Self Awareness Are We Urban Terrorist?

Brothers and Sisters Of All Street Organizations: WAKE-UP!! especially in the Chi let's get back to self awareness and take care of our communities and police ourselves and OG's who came up from the foundations of the 5 and the 6 points lets get out here and wake these brothers and sister up. Let them know this senseless non-sense is not how to carry themselves and or represent their nations. Because the powers that be Jody Weis and Mayor Daley are on some under handed sneaky shit and a lot of innocent well meaning brothers and sisters are gonna take unnecessary falls. If Police Superintendent Jody Weis calls a meeting with any organization it's a set-up. Come on he and the Mayor has never gave a damn about the inner city so why would they care now. Just think do they really want peace in the street? And where's the National Guard the Mayor claimed he was calling in earlier in the year? Wake-Up brothers and sisters of all races the powers that be are only putting on a show of caring for the media, including Gov. Quinn. They wanna label us URBAN TERRORIST so that they can strip us of our civil and human rights. Don't let your greed for the dollar guide you, taking care of yourself,your children and your community should be your driving force. Look in the mirror " ARE YOU AND URBAN TERRORIST " is this how you wanna be labeled? Remember what B.O.S/S.O.S stands for. MUCH LOVE from " BANDIT OG "

Poverty In Illinois

It's sad the we have places outside of Chicago in rural areas where people are living well below and I mean well below the poverty line. There's places in Illinois where people don't have proper sanitation where they are using buckets and out houses as toilets and living in tin shacks and mud roads, and can't get mail because where they live isn't on a map and they don't have a zip code. In my wildest dreams could I have imagine this not just in Illinois but in America period. Because the stereotype is that people in third world countries or maybe in back woods rural areas in the south may live like that but never could this happen in the Midwest.Well there is a town of African Americans in Illinois who live in these conditions and there are many more hidden across the US where people of all nationalities are suffering. So lose the stereotype because it happens here too.

Chicago Police Shoot And Kill

There are people with troubled past but that should not be a reason to shoot them if witnesses accounts are correct a african american male was shot and killed by Chicago police after a high speed chase and according to alleged statements made by his girl friend who was riding in the vehicle at the time, stated the gentleman didn't pull over when first stopped by police because he was driving on a suspended license. Police reports say the gentleman hit a few officers with the vehicle and pinned a officer against another vehicle with his car and thats when he was shot. Witnesses say he was surrounded by police and exited the vehicle with his hands up and thats when they saw police shoot him. Police accounts say he exited the car with a weapon and was asked to drop it and pointed the weapon and was shot and killed. Witnesses say they heard about 50 gun shots by police. And even though the victims family says he had a checkered pass it doesn't give the police the right to shot someone. It's no secret that the PD isn't liked in Chicago's inner city and there's a good reason for that but let's remember all cops aren't crooked. So all we can do is wait and see how the investigation turns out. ,

Be Parents Not Just Friends

The reason we have so many problems with children and teens now days is because adults wanna be their children's friends and not be parents. A lot of young parents now days wanna dress like their kids and call the friends of their children a friend also. And allow their children to use profanity around them and toward them and then wanna get upset when they asked their son's or daughter to do chores or have a curfew the child rebells like they're talking to someone on the streets and not to the person whose putting a roof over their heads. The problem is when you couldn't separate parenthood from friendship, none of us were given a manual on how to be parents and a lot of us just abandon our upbringing because you felt your parents were to strict in setting curfew and giving you chores to do in the house, and then you wonder how could your child disrespect you and wanna harm you physically, and the answer is because you're looked at as a friend not a respected and loved parent so you get the same treatment as a homey or hang out buddy. So before you start pointing the finger look in the mirror and say "in solving the problem with-in the community it starts with me and it starts at home." And I feel if that formula is adopted then maybe we can start to fix the problems with-in the village instead of turning a blind eye. It's not up to the schools, police and the government to raise our children it,s up to families and the community to band together and help each other and parents start being parents and not kids, our youth need guidance and not just adult friends.

