- As the Chicago Tribune reported several years ago, over the past 60 years, more than 40,000 men, women and children have been murdered in the city.
- More than 1 million have been wounded,
- most of them Black,
- thousands of them innocent bystanders, including hundreds of children.
Those are not just statistics.
They are obscenities and a national disgrace which should galvanize any leader into action.
Yet, not only are these literal crimes against humanity not addressed, but they are also not acknowledged, because they will reflect poorly upon those whose policies and failures allowed them to happen.
- Please pause for just a few seconds to try and wrap your mind around that jaw-dropping, shocking and truly gruesome number: 40,000 men, women and children murdered in just one American city.
- Again, that is not a statistic. It is a "killed in action" report from a foreign war...
