When It Comes To Open Carry Laws, The Law Is White And Right!



If you live in an open carry state and you happen to be Black, a Hispanic or a Muslim guess what?

You're still going to be detained by the law. Matter of fact, the law will be ready to open fire on you.

This is the type of stuff that ended the lives of Tamir Rice and John Crawford in the hands of law enforcement.

Crawford was gunned down by Beavercreek cops in August after he grabbed an open air rifle off the shelf in a Dayton, Ohio Walmart. He didn't even get a proper warning. The moment the Beavercreek Ohio cop saw him he opened fire.

Tamir Rice was gunned down in November after he was playing in a park with an air rifle. The Cleveland cop pulled up on him. In less than two seconds, he guns down the 12 year old boy.

The YouTube user Willy Upchuck uploaded this video.

It shows a bunch of White guys carrying their AR-15 and Rugers. A county sheriff's deputy confronts them. He asked them what they were doing and they've complied. The deputy lets them head on their way.

In the next video a Black guy is carrying his AR-15. Within 45 seconds the county sheriff's deputy comes up on him. He exits the vehicle with service weapon drawn. He tells the Black guy to eat dirt and don't move.

The Black guy was with his pregnant girlfriend and she was recording it. The girlfriend reminds the officer that he didn't do nothing wrong. The officer warns him that he's being recorded and the girlfriend reminds the officer she's recording him. During the three minutes the officer is still drawn with his weapon calls for back up.

During that ordeal, the Black guy is detained his weapon was confiscated and they brought out a canine to do a drug search.

The Black guy had the AR-15 on his hip and a cup of coffee. Nothing more. But it drew more than four police vehicles two officers with guns drawn and one officer with a dog.

Makes you wonder why these lawmakers pass these laws?

Were they intended for the White guy afraid of a Browner nation?

Cop In The Tony Robinson Shooting Walks!

The cop's excuse for killing an unarmed man is the fact he was high on the "shrooms". The cop who killed Tony Robinson walks and the family gets no closure.

Cue Fred 101.....

He and many of our friends on the racist right will automatically assume that because Tony was on drugs, had a few run-ins with law enforcement and the cop used "proper" judgement, he deserved to die.

The Dane County state prosecutor stated that the officer who shot and killed Tony Robinson acted in self-defense and is not going to be charged.

Madison cop Matt Kenny shot and killed unarmed Tony Robinson in March.

As usual the cops release a statement to why they used deadly force on the suspect. Robinson who did have a share of minor run ins got taken to the cleaners by the racist right.

After all a few minor misdemeanors is like him robbing a bank and taking hostages.
Tony Robinson's death touched the nation.
The Huffington Post reports Kenny shot the 19-year-old inside an apartment near the Wisconsin state Capitol on March 6. Police said the officer was responding to calls that the biracial teen was running in and out of traffic, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports. According to Dane County district attorney Ismael Ozanne, Kenny said Robinson struck him on the side of his head and knocked him into the wall. Police also said they later received reports alleging that Robinson had assaulted two other people.

No charges for Matt Kenny, officer who shot Tony.
Ozanne said that marijuana, Xanax and psychedelic mushrooms were found in Robinson's system.

Shortly after the district attorney’s announcement, the Wisconsin Department of Justice released its report, which similarly suggested that Robinson’s allegedly erratic behavior could be explained by the use of ‘shrooms.


Shortly after the district attorney’s announcement, the Wisconsin Department of Justice released its report, which similarly suggested that Robinson’s allegedly erratic behavior could be explained by the use of ‘shrooms.

Robinson's death sparked protests in Madison, and hundreds of people attended his funeral in mid-March.

On Tuesday, Chris Ahmuty, executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union of Wisconsin, criticized the decision not to file charges as leaving a "cloud of uncertainty" over the circumstances of and responsibility for Robinson's death.

"If Officer Kenny did not violate the law, then is anyone legally responsible for Mr. Robinson's death?" Ahmuty said in a statement. "Does the criminal law protect individuals like Mr. Robinson from deadly force exercised by police officers? Are police officers above the law?"

Ahmuty also called for greater transparency from the police. "Furthermore, what will the Madison Police Department do to ensure that Madison police officers stop killing unarmed individuals, when they have killed three people in the past 11 months? The MPD needs to find ways to hold officers accountable, so that they will know there will be consequences for their actions," he said.

Okay, where's that jackass Milwaukee sheriff David Clark?

I bet you money the sheriff has something to say about Tony Robinson. I bet Clark will call him a "no good punk" and the Black community needs to shut the "well you know" up.

Another sad day in America.

Where's the body cameras?

Cop Who Killed Rekia Boyd Walks!

No justice for Rekia. Her murderer walks after he claims he thought he saw gang members drawing guns.

During the week of protest and the overblown media focus on the rioting in Baltimore, another sad chapter in America. In 2012, a young woman was gunned down by an off duty detective. The detective fired from his vehicle after he made the perception of Black criminal activity in progress.

Last week the cop who killed that innocent woman got his freedom.

Chicago district court let a killer cop walk.

Dante Servin, the cop who claim he was in fear of his life when he fired his Tommy gun on a group of young people.

The bullets flew right into the head of Rekia Boyd, a woman who was a bystander who with  a group of her friends. Servin who was off duty claimed that a man was pulling out a piece. Servin didn't notice the man was holding a cell phone.

The court found him "not guilty" in the involuntary manslaughter of Boyd. Many claim that the charges filed against Servin were foul. He should have been charged with murder.

Judge Dennis J. Porter in a rare directed verdict.

Porter's reasoning was that since the shooting was intentional, Servin could not be charged with recklessness. "It is intentional and the crime, if any there be, is first-degree murder," said Porter in his ruling. It has been suggested that state prosecutor Anita Alvarez may have deliberately undercharged Servin, knowing that the charges would be dropped, in order to curry favor with the police department.