Your Vote Counts In The Inner City

It's time for those of us who live in the inner city around America to stop being the victims and stop waiting on city and state government to save us. And when elections come in your city put those individuals in office who are willing to hear your voice and concerns and who will not just pat children on the head and say nice things in order to get your vote, and for those who don't vote for a change or a call to action with-in your community don't sit and complain after the fact when the crime rate hasn't change. Stop letting others who have no positive views or interest in the state of our communities determine our plight. There our people in the inner city who have goals and who do take care of themselves and family legally and who live in fear of assault and death daily. Ignorance is a lack of knowledge of self and if you don't understand the past how can you see a bright future. Take pride in yourself by saying enough is enough with your political vote and work together and hold the politicians accountable for working to put positive programs in our communities, because they work for us we hired them with our vote. And remember the inner city wasn't always this violent just check the history.

A Few Hours Of Peace In The Village

Today it was great to have a few hours of peace during Chicago's Bud Billiken Parade seeing people smiling, laughing and having fun. The weather may have been partly cloudy to sunny but it didn't put a damper on the people in the village getting a few hours or maybe the entire day from sirens, screams and gun fire. Even in the wild-wild 100Th there were block parties, children playing and neighbors enjoying the day with music and food. Let us all use this day as the model to build on for the rest of the year, because if we can have a few hours of peace we can have a day, a month and hopefully a year.

Why Blame Obama Chicago

August 4th was President Obama birthday and on his arrival to chicago there were protest rally's concerning the senseless violence and murders especially in the inner city. As I was watching the news a comment was made by a young teen gentleman and I quote: MR. OBAMA IF YOU FORGET ABOUT US WE WILL FORGET ABOUT YOU IN THE NEXT ELECTION." Ok let's stop and think for a moment Mr. Obama is the president for the entire united states not just chicago, and I don't feel he has forgotten about the city or state and in saying that I can understand the frustration and the fear especially in the inner city where the murder rate is so high. This is why we elect mayors and governors and we should be outraged at Mayor Daley and the Police Chief foremost and then Governor Quinn, for not stepping up to the plate and addressing the issues that plague the inner city of chicago. And for those that don't know the mayor does'nt care about the inner city his focus is on the GOLD COAST, NORTHSIDE, AND HIS NEIGHBORHOOD, and until the residents of chicago understand that there will always be and anger against the president because for some reason people wanna put this savior tag on him, the man has a country to run and I feel he cares for every american. So people in these communities need to get up off your butts and make a change with-in your areas and protest from city hall to the state capital and say ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.

Fenger HS

It seems that fenger high school students/former students are being targeted in my opinion. I know of 3 students that have been killed just in 2010 alone, and I really don't understand why. During the 2009-2010 school year some claimed it was because children from altgeld gargen housing projects were being bus to fenger and that was the cause of the violence at fenger, which caused a huge debate between parents on both sides along with finger pointing by students also who were claiming they were being harassed because they were being bused in from altgeld gardens. Honestly who can say whose to blame, but I feel it's ignorance to blame in the village and a lack of communication. Please let's continue to move forward for peace in the streets.

Let Everyone Be Involved In The Peace Process

From July 30th-August 1st,2010 were some of the most violent days this summer. The most chillin was a young man was ambushed and shot 22 times and then the word on the street is he was not the intended target(WTH). And then you see on the news selected churches were seen marching. The violence in chicago streets are not just a Operation Push problem it's a community and city problem and it's not fair to the organizations that are doing great things in crime ridden area's to not be invited to the table, or to be given a voice in the so called peace process, and how many MARCHES are we gonna see. If marching was the solution the violence would've stopped years ago, until we can get on the streets and talk to these young people the senseless violence will continue. We have a lot of vacant lots and abandant homes in the inner city, let's get on the mayor and alderpersons to utilize some of these property's to have more Boys/Girls clubs and after school programs for our young people to have a safe haven and a place where positive things can be done. Bring in some OG's aka former gang members to mentor or even just have a forum where the voices of these young people can be heard, because they have ideas concerning the peace process and they have real fears. I would like to commend a church whose doing great things and no they're not on TV with operation push and their pastor isn't invited to any of the operation push panal meetings aka gang summits but Allen Metropolitan Church is doing great things with the youth in the roseland/englewood area and you don't have to be a member of the church to be a part of the programs they have. They are reaching out in a quiet but postive way, they bring in chefs, teachers, business people to teach and work with the kids from per-school age and up to young adults their program should be a model for all of us trying to find at least one solution to this senseless violence and destruction in our neighborhoods.
