LET HE WHO IS WITHOUT SIN?

By Abdul Hakim-Shabazz

Some folks in this town are trying to make a little political hay about the solicitation arrest of Olgen M. Williams, the 28-year old son of Deputy Mayor Olgen Williams.   The younger Williams was arrested the day before Mayor Greg Ballard announced the “Peace in the Streets” campaign at the Christamore House where the older Williams was the former director and his son Aaron is overseeing the “Peace in the Streets” program.

The “piece in the streets” line has already been used ad nauseum, so there’s no need to go down that route.  But need I remind my friends who want to take a shot at Olgen Williams for the actions of his son, need I remind you of the 2006 DUI arrest of the son of another public figure and there was not a peep heard from those who would shoot off their mouths today. 

Luckily neither parent tried to excuse the bad behavior of their child.  But it is funny how these things can escape us sometimes.
