Submitted by an UrbanMinistry Blogger on Sun, 04/01/2007 - 17:09

Bobby Jindal was born in Baton Rouge in 1971. His parents were in grad school there, recent immigrants from the Punjab in northern India. He was raised Hindu, but converted to Roman Catholicism in his teens. He went to Louisiana public schools, then Brown University, where he was an honors student in biology and public policy. A Rhodes Scholar, he was admitted to the medical and law schools of both Harvard and Yale—but chose Oxford instead.

SAMUEL'S FIRST POLICE QUESTIONING

Submitted by an UrbanMinistry Blogger on Fri, 07/27/2007 - 06:57

There was a shooting tonight across the street from my house. It happened around 1 a.m. We heard these loud BOOMS, about 3-4 of them (I thought) or 5-7 of them (Kafi thinks). People blow up a lot of @*$%# in my neighborhood, lots of firecrackers, and I just thought it was another exotic street explosive, so I went right back to sleep. But then Kafi told me there were a bunch of fire trucks and ambulances on the street. I got up to check. I went outside. The paramedics were carting a guy into one ambulance. My neighbors said that two guys had been shot, one in the head, one in the thigh. They wheeled out a second guy. Apparently they were doing steady CPR on the first guy. There are still police out on the street, and it's now almost 4 a.m.
