Black Humor of the Day...

 Hat tip: Glenn Reynolds

In other, non-funny news:  Thousands of police and civilians turned out in Chicago today to mourn CPD officer Ella French, killed by street thugs.  Her partner's father, also an officer, spoke of his son's survival journey in the hospital:  days ago, he was told Ella had died but was in no condition to leave the hospital and attend her funeral today.  Shot thrice, a bullet remains lodged in his brain...

Also,  an immigrant woman in Chicago speaks out after being beaten in the Loop last weekend by teenage thugs on the street downtown.  Her boyfriend was assaulted by three men, she ran, and a pack of 9 or more, including young women, began bashing her body while down..

An nearby Uber driver filmed the assault in the middle of the intersection, then drive up and told the couple to "Get IN~", potentially saving their lives.  Unlike many female victims who do not report or do not want their faces shown, this brave immigrant woman is speaking out -- thanking the Uber driver and calling for justice, even for the teens.  Several were arrested, none charged.  Why? She said that is what she kept asking as she screamed for the beating to stop, "Why are you doing this to me?"


God bless the mainstream media today, who seem to have no sympathy at all, or interest in reporting the brave women here at home in America who are fighting back, but need taxpayer protection too, even if only in the form of after-the-fact courtroom justice...  God bless us all. 

 I like Glenn Reynolds:  He Fights/Links.  And for an Ivy League grad, he's more street-smart/nation-wise than most professors put together... (Yeah, I been known to suck a teat or two myself -- not for commission or career advancement though, not that it's necessary here..  Glenn seems to advance ideas, not just buxom blondes and hubbys building amazon commission seller sites...)
