Re: Justifiable Homicide: Black youth in peril, 'An Executive Decision' -Part 2 Continued
When I was 14, I received 7 of Elvis' records for my birthday and thought I'd hit the damn lotto. My young buddy and myself were flapping all over the floor with glee. I have his records now. CD's of course; the 33 and 1/3 or whatever they were called are long gone; as is my 14th birthday. Cary Grant was born in 1904 and Rock Hudson was born in 1925. Not my generation either, but TMC is my favorite movie channel when I want to look at a movie; which isn't very often. I like the old musicals,...

Re: DOJ investigation proves Ferguson PD enforces an Apartheid State
It's easy to create a criminal. Just make normal behavior illegal or create crimes out of minor offenses that makes everything illegal. Its a growing business that's practiced by today's law enforcement by all American police departments. This is basically the same path Jim Crow took in the South post slavery and post-reconstruction.
