FBI head James Comey said that the Ferguson effect kind of makes policing a tad bit difficult.
He said that in the age of YouTube, this is making police officer's jobs even harder. He believes police officers will deliberately ignore criminal activity in order to do their jobs.
Nowadays you can whip out a camera phone and record an encounter with the law. Again, you have the right to film police officers. They are civil servants. They're human as well. They are obligated to follow the law as well.
When you put something on the internet, it's there forever. It's apart of the social media craze that driven the narrative #BlackLivesMatter.
The group has been actively protesting against unfair police encounters.
Shaun White, DeRay McKesson and Bree Newsome have been pushing this controversy into the mainstream.
The full video of the Spring Valley High School Police Officer brutally assaulting a peaceful student. pic.twitter.com/oHIS8GrtSS
And of course, the noise. The conservatives line up the biggest concern troll to hide behind the badge.
Milwaukee County sheriff David Clarke, Jr. is the racist right's go-to guy for all things anti-Black.
Clarke was on that network saying that police brutality doesn't exist. This clown adamantly said that President Barack Obama is solely responsible for the deaths of police officers.
So I am guessing that he's solely responsible for the deaths of citizens held in police custody too!
In Columbia, South Carolina, a lawman who operates for the school is in the freezer after a video surfaced of him slamming a disruptive student on the ground. A student filmed the encounter and posted it on YouTube. The young girl who is not identified as of yet, was seen being dragged on the ground and body slammed by the officer.
The school officer grabbed a high school student from her chair, knocked her to the floor and dragged her across the classroom on Monday, a video shows.
The brief, shaky video shows an officer grab the student by her arms while she's sitting at her desk and flip her over, toppling the desk. The officer then yanks the girl to the front of the classroom.
The officer has been identified as Deputy Ben Fields. He's in the freezer pending a decision on whether discipline or criminal charges are filed. Richland County Sheriff's Department spokesman Lt. Curtis Wilson said, according to the junk food media.
The lawman drags the young girl across the floor. A student records the encounter and posted it on social media.
The video becomes blurry after the officer and the student reach the front of the classroom, but the officer appears to restrain the student by putting her arms behind her back. In a longer version of the video, the officer looms over the student before grabbing her.
Libby Roof, a communications officer for Richland School District Two, told the junk food media that officials were "deeply concerned" about the incident.
"Student safety is and always will be the district’s top priority," Roof said in a statement. "The district will not tolerate any actions that jeopardize the safety of our students. Pending the outcome of the investigation, the district has directed that the school resource officer not return to any school in the district."
The student had refused to leave class before the school officer became involved, the sheriff's office told the local TV station.
Incidents of violence involving students and school or local law enforcement are not uncommon. Last November, a video emerged of a school resource officer punching a student in the face, supposedly to break up a fight. An incident earlier this month shows a cop grabbing a teen by the neck and slamming him to the ground. And another shows a man using what Fusion calls a "WWE wrestling move" on a 14-year-old student.
Spring Valley High School officials didn't immediately respond to inquiries. A spokesman for the Richland County sheriff's office was unavailable, according to someone who answered the department's phone, because the office had been "inundated" with calls.
Seven South Carolina interns got a lengthy bid in the iron college for smuggling contraband into the iron college. Matter of fact, they lost almost every privilege in the regards to this YouTube video that surfaced on the net.
Someone filmed the interns rapping from the walls. They ended up posting their rap music video on WorldStarHipHop, a notorious celebrity agitating website.
The South Carolina Department of Corrections scrapped their recording gig.
Rapping from the walls got interns time in the hole.
This video got them more time out. They will have time in the hole. They will have a combined amount of 20 years in the hole in the wall. The hole in the wall is solidarity confinement. The SCDC came under fire for the punishment after it was revealed even longer periods of solitary confinement were given to other prisoners for using social media in the past.
The six minute video went viral.
These interns were given a combined total punishment of 7,150 days, or 19.75 years, of solitary confinement at the South Carolina Department of Corrections (SCDC). The group of men recorded the video, “I’m On,” last March
Of course, our conservative concern trolls are probably already engaging in attacking hip-hop music, BlackLivesMatter and President Barack Obama.
The insurgents who make up the Freedom Caucus vow to derail any Republican willing to work with President Barack Obama.
Some of the candidates running for Weeper of the House include: Rep. Daniel Webster (R-FL) and Rep. Jason Chaffettz (R-UT). They are running for the spot now that Rep. John Boehner (R-OH) left abruptly. He vows to leave Congress before the end of the year.
