I agree with you Guest 4, but I'm gonna take it a step further. You might recall when Jesse Jackson was asked why he felt it incumbent upon him as a major civil rights leader to get involved in support of the bar owners of a ghetto club (sorry that’s exactly what it was),where people were killed. He mentioned the contribution of the parents of the bar owners to the civil rights movement in the sixties. Well, I think maybe the sons should have followed in the tradition of their parent’s( if what Jesse said is true) and created something that poor folks in their community needed other than a ghetto club ranking money in, and putting nothing out but bling bling. But some how I suspect that Jackson got a cut of the bling, or perhaps his son, Yusef’s Anheuser-Busch distributorship? I bet some where above Martin King is looking down shaking his head.

Maybe they should have spent some money keeping exit doors open so people wouldn't have had to die just for going out to a club.

Maybe Jesse Jackson Sr. who vocally campaigned for justice for the owners will find the stolen liquor. Or maybe it found its way into his basement bar. Up with hope!

Those poor, poor owners. They have suffered so much. I think I heard a plaintive violin tune in my head as I read that article. Oh, heck, I have to do something. I am going to forfeit my salary and have my boss send it to those owners.
