Hater Of The Week-Life Always Future Leaders Billboard

Billboards depicting President Obama alongside an anti-abortion message have been erected on Chicago's South Side.

Three billboards line the side of a building near a vacant lot at 5812 S. State St. and feature an image of Obama with the words, "Every 21 minutes, our next possible leader is aborted."

The anti-abortion group behind the controversial "Dangerous Place" billboard in New York City launched the Chicago campaign.

Life Always plans to unveil on Tuesday the first of 30-plus billboards in South Side neighborhoods. The group said in a statement the ads are targeted at the "disproportionate number of abortions among African Americans."

"Our future leaders are being aborted at an alarming rate," said Life Always Board Member Reverend Derek McCoy in a statement. "These are babies who could grow to be the future Presidents of the United States, or the next Oprah Winfrey, Denzel Washington or Maya Angelou."

The billboard in New York eventually was removed after complaints mounted. It read, "The most dangerous place for an African-American is in the womb."

Nation Business-Latin King Rules

@chicago tribune
On the surface it reads like a rule book for a kids' club, filled with misspelled words and calling for dues and loyalty. But the dues were for funerals and loyalty demanded they carry handguns. And among the misspelled words was a reference to punishing members who shot innocent "by-standards."

The three-page list of rules for the Latin Kings street gang was quite serious though. It is, in fact, a key piece of evidence against four high-ranking gang leaders on trial in federal court on charges they bore responsibility for violence and drug trafficking in the heart of the Mexican-American community in Chicago.

Prosecutors identified defendant Augustin "Tino" Zambrano as a gang corona, one of its three highest-ranking leaders in Chicago. Though the first week of March is known within the gang as King Week, a time set aside to celebrate the Latin King nation, Zambrano instead sat beside co-defendants Vicente Garcia, Alphonso Chavez and Jose Guzman in the Dirksen U.S. Courthouse as the government began laying out its evidence in a case that includes drug conspiracy, racketeering and weapon assault charges.

The copy of the gang rules, which was seized from the home of a Latin Kings member, covers everything from the need to remove rival graffiti to restrictions on drug use — PCP and crack are outlawed. Members are told the exact late-night hours that they must "bust-out," or be on the street representing the gang. And beggars are not even allowed in the West Side's Little Village neighborhood, the gang's turf, according to the rules.

The rules also demand that members be willing to engage in violence.

Prosecutors said the rules are just one illustration of the forethought that the Latin Kings put into their criminal behavior. During testimony Thursday, the jury also was shown a constitution and manifesto that laid out the gang's credos and structure, showing how members were committed to carrying out its business once they had pledged to the gang. Prosecutors said the trial will highlight not only the drug trafficking the gang engaged in but also the gang violence that plagued the streets of Little Village.

The violence ranged from shootings to hand-smashings and the motives were both personal and related to gang business.

One "violation," or beating, was allegedly ordered by Zambrano after a member of the gang spilled beer on his wife in a bar, the government alleged. Prosecutors also plan to play in court several hours of conversations secretly recorded by informants, who will be testifying at the trial.

During opening statements, attorneys for the defendants encouraged the jury to consider the background and veracity of the informants, all of whom have gang ties themselves.