Servin claimed he fired because someone in the group was holding a gun, but it was actually only a cellphone.

Witnesses said that Servin appeared drunk at the time of the incident.

This was overlooked by the junk food media. The media was scaring White folks with the pictures of Black folks looting liquor stores and CVS.

Servin would have faced 30 years in the iron college. He had a great police union lawyer a lot of excuses (i.e. Obama, Rahm Emmanuel, Chicago gangs, Black on Black crime, etc.) and the prosecutors in his corner.
The former Chicago detective Dante Servin shows no remorse for his actions.
Had it been a Black cop, he would be found guilty. Had it been an unarmed White woman, the cop would have been found guilty.

It's going to be unlikely that the Department of Justice finding that Servin violated the civil rights of Rekia.

When an unarmed suspect of color is killed by law enforcement, the Black community is outraged.

The racist right sees $$$$, click bait, victim blaming and concern trolling as their excuse to the Black community being outrage.

When I've heard the AM agitators say that Blacks aren't concerned about Black on Black crime, unwed parents and not point the fingers at the president, I shake my head.

Rev. Perm, Cut His Nuts Off Jackson, President Barack Obama and many civil rights leaders have often talked about the problems in the Black community. This is ignored or taken out of context by the AM agitators.

World News Today send our condolences to the family of Rekia Boyd and all those who were killed in senseless tragedies in Chicago.

Ohio Man Charged At The Law! Still Alive Despite Being A Danger To Cops!

Police: Drunk teen tried to head-butt, bite officers photo
This man charged at a police officer and yet didn't get shot or physically restrained.

This guy charged at a police officer like a football player and yet he didn't get shot and killed.

Dayton, Ohio man is in the county lock up for felonious assault on a police officer. Minus the underage drinking charge, the suspect Steven Line, got some time out in the county lockup after he attempted to headbutt and bite at Dayton police officers.

The 19-year old man was apparently in his underwear and in the back of a home. He was completely knocked out. When officers tried to revive him, he gets violent.

See if the guy was probably Black or Hispanic, the law would probably have used the Taser or the service weapon to put him down.

This guy is going to face a judge on Monday.

At least he'll have drug and alcohol treatment and probably probation for the charging at an officer.

Ferg Is Under The Radar!



Outgoing Attorney General Eric Holder is never shy from talking about the disparaging disconnect between Blacks and law enforcement. He, his son, President Barack Obama and other Black men were subjected to racial profiling. It's a notorious practice where those in law enforcement makes a call on suspicious activity. They assume that the individual is likely committing a crime. So the law will make a bullshit excuse to pull over the individual and force a search and seizure of property without a warrant. The law will actually lie to make a justifiable arrest.

As you know, I am very familiar with the situation with Blacks and the law.

Black males are often seen as violent by those in law enforcement and those in the junk food media.

The U.S. Justice Department is going to shake up the way Ferguson, Missouri's police handles situations in which they require deadly force.

After the August 2014 shooting of unarmed teen Michael Brown, Ferguson leaders and the police are trying to patch up things. The junk food media left and went on to the next shiny coin. They left a mess of division and mistrust among the law and those they are supposed to protect.

Ferguson is the focal point of America's racial unrest. When former officer Darren Wilson got off, the city went into a full fledged riot. Businesses were damaged, people were injured and the law exhausted as much as they could.

CNN reports that Brown's shooting death at the hands of Officer Darren Wilson has thrust Ferguson into the center of a nationwide debate over police tactics and race relations. The Justice Department is expected to announce it won't charge Wilson for the shooting, but it's also expected to outline findings that allege a pattern of discriminatory tactics used by the Ferguson police.

If they don't agree to review and revise those tactics, sources say, the Justice Department would sue to force changes in the department.

Asked to comment, Ferguson police Chief Thomas Jackson told CNN's Sara Sidner, "I have received nothing new.
Things aren't getting better in America.
"Everything they suggested in the past has been reasonable and we have tried to comply."

​Among the issues expected to be part of the Justice Department's lawsuit are allegations made in a recent lawsuit filed by a group of low-income people who claimed officers in Ferguson and nearby Jennings targeted minorities with minor traffic infractions and then jailed them when they couldn't pay fines.

The Justice Department action would ask for court supervision of changes at the Ferguson Police Department to improve how police deal with the minority communities they are supposed to protect. ​

Holder hinted at plans to announce the outcome of the dual investigations during an appearance at the National Press Club on Tuesday.

"I think everybody will see when we announce our results that the process that we have engaged in is, as I said back at the time when I went to Ferguson, independent, thorough and based on all the facts," he said. "And I am confident that people will be satisfied with the results that will be announced."

The Law Can Lie To Justify An Arrest!

About 85% of motorist pull overs involve a minor infraction. About a majority of police vehicle searches happen when an officer observes a possible "criminal act". The officer can make up stuff to do a probable cause search.

About seven weeks into the new year, and I want this be over.

I lost my well paying job at a racino. I lost my opportunity to work at a distribution center that opened up in the region. I was dating a woman for eight months. The woman was pregnant with another man's child and kept it a secret because she didn't want to be a single parent. She lost her child due to still birth. She lied to me and brush me off during the last four weeks before she gave birth.

To make matters worse, I was pulled over by a county sheriff's deputy and issue a ticket for a traffic violation for turn signal.

We'll get to the sheriff story in a moment.

I want you to know that everyone has a bad day. And I am one to testify to it. Everyday, I wake up thinking it's never getting better. I long for the perfect job, the perfect car, the perfect relationship.

None of this happened. I've been challenged with shortcomings and misfortunes. Nonetheless, I will grind me teeth and keep the motor running. Cause every dog has his day, to quote Al Pacino's character Tony Montana.

