[Lovejac]

we can apply pressure..and force them to announce their decision.

How in the world do all of these insignificant men think they have so much power? It boggles the mind.

As the saying goes, fake it, 'til you make it.

"Whether they wear blue jeans or blue uniforms, criminals must be held accountable," Sharpton said at a morning news conference.

Sadly ironic given the crimes Michael committed that day.

So, all police should now be investigated because they question the actions of one. I'm betting they'd vehemently disagree with the premise that all young black men should be investigated due to Michael's actions.

Seems some folks don't understand certain basic concepts such as what's good for the goose is good for the gander, tit for tat, and equal justice for all.

And...do those blue jean wearers include law-breaking "protestors," Mr. Sharpton?

 

[Lovejac]

Thanks for the positive thoughts. I "get" to do it against next week.

It's because your brain is full of so much smarts :loveyou:

:grouphug: We got ya!

“We feel that the apology comes at a time when the trust and the confidence in the chief has already reached an all-time and irreversible low,” attorney Anthony Gray said in a statement on behalf of the Brown family. “And it is nearly impossible to measure any reach of his apology at this time. Most observers, we believe, are already locked into their opinions about the handling of the shooting of this unarmed teen. Dynamite, much less an apology, will do little to move anyone off their opinions at this point.”

Can you say tongue in cheek? I still like the idea of a street artist painting a "mural" on the ground in that location.

:blushing: Will I EVER figure you out? :shame:

Probably not. It's all good, you keep me on my toes eace:

They already have one.

Spray painted on the side of the building was the message....

"If you aquit, the city burns. "

There might not have been a comma though.

 

[Lovejac]

A "mural" of what exactly? It isn't as if Brown was some guy that was killed while doing good deeds or something that should be honored and respected. So what kind of "mural" should be done?

MOO

Well, they could, um.................................. I got it, how about a, uh ................................................ you know, maybe a, err ..................

:nevermind:I got nothin'

Jackson said he is aware of calls for his ouster, but he's not going anywhere.
"I've talked to a lot of people who have initially called for that and then changed their mind after having meetings and discussions about moving forward," he told CNN. "Realistically, I'm going to stay here and see this through. This is mine, and I'm taking ownership of it."

Asked Thursday afternoon why the apology took so long, Jackson told CNN, "There's been so much going on, and every day there's a different challenge."

It never would have made a difference. The chief said publically he tried to call the family and they would not take his calls. It is getting close to the GJ decision so if he can win over some of the community that wanted to hear him apologize, it was worth it.

I have no problem with that eventually happening obviously. I just think of all the things to get worked up over, that memorial in that place is being anywhere near the top of the list is crazy. Frankly, I've got a dead racoon in our street that I wish they'd come get first.

lol I can dig it! Been there...

(Back in my Mississippi days, I actually saw a family standing over a dead possum in the middle of the road, trying to decide if it was still "fresh" enough to take home and cook up! Just how "fresh" is this racoon?! lol)

 

[TheDuchess]

How about just moving the memorial to the side of the street and keeping the contents fresh and nice looking? Why must it be in the street? I mean, I see wreath memorials along highways all the time...off to the side...that mark where someone was killed. Those folks don't insist that since dear daughter/son/mother/uncle/dad/dog died in the middle of the highway that the memorial be kept in the middle of the highway.

STOP making sense!!!

I don't even have to get to the words he spews, but how can anyone take one look at him in his get up and take him serious?

Ain't it the truth?! Every dang time I see a photo of him in that police hat, "YMCA" starts playing in my head and stays there for hours!


And again...to all of you sending me best wishes and good thoughts....thanks so much! It means a lot! (I should have asked them to "unplug the YMCA" while they were messing around in my brain, eh?!)

Someone needs to tell Sha-diddy a few things:
1. First of all, it's Amerika....he can't even insult properly. http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=amerika
2. Secondly, if he doesn't like it, he should leave.

Now there's a fund I would donate to! One way ticket for the King of douchbaggery!
