remember the number of the amendment?\u00a0 The number comes from a dead-letter document written by white male slave owner haters icky icky.\u00a0 Asking this question is like the professional responsibility exam asking whether certain conduct is a conflict under Rule 1.8 or does it fall under 1.9.\u00a0 Who cares?\u00a0 We know we have rights, that\u2019s

City calls it the \u201cSummit-University\u201d avenue but that\u2019s just the boundary streets, those two areas have nothing in common.\u00a0 And this incident happened when police were called to multiple gunshots at 2:30 AM at 900 St. Anthony, which is the I-94 frontage road at about Lexington.\u00a0 I think we can assume the dead guy was completely innocent, just turning his life around, the usual . . . and kudos to Mayor Melvin Carter for taking a neutral approach.\u00a0 Nice for a change, unlike the ACLU, which jumped right in with accusations and demands.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a
