Perhaps sending the message that it’s a great time to off Madeline Haithcock will help make clear the kind of hate she is generating with her effort to name a street after the late, convicted robber and accused kidnapper, Fred Hampton.

I'm sure she'd like to have it both ways.
Sheriff Willis V. McCall (Florida),
Sheriff Jim Clark and The Alabama State Police, Sheriff Rainey and Deputy Sheriff Cecil Price (Miss),
Sheriff Z. T. Matthews (Georia)Sheriff Eugene "BULL" O'Connor (ALA),Lester Maddox, George Wallace these were the more vocal and televised images of law and order.
So when a group like The "Black Panther's" arrive on the scene they aren't seen as "The Bad Guys" well at least not in most Black communities, with "America's Slide Rule Morality Gauge" people are able to slide back into the past and place todays moral standards on incidents and groups of a by gone era. A prime example would be saying that Slavery was wrong then and still considered a wrong now.
But to say that slavery was how things were done then and to wait a hundred years past to say that it was wrong is unacceptable. It's always fascinate me that people who scream the most today, were mute to the point of non exsistence during the course of these on-going travesties of injustice. The irony about Chicago is that almost 8 years after this infamous raid on the Black Panthers, The City of Chicago via of Justice Prentice Marshall were forced to opens it ranks and files to minorities and women who had been systematically denied job opportunities purely by racial and gender discrimination. I DO NOT endorse the renaming of West Monroe St. in honor of Fred Hampton, but I do understand the rationale of why some might think that its a good idea.
The Black Panthers did not take their fight to the South but instead targeted big city cops that were just protecting the neighborhoods were the Panthers were living. I don't buy your argument.
The only good Black Panther is a dead Black Panther!
What me check? No way, you do it!
The BPP was every bit as evil as the KKK. Remember the KKK was created after grave injustices involved with post Civil War reconstruction.
Injustices don't get somehow fixed or eliminated by killing innocents over simple hate.
