CHICAGO, Illinois (CNN) -- The Rev. Michael Pfleger has ordered the American flag at St. Sabina Church hung upside-down -- a historic sign of distress -- to symbolize the growing death toll among the city's youngsters.
So far this school year, 36 children and teens have been murdered -- more than one a week -- and Pfleger is among a chorus of weary Chicagoans who say the slayings aren't getting the attention they deserve.
Chicago. It's controlled by a powerful democrat party. It's hometown of the president. It's a dangerous place to be a kid.
More kids have been murdered in Chicago than have died of the swine flu in the entire country.
So this issue is getting some national attention. You know what we'll will hear out of Chi-town..."we need more tax dollars for programs to protect these kids."
Folks, that ain't the answer. Its time for a change. When will people wake up and realize the democrats are playing them? When the teat runs dry?
