Derrion Albert, 16, Was Killed In Thursday Attack Caught On Tape

....Silvonus Shannon, 19; Eric Carson, 16; Eugene Riley, 18; and Eugene Bailey, 18, allegedly kicked and punched Derrion, an innocent bystander in a fight between two groups of students near the South Side school Thursday afternoon, according to Cook County prosecutors...

The assault, which was captured on videotape, was not gang-related but arose from a disagreement between students who live in Altgeld Gardens and another group who live in an area known as the "Ville," according to Assistant Cook County State's Attorney Jodi Peterson...

If only Acorn hadn’t been cut off at the knees by those nasty conservatives, this whole incident could have been avoided through their youth outreach programs (sorry, just getting a head of the spin).

Cosby seems manic depressive to me

Does anyone else remember that Altgeld Gardens was where Obama first started making a name for himself, and how he takes great credit for somehow "cleaning it up" and starting him on the road to "community organizing"?

Here's a link to the story. He really is a low-life.

I’m proud to say that I’ve made it through 43 years of life without punching and kicking anyone to death.

"But you can’t erase decades of moral decay in 8 months"

It’s not 8 months. For all purposes each race has been on the Earth an equally long, long time. Long enough for the dust to settle.. and it has.

[SoldierDad]

Could be, considering what the man’s been through.

Wonder if he will play this video for the Olyimpic Committee when he asks them to bring the games to “his” Chicago.”/i>

Community crimes must not be an issue in their decision. If it were, no way Atlanta would have made the cut.

Mmmm, Mmmm, Mmmm,

Now if they only had midnight basketball in that 'hood, this whole thing wouldn't have happened.

“Community crimes must not be an issue in their decision. If it were, no way Atlanta would have made the cut. “

I will say, that for about three weeks, Atlanta was a dream city, with people in a cheery mood, virtually no local crime, and traffic at early 1950’s levels. Too bad it couldn’t say that way...

[RowdyFFC]

Yep, O’bozo’s old community organizing on the southside of Chicago. They’re such happy campers there they kill each other off at the rate of 32 a month.

Just what we all want in organized little communities in our town that can hold sway over our government entities by gangland tactics.

[The Antiyuppie]

Well, no guns were used. See? Progress! (and, I don’t mean to belittle the horror of this crime).

Well...uhhh...maybe not...looking at the Chicago Fox website, it looks like the usual Afganistan-level of shootings this weekend. Apparently, SOME few “bad apples” haven’t heard that it’s illegal to have a gun there...

[HiTech RedNeck]

What experience of his are we supposed to pity?

If you mean his son’s murder, this behavior isn’t new. Bill has gone unprovoked on embarrassing rants before.

[vaudine]

When you hear the phrase "affordable housing", know that O and friends have a scam going. Last fall, the Boston Herald (or maybe Sun--just know it wasn't the lib Globe) published an article about the housing development O and Ayers iniated on the South Side,and interviewed a tennant.

The place was shoddily built with foundation and gov. funds, and was not maintained. A huge number of units were empty and falling down. It was a horrible slum, this "affordable housing" although less than 10 years old. Valerie Jarrett handled the building and management if I am not mistaken. The old media ignored the story, which was of a typical Chicago thuggery scam built on grand promises to take care of the needy, and millions pocketed by the leaders.

It was worthy of Zimbabwe.

The only previous “rants” I'm aware of are ones in which he chastises African American males for not taking on their fatherly responsibilities; for dressing poorly; and for talking with “Ebonics” rather than English. I must have missed the other embarrassing rants.

[HiTech RedNeck]

You have.

Thanks for posting.

"..Loretta Augustine-Herron, who worked closely with Obama at Altgeld Gardens, said she could see his future being shaped by his work at Altgeld. "I always knew he was going to be president," she said. It was here, she said, that Obama learned firsthand how "you must be one of the power brokers if you want to effect change."

For all its impact on Obama, Altgeld Gardens today seems far from the kind of success story politicians like to tout.

Dozens of buildings are boarded up, with fences surrounding much of the property. The roads are a potholed mess. Blinking lights illuminate a series of towers where police have mounted cameras..."

Obama is through slumming. He used the ghetto and left.

[Above My Pay Grade]

This community does not look well organized.

I guess these are the results Ayers and 0bama achieved by spending $100 million to improve Chicago public schools.

[Karma Police]

If found guilty in a court of law, death by 2x4 sounds more appropriate..

Chicago or Soweto?
