal shooting hunters really are. As for the atheists, your soul is in real trouble and that's punishment enough! No other words need be wasted on U. Good Day everyone, oh and, rest in peace Lil Eddie!

  21. First of all you, obvious, racists need to have respect for the loved ones, and their loss - this is, STILL, someone's baby ...Someone's brother ...and if you were the "upstanding" people that you claim to be, you would NEVER be so ugly. If these were those of the Trailer, I'm sure you'd be hesitant to say such ugly things (it's ALL racism, making you JUST AS EVIL as those you ASSume to be just "thugs")...

    ..and another thing: the pouring out of liquor is a tradition that came from the movie "Cooley High", when they would share a drink, and pour some out for the "Brother's who aint here" to share the drink.

  25. ^^^ Friends don't let friends get shot in the head.

    If you were really Eddie's friend, you would have tried to stop him from living the life of a ghetto hood rat. Instead, you celebrated his backwards ass lifestyle and now Eddie is dead.

    Shame on YOU!

  29. It deeply saddens me to see such hate in the community that raised me. The disrespect of human life in regards to the shooting as well as the hatefully racist comments being made. Uptown raised me the successful young BLACK scholar that some of you racist can never be. I now attend William and Marry college in virginia which is the second oldest college in the united states only next to Harvard. I knew Eddie and most of the other folks for all my life and walked the same streets as they did just like you all do and you know what they are people just like the rest of you. The people disrespecting his life have no respect for their own life. I TRUELY hope that you all understand that uptown will never reach its full potential as long as we continue to live divided.

  30. I knew Lil Eddie, I grew with up with him, attended grammar school with him, and he was a good person. No one asks for death, and no one asks for how their death should be commemorated. Its quite unfortunate to see such racist/negative comments geared towards a topic that half of you have no understanding of! As a Journalism major in one the top-tier colleges in the nation, I know for a fact that obituary-related articles are supposed to acknowledge all the positive attributes of the victim. Clearly this is not the case, so to the writer: If you don't have anything nice to say, PLEASE, don't say it at all. This article itself is extremely disrespectful to the loss of human life, and I'm ashamed that its representative of "Chicago news report." Regardless of what you "think" you know about Eddie, NO human life deserves to be treated in such a manner. Whoever wrote this article is clearly an amateur who got a little too comfortable with their keyboards and should be completely ashamed of humiliating themselves in a public sphere, and everyone else who is perpetuating this negativity is equally as ignorant. With that said, R.I.P Lil Eddie, I send out my deepest condolences to the family and friends who was affected by his loss.

  31. This is a sad problem that has been effecting Chicago for many years. I grew up in Chicago an I knew lil Eddie personally. It really disturbs me too read what people post about a person they don't even no. This young man doesn't deserve for people to judge him like this. Let him rest in peace. He was a young man raising himself in a world that people like you sit behind a computer an judge would probably never accept. No one care about him losing his mom as a young boy or that he has a daughter to feed. This boy has family an friends who love him. If anyone could have changed the outcome I know they would. Those who judge be careful. Gods wrath is strong. No one deserves to die like that. I pray for everyone who has been effected by a killing from Chicago streets. This has to stop.

  33. It doesnt make sense for people who can spell to type in hateful and misguiding statements in times like these. You hating blacks(Im sure)and a humans life ending should not be in the same sentence. One thing I know for sure; we all must die... This is what Im trying to say dont like blacks but respect life...I would never say white men are always behind kid rapes and murders. They are always society's serial killers. No that wouldnt help the situation. People are tired of Americas white population hating so damn much like being smart made you a color(or lack there of). Stop!!! it can never be true.Find something to believe in. Blacks arent the problem its a two way street and it just became a four way... LOOK aroundddddd!

By the racist and inhumane BS that you post, YOU WOULD BE MORE DESERVING!!! U IDIOT BASTARDS AND LOSERS!!! Black people arent and could never be as ignorant as u all who say this about a young life..........Do us all a favor and KILL YOUR SELF, the world would be a better place without you.

  36. anybody who can say that he deserved this, needs to take a step back and realize that, a father, a son, uncle and brother was taken. I have his daughter that asks me every morning to call her daddy. people are greiving while you dumb ignorante people are talking about his life, that you really have no clue about. you dont know what he went though or how he felt. you people that are talking nonsense, are you the "wealthy white" people that have no clue what the real stuggle is out there. if you dont know him or anything about him, keep your fuckin mouth shut! he was a 20 year old man that was trying to live a life to feed his daughter, an now she will never have him again to hold her, talk to her, and play with her. didnt your mom teach you " if you aint got nothing nice to say, then dont say anything at all"..... all you dumb ignorate people talking "bad" about the father of my child, needs to go kill theyselves.

