Oscar Grant Update: Mehserle receives a change of venue...

This is just a brief update on what is going on regarding the murder of Oscar Grant, which occurred on January 1, 2009. In case you didn't know, this young man was shot in the back, while handcuffed and lying on his stomach, by a BART police officer in Oakland, CA. The officer, Johannes Mehserle, has been charged for the crime and has plead not guilty. According to The Associated Press, Mehserle was granted a change of venue; now the trial will not take place in Oakland. Mehserle's attorney claimed that his client could not receive a fair trial in Oakland due to all the news coverage. I think that no matter where the trial is moved, he will still be found guilty because there was no reason to shoot Grant. At least I hope he is found guilty...we all know how this kind of case usually turns out...*side-eye*...

DON'T SIT BACK AND LET THIS SHYT HAPPEN!!!

WATCH THIS VIDEO...



After clicking on a link via Twitter, I saw this video and felt angry, sick, tired, and outdone all at once. What in the world is wrong with our youth? Why the hell are they so angry? Yes, I know life is difficult and sometimes it is hard to simply get up out of bed because the obstacles seem too high to get over. But a difficult life is no excuse for MURDER! You know what, and I don't care who I offend when I say this...I don't give a motherf@#k about how hard your life is...excuse after excuse...there is no excuse for what was done to Derrion Albert. THOSE SOB'S KILLED THAT CHILD!!! AND AS MUCH AS THAT ANGERS ME, WHAT ANGERS ME MORE IS THE FACT THAT ADULTS WERE THERE!!! WHY STAND BACK AND WATCH THIS UNFOLD!!!! WHAT? JUST SO YOU COULD RECORD IT? GROWN FOLKS, WHEN WE SEE THIS STUFF HAPPEN, WE HAVE TO STOP IT! DON'T SIT BACK AND SCREAM AND WATCH...DON'T BE PASSIVE! THEN WANNA SCREAM "WE WANT JUSTICE!" WHAT IS THAT ABOUT?!?! WE CAN'T LOOK FOR OTHER FOLKS TO GET OUR KIDS UNDER CONTROL!!! IT PISSES ME OFF THAT THOSE KIDS KILLED THAT CHILD BUT IT PISSES ME OFF EVEN MORE THAT ADULTS, GROWN FOLKS, DID NOTHING BUT SCREAM! CHARGE EACH ONE OF THOSE UNREASONABLY ANGRY SOB'S WITH MURDER! THROW THE EFF'N BOOK AT THEM AND BUST THEM UPSIDE THEIR HEADS WITH BOARDS! NO SYMPATHY! NO EXCUSES! I'M TIRED OF IT...SO EFF'N TIRED...

If there is any justice in the world, this S.O.B. will be dealt with!!!!!

Crimes against children always, ALWAYS, hurt my soul...and piss me off! Babies are some of the most innocent beings on earth and I can't stand it when people harm them. Women we need to be cognizant of the type of men we allow to be around our children! This poor, little innocent baby boy had no way of defending, or protecting himself...as I type this, I cry and get more and more angry! Emanuel Wesley Murray was murdered by his mother's ex-boyfriend, Richard A. McTear Jr., a man who disliked the child from the beginning. This S.O.B. beat the mother and then picked up a car seat, which the baby was still in, and threw it across the room. The baby fell out of the seat and hit the floor. The mother run out of the apartment for help, and this monster runs off with the baby. While driving along the interstate, this MONSTER throws the baby out of the car!!!! RICHARD A. McTEAR JR. DESERVES TO DIE!!!!! I read an article about a woman being sentenced to death by firing squad, in another company, for drug trafficking. THIS MOFO DESERVES A SENTENCE NO LESS THAN THAT!!!. Now, forgive me, I'm mad at the mother too... if this punk was a danger to the baby, she should have taken the baby somewhere else; you know, found someone who would be willing to keep the baby until this nutcase was out of the picture completely. As soon as the S.O.B. showed that he didn't like the baby, he needed to be out of the equation. That said, I pray for the mother and the family of innocent little Emanuel.