So as I continue to bring my A-game to Journal de la Reyna, I want you to understand that no one is perfect. I damn well know that I have flaws. I am a human being first, every other adjective and noun last.

I want to share these experiences with you. I am always happy to give my take on issues facing my community, the government and the junk food media. It's a pleasure to do this.

As you know, I am very familiar with the situation with Blacks and the law.

Black males are often seen as violent by those in law enforcement and those in the junk food media.

That's a proven fact. The law often would bias a citizen of color because of an officer's judgement call. Take the situation with Michael Brown. The officer Darren Wilson could lie and mislead his way out of a criminal trial. The officer in the John Crawford shooting. The officer Sean Williams could lie and mislead his way out of a criminal trial. The officer in the Eric Garner stranglehold. Officer Daniel Pantaleo can lie and mislead his way out of a criminal trial. 

These men walked after killing unarmed individuals. 

Not all officers get away with murder. The officer involved in the shooting of Akai Gurley, Peter Liang is being held on involuntary manslaughter. He's a cop. But the difference between the ones who got off and Liang, is skin color. The three officers were white. Liang is Asian.

Everyone knows that getting a traffic citation sucks. Some believe that the cops are picking on you because you did everything right, but according to the officer, you done an infraction.

Did you know that cops can lie to make an arrest?

Yes. They can and will do so.

I was cited by a Montgomery County sheriff deputy for a turn signal violation. The deputy followed me for six blocks before he pulled me over.

I called my friend letting her know that I was getting groceries from the store and I am on my way over. The area is known for illegal drug activities and the woman has a minor criminal history.

I never used drugs and I can't speak for her history of being a drug user. I associate with her by helping her find jobs and food assistance.

I was leaving her home and was proceeding home.

A Montgomery County sheriff's deputy was sitting in a driveway at an apartment. As I passed the apartment the deputy followed me. I wore my seatbelt and was not under the influence of drugs and alcohol.

As I was coming close to my apartment I used my turn signal. As I turned the deputy activated his lights and pulled me over.

As he approached my vehicle, I had my wallet and cell phone in plain sight and my hands on the wheel.

He asked me where I was going and told me the reason for the stop. He claimed that I failed to signal at 100 feet. The deputy followed for six blocks before the pull over.
Ohio Sheriff Deputies usually hang in plain sight for traffic monitoring and illegal activity.
I offered my license and waited patiently. The deputy asked if I had "weed" or drugs in possession. I calmly said I am not a drug user. I also told the deputy I'm a concealed carry and the firearm was not in the vehicle.

Ten minutes passed and the deputy approach my vehicle. He asked if I was willing to have my vehicle searched. I told the deputy that I refuse a search because the deputy has no warrant or probable cause.

The deputy responded back that it will be a few moments. Another deputy and a Dayton officer with a K-9 came.

The deputy asked me to step out the vehicle. They done a frisk search and told me that the K-9 will do a search. Again I refused the search.

The deputy issued the citation first. The other deputy told that I was going to placed in the back of the cruiser while they do a search. The deputies informed me the K-9 detected a hit.

Again I informed the officer that I have no drugs inside my vehicle. I told the deputies that I did not consent to a search of my vehicle. 

The deputies and officer search the vehicle for ten minutes. After the search they let me proceed to my vehicle. I asked for his name and badge before I signed the citation. I briefly "small talked" with the deputy. The deputy said he knew me from a previous job he once worked.

I was let go and proceeded home. About 30 minutes was wasted during this ordeal. The deputy lied about me making a turn signal violation. He saw me leave an area that is known for drug activity.

Does that make me a criminal? No. 

Did he have probable cause to search my vehicle? No.

Does he have the right to mislead on his statements to issue a citation or an arrest? Yes.

Understand, I can be in any area within the United States. If it was a private community or an area where trespassing is not allow, then the officer would have a leg to stand on. He would cite a charge of trespassing or solicitation.

I know my rights as a motorist. 

I did not consent to a vehicle search.

Now I have to appear at the Vandalia Municipal Court to contest the charges.

Now here's the question and answer part for you!

  • Could the situation turn out different if I waive a right to a search of my vehicle?
  • Do you believe that the police have a right to search your vehicle if you refuse a search?
  • If I associate with people (or am a person) with a criminal history, does that perceive a bias in how officers stop motorists?

FBI director James Comey, a white guy said that racial bias exist between police and people of color.

Black and Latino men between the ages of 16 - 39 are often arrested for petty offensives. They are often shot first questioned last. 

Know your rights. Because I am determined to fight back against false detainment and illegal searches. 

I respect all those in law enforcement. Not all cops are bad. Not all cops are good, either.

Florida Cops Had Black On The Target Sheets!

Target practice.

Those in law enforcement know that the junk food media will make them look like the bad guy. So why do those in law enforcement continue to entice the junk food media?

The North Miami Beach police are doing damage control after a woman discovered her family member on a mugshot used for target practice.

In the wake of the killings of unarmed individuals such as Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown, Tamir Rice, Eric Garner, Jordan Davis, Darrien Hunt, John Crawford, and Renisha McBride, police continue to use their judgement in operating their service weapon.

National Guard sergeant Valarie Deant saw her brother Woody on the target piece. Woody, a former member of the iron college served a four year bid for a fatal car accident. He's reformed and changed his ways.

After her sister saw the image, she took a picture of it and sent it through the social networking websites.

Now North Miami Beach police are back peddling their use of images. North Miami Beach Police Chief J. Scott Dennis admitted that his officers could have used better judgment, but denies any racial profiling.

The City of Medley owns the Medley Firearms Training Center and it leases the facilities to law enforcement agencies in the area. The shooting range staff doesn't select the targets used by law enforcement and the military.

