It's a recruiting tool we can use against Loyola, UIC & DePaul....

Here's a kid who had a tremendous scholarship to a school in Chicago but turned it down and chose Bradley instead...

...in order to get out of Chicago and the violence that exists there..
read his story...

"Lander Braggs, a 17-year old African American high school senior .. recently gave up a chance to attend
a prestigious college in Chicago because of the city??™s violence.

...he turned down a full tuition $80,000 scholarship to attend the prestigious Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT)
because he fears becoming a victim of Chicago??™s inner city violence.

..???I??™m just thinking, like, I don??™t want that for me. I want to be able to just go through life and not have to worry
about what??™s going to happen to me tomorrow. With all that??™s going on in Chicago, with all the violence and everything
..I just wanted a different environment.???

This really isn't new. I remember Greg Jones stating he felt safer in Peoria than in Chicago. I think that is one of the reasons Greg and Jerry Thomas stayed in Peoria after graduation

wow - very sad news out of Chicago - especially in light of the police personnel being trashed by so many outspoken "leaders"....

Memorial Day weekend in Chicago...
at least 56 people shot - a DOZEN reported KILLED

....then this.... "no arrests have been made..."

Baltimore reported 29 shootings and NINE deaths - compared to the same Holiday weekend interval in 2014 when there were zero shootings and zero deaths
May has seen 35 gunshot deaths in Baltimore in a single month...105 for the calendar year 2015 -
this has been the worst month and they're on track for the worst year in more than a decade & a half...
Gotta wonder if the politics, activism, and "protests" have made this far, far worse - with the very victims being those the protesters want protected!
 
total disconnect - fiddling while the city burns - but an overwhelming favorite to get re-elected - :roll:
