Justice for Elijah McClain

"August 24th, 2019, 23-year-old Elijah McClain was walking home after buying some tea at a local convenience store. According to Elijah's family, Elijah, who was anemic, preferred to wear a ski mask to keep his face warm while he was walking. The Aurora Police Department received a call of a "suspicious man". This call resulted in Elijah's death. After the McClain family requested the bodycam footage from the officers on scene it was reported that in the footage,

"He is laying on the ground vomiting, he is begging, he is saying, 'I can't breathe.' One of the officers says, 'Don't move again. If you move again, I'm calling in a dog to bite you,'" -Mari Newman (the McClain's lawyer) 

When the paramedics arrived they administered a dose of Ketamine to the already unconscious Elijah to "sedate" him. He was pronounced dead August 27th, 2019, at only 23 years old of a heart attack. Denver 7 News stated, "...they couldn’t determine whether McClain's death was an accident, was due to natural causes, or is a homicide related to the police department's use of a carotid hold". The officers on the scene were placed on temporary leave, however, they are back in the field with no charges. 

Sign this petition to bring justice for Elijah. Demand these officers are taken off duty, and that a more in-depth investigation is held."

**WARNING** This video is disturbing. It shows the police abusing and killing Elijah McClain, an innocent young man who didn't do anything and the police had NO reason to stop him. 

I'm really sick of the hate and lies directed towards Black Lives Matter and ANTIFA

A right-wing commenter, many of you might know, Shep has posted a tirade of lies about Black Lives Matter and the ANTIFA movement. Shep penned this article, The Myth of the Peaceful Black Lives Matter/ANTIFA Protest at Paul's blog.

The Myth of the Peaceful Black Lives Matter/ANTIFA Protest

How many police cars must be destroyed before a protest is no longer peaceful?

How many horses must be burned alive before a protest is no longer peaceful?

How many peace officers must be assaulted before a protest is no longer peaceful?

How many horses must have their faces crushed by bricks before a protest is no longer peaceful?

How many lasers must be shone into the eyes of pilots before a protest is no longer peaceful?

How many women's charities must be firebombed before a protest is no longer peaceful?

How many minority owned businesses must be destroyed before a protest is no longer peaceful?

How many exploding firework shells must be fired at helicopters before a protest is no longer peaceful?

How much gunfire can there be from the protesters before a protest is no longer peaceful?

How many businesses must have their storefronts destroyed and their content looted before a protest is no longer peaceful?

How much damage to property, public and private, can there be, before a protest is no longer peaceful?

How many innocent drivers passing a protest must be intimidated and assaulted before a protest is no longer peaceful.

I could go on.  These are things that happened in Oklahoma.  I encourage you to ask similar questions about other protests around the country in the comments section.

We are being made to feel overwhelmed.  The truth is we surround them.  Of course Walmart and several other large corporations had their corporate giving departments pre-primed to give money to these looters.  Walmart alone pledged at least $100 million.  More about that in a later editorial.

We are late to the game, but we have the advantage of numbers.  To use this advantage we must make our voices heard.

Action Plan Step One:

When your local television or radio news promulgates this "peaceful protest", or the more insidious "mostly peaceful protest" nonsense, call them.  Ask to speak with their public relations department.  Be polite.  Tell them that if violence occurs at a protest, it is a violent protest.   Advise them that you will stop watching the local news if they continue to put lipstick on pigs.

This requires a follow-up.  Car dealerships are usually the largest of a local stations advertising accounts.  Contact the dealerships that are buying adverts on the offending stations.  If you've ever bought a car from that dealer, remind them.  If you know someone who has bought a car there get that person involved too.  If you haven't bought a car there still call them and let them know you will never buy a car from them if they continue to support this nonsense on the news programs.  If they tell you they don't buy ad spots on the news, tell them it doesn't matter.  You may also let them know you are considering sending letters to the local paper expressing your displeasure at the support that dealership has shown for this false narrative.    If the dealership has strong ties to the left, don't be shy about calling them.  Their ties to their pocketbooks will always be stronger than their commitment to advancing the myth of the peaceful protest.

Remember, Cain was mostly a "not-murderer" until he killed Abel.  Forevermore after that he was a murderer.  These protests are violent.  Let's stop allowing the Marxist thugs to tell us they are not.
