39. Had the 10-yr old w scissors been a boy rather than a girl, would the
AP article even have been published?

When police persecution of inner-city minority young women catches up with their near-enslavement of male minority youth, stories like this won't get past editors anymore--they'll be too ho-hum.

Like former members of busted unions whose jobs have gone overseas, minority urban young people caught up in a near-slavery "justice" system dominating THE MAJORITY of their lives are such a commonplace they aren't even considered newsworthy anymore.

Even in Minneapolis, let alone Atlanta or Jackson, Mississippi, ALMOST HALF of male minority youth are arrested by the police EVERY YEAR, and 20 percent cannot legally vote because they are currently caught up in the "justice" system. See http://www.jujitsufilms.com/justice/factsheet.htm .

That webpage is part of the promotion for a truly radical film about this issue, "JUSTICE", written and directed by a civil rights lawyer and starring Roger Guenveur Smith (who co-starred on HBO with James Carville in "K Street"). See http://www.themoviejustice.com .

This is another "Democratic base" issue those who get DLC funding must never mention.
