President Obama was disappointed that the Olympic Committee decided not to choose Chicago as the venue for the 2016 Olympics. As President Obama was formerly a successful “community organizer” in Chicago, this defeat must have been especially disappointing. Part of the reason that Chicago may not have been selected is due to how Violence has stricken much of the city. Just a couple of days ago a Chicago student videotaped a murder of an honor student. http://www.csmonitor.com/2009/0929/p02s01-usgn.html (As a side note, it seems to be especially dangers to be a Black honor student. In the stories linked below, all the victims happened to be honor students.) http://www.smmirror.com/volume3/issue23/samohi_honor_student.asp http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article/article?f=/c/a/2005/09/27/BAG4OEUD661.DTL http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1P1-79459073.html http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/2009/01/26/2009-01-26_progun_senatordesignate_gillibrand_shoul.html Link to raw video: http://www.myfox
someone once said, roughly, that the thing about common sense is that it's not so common.
ReplyDeleteThanks again Ram, great vid.
That really should be made into a PSA.
ReplyDeleteI live in Kansas City. This story broke while I was at work. Customers asked me if I'd heard about it all day. I told every one of them the same thing: "Yes. I did. And if I played for the Chiefs, I'd blow my brains out, too." Really, I couldn't care less. The team sucked so bad I was kind of wishing a few of them would drop dead and make room for some draft picks, anyway. None of my customers knew Belcher personally, but looking at their reactions, you wouldn't think so.
ReplyDeleteNobody mentioned the girlfriend. Nobody.
R.I.P., Javon. You were a fine example of what inspires me to be a Patriots fan.
