Xavier Returns

At least for one post:

Sentencing in the Danziger Bridge Massacre

At one point Xavier says:

. . .I first began blogging on the Danziger Bridge Massacre in 2005, two months after hurricane Katrina, I discussed the incident with many police officers who were both friends and acquantiences. To a man they all believed that the murderers involved would ultimately be vindicated. How is it that police officers can be so blinded by a badge that they cannot discern murder when it is under their very noses? It's disgusting. Shameful. Sad. This is the reason that no intelligent citizen can trust police officers in the United States any longer. They have removed themselves from society, mentally placed themselves in a special place with special privileges and they view citizens as either criminals or criminals in waiting.

I agree 100%.

Today's "You think?"

'Blacks are under attack,' says Jesse Jackson

You think?

But of course the Reverend Race-baiter means African-Americans are under attacks by whites, not other African-Americans. Or 'white Hispanics' as Ace reports the Media identification of the shooter in the Trayvon Martin case. Maybe it's better to refer to the teen gang-banger here in Indy, Dai-Twon Williams, as a 'white African American' just to be consistent in the blame-game.

"Hi! I'm from Michigan!"

I only live in Indiana. And despite living here for almost fifteen years, I've never seen myself as a Hoosier and likely never will. It's just one of those things. And when I regularly see stuff like this:

I'm glad I'm not from around here.

Today's Only Ones: A Whole Barrel

The knee-jerk, non-thinking, "Oh it's just a few bad apples," defense of the police just doesn't work any more. I don't care if they haven't institutionalized baksheesh like Mexican cops. And I know when the fit hits the shan, they'll continue to support the oppressors as in their minds that's how they can continue to maintain their power and authority as a fraternity of bullies and thugs. With regards to the latter I submit for your consideration:

Dylan Again

Rather than look to Yeats to describe the coming election, I'd rather share Dylan's yearning for someone who we could truly follow.
