Jimmy's coming, but where are the activists?

Jimmy's coming, but where are the activists? - Chicago Tribune: "
If Jimmy Fallon really wants to grab Mayor Rahm Emanuel's attention when he brings "The Tonight Show" to Chicago for another mutual ear-licking session, Jimmy might ask this:
When will Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson Sr. show up in Chicago to show Ferguson-style outrage over the assassination of 9-year-old Antonio Smith?
I don't think Rahm will like that too much.
And neither will Sharpton or Jackson.
But a little boy has been gunned down by Chicago street gangs — the shooter allegedly said, "I just hit a shorty, I just hit a shorty," and there has been precious little national outrage over it.
There was plenty of televised outrage over the Ferguson, Mo., death of unarmed black teenager Michael Brown, who was shot by a white cop.
9-year-old is executed: 
Where's the outrage?
