"The man helps us all by taking a pedophile off the street and they give him four f&^%$#@ years!"Man you black folks are hard on each other. That's what I overheard some black dude telling another one in the crowded CJC
(Criminal Justice Center) lobby today while I waited for an elevator. Everyone within earshot, like me, probably heard them, but everyone pretended not to. Some things are not even cool to think about.
Anyway, I read that the good doctor
is suicidal; apparently his lawyers didn't do a good enough job of preparing him for the worse. The Judge sure didn't seem to like Doctor Murray very much.
"The judge was relentless in his bashing of the 58-year-old Murray, saying he lied repeatedly and had not shown remorse for his actions in the treatment of Jackson. Pastor also said Murray's heavy use of the powerful anesthetic propofol to help Jackson battle insomnia violated his sworn obligation. "It should be made very clear that experimental medicine is not going to be tolerated, and Mr. Jackson was an experiment," Pastor said. "Dr. Murray was intrigued by the prospect and he engaged in this money for medicine madness that is simply not going to be tolerated by me." Pastor also said Murray has "absolutely no sense of fault, and is and remains dangerous" to the community. The judge said.one of the most disturbing aspects of Murray's case was a slurred recording of Jackson recovered from the doctor's cell phone."I didn't like the cell phone recording, either. But four years
(two for sure in the County) seemed a bit harsh. I don't think the good Doctor is a danger to anyone but himself right about now.
Finally, as most of you know, I am a notorious racism chaser. But I am also a huge advocate of free speech, so every now and then I become conflicted when I have to choose between the big R being offensive and the big R having the right to offend.
This latest case in England is a great example.
In case you all haven't heard the story or seen the latest video which has gone viral, this white lady in London did what a lot of you white folks would love to do while taking public transportation; she allowed her inner klan to flow.
"A woman in South London was arrested after she was caught on tape unleashing a racist tirade on an unsuspecting train car full of passengers. A two-minute clip went viral across the internet of the rant late Sunday, with many horrified viewers and celebrities tweeting to help find the woman.
“BREAKING: The woman in the #MyTramExperience video has just been arrested. Excellent. See how vocal she is in a police cell,” British-born talk show host Piers Morgan tweeted.
The woman, in the clip, can be heard telling people "you ain't English, you ain't English either - go back to your own f--- country."
She also demands that black people on the train go back to their own country, which she claims is "Nicaragua".
When another passenger asks her to watch her language because of the children on board, she replies, "Yes fine, I have a little kid here."
A small child in her lap remains silent, playing with what appears to be a toy dinosaur, throughout the disturbing rant.
At one point, the video shows, she tells a woman, "You ain't British - you're black." [Story]
That's just precious. Isn't it nice when racists can pass on their ignorance to their children?
Still, I have news for you; this lady should not have been arrested. It's not like she started a riot or anything. (Although I suppose that you could make an argument that she might have started one.) If she wants to make a fool of herself in public (with her child present no less) by all means let her go. No one was hurt, so it's all good as far as I am concerned. Having to live with herself is punishment enough for this poor woman.
BTW, speaking of displaying ignorance; I see where the
Smithsonian's new section
for us Negroes will be displaying some recently donated klan robes. Again, I am fine with that. The klan is as A-merry-can as apple pie, and every A-merry-can should be able to see and read about their long "rich" history.
