The Breaking News website has the following stories all in a row today:
- Authorities this evening were seeking the public's help in finding a 16-year-old girl who went missing Thursday from Chicago's Englewood neighborhood on the South Side.
- Chicago police were still searching for a 15-year-old girl who was reported missing in April, police said this evening.
- Chicago police this evening were hoping the public could help find a 14-year-old boy who was reported missing in October.
- A 14-year-old girl has been missing for about a month and Chicago police this evening are seeking the public's help in finding her.
- A 73-year-old man with dementia went missing this morning and Chicago police this evening are trying to find him.
Of course, this is all because of the 12-year-old girl who went missing for two weeks, then turned up dead in an alley close to home. Bobby Rush has been throwing around the accusations of racism in the investigation while J-Fed is saying computer errors may have led to a breakdown of an alert being issued. Both excuses are merely that - excuses. And both are part fact and part bullshit.
The Department handles an obscene amount of missing persons cases yearly. One figure we saw was something like 20,000 annually. The clearance rate is ridiculous, too - 90% and better. That's because the criteria for taking Missing Report are low (anyone can report anyone else missing for any reason with no time limit) and most missing persons return on their own in a few days. The media can't be forced to cover all these missing people and even when an alert goes out, we don't see them on television with any sort of regularity. The only ones we ever see are the elderly dementia patients.
Someone can cut and paste the next paragraphs and send them to Eric Holder who claims America is a nation of cowards when it comes to discussions about race.
The fact is, the missing white girl is the anomaly. It isn't racist - the facts bear it out. It's what sells papers and drives viewership. Black America doesn't want to face the fact and deal with the fallout that their 16, 15, 14, even 13 and 12-year-old missing persons are shacking up with 19, 25, sometimes even 30-year-old men, getting pregnant and giving rise to yet another generation of people destined to be unemployed, sucking up tax money, populating prisons and continuing the cycle of destructive behavior prevalent in that community.
Point out one thing racist in that paragraph.
Maybe Mary Mitchell could stop writing her bullshit columns about how everyone is to blame for the plight of her people except the face in the mirror and start running a daily feature of runaways and "missing" girls who turn up after a weekend away with some man they met on the party line or the computer who is going to make them a star. Even if there are only 10,000 missing people a year in Chicago, that's 27 profiles Mope-rah could run in her column EVERY SINGLE DAY.
