On Friday afternoon, Mayor Tom Barrett announced an increase in police presence at community events planned for the week. He said there would be no tolerance for violence at festivals and that perpetrators will be prosecuted -- regardless of race. I thought that was the law anyways. It is. Note how the news stories report the incident. Half mention nothing about race, using terms like young people, teens, and the like - which leaves one wondering what indeed, did happen. The Mayor's quote is understandable though. Anything else would generate another mob, this one of slogan-chanting freaks decrying racism. Kind of like the reason babies must be crotch searched at airports since pointing out the difference between them and the people who have committed terrorists acts would either be A) age discrimination, B) racism, C) religious bigotry, or D) profiling.
