[Peace-discuss] Re: [Peace] Vigil tonight for Kiwane Carrington

[Ricky Baldwin]

That was quite an event last night.  My kids even went willingly, once we explained what it was for.  Anybody care to give us a report, for folks who had to leave or couldn't attend?
 
Here's the News-Gazette - http://www.news-gazette.com/news/local/2009/10/15/mourners_pay_respects_to_shooting_victim_in_the_rain   - - - but I don't think we agree that this death was " a result of" the call.  It was a result of a decision by an officer.  Let's evaluate it that way.
 
By the way, for those who may not remember local efforts for police review boards and such, it's particularly interesting that the shooter here is a familiar name - from the killing in police custody of Gregory Brown, one of the incidents that sparked the review board campaign back when.  Since then Champaign City Council has established at least 2 commissions to study the question of a review board, both of which recommended YES, and even the News-Gazette recently gave its lukewarm approval...  
 
Champaign City Council Tuesday?

There's a vigil tonight for Kiwane Carrington tonight, Wed. at 7:30 pm at 906 W. Vine, just off Prospect, where shooting occurred.
After the vigil there will be a rally with Rev. Meeks, location TBA.

Yesterday, the other 15 year old got out of juvenile detention.
The original burglary charge was dropped and the kid was given aggravated resisting arrest, a felony which carries 3 yrs.

There is a memorial fund at Busey Bank set up if you would like to donate to the funeral services.

Stay tuned at ucimc.org.
