Not Me, Not Mine, Not Today

A man with a concealed carry license shot an armed man who tried to stick him up late Wednesday morning on the Southwest Side, Chicago police said. Shortly after 11:30 a.m., the victim was standing outside his vehicle in the 5300 block of South Pulaski Road when two men approached and demanded his car keys, police said.

Instead of handing over his keys, the victim shot one of the men in the groin area. The other man took off, but he was caught a short time later, police said.

The other robber, whose exact age is unknown, was arrested. Charges are pending against both, police said. A weapon was recovered.

According to Michigan Live, Hamtramck High School’s girls-only “Princess Prom” is “intended to create a safe space for Muslim girls who normally cover up in hijab to let their hair down in an environment with no boys and no cellphones.”

That said, it’s telling how “letting their hair down,” an afterthought for most women, can somehow be thought of as “empowering” for anyone who lives in an American city.

No word on whether students who identify as “non-binary” or transgender will be allowed to attend the prom.

I'm thinking I know the answer to that.