It really disturbs me too read what people post about a person they don't even (know). This young man doesn't deserve for people to judge him like this. Let him rest in peace. He was a young man raising himself in a world that people like you sit behind a computer (and) judge would probably never accept (what?). No one care(s) about him losing his mom as a young boy or that he has a daughter to feed. This boy (with a daughter) has family an friends who love him. If anyone could have changed the outcome I know they would. Those who judge be careful. Gods wrath is strong. No one deserves to die like that.

  39. Personally, I don't think anyone "deserves" to die. However, when you live the life of a gangbanger, isn't that a chance you take? That someday, your mom, dad, sister, brother or children may have to say "RIP?"

    True friends do not let their friends live such a risky life. You dishonor him as well by doing that and while it's true "you can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink" you still keep leading and sooner or later, that horse will be thirsty. The life of a gangbanger is destined to be spent in prison or in the ground. Help yourself and your friends and give it up!

  40. He had a daughter to feed? I doubt if he did that. You all mean the welfare department fed her.

  41. Maybe if you ignorant people who are leaving such vile comments actually stopped for a minute to realize, someone is dead! Who cares who he was or how it happened. Sad thing is I met him a few times and he was nothing but decent to me. You idiots who believe just because you have somewhat proper grammar you have the right to judge... get the fuck over yourselves. If anyone deserves to die or go to jail its you idiots who have their heads shoved so far up their asses they don't even realize what DEATH really means.

  44. Thank goodness Edward Clark is deadDecember 7, 2011 at 11:47 AM

    To Dec. 6 at 518 pm - Yes, someone is dead. Someone who was a worhtless POS that spent his life terrorizing good, upstanding citizens of the city, while sticking his cock into anything that moved & creating little bastards that are paid for by my taxes.

    Yes, someone is dead, and most of us are glad for it. Too bad he didn't get popped years earlier, before all the crime he committed & the filthy bastard spawns he created.

    We know what death means - death means the nigger Edward Clark is no longer around to attempt to destroy our lives. One down, only a few million to go in Chicago.

    12/6 at 1:01 am: "As a Journalism major in one the top-tier colleges in the nation, I know for a fact that obituary-related articles are supposed to acknowledge all the positive attributes of the victim."

    That is absurd. He needs to be remembered in death, how he chose to live his life - as a gangbanging, crime committing, low life who dies by the sword he lived by. If only he could have caught the bullet years ago.

    ReplyDelete
  46. Here's a shocker - "Lil Eddie" was 20 years old when killed.

    So at age 20, he had a daughter - but did he have a hs diploma, and/or a job that was legit & his income was taxed?

    Age 20, yet photos abound in the internet of him drinking.

    Age 20, and a criminal record (possession of narcotics with intent to deliver, ie, drug dealer).

    And the least shocking of all? At age 20, dead, by violence that is highly likely to be gang related.

    This guy is just one stereotype after the next, now neatly packaged in a box six feet under.

  47. To all you people who are talking out of your rear end.....Stop disrespecting this man. Everybody goes through life making different choices. Yes, he might be a thug/gang banger or any other of these accusations. Yes, he lived a life of crime and negligence but let him die as a man and with resect. He might have done many wrongs but at death his right out weight them all. Allow his family to mourn in peace you ignorant attention grabbers

    ReplyDelete
  48. @12:25

    His family can mourn in peace. Nobody here is stopping them. I doubt anyone that commented negatively here, ever said a word to the family or friends. These views were only expressed on this forum.

    No offense to the owner of CNR, but the family has probably never heard of this blog. If they even bother to go online, all they probably use is email and Facebook. The only way they would find out Chicago News Report exists, is if one of you morons told them to come here.

    So, if they did see negative comments, it was because a family "friend" pointed it out to them. That friend is disturbing their mourning process, not us. We are expressing our opinions on the incident, as we are entitled to under the 1st amendment.

  50. I agree with everyone who said " if you don't have something good to say don't say anything at all". I posted the comment about Eddie & his murderer being judged by God. The founding father's meant for freedom of speech to not step on other's toes. They would be rolling in their graves at all the hate in this blog. I try to not judge. We should remain civil!!!

    ReplyDelete
  51. Why? Gangbangers and thugs aren't "civil" to us or is that just a one way street?

    I would imagine MLK is rolling in his grave at how well the civil rights movement he gave his life for is doing as well. I'm sure he's shedding tears at how his people are preying on everyone. The next time a thug tries to rob me should I say "we should be civil?"
    Why is it we have to be civil about a person who dies from gang violence? That bullet could have hit an innocent person. A child or a mom or dad. How about a grandma? These bangers have no regard for the innocent so why should we? Why is it everyone else in society has to be "civil" and play nice but blacks don't?

