Posted In: Commentary, Just "Why?", Our Expression

One of my very first posts in 2009 had to do with the 500th homicide victim in Chicago back in 2008, Kermit Delashment. I had tried several times to nail down an interview with the parents, but it just did not work out. Kermit’s aunt has touched bases with me from time to time and [...]
