Darryl, I have not asked for your empathy: I simply acknowledged the fact that many are without it; You included yourself!
Just remember that we all die alone; however, the thoughts, behaviors and feelings become the identity of ONE. Rev. Dr. Marin Luther King was an individual but, his life and death empacted the world.
You can not continue to listen to Bill O'Riley, Rush Limbaught, Ann Colter and others of the Racist Famous Fox Gang and expect to broaden your knowledge/understanding about what is being said or done relative to crime. Poverty is the germ of this so called "black-on-black crime" issue. poverty has a greater effect on the life of an individual than crack!
" Mayor Lumumba is "healthy" and that "there is nothing that would indicate that he is nothing short of healthy and fit to seve the people of Jackson".
I sincerely hope that the Mayor is ok; however, there seems to be a real dichotomy here:
It seems that the capability issue is a moot one due to the "peculiar" expectations from the citizens of Jackson as presented by the Mayor's press secretary.
How can he be responsible for 180,000 people, but his health will not support his representation of ONE (1)?
"Had he done that both of them would have gone home but he didn't. Instead he chose the sword, he chose violence because he came from a culture where being "disrespected" is the absolute worst thing in the world, an he made a mistake."
This is the most insensitive and racist statement I have read on this case. Let's look at a few facts:
1. Martin was killed by Zimmerman, so how could a dead child profit?
2. Most black people face some form of discrimination on a daily basis and to know that someone's kid had been shot and killed for nothing is both hurtful and angering. Should this have remained Florida's secrete? The Mighty Mississippi River remains a burial for many blacks who were killed by whites and there weren't any news stories ever reported. Families just bore their pain.
3. Martin, like Emmitt Till, had no choice: One whistled- the other wore a hoodie.
4. Zimmerman's crime was taking the life of an unarmed teen after being told to stay in his car and not follow. Zimmerman was the one person who had a choice and the one he made was to take the life of a black kid- one fitting HIS discription of a "fuc###g a$$ hole" who didn't belong in HIS community.
5. Positions like Scott's only widen the racial divide.
Lumumba and Chief Horton have their work cut out dealing with the City's second death of the year for a police officer. My heart goes out to the family, friends and officers who must grieve their loss. I am also concerned for the person who struck the officer while he was trying to remove a barbeque grill from I-55 Highway. You are definitely taking a deadly chance on I-55 unless traffic has been completely stopped.
Thanks for the correct spelling of "nuclear" . I never heard GW pronounce it; however, there are enough other words that were mispronounced that he could have written his own dictionary. LOL!!!!!!!

@darryl
Get over it!
For some folks, there will never be any empathic feeling for black people as it relates to our lives or our losses.
