The Post’s Courtland Milloy asks in his column today, “What does bin Laden’s slaying teach kids?”
He takes that question to young people in Southeast D.C.
Here’s what they said:
“You get on the wrong side of the wrong people, you reap what you sow.”
“People who kill innocent bystanders during drive-by shootings are no different from people who operate drones that do fly-by bombings and kill innocent people. If one is wrong, then all are wrong.”
“They can catch and kill bin Laden after 10 years, thousands of miles away, but we have hundreds of unsolved murders right in the midst of all these police and they just call ours ‘cold cases’ after a few months.”
“They can find billions of dollars to build schools and homes and give people jobs in Iraq and Afghanistan. All they do around here is tear things down, move us into neighborhoods where people are beefing and put up expensive condos where we used to live.”
