J. Kass and I both want to know who tipped Baltimore Sun/Chi Trib off to O’Bama’s ancestors as slave-owners. A thought for the newspaper and other media mavens: What if newsies regularly said who suggested this or that story? That way, we readers would know whom they are talking to. We can guess, of course, but newsies would gain credibility if they spilled these beans.
Another thing, why does neither Trib nor Sun-Times say what kind of gangs these are whose members stabbed and beat up the off-duty cop on Lincoln Ave. at 4 a.m. — Puerto Rican probably, but why don’t they tell us?
Also, notice that all eyes are on the cop, as to his behavior in the beating: how did his gun go off, for instance? (As he fell, stabbed.) But nothing about his dereliction of duty in not sticking its barrel into the mouth of the nearest punk as he and friends barbarously confronted him and his friends? We know why: the cop has to be nicey-nice and must not unduly intimidate the barbarous gang members. Of course.

From Reader Nancy:
Most likely the violent gang members are illegals.
Yet later: Probably NOT. See NOT Puerto Rican gangsters! above.
