Let's face it: My gender, ethnic background and small stature make me a perfect target for violent crime in big cities that are soft on criminals — especially repeat offenders who happen to be black.

Black offenders were the perpetrators...

Woom Sing Tse arrived in America from communist China almost 50 years ago with $100 to his name and worked his way up to owning a successful restaurant. On Wednesday, a 23-year-old Black career criminal executed him on Chicago’s streets.
