3 teens charged with beating death of 'innocent bystander' - Chicago Breaking News (http://www.chicagobreakingnews.com/2009/09/derrion-albert-vigil-and-march-postponed.html - broken link)
This stuff goes on everyday in the inner cities, its just that its so commonplace that the media rarely reports it.
I've never actually been in an inner city; well not a predominantly black one. I've lived in some seedy areas and I've seen gang violence up close but typically if you stay away from it; you're ok. I couldn't really tell much in the video because it's so shaky but did he just walk into the middle of this?

I can't watch the video right now but I heard about it on the TV. It is horrible and I hope they are prosecuted to the fullest extent. I also read the kid was an honor student trying to do the right thing in a really bad neighborhood. These are the kinds of kids I would gladly welcome into my home and schools.
