Yeah but that cover title is misleading...

The article was not publish after the announcement of the video in the kitchen by the activist, which was 3 days ago. The article that's posted is dated for 9/13/2017

Same day they found her and already saw footage of her in the lobby.

Kenneka Jenkins memorial becomes a call for FBI's help with death investigation

A memorial to honor the life of a West Side teenager found dead in the walk-in freezer at a suburban hotel turned into a protest march and a plea for federal authorities to take over the investigation.

About 100 people, led by the mother of Kenneka Jenkins, 19, who was found dead last Sunday inside the freezer at the Crowne Plaza O'Hare & Conference Center in Rosemont, gathered Saturday in Douglas Park.

From the park, about 30 people snarled eastbound traffic on Roosevelt Road as they marched east to the FBI's Chicago field office on a sunny afternoon. Through chants, group members said they were dissatisfied with hotel videos released by Rosemont police on Friday.

Activists threatened 30 days of protests outside the Crowne Plaza hotel if they weren't given the "full" version of the tape, saying they had only seen small, possibly doctored versions.

"We're here at the FBI building asking for a second look," activist Mark Carter told reporters among a crowd of supporters at the front gate of the FBI office on the Near West Side.

Carter and the group promised to put an economic hardship on Rosemont. Contributing to increased tensions following Jenkins' death — which is being reviewed as a death investigation — was a miscommunication on the part of an activist who this week spoke on behalf of Jenkins' mother, Teresa Martin. The man told reporters no one lured Jenkins into the walk-in freezer, but later clarified that surveillance footage actually only shows her walking through an empty kitchen, not into the freezer.

Martin said she supports a federal investigation, saying the timeline of the videos did not make sense to her.

"I'm not a professional, but the FBI, from what I heard, they are professionals," she said. "I'm just looking for help — that's all I've been asking for since day one."

Martin's attorneys couldn't be reached for comment. Calls and emails to the Rosemont police weren't immediately returned Saturday. No one from the FBI came outside to meet with the protesters, who left after speaking with the media.

Prior to the protest, more than 100 friends, relatives and some strangers had gathered in Douglas Park for a family-led memorial a week to the day after Jenkins last spoke with family members on the phone after leaving her West Side home for a Rosemont hotel party.

Just after noon Saturday — with rock music from the nearby Riot Fest blaring in the distance — the group gathered in a portion of the park just across from Collins Academy High School and shouted, "We love you, Kenneka," releasing more than a dozen purple and white balloons into the breeze. Many of those in attendance wore purple clothing or bandannas.

A local minister led the crowd in a prayer of support for Jenkins' family. The gathering was a chance for family and friends to grieve the death of the young woman.

Martin greeted friends with hugs and kisses on the cheek as many guests handed over sealed envelopes that were placed into a large purple box adorned with pictures of Jenkins.

It's from another thread where he was being really ignorant.

Not the same. She didn't have a room with fire escape access. Death is still unsolved.

If you go to target and slip because they failed to put that Yellow caution thing...you can sue.

The aisles in Target aren't a restricted area like a kitchen or a rooftop

But if the "restricted" area isn't posted as such and/or unsecured...bet your *** you can sue.

It is incredibly rare for a trespasser to successfully sue a property owner for an injury, but it is not unheard of. Generally speaking, if someone trespasses on your property and they get hurt, you will not be liable. You are free from blame unless:

• You have acted violently or aggressively toward the intruder, which causes injury.
• You have been grossly negligent and/or expect that trespassers may enter your property. For instance, if you know about a serious property hazard and you take no steps to post a warning, you could be liable.

You could argue the hotel was being negligent

 

[deleted]

How do we know that it wasn't posted as an off-limits area?

 

[edshoecator]

We don't, but it was unsecured so there's the negligence.

 

[Bert.]

Not disagreeing but wouldn't the parents also be at fault? No one checking on these kids? Allowing them to get a hotel and drink and do god knows what? Likely drugs as well

 

[servechilled81]

We don't, but it was unsecured so there's the negligence.

not really. usually the sign telling you to keep out is enough

 

[edshoecator]

Not sure about their culpability.

At this point, get the autopsy out so her mom can have some peace.

If the toxicology comes back crazy...then we have an answer.

Right now the mom has clips of her daughter alive and nothing showing her walk into a freezer like the activist guy stated he saw

 

[edshoecator]

Right.

Wonder if you had to have different access to even get to the basement.

I want to know more about the people she was partying with too

This is the US. Lawsuits and insurance companies is main concern from corporations.

Come on man we all know if this girl fell down the staircase in the hotel and died you would be blaming it on the dimensions of the stairs.

[Maximus Meridius]

I been tryna keep it up with this but it's so much misinformation coming out. That video of her walking around the hotel just don't look right... And they still haven't said her cause of death. This is real funny style.
