"Off the Pigs"--They Were Just Kidding! Power Line Amazingly enough, a proposal to rename a portion of a Chicago street in honor of Black Panther Fred Hampton, who was killed in a shootout with Chicago police in 1969, came close to being adopted. Thankfully, it has now been defeated. The Panthers were nothing more or less than a criminal gang. But Chicago alderman Madeline Haithcock, who sponsored the proposal to honor the murderous thugs, says it's all a misunderstanding: <<< "Certain interest groups have successfully conspired to confuse and intimidate the public on the issue," Haithcock wrote in a statement Wednesday. She said her effort to honor Hampton, regarded as a folk hero by some in the African-American community, was "in no way intended to divide the City Council or disrespect the 13,000 individuals serving the Chicago Police Department," the Chicago Tribune reported. >>> Right. When the Panthers said "Off the pigs," they meant no disrespect. powerlineblog.com upi.com
