News in the BC -October 3, 2010

.Granny's Got a Gun!

That's right! A Chicago resident, 68 year old lady shot a neighborhood thug who constantly harrassed her and many other neighbors. The thug, who is 12 years old and a ring leader, was shot in the arm and is currently in the hospital.

She was the brave one. The one who arose against the sea of violence trying to claim her Black community.

But what now? Will other rise to the occasion? Will they muster up some holy boldness and take whatever action is needed for their safety?

Only time will tell.
