FERGUSON, MISSOURI

For the last week, the black population in FERGUSON, MISSOURI has been ripping up their own neighborhoods in 'protest' of MICHAEL BROWN being shot by the police. 

having a law enforcement background as i do sometimes makes it difficult for me to to be open minded about civil unrest so i called a black friend of mine to get his reaction.

now i'm not going to give you his name or profession but i will tell you that he's a college graduate and came from a very poor background in the western suburbs of chicago. 

 and i quote: "when you act like a nigger, you're going to get treated like a nigger. who do these animals think they're kidding when they loot the local stores that provide jobs for blacks and then burn them down?  they aren't protesting michael brown, they're just reverting to the ghetto way of taking what's available.

 they're just thieves & thugs and do far more harm than good to the black community plus now it will be months before those retail outlets re-open, if at all. every one of the looters and curfew breakers should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.  as a black man, i'm certainly concerned over the facts of the shooting but i'm horrified that blacks still have a criminal mentality and take advantage of tragic circumstances. i'm afraid it will never change."

continuing with a creepy week, how about the 18 year old daughter & her 21 year old boyfriend from OAK PARK who were vactioning with her mom in bali & stuffed mom into a suitcase after beating her to death over who was going to pay the hotel bill. FYI---the police have been called to the oak park home 86 TIMES in ten years for domestic violence situations.  oh yeah, the daughter is 2 months pregnant.

remember when your kid brought home candy bars from school to sell & raise money for the choir? well, that looks like a thing of the past as 'healthier choices' are going to eliminate candy, pizza slices in the lunch room and other sugary treats that we normally saw in machines.

a sad farewell to ROBIN WILLIAMS & LAUREN BACALL. godspeed.

politics: BRUCE RAUNER has about a 6% lead on PAT QUINN for governor but it's only august.  quinn is like a phoenix and has risen from the ashes several times in political races.

chicago teacher's union president KAREN LEWIS is still "50-50" about running against RAHM EMMANUEL for mayor of chicago.  lewis, who has often stated she's "common folk," recently revealed that she owns 3 homes, including one in hawaii.  how common is that?

how about JACKIE ROBINSON WEST LITTLE LEAGUE going to the world series in WILLIAMSPORT, PENNSYLVANIA?? first time in 33 years for a chicago team. they won thursday but got hammered sunday and will play in the loser's bracket monday night. "win & stay in or lose and go home." kudos to those young men.

the ebola outbreak in africa has taken over 1200 lives and the count continues. women are at risk because they are the main caregivers in that nation.  the experimental drug just arrived saturday.  now let's see who gets it. 

ON A HAPPIER NOTE, DON LEVIN, the owner of the CHICAGO WOLVES hockey team has donated TWO MILLION DOLLARS to chicago animal care so they can improve their facilities and provide 'top quality care' to the many dogs and cats they service on a daily basis. his donation will be combined with 6.2 million taxpayer dollars.

if i were a gangbanger in chicago, i would start looking over my shoulder because the feds have arrived.  there was a time 
back in the late 80's & early 90's when you couldn't walk in TIMES SQUARE in NEW YORK without being mugged so MAYOR RUDY GUILIANI brought in federal prosecutors and absolutely hammered the gang members in new york city and reduced the crime rate by 65% and the homicide rate by 80%. today, new york is a joy to visit.

"you can't beat them on the street corners because we don't have enough cops but they can't beat us in the court rooms. we just have to make sure they go away for a long time."
GUILIANI had the prosecutors use FEDERAL RICO STATUTES to send away gang members for life, just as they had done to members of the mafia. the shootings IN CHICAGO continue so let's get rid of the shooters.

these criminals are low life street thugs with no education who probably learned from their parents how to make a buck on the street.  it's time for the bleeding heart liberals to take a step backwards and let the criminals pay the price for their deeds.  NO, THEY CAN'T BE SAVED OR REHABILITATED BECAUSE THEY ARE ANIMALS so you can cut that whining right now.  send them to prison for a long time and protect the decent people in the neighborhoods.

bye for now.
