Will the liberal media cover this? The residents have every reason to be angry. Why should the city go to the trouble and expense for Obama's library when they haven't fixed the issue with availability of emergency medical care? Gee, if they end up with the library, I guess people can check out the medical books and try to administer their own emergency care. They live in a high crime area and there is a great need for emergency care. Since the violence isn't being addressed, they really should do more to help the victims.
"Holding up signs such as "no trauma, no ‘bama," many residents criticized the university for vying to build a new library while making no real attempt to reopen its trauma center. The closing of the trauma center in 1988 has been linked to an increase mortality rates, as residents of the violence-ridden South and West sides of Chicago face an ambulance ride of at least 10 miles to proper medical care. -
"The coalition [of protestors] doesn’t see it as an either/or, but rather it’s a lack of will. It’s a matter of priorities," Marla Bramble, director of organizing for the Jewish Council on Urban Affairs, which participated Tuesday night, told The Huffington Post. "We would like to see [the university start making steps to develop the level 1 trauma center."
Adding fuel to the fire, the University of Chicago recently revealed that it would be seeking to use parkland to build the library if the president selects their bid. It seems that even Rahm Emanuel’s support may not be enough to stem protests about taking away Chicago Park District land to create the Obama Library. "
