Glenn Beck proves again that he has zero street knowledge
I have studied gangs for many years, and there isn't one statement in Glenn Beck's video that you can take for a fact. He states that the kid was killed with a railroad tye - totally false. Anyone with a half an ounce of street knowledge could guess that is a board off of a park bench. How many skinny gang bangers can swing a 100 lbs railroad tye? He states that this happened because we took prayer out of the public schools and off of money. Not even a nice try - Beck - the seed for gang violence was planted in the 40s and 50s. The Chicago gang - the Cornell Square Rebels - killed two people and beat up two Chicago Police Officers all before the year of 1959, when their was prayer in the public schools. A 1957 New York Times article listed the words used by gang members so parents could listen and see if their kids were involved in gang activity. Beck - a little research before making a commentary goes a long way.
It goes to prove that I have forgot more about gangs than Glenn Beck knows.
Have fun listening to nothing! A brain is a terrible thing to waste!
I'm becoming very jaded about these kinds of breakthroughs. I've been reading about them for 15 years on the Internet - and yet - treatment is still horrific chemo and radiation. And so many people still dieing before their time.
So, while I don't give up hope completely, I cynically view these kinds of PR exercises as more about raising funds for an IPO, boosting stock prices etc - than an actual breakthrough.
Good find. I liked the whole breakdown of the last paragraph but I don't need to be reminded constantly that religious people are traipsing around in logical fallacies though.