When will it stop...

Just read about the death (or murder) of Bernard Monroe. A 73 year old black man, who was in his yard with family when he was killed by a police officer. Apparently, the police thought that Monroe's son had committed a crime and chased the man to his father's home. According to the article, the son was chased into the house and then back out into the yard. Monroe went over to the police officer who had just tasered his son; as he went toward the police officer, another officer shot Monroe dead. Of course, the officer says that the old man had a gun in his hand when he was walking toward the other officer. Witnesses are saying that Monroe had no gun in his hand and that the police planted a gun near the old man's body.

Of course, now there is even more racial tension in the small community of Homer, La. Apparently, the police chief in the community has allegedly made some comments that leads me to believe he may have ugly intentions. Citizens in the community say that young black men are being targeted as criminals. This seems to be a nationwide epidemic.

What a world...what a world...

People we are in the last days indeed. How can you not believe that something deep and serious is going on. Look at the news, today and every other day! Just got done reading an article about a 23 year old young man who stabbed his 17 year old sister with a knife, decapitated his 5 year old sister, and tried to kill his 9 year old sister but was shot by the police before he could. When I read this story all I could do was call out to Jesus because there were just no other words.

What's Really Going On....

I was listening to the radio this morning and heard about an 11 year-old boy being charged with murder. This kid shot his father's pregnant girlfriend with a shotgun made especially for children. A shotgun made for children? The parents felt that teaching the boy to hunt was a good idea, I guess. While I am sad for the family of the victim, my first thought was this....why in the world does a child need a shotgun? I don't believe that children need to go hunting with adults; we do not live in an age where we have to go out and hunt for our food so what's the point? Let me take it a step further...if children are not mature enough to make adult decisions, like, for instance making the decision to have sex or have children, why are they thought to be mature enough to fire a weapon? Maybe that's a little extreme, I don't know, but I really want to know why a child should be allowed to fire a weapon. Now this kid, under Pennsylvania law, will be charged as an adult for homicide! He , at 11 years-old, could be sentenced to life in prison. But shame on anyone who want to enforce gun control on the American people, right? CHILDREN SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO SHOOT GUNS!

Shining a little light on this...

Could this be another situation where a police officer went way too far? I think so, but I want to share this so other people are made aware that injustice is still out there. People are walking around thinking that the battle has been won simply because Obama won the presidency; that's not the case. We still have a long and difficult road ahead of us....please read this article about the death of Billey Joe Johnson and, if so moved, click here to sign a petition for a thorough investigation of this young man's death.

What a world we live in....

I sit here at my computer with tears in my eyes because of the story I just read on MSNBC.com. A man...no, a male creature....killed his 2 year old son because he owed $4,000 in back child support. Question...What is the world coming to? Answer...The end. That has to be it! The world has become so disgusting, so incredibly sickening. I mean, why didn't this creature simply take his own life? Why the baby? You know what, forget taking any life; why not just get a job or get more than one job? There are plenty of people who work several jobs in order to make ends meet so what was the deal with this fool? Now, he gets to go to prison... instead of simply paying to support the life he helped create. I just do not understand. My heart goes out to the mother of that poor child and to those who truly loved the little boy...

Justice....finally?

I remember my mom telling me how much the story of Adam Walsh, the son of John Walsh (host of America's Most Wanted), bothered her. In 1981, 6-year old Adam Walsh went missing from a store, and after about two weeks of searching the child's head was found. Apparently they are finally announcing a suspect, 27 years later, and the suspect is Ottis Toole. This man, if one can call him that, confessed and recanted twice, and died back in 1996! I know there is a point to announcing him as a suspect, but being named a suspect doesn't automatically mean you're guilty of the crime, right? How much justice can the Walsh family get from this? Closure, I suppose, but it seems too little too late. Regardless, my thoughts and prayers go out to the Walsh family.
