Glad to see incidences like these make national news. Black violence is a national tragedy.

Chicago police have charged a teen with first-degree murder after a 15-year-old boy was fatally shot while trying to protect his twin brother from an attempted robbery.
The teenager, Demario Bailey, was shot in his chest just blocks away from the South Side charter school he and his brother Demacio attended. The twins, known as the “Bailey Boys” in their tight-knit community, were raised in a home that prioritized school, safety, and taking care of one another, according to family members.

Principal at the College Prep School the twins attended has gone on record saying" Something has to be done to keep children save on the streets...increased levels of security...martial law".

Could it be worse?

6500 miles away, young men, with zero prospects for the future, accept sign on bonus pay and promises of young brides to join ISIS.

100 years ago, young German men, with zero prospects for the future, blamed the Jews and formed the German Worker's Party. One such young man was Adolph Hitler.

Seemed like a good kid. Too bad for Al Sharpton he wasn't a thug or killed by a white cop.

No kidding. Show's you just what kind of lives are valued. Ones that score political points = 100,000 articles, interviews, and on here posts. Ones that show initiative, duty, sacrifice and loyalty = Crickets.

But, hey there's another Die-In at Berkley, wanna go?
