"You can kill a revolutionary, but you can't kill a revolution." On December 4th, 1969, Black Panther Fred Hampton was gunned down in his apartment by members of the Chicago Police Department. The report alledging that the CPD acted in self-defense was demolished by reporters of the time (though there doesn't seem to be any internet trace of it), but the officers were exonerated anyway.

For instance, you know Celia from work, where you eat lunch together and talk about work, co-workers, and pop culture stuff. You know Boilingowls from a forum, where you've hashed out musical tastes, your son's pyromania troubles, what that thing is growing under your armpit, and revealed being the second gunman. Given both of them live in your city, who do you want to meet for coffee when your kid finally manages to burn down his school over the weekend?