The Deant family questions why officers were firing targets with images of real people, in this case African-Americans, especially at a time when relations between minority communities and law enforcement are so tense.

Ohio Mayor Blames Blacks For Cop Morale!

Norwood, Ohio mayor popped off about race-baiting Black leaders.

Norwood, Ohio is located about six miles from Downtown Cincinnati. It's an enclave that's surrounded by Cincinnati and is located around Ohio State Route 562 (known as the Lateral) and Interstate 71.

The mayor of the city has generated national attention after he wrote a letter singling out race-baiting Black leaders and cowardly lawmakers for cop morale being down.

And the defiant mayor spoke to the junk food media saying that he's not a racist and he's just showing "love" to his police force.





Thomas Williams the mayor of the Norwood is facing a controversy. He sent a letter to his police chief and urged vigilance but happen to slip the Black in it.

In 2001, Timothy Thomas was an unarmed man who was gunned down by former Cincinnati officer Stephen Roach. That sparked a week of riots in the city and an ongoing boycott of the city.

This mayor Williams needs to understand that the issue is real.

Norwood residents are calling for the mayor to formally apologize or get the fuck out of the office.

THOMAS F. WILLIAMS, MAYOR
5701 VARELMAN COURT
NORWOOD, OH  45212
HOME: 731-3053
CITY: 458-4501
mayor@norwood-ohio.com

His freedom of speech was intrusive and inclusive of most Republicans. Just in case you want to actually know what political affiliation this clown is, Williams is a Democrat.

The Cincinnati Enquirer reports that despite the firestorm of controversy his letter created on social media, the mayor would "never turn a blind eye" to an officer who betrays the public's trust, Police Chief William Kramer said in response.
Norwood, Ohio at Linden Pointe. The area Montgomery Road (U.S. 22, Ohio State Routes 3 and 561) near Ohio State Route 562 known as the Norwood Lateral.
The Facebook post generated almost 200 comments since Wednesday.

While many of those 200 comments backed the mayor and applauded his support of the police department, others said the comments added fuel to the fire of racial tension while being antagonistic and insensitive.

Kramer posted a response to some of the criticism Thursday.

"In no way is he saying that he would blindly support us," Kramer said in the post.

"There were also many comments about Norwood's history. That seems to be (a) ghost that no matter how hard we try, we cannot get past. Regardless, we will continue to provide the exemplary service we always have and we also will continue to build and strengthen our relationship with the citizens and visitors to Norwood."

Man Arrested After Tackling A Man With Legal Right To Have A Gun!



It was going to be a John Crawford moment. A Black man who had legal right to own a concealed firearm going into Walmart and a "concerned" citizen takes action into his own hands. He calls 911 and proceeds to act like a hero. He tackles the man and restrains him. The Hillsborough County sheriff and Brandon police put the cuffs on the hero.

Some things never change.

Michael Foster, 43 is facing charges on battery (felonious restraint). The victim Clarence Daniels, 62 told Foster that he had a permit. He told Tampa Bay Action News that Foster was lucky that he didn't react to the tackle. He told the report that Foster could have at least stopped him and questioned his intentions before the assault.

Honestly, who knows what a person's thinking?

Florida is one of the many states that allows its residents to hold conceal carry permits. Walmart doesn't restrain shoppers from carrying into their stores. Although some will take an issue with it, the Walmart corporation will not discriminate against shoppers.

Brandon is located 5 miles from Tampa and is one of the many boomburbs surrounding the Tampa/St. Petersburg/Clearwater region.

This comes from The Raw Story.

Can We Make A Difference?

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. is an iconic Black civil rights leader.

Today, we celebrate Martin Luther King, Jr. Day.

The country celebrates the life of the American civil rights leader who was slain in 1968. If he was alive today he would have been 86 years old.

Many Americans believe that the country has made a progressive change. Unfortunately the state of race relations have hit a new low.

Obviously, the Republican Party continues to be still inclusive. I mean they have a few non-White members who were elected to the House of Representatives and the Senate. But they're so ignorant, it's better being an all white party.

The Democratic Party nominated Barack Obama for president. The first Black president. The Democrats are such pussies, they can even embrace the fact they are historically first in overcoming their racist past.

We seen Obama's legacy being tested by the Republican Party and its staunch opposition towards him.

Last year, those in law enforcement and those in the Black community have seen a strain. The police involved killings of Michael Brown, Eric Garner, Tamir Rice, John Crawford and numerous others tested the nerve of Black America. Not to mention the killing of two NYPD officers has also brought to attention the need to for better communications between law enforcement and the community.

Can we make a difference on King Day?

Stan Solomon And Larry Pratt: These "Die In" Protesters Are Roadkill!

Nutjob with a gun. The founder of Gun Owners of America was on an extremist radio show talking about protesters being responsible for the deaths of NYPD cops.

Gun Owners of America is a gun rights organization founded by far right extremist Larry Pratt.

Pratt is one of these White extremists who parade on wackadoodle radio these conspiracies about President Barack Obama, the gun control advocates and even the National Rifle Association.

Pratt has spoken at meetings organized by white supremacist and militia leaders. Pratt denied any ties to racism, calling accusations smears aimed at hurting him.

Pratt is not well liked by the NRA and those who support gun control.

RightWingWatch notes that Pratt was on extremist radio with Stan Solomon. The extremists were bitching about the protesters doing die ins for Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown, John Crawford, Eric Garner and Tamir Rice.

According to the extremists, they would rather see the cars run their ass down.

Solomon and Pratt discussed the assassination of two police officers in New York last week, which they blamed on demonstrators.

Solomon, trying to give Pratt cover by saying “Larry will not condone this” suggested, “The next time there’s a die-in, make sure they’re dead. The next time they block the road, run their asses over. I think it will slow down.”

