This is about more than hypocrisy related to white on black crime verses
black on white crime. Their silence speaks less to the lack of empathy
for the lives of all races or the false kum-ba-ya of racial harmony that
Barack Obama promised, but rather it gives unspoken consent to black
men gone wild, and is a sharp and cruel proclamation of their inferior expectations for the black community they purport to serve.
Again, we're supposed to trust the Stupid Party why?
And in the Brady Paradise of Chicago,
As students go, many will be accompanied by some unfamiliar faces: A
crop of newly hired workers in yellow reflective vests, Chicago
firefighters and even the security guards from local public libraries,
all of them expected to stand guard to ensure kids get to and from
school safely.
The effort known as Safe Passage - which stations workers and others along designated routes to help students who must cross gang boundaries - is perhaps the most visible sign of how much is
at stake for students in a district that has long struggled academically
and financially, as well as for a mayor who has vowed since taking
office that he would turn things around.
If someplace like Oklahoma City required this, we'd be hearing about needing more gun laws and the horrible situation for kids; in Chicago, this is progress.

They think a murder-minded gang member won't shoot a guy in a vest, or a (presumably unarmed) security guard... or even an (equally unarmed) firefighter?
If they were "community minded" like that they wouldn't be a problem in the first place.
