Stop Killing Our Kids

There have been some pretty angry people in Ferguson, Missouri making a lot of noise. And for good reason. If you actually believe what the mainstream media and the Ferguson Police Department say, you probably should just move on to another blog. There is nothing here to persuade you, and I am not going to convince you otherwise.

However, if you, like many Americans, are willing to accept two premises, then the dialogue to follow will offer you something to consider, and something to pursue.

Premise #1- Americans with color are routinely treated as second class citizens in this country, and:

Premise #2- People in power don’t always tell the truth.

We live in a scary country folks. If you speak in favor of the constitution, and speak out against anything that runs contrary to the authority our government has given itself and its “protectors”- then you are labeled an antagonist, a traitor, a terrorist, a threat, or an agent provocateur.

Since the Saratoga Springs Police Department have never had an incident of an officer involved shooting that resulted in a death, one has to wonder how on earth the first one was a black man- a relative anomaly in the city- with a toy sword, shot in the back multiple times.

Please go to the link to read about the racially motivated murder of Darrien Hunt, a black kid wearing a costume (cosplaying) and the justification and coverup of that murder by a city (Saratoga Springs) in a state full of white racist Mormons.




Evidence that Darrien Hunt wasn't lunging; he was smiling:

Fake sword. Real bullets.

2. Yes. Wow. I think he was.

Would have never thought of that, I've remember seeing Samurai Champloo a few times on adultswim. Was he going to a cos party? That is fucked up.

3. There had been a costume convention in town...

Salt Lake ComicCon convention was September 4th, 5th and 6th. Darrien Hunt was murdered in nearby (20 minutes south of Salt Lake) Saratoga Springs, his home town, on September 10th. I don't know if he went to the convention (I'd be willing to bet that he did) but he was clearly still wearing his costume when he was shot 6 times in the back.

SALT LAKE CITY — Salt Lake Comic Con broke its own record for the third time in a row as more than 120,000 people flocked downtown for a three-day nerdy getaway.

Attendance peaked Saturday with as many as 90,000 fans bustling through the Salt Palace Convention Center, Comic Con co-founder Bryan Brandenburg said as the convention neared closing time.