“Well, it’s a very confrontational mentality that we’re dealing with,” Pratt responded, “and at some point the police will have to come to the conclusion that it’s us or them.”

He went on to suggest that the protests would create “no-go zones” in cities where police would refuse to enter: "If they’re going to have to deal with an enemy terrain where a lot of people, and they can’t sort out ahead of time who’s the enemy and who is not, I think that’s going to lead to the conclusion that ‘I’m not going in there.’"

John Crawford's Girlfriend Passes Away!

John Crawford girlfriend killed in traffic accident.
This holiday brings news of a tragedy. The woman who was with John Crawford III back in August 2014 was killed in a double fatal accident in Dayton, Ohio.

Tasha Thomas was with Crawford at a Wal-Mart this past August when Beavercreek officers shot and killed him. He picked up an air rifle while shopping at that store and a 911 caller tipped them off and the officers fired on him without warning.

The cops weren't charged in his death and that led to massive protests. In the wake of the Michael Brown shooting and Eric Garner stranglehold controversy, Crawford managed to make the national news circuit.

Tasha along with her new boyfriend died in Dayton this week. Thursday afternoon, residents reported that a vehicle was traveling at an excessive speed. The vehicle would lose control and hit a trolley pole splitting the car in two. The passenger Thomas was killed on sight. Her boyfriend Fredrick Berry was pronounced dead at the Miami Valley Hospital.

The junk food media now refocuses on Black criminals. For the fact that the driver and Thomas weren't in seat belts, they are going to be regarded by the racist right as "BLACK CRIMINALS" and "OBAMA'S IMAGINARY CHILDREN".

Ohio State Patrol and Dayton Police warned that road deaths rise during the Christmas and New Year's holiday.

Me and S. Baldwin will cover this as best as we can. More details will be provided soon.

We here at Journal de la Reyna send our condolences to the family of Tasha Thomas and Fredrick Berry.

Yearly Wrap Up!

A new year.

Meh, I would say this has been one year to look upon as decent at best. I only work one job right now. Back in October, I was let go from a high paying job and now working at the job I come to respect somewhat. Of course, I haven't left my duties as a contributor. I want to keep the readers and our supporters interested in our blog.

We here at Journal de la Reyna covered a lot and hopefully will aid our readers into 2015 with a better outlook ahead.

Overall I reflect on the stories.

Republicans take control of Congress.

Joni Ernst became the winner of the year. This controversial politico once did hog castration. She won the seat by retiring Senator Tom Harkin (D-IA). She was aided by the insurgency and radio host Laura Ingraham. Some claim that she'll be more a problem than Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX).

Scott Brown is thought to be a presidential contender in 2016. But this loss in the New Hampshire senate race became a major setback may eventually wipe him off the political watchlist.

Barack Obama despite a setback in his agenda, he is looking for a fight. He hopes the public will finally acknowledge his policies are working.

Mitch McConnell is the most dirtiest politician to ever be in Washington. Beat the Democrat who claimed that she didn't even vote for Obama. Alison Lundergen Grimes was one of McConnell's toughest opponents. Why the hell she got beaten so badly? First Grimes denounce the president. That got her funds pulled. Then Mitch seized on her comments about how coal workers are poor and clueless. She was inconsistent on issues. Kentucky was always a Republican hold. No question. They don't like Mitch, but they'll have him over a Democrat who can't figure where they stand. Even Bill Clinton, a favorite among Kentuckians couldn't save this train wreck. That might spell trouble for Hillary Clinton if she was to wade her way into the Deep South. Big problem. Mitch got aided by the establishment and insurgency. Even though that former Alaskan governor hates his guts, she rather have McConnell than Harry Reid as Majority Leader.
Controversial comic featuring John Crawford, Eric Garner, Michael Brown and Tamir Rice.
Mary Landrieu been a senator for three terms. Her term ended and left the Democrats without a senator in the Deep South. Running away from the president cost her dearly. Or it could have been the white resentment stroked by the insurgency. The insurgency didn't like how she was telling the junk food media that her constituents had issues with the first black president. Representatives Bill Cassidy (R-LA) and Tom Cotton (R-AR) will leave the House for the U.S. Senate. Cotton beat Mark Pryor in Arkansas.

Already the Republicans got into some deep shit. New York Republican Michael Grimm was found guilty in a corruption charge and Louisiana Republican Steve Scalise admits that he went to conference being held by White extremists.

Ray Rice knocking his wife out was the talk of the sports world. In Atlantic City, Rice and then his fiance got into a heated fight and cameras focus on him knocking her out. Rice admitted he told Roger Goodell what happened. Rice was suspended indefinitely. He is fighting to keep his job.

Michael Sam the first openly gay football star who got sacked before even stepping on the field. The former University of Missouri football player was a top of his game. He was voted with high marks among the scouts and fans. He took a nosedive after making a public admission. He came out to ESPN and the media went totally bananas. They were wondering if there's a possibility of gay football star could be ever possible.
Senator Joni Ernst (R-IA)
Adrian Peterson was caught in a scandal too. He was suspended after it was revealed that he beat his son with a switch. A switch is a piece of a tree limb that people use to spank their child. Peterson was benched for most of the season.  Peterson had pleaded no contest to the misdemeanor charge of recklessly assaulting his four-year-old son. He will avoid a jail sentence after reaching a plea agreement with a court in Texas. He fought back in court and is granted free agent status.

Sam with no team or no contract is now on the media circuit complaining about how the NFL creates this standard to allow wife beaters, child beaters play but not gay men.

Jonathon Dwyer was booked into jail on one count of aggravated assault causing a fracture, one count of aggravated assault involving a minor, two counts of criminal damage, one count of preventing the use of a phone in an emergency, and assault. He was freed the next morning on a $25,000 cash bond and ordered to wear an electronic monitoring device.

