4:25 am is sure mighty early or late to be up studying, and why did he need a bat to study his engineering? It seems that some things have been left out of this article.
The only engineering was going to be done on another planet
Here's what's left out of the article:
1. Nothing good or decent happens on the street or where ever this "kid" was, at 4:25am.
2. NIU (Northern Illinois University) let's damn' near anyone in. They recruit right out of the West and South sides of Chicago for the "urban" students so that NIU gets all kinds of Federal Funds.
3. NIU has its own race issues on campus. Has for more than a few years now.
4. The neighborhood in Chicago this kid and woman were shot by the po po in are known hot-spots.
5. Neighborhood is drug infested.
I can keep going, but I'm sure this is going to just fuel the daily protests in Sh*tcago and disrupt everything in the loop once I go back to work on Jan 5th.
At this point, all I can do is pray for a real bitter cold-snap to keep the po po protesters indoors, off the streets, so I can get back and forth to work in peace.
