But, hey there's another Die-In at Berkley, wanna go?
Not really, I got enough of that crap in college.

I left my small town to escape small minded zealotry.....I found larger towns with small minded zealotry masquerading as open mindedness.

If NYC Mayor De Blasio reads about this, do you think he'll talk to his son about the danger of thugs or will he remain focused on the danger from police?

This is nothing new in Chicago. Google Ben Wilson--that was almost 40 years ago. I came of age in Chicago(Hyde Park), and this is one of the reasons that I moved away. I would lay this at the feet of Chicago leaders, from Harold Washington to Richie Daley to Rahm Emanuel. These are the guys that have molded Chicago into what it is today.

I can understand the sentiment. This is one reason my father didn't want his children living in the inner city.

But somehow they think other races are the problem.

Just checked, and no, there are no #blacklivesmatter protesters holding signs on the street for this young man. They must all be busy staging "die ins" for criminals still. Surely they'll get to Demario Bailey next?
