Sorry I missed your meaning. ...Thanx Sis Carolyn! Sorry I missed your meaning. I agree with you -- it <i>is resistance</i>, and <i>wa-a-a-y</i> more than I've seen for a very long time, at lest since I was in Jena. I am so, damned proud of these young, Black folk who've awakened to the reality that is life in these alleged United States.<br /><br />Yeah, well, I think Nancy'll be okay. She's not strayed far enough to the left that they'll disown her. I've not read Lisa Bloom's book, but I may. I'm really not familiar with her but I <i>will</i> check her out and let you know what I think full disclosure: these days, I'm not easily impressed! :-D<br /><br />Peace my Sister -- we're <b><i>still</i></b> living in dangerous times...DebChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02018798227792356966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8178687658619226992.post-73272651531217232932014-12-03T16:29:34.033-06:002014-12-03T16:29:34.033-06:00Sis Deb...Glad you returned to SC safely and belat...Sis Deb...Glad you returned to SC safely and belated Happy Anniversary!<br /><br />Deb says:<br />"I just gotta disagree with you here, Sis. Were it not for the "riots," as you call them (pretty tame given the real riots that happened back in my/our day) -- neither the country, nor the WORLD would be demonstrating as they have been (and they HAVE been!)"<br /><br />If you noticed I put "riots" in quotes for that's the description most used. I see it as resistance but your point is well taken. It seems to me that the refusal of the young folks and community leaders staging the protests consistently (regardless of intimidation by the cops) that may have caught the eye and conscience of the global community as well.<br /><br />As far as Nancy Grace goes, the point I was making is that her circle may give her some push back on her assessment of what happened for now it's become you are anti-police if you disagree with the grand jury's finding.<br />I don't watch her show for she can be hyperbolic..but this article was on my national news feed. <br /><br />BTW: I'm somewhat paying more attention to the attorney, Lisa Bloom (analysis) who wrote the book on the Trayvon Martin case; 'Suspicion Nation'. She's a legal scholar however, she doesn't spare anyone/circumstances in re: to the killing of black men and youth by cops/vigilantes and how the justice system can be skewed to favor/protect them. She's had a lot to say about Ferguson. I wish you would check her out and let me know what you think. You MIGHT be impressed! ^◡^ Carolyn Moonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15668984508382392168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8178687658619226992.post-44598874073235477222014-12-02T20:32:58.892-06:002014-12-02T20:32:58.892-06:00Hey Sis Carolyn!!

As I drove to FL listening to the radio -- I kept saying to myself, <b>"What the hay-ell? Why all this drama??</b> That's why I called the youngest and asked him to keep me abreast.<br /><br /><b>"The 'riots' have over-shadowed the injustice of the exoneration of this killer ex-cop."</b><br /><br />I just gotta disagree with you here, Sis. Were it not for the "riots," as you call them (pretty tame given the <i>real riots</i> that happened back in my/our day) -- neither the <i><b>country, nor the WORLD</b></i> would be demonstrating as they have been (and they <i>HAVE</i> been!)<br /><br /><b>'It was interesting that Nancy Grace who has been a consistent defender of police intervention; stated that she wasn't buying the DA's account of the events that led to this young man losing his life.

I <i>used</i> to a while ago, but the "harpy" in her eventually turned me off, despite her legal knowledge (which, let's not forget, is knowledge taught to her by a system that doesn't give two shits about us!).<br /><br />Feel free to feature/repost anything I write Sis. Carolyn. If it matters to you, I'm sure it matters to some of the rest of us!<br /><br />Peace back atcha, Sis!...DebChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02018798227792356966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8178687658619226992.post-63369459987601076242014-12-01T19:59:12.105-06:002014-12-01T19:59:12.105-06:00Sis Deb, I still maintain that there were agent pr...Sis Deb, I still maintain that there were agent provocateurs at work when the DA gave that long rambling defense of Darren Wilson.<br />The time he scheduled it from the first lone police car that was on<br />fire as others watched. The failure to protect a certain stretch of W. Florissant Ave.<br />where the businesses burned. My husband and I were both suspicious of another lone police car parked without any police inside or around it when it was torched by some in the crowd after an attempt to flip it. We saw a group running away through a parking lot or alley (aerial view) before police cars showed up and the fire inside the patrol car was extinguished. It all seemed so staged and tainted.<br /><br />The same type of strategic move used when they released the video of Michael stealing the box of cigarillos after the shooting. His killing was upstaged by that act.<br /><br />The 'riots' have over-shadowed the injustice of the exoneration of this killer ex-cop.<br /><br />It was interesting that Nancy Grace who has been a consistent defender of police intervention;stated that she wasn't buying the DA's account of the events that led to this young man losing his life. "Something doesn't add up'.<br /><br />BTW: I'm going to feature this post on my blog of the week.<br />Peace.....Carolyn Moonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15668984508382392168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8178687658619226992.post-37150171873818134682014-12-01T19:41:02.312-06:002014-12-01T19:41:02.312-06:00This comment has been removed by the author.Carolyn Moonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15668984508382392168noreply@blogger.com
