We first heard about this last week amid chatter in social media, and thanks to a link from Nivico it is now apparently confirmed – Tamir Rice’s mom, Samaria Rice, has fired Benjamin Crump as the family attorney in Cleveland.

From a local CLEVELAND article:

[…] Before the rally, Samaria Rice told Northeast Ohio Media Group that she is no longer being represented by attorneys Benjamin Crump and Walter Madison. She  dropped Crump and Madison last week and retained New York lawyers Jonathan Abady and Earl Ward, her third pair of lawyers since Tamir was killed.

“I wanted to make sure Tamir’s interests were put first,” she said. “I want the best representation for Tamir and myself. I needed to be able to sleep comfortably at night without wondering if someone was making decisions without my knowledge.”

This is one of those stories with multiple layers and angles for consideration embedded.

Summary:  Injured, innocuous (not black),  man wraps hand in towel and waves down a cop for help.  LAPD Cop gets out of vehicle shouting “put down the gun” (man never had gun) apparently anticipating a handgun under the towel.   Confused man unable to comply (man never had gun); without compliance cop draws weapon and shoots man four times, once in the head.  Now the man is really, really, injured – as the police roll him over in his blood (witness video) and handcuff him while waiting for ambulance.  Rushed to the hospital in critical condition – original hand injury now irrelevant to his bullet to head injury.

…And the one speck of hope that he left in the town,
Was a crumb much too small to stop Ferguson’s frown.

Then he did the same thing to the other folks towns’,
Pitting neighbor on neighbor and burning it down.
Leaving naught but despair in his racism wake,
As the nation caught on, “why he’s only a snake”.

Then a town in the South, it came under attack,
Their fine folks were murdered – the devil was back.
Oh, he relished the thought of those folks filled with rage,
“Why, it’s the ultimate audience for my racism stage”.

So he packed up his bags at a quarter to six,
And headed down South with his racism tricks.
“The anger, the rage, it’s my ultimate prize”,
The Grinchy-Ray said with such hate in his eyes.

DALLAS (CBSDFW.COM) – A hip hop concert at The House of Blues led to a massive brawl in downtown Dallas Sunday night.

We are responding to a large crowd disturbance. It is an ongoing situation.

This evening, the Dallas Police Department unleashed crowd control support after fights broke out over cheap tickets. Artist J. Cole had initially offered a surprise $1 concert during his “Dollar And A Dream”.

Police say that over 600 took to the streets — a few involved in physical altercations — causing part of the area to shut down until further notice. Street closures include Lamar, Houston, and Victory streets (more…)

Meet The Press aired a discussion story featuring New York prison inmates discussing the regret they carry for using guns.  The actual piece is very powerful, but almost immediately the politically correct crowd jumped into action because the prison inmates were black.

It appears from the lead-in, and the following conversation, the NBC panel was already hyper-sensitive and fraught with precursory guilt about airing the video.  Watch (it might not be available long):

The latest example:

CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCIV) — A Confederate monument at White Point Gardens was vandalized with graffiti.

The graffiti was discovered Sunday morning as thousands gathered downtown to honor the victims killed at Emanuel AME Church.

The words ‘Black Lives Matter’ and ‘This was the problem #racist’ is spray painted on the base. The vandals also called out Mayor Joe Riley and Governor Nikki Haley scrawling “Riley and Haley -Why defend this evil -This the root of our evil.”

A couple of local men moved quickly to cover the base with a tarp but it was just as quickly uncovered by other passers-by.

A lively debate soon followed, attracting Barry Tighe from the organization Code Pink. He wrote up his own sign that read “Take down racist statues” and it was followed by a local protester’s sign that read “All lives matter #CharlestonUnited.” (more…)

Police do not know the reason for the shooting, and are still investigating.

At least three of the victims who were shot were women, ages 30, 45, and 26.  Asst. Chief Steve Dolunt said it’s a miracle no kids were shot as many were present during the shooting. (more…)

The New York Times and the Daily Mail are both reporting the South Carolina mass murderer Dylann Roof wrote a 2,500 word manifesto on a website called TheLastRhodesian.com.    There are also pictures on the website reported to show Dylann Root burning and spitting on U.S. flags.

I have visited the site and read his nonsense, however I have not verified the pictures are there, nor viewed the content of those pictures, because it requires a zip.file download to view them and I’m not downloading sketchy content based on the NYT or Daily Mail.

We’ll take their word for it, or if you want to see it yourself you can here.

What immediately jumps out, noted in both pictures and words, is that Dylann Roof has an almost identical set of racial values as Valdosta State University flag burner and similarly self-proclaimed racist, Eric Sheppard Jr.

Root and Sheppard are the mirror image of each other.  One is white, the other is black, but their ideology about race is as identical as it is diametrically opposite.

Eric Sheppard Jr. also produced a manifesto last month, and a video diatribe, which was sent to, and published by, the Valdosta Daily Times when Sheppard was on the run from law enforcement.

Previously the Valdosta Daily Times printed the full Sheppard Manifesto.

In order to compare views from both Roof and Sheppard for yourself, and not read the manifesto through the prism of the presenting media ideology describing it, here is Dylan Roof’s Manifesto in full – you can compare Sheppard to Roof. (more…)
