CHICAGO (SR) - In order to draw attention to teen violence in Chicago, the Rev. Jesse Jackson accompanied Fenger High School students Tuesday morning on their bus ride from the Altgeld Gardens public housing development to school.
This inner city area has been a hotbed of violence between students of Fenger and Carver High Schools, and resulted in the much-publicized beating death of a young man last month.
During the short bus ride, the Rev. Jackson advised the young people to stay in school and get an education so they too can one day shake down corporations for millions with race-baiting legal threats. "Remember, you are all victims and somebody owes you a lot of money," Jackson reportedly told the students.
Upon arriving at Fenger High, the Rev. Jackson was greeted by reporters and community officials. After taking an offering, Jackson gave a brief speech while being treated by EMTs for minor stab wounds reportedly suffered during the ride. Chicago police are investigating the cause of Jackson's injuries as well as accusations from a number of students on the bus that Jackson robbed them - a charge Jackson's people strongly deny.
My comments: Wow, lucky for those students they didn't own any large companies that weren't at least 50% black - they'd really be hurting!
Hey, it's after 8:00 AM, who wants a delicious margarita?
