| The mother of the 15-year-old honor student who was shot dead days after performing at President Obama´s inauguration spoke out for more gun control Monday after police arrested two gang members for her daughter´s death. ´My baby deserves a revolution and I pray that what happened her to her will have an impact,´ said Cleopatra Cowley, whose daughter, Hadiya Pendleton, was killed the Chicago home of President Obama by a stray bullet. Michael Ward, 18, and Kenneth Williams, 20, are now charged with one count of first-degree murder, two counts of attempted murder and aggravated battery with a firearm,

These were probably unregistered guns which would never be registered. Criminals don´t register guns.
So her desire wouldn´t do diddly.
All the gun control advocates don´t realize the quantity of guns which would be left in criminals possession after law abiding citizens were relieved of their guns.

Maybe she should denounce the black culture of death and anti-social behavior and its despicable "leaders." Dr. Ben Carson may be an alternative, along with Clarence Thomas and a host of others.

This has nothing to do with nothing, but I saw a picture of her and I believe she was either wearing a mink coat or a very good looking faux mink coat. Where´s Peta?
Who would she like to be in her daughter´s revolution? Blacks on blacks? Blacks on whites? I don´t think whites have anything to do with the killing in her town except for her white mayor who is either unwilling or unable to make it stop.

WGN had an exclusive last night with the father and his instant reaction to an arrest, poisoning the jury pool. Any defense attorney (Southern Poverty Law Center) would instantly demand a change of venue and 24 hour protection for his clients. In a week, this will be off the news as a plea arrangement is quietly made. No gun charges will be filed.

Gun control is only to hurt honest men and women. It helps the criminal and the dictators. Easy to attack the NRA when the problem is within the black community itself. No one is causing girls to have children. No one is causing the culture to glorify gangsta rap. No one but the entertainment field is to blame for promoting degrading of females and violence. Obama cares nothing about anyone. If he loved his ´people´ he would help them take responsibility. But the Evil One is only interested in power. I have a scorn for those who seek personal power..no matter what label they put after their name.

She is wrong. It takes more than a revolution. It takes repentance & a turning back to God. These young lives are being lost because many prefer lawlessness to godliness. No number of human laws are going to fix gangs until the black community recognizes its responsibility in allowing black marriages to die.

You say you want a revolution?
But if you want money for people with minds that hate All I can tell you is brother you have to wait
You say you´ll change the Constitution Well you know We all want to change your head
You tell me it´s the institution Well you know You better free your mind instead
But if you go carrying pictures of Chairman Mao You ain´t going to make it with anyone anyhow
What the Left needs is a revolution of thought, but they seek a revolution of violence that they purport to abhor.

The revolution that Cleoptra is calling for has to be in stopping the liberal view that blacks are perpetual children, or worse, inferior to the white race. Viewing American born blacks as a group that can´t be expected to accept our mores and cultural values provides liberals (Democrats) endless excuses to blame America for the crime, the astounding illegitimacy rates and the endless dehumanizing behavior,
While liberals will bristle at the charge, the obvious failure of so many blacks to accept the norms of Western society is overlooked. Instead, Dutch slavers in 1690 are at fault, not the people born here 300 years later.

#18, I will have to file that line away for future use.
OP, "sic" is only used to mock people at churches and Tea Party rallies who dare to misspeak.
That having been said, what that child deserved was to be raised in a decent neighborhood without feral animals roaming the streets. My parents had to move a lot because of my father´s job, and they often would select a modest house in the town with safe streets and great schools, instead of living in a much larger place in a bad neighborhood. When parents make sacrifices for their kids, those sacrifices pay off. The decesased young lady´s mother does not look like one to make sacrifices for anyone. Now she can join the Gabby Giffords-Mark Kelly Express and make a buck off of her misfortune.

What´s the prospect of finding the killer of Donald Young (the intimate of obama) and his friend who was so brutally assassinated once obama started campaigning? All were members of the Rev. Wright´s church of the down-low.
Did they EVEN try to solve those murders?

Cleopatra needed to hire a moving van before her daughter was murdered. Now she wants a revolution because she chose to play Russian roulette with her children´s education and lives. How many millions of Americans have fled formerly nice neighborhoods when they´ve been overrun by violent lowlifes but I guess Cleopatra couldn´t be bothered.

It is a shame when someone is killed and someone is promising as this young lady was. But, you need to start cleaning up your neighborhoods, maybe you should have moved if it was so dangerous, maybe you should have spoken up and demanded gang violence be stopped, maybe you could have worked with the police to identify gang members. Start in the inner city neighborhoods and that is where the revolution you desire against guns should start.

The city failed to keep a public park it knew was near a school safe for the community. It allowed a gang to take over the space. That is what set the stage for Hadiya´s murder. I would be delighted to see zero tolerance for gangs. They are criminal enterprises, and there´s not a doubt in my mind that Hadiya´s killers have rap sheets showing one slap on the wrist after another, rather than serious punishment.

My sympathies on the loss of your bright and lovely daughter, Ms. Cowley. I know nothing could be more difficult. But the "revolution" that could save lives is not gun control, it´s a cultural revolution that needs to happen in the inner cities. Stop protecting the gangster rappers and film makers. Stop protecting those who elevate thugs.

Re: mink coats...here in Durham, fur coats are almost exclusively seen on black women (not white) even on the most balmy days and even in the most inappropriate settings, such as waiting rooms at Duke Medical Center.
If ya got it, flaunt it, right? As for me, I gave my furs to the hospital auxilliary resale shop years ago. Not because I am a PETA nut, but because it´s just too hot down here to wear fur.

