In 2012 this happened:

Update ST CLOUD – MINNESOTA – A Stearns County judge sentenced 18-year-old Jesse Smithers to 10 years on Thursday. Smithers admitted to delivering the deadly punch in a St. Cloud alley almost a year and a half ago.

On Sept. 21, 2012, Colton Gleason was walking with friends when a car pulled up, and Smithers got out and punched him. Colton died after falling and hitting his head.

His father, John Gleason, says the pain, bitterness and hurt his family feels did not go away with the sentencing of the man responsible for his son’s death. (more…)

21-year-old Tayvon Martin shot three people, killing one, last year.    He had been on the run for over nine months and was caught/arrested recently after he returned back to the Denver Colorado area.

However, within the manner of murder you find an almost unbelievable irony, wrapped in apropos and topped with a bow sprinkled with metaphor.

Before being killed, the murder victim was asked a question:

“Do You Know Who Baby B.O Is” ?

(referencing the statement by President Obama about having a son who would look like Trayvon Martin)

That’s when Tayvon Martin stepped up, introduced himself, said “that’s me“, pulled a silver revolver and calmly shot the victim, Gabriel Scott, in the back of the head. (more…)

Advocating to Reinstitute Voting Rights Because A Felon is Black is Just As Racist As Denying Reinstitution Because A Felon Is Black

The media-avoided issue inherent within the position of Eric Holder is his open racist intent.   Were he to be in a position of advocacy for all released felons based on the premise their collective debt to society is paid in full, and voting rights should be reinstated, it would be a reasonable discussion.   However, that’s not the framework.   No, this Attorney General is framing his position around the race of one single group of felons, blacks.

WASHINGTON DC – Attorney General Eric Holder is urging states to restore voting rights to former prison inmates.

Holder says 11 states continue to restrict voting rights after a person has served a prison sentence and is no longer on probation or parole.   He says nearly one in 13 African-American adults is banned from voting because of these laws.

Holder’s remarks, delivered at a symposium on the nation’s criminal justice system, are part of his initiative seeking fundamental changes to the system.

Last August, Holder instructed federal prosecutors to stop charging many nonviolent drug defendants with offenses that carry mandatory minimum sentences. He said long mandatory terms have flooded the nation’s prisons with low-level drug offenders and diverted money away for crime fighting. Holder is working with Congress to address the problem.  (read more)

Hiring Someone Because They Are Black is Just As Racist As Not Hiring Someone Because They Are Black

Former Community Relations Service Director, Ondray Harris, quit last year because he was under pressure in Washington DC to only hire black people.   Mr. Harris saw this as discrimination.   President Obama signed an executive order in 2010 to change school disciplinary standards for only black males.  Now this….. 

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama is obtaining commitments from foundations, businesses and community groups to help young minority men improve their employment opportunities and to intervene before some of them get sucked into the criminal justice system.

Obama is launching the “My Brother’s Keeper” initiative Thursday, matching his State of the Union pledge to “help more young men of color … stay on track and reach their full potential.”

The president has invited business, foundation and community leaders to the White House Thursday to announce the effort.

The unemployment rate last month for African-American men over the age of 20 was 12 percent, compared with 5.4 percent for white men. Hispanic men over the age of 20 faced an unemployment rate of 8.2 percent.  (read more)

David Simon, a former police beat reporter in Baltimore, MD and creator of the popular television series, “The Wire” implies that Libertarians in America are “greedy” and decries Libertarianism as a “juvenile” idea that he “just can’t get past….”  

Clearly upset that Fabian ideology is not taking root in the 20-somethings community, while the Libertarian movement is growing as an identified political affiliation in the cohort,  he gave a speech in Australia in November, 2013 at the “Dangerous Ideas” conference declaring “Libertarianism in my country is now being taken seriously as an intelligent mode of political thought… it’s astonishing to me… ” (around the 8:00 – 10:00 mark) and then goes on a screed to deliberately disparage and attempt to dismiss the Libertarian school of thought – including the assertion that Libertarians are “anti-government” (as Moyers chuckles along in agreement…)  Fraidy cat!

ALABAMA – (wkrg)  […]   Victim Mr. Carroll Jordan – A generous man to everyone who knew him—even lending his car to those who needed it.

“Tried to be a good neighbor.”

But that kindness was struck down when two men and a woman walked through his open front door, pulled him from his favorite chair, beat and stabbed him several times. One of those men was 18-year-old Robert Campbell who was arrested this morning after being found at a relative’s house. Jordan’s neighbor actually interrupted the crime.

Initially the politically correct and fearful authorities did not want to admit this was a crime of specific intent.   However, once they were going to release the bus video they needed to back-track and admit the actual motive.    If they did not admit the obvious their PC-ism would have been widely recognized by the public.

FLINT, MI – Police say a Mass Transportation Authority bus driver was punched in the face as part of the so-called “knockout game” that’s gained national attention.

The “knockout game” has been blamed for attacks in several cities and involves suspects punching strangers for no reason.

The Flint bus incident occurred around 6:40 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 23, when a man was attacked while driving the bus.

The driver suffered several facial injuries, according to police. Another teen filmed the incident as it took place.

Police originally said the incident occurred because one of the suspects was upset about having to pay a bus fare, but further investigation showed it was a planned attack, said Flint police Capt. Collin Birnie.

“This was planned, orchestrated and filmed,” he said. (more…)

Ann Coulter – As House Republicans prepare to sell out the country on immigration this week, Phyllis Schlafly has produced a stunning report on how immigration is changing the country. The report is still embargoed, but someone slipped me a copy, and it’s too important to wait.

Leave aside the harm cheap labor being dumped on the country does to the millions of unemployed Americans. What does it mean for the Republican Party?

Citing surveys from the Pew Research Center, the Pew Hispanic Center, Gallup, NBC News, Harris polling, the Annenberg Policy Center, Latino Decisions, the Center for Immigration Studies and the Hudson Institute, Schlafly’s report overwhelmingly demonstrates that merely continuing our current immigration policies spells doom for the Republican Party.

You can watch the video to see the familiar “knockout attack”.  

However, what you won’t see mentioned is the fact the victim is white and the perpetrators black.    There’s another version of the video available at this link.

NORTHEAST PHILADELPHIA – January 29, 2014 (WPVI) — A Northeast Philadelphia middle school student was the victim of a random attack – video of which was later posted online.

Police now say two suspects have been arrested and investigators are looking for a third. They also say this definitely appears to be a part of the so-called knockout game.

“It’s a little disturbing to see kids engaging in this activity they thinks it’s funny,” Philadelphia Police Lt. John Stanford said. (more…)

DETROIT (WWJ) – He’s been dubbed the “Blow Torch Rapist” and Detroit police say he’s struck again.

The latest attack occurred just before 7 a.m. Wednesday in a largely abandoned neighborhood near Plymouth and Meyers roads the city’s west side.

A 43-year-old woman told police she was leaving a gas station when a man came behind her and put a gun to her head. The woman said her attacker forced her into a car, ripped off her clothes and began burning her face with a blow torch.

Police say the victim stabbed the man in the eye with a screwdriver and was able to get away and call for help. She’s currently hospitalized in stable condition. (more…)
