Hampton
5th December 2003, 03:59
December 4, 1969 around 4:30am Chicago police entered Fred’s apartment by kicking the front door down and then shooting Mark Clark pointblank in the chest. Clark was sleeping in the living room with a shotgun in his hand. His reflexes responded by firing one shot at the police before he died. That bullet was then discovered to be the only shot fired at the police by the Panthers.

Their automatic gunfire entered through the walls of Fred and his pregnant girlfriend's room shooting Fred in the shoulder. Two officers entered the bedroom and shot Fred at pointblank in his head to make sure that he was dead, and no longer a so-called menace to society. It has been said that one officer stated, "he's good and dead now."
Gregg York, supervisor in the Chicago FBI office, said, “We expected about twenty Panthers to be in the apartment when the police raided the place. Only two of those black nigger fuckers were killed, Fred Hampton and Mark Clark.”

The officers then dragged Fred's body out of his bedroom and again open fired on the members in the apartment. The Panthers were then beaten and dragged across the street where they were arrested on charges of attempted murder of the police and aggravated assault.
The FBI saw Fred Hampton as a threat to society that needed to be eliminated. They conspired with the Chicago Police Department (CPD) and William O'Neal to spy on Fred to give them information about his daily itinerary in order to have O'Neal's felony charges dropped. His job was to serve as a bodyguard of Fred and director of the Chapter's security. He was suppose to notify the FBI of the Panther's apartment floor plan and how many residents lived in the apartment. When the FBI got its information a raid was authorized by the state attorney Hanrahan.

FBI special agents sent a memo to J. Edgar Hoover stating that "a positive course of action (was) being effected under the counterintelligence program." Aside from giving the FBI a map of the apartment, O’Neal also drugged Fred with Seconal in a glass of Kool Aid to ensure he didn’t wake up in the morning. 1969-1970 O’Neal earned $30,000 as a paid FBI informant, such a low price to sell out your brother.

When it was over the police pumped 98 rounds into the apartment. In 1972 a quid pro quo arrangement was made which dropped the charges against the Panther survivors. In November 1982, District Attorney Judge John F. Grady determined that there was sufficient evidence of a conspiracy to deprive the Panthers of their civil rights to award the plaintiffs of $1.85 million in damages.
O’Neal committed suicide in Feb. 1990 via the messy expedient of running down an embankment onto Chicago’s Stevenson Expressway and being hit by a taxi.
Fred Hampton Jr. spent 9 years in jail on trumped up charges of arson, he was released on September 14, 2001.
