24. One of the most troubling facts

Fri Oct 7, 2016, 07:59 PM

Oct 2016

Is that so many people, especially black people, are murdered by unknown assailants who never get caught.

At least, here in Chicago, over 80% of murders are never solved, no suspect arrested. They actually record that the race of the assailant is unknown. So I don't know where people conclude anything, with those horrendous statistics. And frankly, as horribly abuaive as the Chicago cops have demonstrably been ("black site" interrogations in an old Sears warehouse), it would not surprise me if..

This issue has got my attention. I feel as adults in our society, we are all responsible for making it better, and this problem is at the top of the list.
