I’d like to help the Maywood Art Committee with Chairman Hampton’s statue design. I’d re-create that wonderful scene where he robbed an ice cream vendor right there in his very own hometown. What a great example for all the children of Maywood!
It was a miserable time for law enforcement when the Black Panthers organized under one unified goal, killing cops. They put on a show for news cameras feeding an occasional breakfast to a black child. The ammunition budget was far more substantial then their free breakfast budget. That fact was well documented with scores of funerals for fallen cops ambushed and murdered by the cowardly Black Panther Party members.

Fred Hampton lived by the gun and died by the gun one very cold Chicago December morning in 1969. Chicago cops assigned to the Cook County State’s Attorney’s Police raided a Westside flat. When the raid culminated Fred Hampton and another piece of human refuse, Mark Clark were displayed on the Cook County Coroner’s autopsy tables. At least these two terrorists would no longer be a threat to White people or cops.
That raid on the heavily armed Black Panthers was litigated for decades. Three-score and eight years later some Chicago history revisionists have rewritten that disgusting and violent chapter of history. They can rewrite history all they want but the descendants of many fine murdered cops will always know the truth.

Maybe if their community honored people of peace, education and human decency they would achieve more then senseless violence. Violence that is perpetrated by their own, not white police officers.
I do not agree with honoring people for terrorist acts of violence. But I find it interesting that the people who were responsible for the oppression of a race of people now have the answer to their "freedom." There would never have been a Black Panther Party, a NAACP, or any other "Negro" organization, had there not been an oppression of its people.
White people terrorized black people for years, and honored the perpetrators by never prosecuting the crimes, or by sitting on juries and finding them "not guilty."
In closing, you will have more success by solving the problem, not treating the symptoms.
Remember it was Blacks that hunted, captured and sold slaves to Whites. We need to put the evil behind us and move forward to peace and prosperity.
