Atticus
Atticus's JournalI am a white man and I direct this to my fellow caucasians. ANOTHER young black man
has been killed because he was black. Oh, sure---some will try to cover up that truth with the usual bullshit, but that's why Ahmaud Arbery was hunted, shot and killed in broad daylight: he was a black man jogging in a neighborhood where some racist white guys---guys who looked like us--- thought he had no right to be.
He had committed no crime.
There had NOT been a "string of burglaries" in the neighborhood where he was killed.
He had not been involved in any kind of altercation or argument with his killers prior to being confronted by two armed men in a pickup blocking his path on a public street.
He was killed because he was a black man. Any suggestion that he died for any other reason is a damned lie.
I am 71. This type of racially motivated murder had been occurring for about 180 years or so before I was born. And, here is my point: it will continue until decent white people---those with the most power and wealth in our society---DEMAND that it stop; DEMAND that that justice be color blind; demand that racist white murderers pay a heavy price for their hateful crimes.
Ahmaud would have celebrated his 27th birthday last Friday. Today, his mother passes her first Mothers Day without him.
"There is but one race; the human race. Everything else is just culture". If you cannot understand the anger of people of color in response to this latest "murder of the month"; if you cannot mourn the senseless loss of a young man just beginning his life; if you cannot shed a tear for his parents and family, you are condoning his murder. You are saying his killing wasn't "really" murder BECAUSE HE WAS BLACK.
Speak up. Condemn this barbarity---yes, that's just exactly what it is---or accept your share of the responsibility for it.
Barr says "History is written by the winners". That should scare the livin' crap
outta him, don'cha think?
An announcement from Captain Obvious: "Given all that we all now KNOW---not suspect---
about Donald Trump, no one who supports him can any longer claim to be a moral person---PERIOD!"
That is all.
Trump has sure gained a lot of weight since that raid on "Whoville"! And, what happened
to that heart he supposedly grew?
Just sayin'---
Does anyone else see these fighter jet "flyovers" as wasteful, meaningless, militaristic
nonsense? Just a coincidence that the recent Blue Angel's flyover "to salute the nurses" is featured in Trump's latest campaign ad?
I can't say it.
I know what my reaction would be if anyone else told multiple lies that put me and mine in mortal danger.
I know what would happen if anyone else ridiculed POWS and the physically impaired in my presence.
I know just exactly how I would treat any man who laughingly proclaimed his "right" to grab my wife or daughter or granddaughter by her crotch.
I know how bullies and cowardly "tough guys" get treated in the face to face real world.
I know---and you know---what needs to happen with Trump.
But, we can't say it out loud.
Shout out to "Brother Pence": I BELIEVE---
---if Jesus was here he'd whoop your skanky ass!
Does anyone know if Flynn made or submitted an allocution statement when he pled
guilty? If so, where could one read a transcript of it?
If the criminal case against Flynn was SO-O-O bogus, why did the corrupt sonofabitch
plead guilty to the charges?
That twisted Opus Dei asshole Barr should serve major time for this bullshit!
Given Trump's simple-minded "Blame China" campaign strategy, when do we think
he will instigate a military confrontation in the China Sea or elsewhere?
I'm thinking September.
