This is the hard lesson some students at Fenger High School have to deal with after a day of learning. For them it's a hard lesson of reality on the streets.

Thursday after school, two rival gangs got into a fight three blocks from the high school.

In all four students were beaten in that melee -- one was released from the hospital Friday morning.

While police continue their investigation, some students say they don't want to go back to Fenger next week.

Rival gang members have been fighting for a month -- and each time one of their fellow classmates is injured.

No knives and no guns were used in Thursday's fight. Just fists, feet and boards.

Derrion Albert, 16, was struck in the head by one of those boards.

When people start swingin 6 foot long boards (aka clubs) its time to be somewhere else.

The poor victim was an Honor Student. *sigh*

Such a great future ahead of him. Incredibly sad.

[RobinMasters]

Ping.

[IllumiNaughtyByNature]

Has anyone looked at the makeup of the Olympic committee? Wonder what countries are on it?

[Dallas59]

Reparations will fix all of this.

[DogBarkTree]

Darwinism in action. Not sure who we are supposed to feel sorry for. They all look like equal players.

It's time for board control, perhaps even wood control. Let's register all trees and mandate a 10-day waiting period for anything larger than a 1x1.

How many more have to die at the hands of the brutal lumbar lobby? The Humanity!

Nah, this is what time it is:

[RoseofTexas]

I saw it and NO adult try to stop it...it was said by the reporter that a police car just stood there waiting for back up that never came. WHY THE HELL are police being paid for?? Where was security?? THERE is going to be a HUGH lawsuit! OBTW, While Chicago burns, the Joker fiddles overseas! Prayers for the family!

The urban environment, showing its attributes and their consequences. It will get worse.

Or, the lumber lobby as well.

[Towed_Jumper]

Geez...reminds me of footage that came out of the Liberian civil war —child “soldiers” killing and mutilating each other like animals. But hey, this is Chicago...they just need more midnight basketball leagues to turn into upstanding citizens. /sarc

[autumnraine]

Feel sorry for America. This kid was an honors student who was trying to help someone else from getting killed.

Honors student and hero. And gone.

Yep, feel sorry for his family and America.

"of the brutal lumbar lobby"

That lower back lobby is a bunch of thugs and gangstas also, so watch your lumbar, of they'll smash it with lumber.

[autumnraine]

That reminds me of that woman who was attacked by her husband (who she had a restraining order out on) and the police just kept screaming at him to stop. The woman was paralyzed on half her body and in a coma. I think Nancy McKeon played her in some TV movie.

[murphE]

That made sick to my stomach. Heartless psychotic animals.

[blam]

"The urban environment, showing its attributes and their consequences. It will get worse."

Yup. Prepare now.

When the music stops, the grashoppers will come looking for you.

By the way, don’t think this will hinder the Olympics. Atlanta just moved all their projects out to the suburbs, thereby destroying the Atlanta suburbs.