    ReplyDelete
  52. To Molly from yesterday at 750 pm - are you really that delusional - the founding fathers meant for freedom of speech to not step on other's toes?!?! That's just an absurd comment.

    Freedom of speech means that the STATE cannot come in and limit what individuals or groups say, ie, you can't go to prison for expressing political beliefs that are in the minority. Legal protections exist to prevent a person or group from speading falsehoods that can damage another person or group's reputation, as long as that speech hurts them financially (ie, hurts their business). And THOSE protections came in long after the BoR was signed.

    Freedom of speech in no way is meant to, "not step on other's toes." Person to person communication wasn't even in their mind when freedom of speech was included in the bill of rights. Go take a class on constitutional history.

    Also, being judged by god? Guess what - he's not in heaven, he's rotting underground right now. He's not being judged by a deity, he's being judged by things that exist, as in, people.

    He's being remembered in death as he lived in life - as a worthless gangbanging thug who contributed nothing to society except bastard children, and running drugs. He's being remembered EXACTLY as he lived his life.

    What a shock - a gangbanger dead on the streets at age 20. Gee, I didn't see THAT one coming!!

  53. Please everyone !!!! Let's be adults. I grew up in that area and I decided where I want to end up in life and now I own two businesses so let's not blame people for the life we want to live I've seen Eddie in the area before but did not know him its true you live by the gun you die by the gun but is his family not hurting let's be a little civil. And for the people who has a problem with gangbangers DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT BESIDES MAKING COMMENTS ON THE INTERNET I did something about the gang activity I MOVED. And any friends and family of Eddie I want to say sorry for your loss and for his gang and other gangs you just lost a friend because of two letters and a street corner that belongs to the city of Chicago is your life not worth more its time to stop and rethink your life there is so much talent in uptown that is being flushed down a drain so please everyone just think twice

WE ALL MAKE MISTAKES IN LIFE, AND LIL-EDDIE DID MAKE SOME, AS WE ALL DO. BUT TO SAY THAT MY BIG COUSIN DESERVES THIS, HOW DARE YOU? OUR FAMILY IS HURTING ENOUGH, AND THEN TO SEE PEOPLE SAYING HE DESERVES THIS? NO ONE DESERVES THAT. THAT IS BLATANT DISREGARD FOR HUMAN LIFE AND EMOTION.

  62. ^^^That's a threat. It's important to know the difference between a threat and reacting to a threat.

  70. The illiterate comments above made by niggers should be sent to the CPS Board of Education to show what a complete failure the public schools are. We might as well be throwing our school taxes down a sewer.

    ReplyDelete
  71. I feel bad for all of you people on here, including your children as well. This is why America is in the place that we are in. Not one person in this whole conversation spoke one word without emotion. Emotion is the death of reason. In the past we were taught to deal with emotions, now we have a philosophy that thinking emotionally leads to better decisons. Let me explain to you the reality of life here. First, let me extend my condolences to the family of Edward Clark. I cannot imagine how hard it must be to lose someone that abruptly and coldly. He deserved better, everyone does. Everyone on here who has never met this man, owes him and his family an apology for the absolute disgrace of human civility and sympathy some of these comments have shown. Those who have written such racist words are just as evil as the "gangbangers" they so negetively refer too. In fact, if you really think about, racism came before gangs. Slavery!!! I mean ide have a lot of pent up anger towards a group of people that enslaved, raped, tortured, murdered, and did thousands of other unspeakable travisties to my people as well. You white people cry about being robbed, yet your descendents did much worse. Who are you now to judge? Now that you have had the privlidge of having your most basic needs satisfied, you were able to allow your mind to progress to the point it is now, but the african american culture did not. Its easy to think about morality and values, when you have food on the table and a warm house. But the folks on the south side, these "gangbangers" you so eloquently refer too, how are we suppose to expect them to have even a momment to consider right from wrong, when the next meal and making rent are much more pertinent. Those who are fortunate are exactly that, fortunate. Fortunate to allow the mind to explore the depths of reason, logic, morality. I mean basically, fortunate enought to have a good, safe, structured school environment. I mean thats where I learned my morals and values from. My parents obviously were influential, but my peers and immediate environment may have been even more influential. It is not simply that "black people" (and I hate to say that because I do not feel skin color has anything to do with it evident by the fact that gang mentality permeates all societies regardless of color) are murdering thugs and that white people are racist pussys even though all comments on here would lead one to believe such. Its kind of like democracy. You elect people to represent you because not everyone in intelligent enough to have a valid opinion. Thats is why the people on here are probably not running for office any time soon, thank god. I mean look at the comments from a psychological point of view. Case # 1: Im a white single male living in uptown, I was walking late at night and was robbed at gun point by two black men. This is an actualy police report that happened in the uptown area. So I ask the african american crowd to respond to that. Now at first, if I were to be arguing for the african american side pertending I am a lawyer, I would say, "Your honor, just because of a few bad apples, it doesnt mean that the whole black population is bad." And that argument would be sound, unless the next day another similar crime happened.

