Take protests to West, South sides

Posted December 22, 2014 4:01 am

There would be much more respect for Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, Spike Lee and Samuel L. Jackson if they would take their "Black Lives Matters" protests to the West and South sides of Chicago.

According to the Chicago Tribune in November, there were 38 homicides in Chicago; 32 African-American, five Hispanic and one white. Just a week ago, 15-year-old Demario Bailey was murdered over his coat.
