With the help of an inside informant from the Black Panther Party William O’Neal, FBI summoned Chicago Police into Fred Hampton’s home, and murdered him with two shots to the head at point blank range.

Sleeping, next to his pregnant wife.

Fred had been drugged by the informant, police ran into his house with only one intention. His wife was 8 months pregnant. They fired about 100 shots. Image
The officers laughed in joy as they carried the 21-year-old revolutionary out of his home. Image
J. Edgar Hoover made it his personal mission to shut down the Panthers and get rid of Fred. They tapped Fred’s mother home, and Hoover created his narrative of the panthers being a violent group.

Hoover had a fetish for Black men, couldn’t stand himself. Image
William confessed to drugging Fred, and playing an important part in his death. William ended up committing suicide later in his life. Image