The two who have been arrested had illegal guns. Gun control would have done nothing to stop them. In fact, in Illinois, it´s already illegal to have a concealed carry (but soon to be legal, with permits, thanks to SCOTUS).

#39, we "should care" whether the inner-city mother wears fur and has a smart phone because it shows they may have had the financial resources to live elsewhere, but chose to stay in a troubled area. That illustrates they do have control over their destiny. I also noticed the *diamond* studs in her ears, and purple eyeshadow. Who goes into full fashion/make-up mode to attend their child´s funeral?
PS: Also noted the mother and daughter had different last names.

(Snip)But the two dug in over their differences, with Russia backing the regime of President Bashar al-Assad with heavy weaponry as the Obama administration has ordered the Central Intelligence Agency to begin arming Mr. Assad´s opponents.

I’ve been in this economics business for a while. In fact, I’ve been in it so long I still remember what people considered normal in those long-ago days before the financial crisis. Normal, back then, meant an economy adding a million or more jobs each year, enough to keep up with the growth in the working-age population. Normal meant an unemployment rate not much above 5 percent, except for brief recessions. And while there was always some unemployment, normal meant very few people out of work for extended periods.

Houtson--As a partner and chief diversity officer at Thompson & Knight, Pauline Higgins was not afraid to press the issue of hiring minorities at the 126-year-old Texas law firm. But when she left in 2008, she was replaced by an associate with less influence. Now, current and former partners say, the diversity committee meets less often, and the firm has fewer black lawyers than before. It is a trajectory familiar in many elite realms of American professional life. Even as racial barriers continue to fall, progress for African-Americans over all has remained slow

Windsor NC--Loggers here are clear-cutting a wetland forest with decades-old trees. Behind the move: an environmental push. The push isn´t in North Carolina but in Europe, where governments are trying to reduce fossil-fuel use and carbon-dioxide emissions. Under pressure, some of the Continent´s coal-burning power plants are switching to wood. But Europe doesn´t have enough forests to chop for fuel, and in those it does have, many restrictions apply. So Europe´s power plants are devouring wood from the U.S., where forests are bigger and restrictions fewer.

Some of the nation´s largest banks, including Wells Fargo [WFC +1.58%] & Co., suspended foreclosure sales in a number of states following guidance issued last month by federal banking regulators. While some foreclosures have since resumed, the halt marks the latest dustup over how foreclosures are handled. Banks said their actions were triggered by a four-page bulletin issued last month by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the Federal Reserve. The bulletin outlined basic operating standards for foreclosure sales. Many of the nation´s largest banks were already operating under consent orders with the OCC or the Fed

A group of whistleblowers, including a number of aviation experts, have come forward in a new documentary to claim that the official explanation for the crash of TWA Flight 800 was wrong and a gas tank explosion did not bring down the flight off the coast of Long Island 17 years ago. However, the six whistleblowers, all part of the original investigation team, stopped short of saying the plane was shot down. Flight 800, a Boeing 747, had just taken off from JFK airport with 230 people aboard on July 17, 1996 enroute to Paris when it exploded

Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, lied to the Senate when he said there was never a “stand down” order during the Benghazi attack on Sept. 11, 2012. “What was fascinating is that he explained his lie to them,” Joe DiGenova, an attorney representing one of the whistleblowers, told CNSNews.com. “He actually said they were sent to Tripoli. They were needed in Benghazi,” said DiGenova, a former U.S. attorney, now with the Washington firm of DiGenova & Toensing.

Amid a steady rise of backlash, Edward Snowden, the 29-year-old former National Security Agency contractor who was the source of a spring of leaks about the agency´s surveillance methods, conducted a live chat on The Guardian´s website Monday morning. Judging from some of the pointed questions he´s been asked and the reaction to newly leaked revelations over the past few days, it´s clear that much of the sympathy and support Snowden had built up for his early exposures is eroding. Many Americans supported his decision to leak information about a pair of National Security Agency surveillance programs, which, he detailed, gathered information

Listening to Barack Obama give his speech in Belfast on Monday, it was hard not to stifle a yawn. I kept waiting for the part when he would say something interesting, but, about three quarters of the way through, realised it wasn’t going to come. Judging from television pictures some of his young audience felt the same, after the initial rush of euphoria of receiving the rock star president in their midst had passed. This is not surprising, for we had already heard this number about the inspirational role of the Northern Ireland peace process and the Emerald Isle’s

Charlie Rose last night asked President Obama his new Syria policy. The president first objected to it being called a new policy. "I´m not sure you can characterize this as a new policy. This is consistent with the policy that I´ve had throughout," he said. Obama then explained the goal is regional stability, and especially in Syria. "Really, what we´re trying to do is take sides against extremists of all sorts and in favor of people who are in favor of moderation, tolerance, representative government, and over the long-term, stability and prosperity for the people of Syria," said Obama.

Marco Rubio. Paul Ryan. The IRS. Illegal immigration. And fraud to the tune of billions.. Now there’s a combustible mix. Let’s start with the IRS, illegal immigration and fraud. We’ll come back in a minute to Senator Rubio and Congressman Ryan. For those who came in late, a year before the IRS scandals burst onto the scene in early May of 2013, an alert investigative reporter for WTHR-Indianapolis (Channel 13), Bob Segall by name, produced a stunning piece of journalism. Segall’s video report is found here and we will quote from his story for the basics.
