take back the night. help me educate a few youngens about this.

including the domestic violence/community outreach person at the chicago police department.

i dont know about elsewhere, but they staged an alleged tbtn march here. i didnt go, but reliable witnessed confirmed my suspicions.
a little parade of middle class white people, afraid of getting their bikes stolen or their car windows smashed, waltzing through the area where there is a lot of "street crime", and they DIDNT EVEN DO IT AT NIGHT.
it was all over, dispersed, and my witness was on my porch with nearly an hour of light left.

i already got my rant for this policewoman.

i am between 2 big college campuses, with active womens groups. i fear they are about to get a demonstration of how to do it.


but please-

speak