Michael Brown, John Crawford, Renisha McBride, Tamir Rice, Darrien Hunt, Eric Garner paid the price for being unarmed Black citizens being murdered by the law or a vigilante.

Okay, we're seen the convictions of two. The shooter of Jordan Davis, Michael Dunn get life in the iron college. Then Theodore Wafer was given three nickels in the iron college for the death of Renisha McBride.

Donald Sterling, Bill Cosby, Rickey Wagoner, Sean Hannity, Matt Drudge, Suge Knight, Cliven Bundy, Charles C. Johnson, and Sony were some of the most controversial figures of the year.

Donald Sterling
Okay, I know that America's most hate individual is probably Donald Sterling. But what about Ray Rice, Darren Wilson, Bill Cosby or Suge Knight?

You guest it. They're on the list of this year's hot mess.

The former owner of the Los Angeles Clippers, Donald Sterling was caught on tape saying some nasty and outright racist things about Blacks attending his games. You got to admit that he was set up by a gold digger. That hot mess was forced out of the NBA, he was forced to sell the Clippers and he was banned for life after this fiasco. This also brought shame to the former owner of the Atlanta Hawks. He wrote an email to the staff saying some pretty bad things about Blacks too.

Them skeletons came out the closet. Bill Cosby, America's favorite father figure and perennial complainer of the Black community is seeing his legacy fall upon him. He's been accused raping numerous women. These women claimed that Cosby mentored them through their acting careers.

Cliven Bundy is the Nevada rancher who caused such an uproar. The rancher squared off with the federal government after he was warned to pay his dues. He got major airtime on Fox News and other right wing outlets after this uproar. In a interview with NPR and later the Associated Press, Bundy would make racially charged statements about Black people.

Suge Knight may see bars again. The former CEO of Death Row Records was injured at a Chris Brown party. He was shot by an assailant and was treated for his injuries. Just a few months later, he and comedian Katt Williams got caught up attacking a woman. Now he could be spending the rest of his life in the iron college after violating his parole. Is he going to blame Dr. Dre for his mishaps again. After all, his old foe is now a billionaire after selling his BEATS audio to Apple.
Jay-Z and Beyonce
Rickey Wagoner is a Dayton bus driver who created this story about three Black men attacking him because he believed they were looking for a polar bear.

The Racist Right obsesses over Michael Brown and crime through the racial lens. Colin Flaherty, Charles C. Johnson and Jim Hoft were spreading around that fake picture of former Ferguson officer Darren Wilson with a busted eye socket. It turns out that the person was a stuntman.

Colin Flaherty is a certified nutjob. He and some of those on the racist right have concocted a story about packs of Black teens and the such. He wrote a book called White Girl Bleeds Alot and it focuses criticism of the media not focusing on Black on White crime. Instead of just focusing on all factions that lead to crime, it concludes with baseless condescending rhetoric.

Sean Hannity is ranked the worst cable news host ever. He is a perennial name dropper. He can't go a day without mentioning President Barack Obama in a sentence. He is so annoying even fellow colleagues have spoke about it behind closed doors.

Matt Drudge is the Craigslist of news agitators. Still around and still promoting those racial stories. Like Hannity, Drudge is a notorious race baiter and name dropper. On the news agitator's page he'll put some not so nice pictures of the president on the top lines. Then the anonymous trolls click on the stories and head straight down to the comment section. They post racially insensitive nonsense on the web and its became a huge concern for websites. They decided to "regulate" civility on comment sections.

Sony close the year in the red. Literally, Sony pulls the plug on the Seth Rogen movie The Interview. It mocks the North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un. It caused such an uproar because it was a hacking incident that occurred and it leaked out some embarrassing emails from some of the Sony executives. They openly mocked Black actors and President Barack Obama. They took shots at Angelina Jolie-Pitt, an activist and major celebrity among the junk food media elites.

Beau Bergdahl the U.S. solider who was held captive for nearly five years comes back to the United States amid heavy criticism from the racist right.
Legendary comedian Robin Williams died.
Also there were mentions of Jay-Z. He was called a "crack dealer", smacked by Solange Knowles, sold his share in the Brooklyn Nets and also met Prince William.

Robin Williams tragic death shocked the nation. I was surprised and sadden by his death. The world lost one the best gifts ever. He had memorable roles such as a Theodore Roosevelt in the Night at The Museum. Also he is best known for being the Genie in Aladdin, Mork in Mork & Mindy, and the Crazy Ones.

Lil' Wayne and 50 Cent were in the news. The Unit reunited for an album. Wayne is talking about leaving Cash Money and Young Money. Wiz Khalifa splits from Amber Rose. Chris Rock splits from Malaak Compton. Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon called it quits. Wow.

So many things happened while blogging, I couldn't fit it all in. I'll do my best next time.

Wish all a safe New Year. We move forward.

Die In At Walmart!

Protester outside Beavercreek Walmart. In August 2014, John Crawford was shot and killed by police after he picked up an air rifle.

The protesters for Michael Brown, Eric Garner, Tamir Rice, and John Crawford III were at the Walmart in the Dayton. Ohio suburb of Beavercreek to stage a "die in".

The protesters were causing such a ruckus the store had temporary shut down.

They believe that the shooting of Crawford and the death of Angie Williams were unjustified.

John Crawford was in the Walmart and he picked up an open air rifle. The caller Ronald Ritchie called the law on him after he accused him of waving the gun at children.

Officers responded quickly. They gave the warning to drop and within two seconds, Crawford was gunned down. He would die on route to hospital.

He was in given right to purchase a firearm. But to the residents of Beavercreek and the racist right, he's a criminal.

