Because the Freddie Gray story advances a specific narrative right in the sweet spot for check-box progressives who deliver liberal punditry on the network and try to convince America that it’s the majority view.

If a commercial airliner disappeared over Baltimore CNN would climax.

And the local liberal media in/around Baltimore Maryland are just giddy with praise.

Baltimore Sun: “When it comes to television, CNN has been in a league by itself in covering the Freddie Gray story“…

The professionally aggrieved have once again found a friend in CNN.

Mike Brown and Dorian Johnson were together on August 9th 2014. Both were stoned from smoking weed as they encountered Officer Darren Wilson. Dorian has given numerous statements to police and the federal Dept of Justice.

Mike Brown attacked officer Wilson as outlined in the statements of over 18 witnesses and corroborated by all physical and forensic evidence. The Civil Rights Division of the DOJ conducted an extensive investigation of the shooting details and came to the same conclusion: Mike Brown had attacked, and was in the process of reengaging an atttack upon, Officer Darren Wilson when Wilson shot him dead.
Obviously the immediate and extended family of Mike Brown has not looked at, read, nor been briefed by competent legal representation who would inform them of the facts and disposition of the events. The lawsuit filed by Ben Crump and Daryl Parks is beyond absurd (Full Pdf Below).
There is only one reason to file such a ridiculous claim; the family and their attorneys trying to get “go-away” extortion funds from the City of Ferguson Missouri. (more…)

CLAYTON • The family of Michael Brown Jr. plans to announce the filing of a wrongful death suit against the city of Ferguson during a news conference Thursday morning at the St. Louis County Courthouse.
Family members, along with their attorneys, Benjamin Crump, Anthony Gray, and Daryl Parks, plan to make the announcement.
Brown was shot and killed on Aug. 9 by then-Ferguson officer Darren Wilson, sparking protests for months. A grand jury did not issue charges against Wilson. (read more)

The VSU Flag stomping protest has brought sunlight upon a series of events on the VSU campus that has now expanded in an alarming manner.  This is no longer even remotely related to disrespecting or burning a flag.

VALDOSTA, Ga. — At 3:05 p.m. Wednesday, from the steps of Valdosta State University’s West Hall, the father of Eric Sheppard issued the following the statement:
“Son, you know we love you and have always taught you to do the right thing and make wise decisions. Please make the right decision and turn yourself in, either to the authorities or to me, and we will handle this together. We love you and are here for you, as you requested.”
— Eric Sheppard Sr., father of Eric Sheppard.

At the heart of the issue is a student agitator named Eric Sheppard Jr. who previously organized an event to stomp on the U.S.A. flag and then burn it.
An Air Force veteran, Michelle Manhart, inadvertently brought sunlight upon the VSU activity when she picked up the flag and would not allow it to be desecrated – she was initially arrested, then released.
The student group behind the Flag Burning initially refused to identify themselves. However, through researching the social media of event participants we discovered who they were, and more importantly identified their ideology.
Eric Sheppard Jr. was the organizer of the event, and is an advocate for a militant Black Supremacy movement. He is pictured throughout his social media profile with alarming messages supporting violence and carrying numerous weapons. (more…)

Baltimore Maryland – Hometown for Reverend Jamal Bryant and AME Empowerment Temple.  There’s an ideology, a belief system, embedded into the social fabric there:

→ Example #2 Middle School Takes 11-year-olds to hear Louis Farrakhan speech (link)

Last week we shared the story of “Baby Big Boss”, the Memphis Elementary School (pre-teen) living the thug lifestyle.  The images are stunning and alarming.  Seeing kids as young as eight years old smoking pot and proudly holding up guns is alarming to 99% of America that just can’t relate.
But it gets worse.  Here’s the same city, same mentality, except now High School instead of Elementary School…. It only gets worse.  Black Lives Matter ?
MEMPHIS, TN (WMC) –  A fight broke out in White Station High School on Tuesday afternoon.   Several cell phone videos that caught the chaos are spreading on social media.
In the videos you can see dozens of girls punching, kicking, and stomping one another. School resource officers even got into the fray in an attempt to break up the fights, which appeared to have also spilled into classrooms.

The first video posted on social media shows the fight happening in the cafeteria.
“First, I saw teachers and security scattering over each other,” said 11th grader John Rork. “A couple of girls all over each other. I saw scratches, hair falling out, a lot of hair pulling. This one girl jumped off a table and pushed another student in the face.” (more…)

The group of protesters angry about the death of Freddy Gray (in hospital following being taken into police custody) were captured on live CNN TV coverage shouting their desires to kill in retaliation.

The advocacy for violent confrontation comes on the same day the same day police released the names of the officers involved in the arrest of Freddie Gray. Gray died of a spinal injury Sunday, exactly one week after he was taken into custody.
Earlier in the day, the Baltimore Police Department released the names of six police officers suspended with pay. They are: •  Lt. Brian Rice, 41, who joined the department in 1997; •  Officer Caesar Goodson, 45, who joined in 1999; •  Sgt. Alicia White, 30, who joined in 2010; •  Officer William Porter, 25, who joined in 2012; •  Officer Garrett Miller, 26, who joined in 2012; and •  Officer Edward Nero, 29, who joined in 2012.

“People keep saying, ‘We need to have a conversation about race.  This is the conversation”.
“I want to see a cop shoot a white unarmed teenager in the back, and I want to see a white man convicted for raping a black woman. Then when you ask me, ‘Is it over?’, I will say yes.”
– Toni Morrison (awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President Obama in 2012)

Today in Mississippi –  A man is dead after an early morning altercation with deputies, according to Lauderdale County Sheriff Billy Sollie.
Steven G. Davenport, 43, a white male, was pronounced dead at a local hospital this morning, Sollie said.
Deputies received a call of a disturbance around 3 a.m. between two individuals at a residence. When deputies arrived on scene, they attempted to resolve the situation, the sheriff said. (more…)

UPDATE:  Since we exposed the individual(s) and group, VSU has now issued an alert.  Apparently the group was armed during the event, and the primary agitator is to be considered “armed and dangerous”:

UPDATE #2:  Media now beginning to report on Eric Sheppard Jr and here’s a local news report showing him in a confrontation with police while lying about his threats and being armed.

“Delaware State University is a historically black university that has more than 4,100 full- and part-time students”

DOVER, Del. (AP) — Three people were shot and injured Saturday night at a cookout on the Delaware State University campus, officials said, and authorities are searching for the shooter.

The shooting happened at about 8 p.m. at a university-sanctioned fraternity and sorority event, DSU spokesman Carlos Holmes said.
Three people were taken to Kent General Hospital in Dover with injuries that were not life-threatening, Holmes told The Associated Press.  DSU President Harry L. Williams said in a news release that the victims’ names have not been released and it isn’t clear whether they are Delaware State students.
No arrests had been made as of 2:30 a.m. EDT Sunday. Williams said students have been told to stay inside their dormitories. Non-students were asked to leave campus. (read more)