    ReplyDelete
  72. And as more similar crimes kept happening, its inevitable that people would start extrapolating those results on to the greater african american society. The best way to combat that image, is for the african american culture, as well as society in general, to stop celebrating this behavior. Instead of rapping and glorifying black dudes who look like gangbangers in rap videos who have sex with multiple partners, who arent concerned about being loyal to their wife, who instead of taking their kids fishing or to the park or just to talk to them, teach them how to shoot guns and get hoes and smoke weed and sell drugs and "be cool". Because isnt that whats cool? Is lil wayne not cool? Snoop Dogg? I mean we see these rappers and then when kids emulate them we say its individual problems not society as a whole. I mean I did not know Mr. Clark, but the last thing I would want my family to see at my memorial was bottles of svedka and a pitchfork. where is the logic in that. All the african american people who posted comments get very angry when "racist white people" say generalities that are meant to be hurtful with respect to whole black polulation, yet YOU PERPETUATE THE SITUATION BY DOING THINGS THAT YOU THINK ACTUALLY HONOR PEOPLE LIKE MR. CLARK WHEN IN REALITY THERE IS NO PRIDE, NO EMPATHY, NO CONNECTION BETWEEN A BOTTLE OF BOOZE AND REMEMBERING A LOVED ONE. WHY NOT PUT JUST PICTURES AND CANDLES? BECAUSE THATS NOT WHO HE WAS, AND WHO ARE WE TO JUDGE HIM. RIGHT? THATS THE RESPOSE? WHO ARE YOU PEOPLE TO JUDGE? You are right, no one has the right to judge except God (if there is one). But as memebers of society we can hold people accountable for their actions regardless of the situation. It is sad and unfair that some people live in multimillion dollar mansions with maids and others live in shoe boxes with barbed wire on the windows. BUT THAT IS NOT AN EXCUSE TO COMMIT A CRIME. I dont care how poor you are, stealing from someone barely wealthier than you is not the answer. I mean there is no economic reason for rape or murder. Bottom line is this, both sides are right and wrong, but the hatred and anger towards the other side, which I reiterate are emotions, cloud the logical decisions we could make to better all our lives. Next time instead of white people assuming that all crime has a black face, we should look at ethnicities around our own neighborhoods. Uptown probably has one of the larger more concentrated areas of afican american inhabitants in Chicago outside of the south side. Of course a good proportion of criminals are going to black, it only makes sense. But when you look at maximum security prisons and serial killers, they are mostly white. However, the black polualtion as well, needs to understand that its not the best idea to tell a white person who is talking out their ass that, "if i find you u gna be in the ground ten feet lower than edward." I am sure your buddy is looking down at you proud that you would honor his death, honor this deepest of tragedies, my forcing another family to go through the same exact thing. YOUR AN IDITO. Its those kind of people, not african americans, but those kind of PEOPLE that cause this. I hope you can see that all I am trying to do is shed light on something very complex and intertwined throughout history and I hope one day more people will learn to take the good out of every situation, so that in the future we can stop these things from happening, instead of sitting here debating whose wrong and whose wronger.

    "YOUR (sic) SCARED OF PROGRESS UR SCARED THAT WE WILL TAKE YOUR JOBS WHICH IN FACT WE ALREADY DID."

    Well, I'm educated, hard working, not on drugs, and have ambition. So I have absolutely NO concern that these nigs will be taking my job. They could work with me for months, and would have absolutely no idea what I do, how it works, how what I do makes money, and how I make decisions.

    The only job they can take is corner drug dealer - look at nigger Edward Clark, someone took his job!!!

  82. Hey AngryBlackMan - Though you may have wished it was a white person, the odds are overwhelmingly in favor of an on the street shooting victim being black men like your "friend" Eddie Clark. And the odds go up even further when we're dealing with a drug dealing, gun running, gang banger, like Eddie Clark.

    So in sum, it's way more likely that you, and not me, will be the next one killed by a rival gang that ends up in the city morgue.

    The only ones who I hope rest in peace are the innocent civilians that you & your nigga Eddie terrorized.

Eddie monster had a lot of loving and caring family be he didn't have his mother after the age 13 cause She became Ill and never had support from his suppose to be father so end the end everyone posting comments racists or not Is plain out dumb cause he was also white to and not a plain out nigger he was also a sweetheart outside of all the bad things he have done no one is perfect but it is left upon god to judge weather or not your perfect enough to make it into the heavenly gate with him and believe it or not all Edwards Good out weighed his bad so he is back in ms Mary's (his mother) arms like forever wanted to be
