In Chicago, Youth Violence Prompts Clampdown
(snip)
On Tuesday, hundreds of Chicago public school students from four high schools gathered downtown to protest the violence and to call for more gun-control measures, with the school district sanctioning their absences and supplying buses, the Associated Press reported. Twenty empty school desks, each representing a fallen student, were set up in front of the James R. Thompson Center, which houses state offices.
It wasn’t a protest against violence, it was a CPS-provoked gun control march. Trouble is, handguns are already banned in Chicago. What next, a women’s suffrage march?
Also, you know he would be in the middle of this:
A well-known anti-violence crusader on the South Side, the Rev. Michael Pfleger, had also planned a community rally Tuesday, and said St. Sabina Catholic Church will offer rewards for information about the killings.
If you don’t know by now why the first fourteen words of that sentence are a punchline, find out right here.