FRED101, no comments from this point. I will no longer allow comments on certain stories. It's not that I want to "censor" you, but I am getting really tired of reading the word vomit you leave that totally ignores the purpose. I don't have time to explain your comments or counter balance. I rather continue posting.

You seem to come around only when it involves race. So I will now put a decreed on certain stories.

Any story that involves Black issues, I will not allow comments. You can certainly comment on issues involving our community and entertainers. I don't worry what happens in Lil' Wayne or Kim Kardashian's world. Go to town on it.

But sensitive issues such as unarmed citizens being killed by law enforcement is certainly driving you to Journal de la Reyna.

This and other events have certainly divided thought.

Cleveland Police Union: Andrew Hawkins Should Stick To Football!

Cleveland Browns vs. Cincinnati Bengals
What they going to do? Shoot him.

When you're passionate about an issue, you do a form of protest.

When you are NFL player, according to the some, you better stick to being a football player than an activist.

Andrew Hawkins of the AFC Cleveland Browns got the president of the Cleveland Policeman Patrol Union pissed off when he played last Sunday against Cincinnati Bengals (AFC). Hawkins wore an over shirt with the Justice for Tamir Rice and John Crawford.

Young black males who were gunned down by police. Crawford was gunned down in August after he picked up an air rifle and was strolling through the store. A caller tipped off Beavercreek police and one of the officers put a bullet in him.

Rice was a 12 year old boy who was at park playing with an air rifle. A caller tips the Cleveland police and the officer who responded put a bullet in him.

Each of these incidents in Ohio has gotten so much attention.

Hawkins is currently feuding with Jeff Follmer, the president of the union.

The Plain Dealer reported that the union president calling the Browns wide receiver wearing "Justice for Tamir Rice" shirt is "pathetic."

Jeff Follmer said on Sunday that Hawkins' shirt was disrespectful and demanded an apology from the Browns.

Hawkins wore a shirt that said "Justice for Tamir Rice and John Crawford" on the front and "The Real Battle for Ohio" on the back during pre-game warm-ups before the Browns home game against the Cincinnati Bengals at FirstEnergy Stadium.

"He's an athlete. He's someone with no facts of the case whatsoever," Follmer said. "He's disrespecting the police on a job that we had to do and make a split-second decision."

The Browns in a statement said they respect Cleveland police and their players right to support certain causes.

"We have great respect for the Cleveland Police Department and the work that they do to protect and serve our city," the statement says. "We also respect our players' rights to project their support and bring awareness to issues that are important to them if done so in a responsible manner."

Rice, 12, was fatally shot on Nov. 22 by rookie Cleveland police officer Timothy Loehmann less than two seconds after he arrived to investigate a complaint about Tamir carrying what turned out to be a fake gun.

Crawford, 22, was fatally shot by police on Aug. 5 while holding a toy rifle inside a Walmart in Beavercreek, outside Dayton.

Follmer said many Cleveland police officers work security for the Browns games and are employed by Browns.

"He should stick to playing football and let us worry about law enforcement," Follmer said. "The players don't know what our job entails. Don't judge us by what you're reading in the media."

He goes to Obama News to defend his remarks.



Hawkins responds back to the union president.

Loserville Only Pulls 1% Of Black Viewers!

White people love that network.

The not so subtle racism coming out of that network merits results.

Only 1% of the general cable news viewers are Black. That means no Black viewer actually listens to those Black extremists like Jesse Lee Peterson, Angela McGlowan, Allen West, Benjamin Carson, Deanne Borelli, Stacey Dash, Juan Williams and David Webb whine about how Blacks are being brainwashed by them evil Democrats.

The negativity of President Barack Obama from the likes of that annoying conservative agitator obviously makes Blacks change the channel.

Mediaite reports During the primetime hours of 8-11 p.m., MSNBC’s audience is 24% black, CNN’s audience is 16% black and their audience is just 1% black. By comparison MSNBC’s primetime audience is 67% white while CNN’s is 73% white and that network is 92% white.
Want a piece of the mud pie? These Blacks are conservative agitators.
According to the 2010 census, 72% of Americans identify as “white alone” while 13% say they are “black or African-American.” That means that both CNN and MSNBC are overrepresented when it comes to black viewers, while that network is vastly underrepresented.

Using November 2014 as an example, It has undisputed record in winning the primetime. It averaged 2.082M total viewers in primetime, compared to 653K for CNN and 605K for CNN. That means that network had an average of about 20,820 African-Americans watching on a nightly basis. For CNN, that number was approximately 104,480 and for MSNBC it was 145,200.

So even with an audience that more than doubles its competitors, Loserville had far fewer black viewers than the other two networks.

Jon Stewart who is currently feuding with that annoying conservative agitator made note of the swipe at media mogul Jay-Z. That agitator called Jay-Z, a successful rapper, media mogul and business executive a "former crack dealer". Yeah, that's true that Jay-Z sold dope when he was a nobody. But he changed his life and got into the music industry and managed to turn his life around.

Jay-Z endorsed President Barack Obama's reelection and it set off a major feud between that annoying conservative agitator and the rapper. The agitator has taken swipes at his wife pop singer Beyonce and even gone as far to compare the rapper to Trayvon Martin.

You know I rather pal around with Jay-Z than some annoying conservative agitator who once thought getting waterboarded would be great for charity. I rather pal around with Jay-Z than this foolish millionaire who drops Obama's name more than 100 times within 20 minutes. I rather pal around with Jay-Z than this foolish agitator who got demoted after telling his gullible audience that Barack Obama would lose in a landslide.

What Republicans Need To Know Before They Open Their Goddamn Mouths!

Protesters with the Hands Up Don't Shot pose. Conservatives are trying to undermine the protesters by saying the act "pathetic" and "discredited".

