1. I've been hearing about serious h...@Gordon, <br />1. I've been hearing about serious high violence in Chicago since late 2008*.<br />2. I'm not troubled by the fact they're repeating the fact he was a honor student.<br />5. Agreed.<br /><br />@Chauncey,<br />I don't know how effective the "black leadership" can or will be. I don't recall a recent situation where the black leadership got involved and changed the moral framework of a particular community. I've read reports of a single parent or group of parents taking charge of their communities. Hopefully there are parents within the community that will decide enough is enough and take action.<br /><br /><br />----------------<br />* Here's what a commenter left on one of those links-<br />Maurice brown on September 27, 2009 11:05 PM <br />My brother Shaun Brown attended fenger and was slain at age of 17 october 4th 2008 by a senseless act of violence just like this,my heart goes out to his family,i know how it feels i was in your shoes last year around this time, I got you in my prayers r.i.p darrionVee (Scratch)https://www.blogger.com/profile/06565744565399935705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57113078446695664.post-60576002919959687062009-09-29T02:57:10.502-05:002009-09-29T02:57:10.502-05:00@Gordon--here is the quote at http://www.chicagobr...@Gordon--here is the quote at http://www.chicagobreakingnews.com/2009/09/derrion-albert-vigil-and-march-postponed.html: <br /><br />"Smith believes that Riley was defending his brother in the fight. Shannon, who has not viewed the tape, said she doesn't believe her son would have stomped on Albert's head.<br /><br />"Silvonus is not a bad kid," said Shannon, 40. "He was protecting himself. Silvonus is not what they are making him out to be."<br /><br />What a bunch of man-beast, knuckle-dragging, mouth-breathers--truly a disgrace to the race. They are not worthy of freedom and full citizenship.<br /><br />Again, the reason these creatures behave this way is that many of these baby boy, man children are made the "man" of the house by enabling parent(s)--and you get the derision to my tone. A bunch of boys who need positive rolemodels in their lives--particularly male role models...not the cornerboys and wannabe drug dealer types...to teach them about responsibility, civility, honor, and respect for such crazy abstract concepts as right and wrong. <br /><br />Like you said, where are/is "black leadership" on this one? Where are the fathers? Why are these women choosing to lay with these men who most certainly--by their track records--are not good fathers? Why breed with them...and yes, I said breed.<br /><br />cdchaunceydevegahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09652406326490873337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57113078446695664.post-91280014890589937812009-09-29T01:37:01.498-05:002009-09-29T01:37:01.498-05:001.

Apparently, there are fights everyday, and it's not just students; it's also their older friends and family members from the neighborhood joining in the festivities. But the students who cause trouble are a tiny fraction who ruin it for everybody. Typical.<br /><br />2. I'm a little troubled by the over-emphasis on Albert's status as an honor student. I know that this is shorthand for "he wasn't in a gang," but it bothers me. If he were a below average student, would his murder be any less horrific?<br /><br />3. This fucking idiot of a newscaster broadcasted that a kid she identified as a senior on the film told police who was involved in the beating. Good luck keeping that kid from getting beaten again (or maybe shot). This just shows that these news people have no regard for the subjects of their stories. <br /><br />4. To answer your titular question: no one. No one is raising these monsters, and that's the problem. Saw one of these degenerates' mothers on the news defending her "baby" and downplaying the incident.<br /><br />5. I know it's pointless, but I wish that the community members wouldn't organize a march in response to this senseless violence. Enough with the fucking marches.gordon gartrellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07453017150507048961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57113078446695664.post-27616332132438187582009-09-28T23:46:39.168-05:002009-09-28T23:46:39.168-05:00What a horror.
