Black Cats, White Mice

The City of Chicago is considered the most corrupt city in the United States of America and a group high profile Chicagoans unite to clean this corruption up by any means necessary. In 1999 the Chicago Tribune released an article titled, "The Flip-side of a Fair Trial." It described the "Two-Ton Contest," which was an "ongoing competition among prosecutors to be the first to convict defendants whose weight totaled 4,000 pounds. Men and women, upon conviction, were marched into the room and weighed. The competition was also referred to as "Niggers by the Pound". Most of those former prosecutors are now judges. During the same time period of "Niggers by the Pound" hundreds of Black men accused Jon Burge and officers under his command of torture. Some of the alleged victims were as young as 13. "Niggers by the pound" also flipped a lot of these innocent young men into rats.