This is the perfect year for the Republicans. They won control of Congress. The party gained more than expected this year. With a new House and Senate majority in the coming year, they have the power to get things done. Their archenemy's last two years begins. We'll see how they handle the pressure.

So far they've alienated a whole lot of people in their path to victory. The party chief Reince Priebus managed to control the situation. He feared that Republican nominee would doom their chances.

Why?

Cause they would open their mouths and vomit out nonsense.

One thing that comes to mind, with this new Republican controlled Congress, would these individuals work for the good or act like their constituents who hide behind the keyboards.

Here's a few things that I want to say to the condescending Republican. You know, the internet troll, your friend, your co-worker, your spouse or your family member who supports Republicans or conservative causes. Let's get a few things straight, you don't know much about me but I certainly know a lot about you.

The memes.

Conservatives always run this nonsense that Democrats and progressives are the real racists. I do agree that there are White liberals who have resent towards Black America. Those White liberals smile in your face and shake your hand, but talk about you behind your back and promise Black America with winks and nods. At least they will stomach a Black president.

But for a conservative, it's pretty much out in the open. In subtle or not so subtle ways, White and Black conservatives have this theme to say they're not racist.

They claim that Black people got better treatment under President Barack Obama. If I, being a Black man got better treatment under the first Black president, I guess I am living high on hog. I guess I am living in a suburban home with my wife and kids. I guess I got this great job that pays me a six figure salary.

I got the Cadillac and the big mansions. I got it all. Nope.

I am still struggling day to day working at a low level job. I am hoping that things get better. I am fearful of the institutional racism that exist in the workforce. Great talents are often shunned because of perception. Perception is the common theme of American racism. I can be in street clothes or in a business suit, regardless I'm a NIGGER to the White conservative male.

Which one makes that woman cling on her purse or tuck her blouse?

Understand that Black unemployment under White presidents has never improved. Black unemployment is now an issue when we have our first Black president. C'mon you got to be that stupid to place all the blame on Barack Obama for Black unemployment.

I agree that Obama deserves blame for the current Black unemployment. But Black unemployment has been stagnant for the last 60 years.

After all out of 320 million people, there's at least 14 million people who are likely racist and there's 14 million people still looking for jobs. So I guess there's a similarity towards that.

In one breathe a Republican or conservative would say that the president is so focused on race but in a few moments they would say that Black lives haven't improved under a Black president.

The president works with all the people. Last time I check, he won the election with a strong voter turnout. And it's proven that in the United States, a first. Barack Hussein Obama II is the first Black president. There's nothing wrong about that. He is the first non-White leader of the United States.

The last presidents were White.

There were 42 presidents before Barack Obama. They were White men.

Are you saying tell me that Whites got better treatment when there were White presidents?

You say that electing the first Black president proves that racism is over!

Not a chance.

The moment Obama came into the White House, the death threats towards him increased heavily.

The rally calls of opposition started from those upset over the past two presidential elections  (i.e. Republican lawmakers, Fox News, Rush Limbaugh, WorldNetDaily, Drudge Report). It led to the grassroots activism of the Tea Party (which I regard as an insurgency).

I never heard of some of these anti-Black websites until I got called a NIGGER online by a conservative who supported one of those failed Republican presidential candidates. Yeah I been called a NIGGER more online than in person. I know that those who view Black negatively hide behind the bandwidth bridge. These people believe the president is inferior in their minds. No matter what he does, they call him a NIGGER.

Who the fuck creates websites devoted to attacking Black America, Barack Obama and those who aren't White?

There are so many anti-Black websites since Obama won. It's a majority of them are extremely conservative and conspiratorial.

If you're telling me that racism is over, why are all stories gin up about unarmed citizens being killed by law enforcement is not a race issue? You have a website that looks almost like Craigslist and it has selective local stories that makes Blacks look like enemies.

Black lives haven't improved since the Reconstruction. Conservatives claim that Republicans freed the slaves. I guess Republicans are saying that Black America owes them.

I haven't seen a Black man on the cover of People Magazine. Don't get me wrong, I don't have no problem with White people at all. Regardless of everything, we're human beings.

I have no issues with billionaires, entertainers, athletes, activists, law enforcement, politicians and those in the media who are White. They live in this country along with everyone else.

Crime is universal. It doesn't discriminate against race, gender, sexuality, nationality, religion, political or social class.

Black on whatever crime is a common talking point among White and Black conservatives. It's kicked up a notch since we have the first Black president. Every event isn't given national exposure.

Anytime there's a protest of injustice in the Black community, conservatives would sell the oranges instead of the apples. The condescending folks would bemoan about Black on whatever crime for every unarmed Black killing by law enforcement.

I am sorry I don't need lectures from those who never been in a situation. I've been profiled by law enforcement. It was a detestable moment. I am not even a criminal.

But the condescending would see me a "thug" because I own a firearm, had a minor traffic offense and sometimes wearing my clothing that may seem to represent the hip-hop culture.

I really hate hearing Republicans and conservatives sell these apple and orange issues. I mean as much as I hate Democrats and liberals trying to jumble every issue to any issue, the Republicans and conservatives do it in a way that makes them look like condescending bigots.

This is devoted to Fred101 and anyone else who sells the oranges. You can't fit every issue in a one hour news program, 30 minute news program, an internet blog or comment section.

I admit that I don't cover every crime in America. If I would do that, I would have to spend tireless nights focusing on crime in nearly 468,000 communities in the United States.

Again, the condescending would see me a "thug" because I own a firearm, had a minor traffic offenses and sometimes I am wearing my hat turned back.

This is a passionate issue. Each side has a right to talk about it. Unfortunately I don't have to read any of the crap you condescending losers post on Journal de la Reyna.
