Behind The Hate-Living Like Were Bulletproof

bear jordan has a question what does 34th ward alderman carrie austin, 9th ward alderman anthony beale have to say about derrion albert's death as well as the neighborhood students from roseland and pullman feuding with each other at fenger high school since they've been holding office? and what about the program cps ceo ron huberman has to use that $30 million in federal stimulus money to employ the 200 most at risk students to become victims of youth violence and assigning this so called outside group of part role model, part counselor and part truant officers for these students?

Dear Young Warriors fighting the wrong wars! Killing each other is definitely played out. Being hurt from the lost of a love one was never cool.

Dear Young Warriors fighting the wrong war! I know that feeling, that frustration with life and needing to take it out on someone, any one. But....

We chose the dumbest things to go the hardest for. I remember seeing deaths over 8 ball jackets, Fila sneakers, and name plate chains. Deaths over "he say, she say"!!!!! "I'm from this block or I'm from that block", or "my moms n pops is f*cked up now the whole world gotta pay"!!!

I remember feeling like I was the hardest "n*gga" breathing. And I couldn't wait to prove it. But let's think. What are we really proving?? And proving what to who?? Everybody knows Chicago breeds the strongest of the strong but I just feel, me, being ya brother from another state feels your pain as if I grew up with you in ya very own household.

You have the ability and mindpower to change they way we are looked at. Look who's watching us young warriors, look who's throwing us in jail constantly, look at the ignorance in the world. Look at the racist dogs who love to see us down. Loving to bury us in the ground or in jail where we continue this worthless war on one another.

Young warriors.... We are WASTING more and more time. We gotta get on our jobs and take over the world. Cuz this movie left the theaters years ago, Juice, Menace, Boys n the Hood , Blood n Blood Out, Belly!

When we see each other why do we see hatred? Why were we born in a storm, born soldiers, WARRIORS....and instead of building each other up we are at war with each other.. May the soul of this young person find peace with the almighty. I'm with you young warriors. You're me and I'm you. But trust me! you are fighting the wrong war.

This sh*t sucks !!

Behind The Hate-Gang Melee

Chicago police Saturday were reviewing a video showing the melee that left a Fenger Academy High School student beaten to death this week. Derrion Albert, 16, found himself in the middle of a deadly melee with dozens of teenage boys Thursday afternoon in a vacant lot outside the Agape Community Center, 342 W. 111th St., in the Roseland neighborhood. He was later pronounced dead at Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn.

Officials and witnesses say the melee was a culmination of a simmering rivalry between two groups of Fenger students, one that lived near the school and the other from the Altgeld Gardens housing development. Neighbors said the feud has been building since August, spilling across Roseland streets and, some say, into Fenger.

Albert's family was squeamish about watching the video and not all of them were able to watch the whole thing. But they said they don't have a problem with the public watching the graphic video as long as it helps identify who beat Derrion to death. "It hurt to watch," said LaTonia Williams, the teen's aunt. "It's one thing to hear about it and come up with your own theory of what happened. To see it is another thing. It gave us a real clear picture of what happened. That video was crucial."

The video was obtained by Fox Chicago News and a copy was given to Chicago police, according to a Calumet Area detective. Police this morning said no one was in custody in connection with Albert's death. Please note the video contains graphic violence. If you can identify any of the people allegedly invoved in the death of Derrion Albert please call the Chicago Police Dept. at 312-747-8272.-chicago tribune