The turmoil began when Boehner's handpicked successor Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) screwed up on that annoying conservative agitator's show. He told the viewers that the Benghazi select committee was devoted to destroying Hillary Clinton at the polls. That created a shit storm within the party.
Before McCarthy was to place his bid in, he abruptly took his name out the running. Allegations of ineptness and an affair with Rep. Renee Ellmers (R-NC) have swirled around the grapevine.
McCarthy is now fighting to stay on as Majority Leader.
Now the next handpicked candidate for the job, Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI).
Ryan is the former 2012 vice presidential nominee for the perennial loser Mitt Romney. The Wisconsin lawmaker is from Janesville and became a "rock star" during the debate over the debt ceiling.
Ryan kept a relatively low profile after the crushing defeat. He hasn't spoken much to Romney.
Ryan chairs the House Ways and Means Committee.
Ryan isn't really interested in the gig but is willing to do so for the sake of the party. The consideration of Ryan becoming the next Weeper has the junk food media talking.
The other candidates, nearly a dozen, all lack Ryan's stature and broad support and it's not clear if any of them could gather the needed backing to become speaker.
With the speculation of Ryan jumping in, conservatives are crying foul. They believe that Ryan is a "loser" and too cozy with Boehner. The outgoing Minority Leader, Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV) had praised Ryan for being a leader that could help move America forward.
They think he's soft on immigration and entitlement reform.
Ryan is a fiscal and social conservative.
Ryan wants a plurality of support from Republicans. He doesn't want no obstruction. He wants the Republicans to suck it up and help move the government forward.
Ryan made clear that family comes first and said he would be spending less time on the road than Boehner, who traveled nearly every weekend raising money for the party. Ryan, by contrast, has three school-age kids in Janesville, and wants to be able to continue to spend plenty of time with them.
"I genuinely worry about the consequences that my agreeing to serve will have on them. Will they experience the viciousness and incivility that we all face here on a daily basis?" Ryan said. "But my greatest worry, my greatest worry is the consequence of not stepping up, of someday having my own kids ask me, 'When the stakes were so high, why didn't you do all you could do, why didn't you stand and fight for my future?' "
Any thoughts on Ryan's potential run for the Weeper of the House?
NO SNITCHIN' lands man in federal court. He could have prevented the Charleston massacre.
The tragedy in Charleston is a black eye on America. The shooting at the Emmanuel AME Church by Dylann Roof killed nine innocent church goers. The pastor, Clementa Pickney was a state senator for the state of South Carolina. His death brought a strong debate on the safety of lawmakers.
The terrorist wrapped his arms around the Confederate flag. It sparked feverish pitch to remove the Confederate flag from the state capitol grounds in Columbia. The flag came down in July. The flag came down in July.
The terrorist's motives were to spark a race war. He held extremely conservative views.
Should we blame the Tea Party and the AM agitators for his own actions? They seem so quick to blame Black Lives Matter for the deaths of those in law enforcement.
Our conservative agitators in the junk food media didn't see race as a motive. They saw him as a stupid kid who was marijuana junkie who had mental issues.
Many of his friends saw that he had issues with Blacks. They thought of him as the "nice guy" who was a bit of an "oddball". They knew he had interest in guns.
Well one of his friends is going up the creek because of him. Joey Meek will face a trial for withholding information. When the FBI investigates the terrorist's motives, Meek gave them a false testimony.
Meek knew that the terrorist was heading down to Charleston.
Meek believes in "NO SNITCHIN". The result: Meek is going to be in federal court on a charge of lying to federal authorities and concealing evidence. That right there can land him in federal time out for 10 years.
Meek is innocent until proven guilty. Now you got to understand the rules of federal time out. When you are sentenced to federal time out, you WILL serve all the sentence. No question.
Roof is innocent until proven guilty. If found guilty, the terrorist will go to federal time out. He will face the gas house.
Republicans will likely keep their hold on the Senate.
This has been a very unproductive year for the Republican-led Congress. The House and Senate have spent a majority of their time trying to oppose the president's policies and repealing the laws created from the previous sessions.
They are officially back to work. They got a highway spending bill to pass. They got to pass a budget for the fiscal year. They have to raise the debt ceiling. They have to authorize the president's military action to fight against the Islamic State. They also have to decide on the Six Power resolution on Iran.
The Republicans have signaled opposition to the Iranian deal. They have promised to pass a temporary stop gap bill for highway funding. They want to repeal the healthcare law. They want to cut funding to Planned Parenthood. They want to pass the reactionary Kate Steinle law.
President Barack Obama promised to veto any legislation that goes against his agenda.
So far the job approval of Congress is 13%. The leadership of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) have been dismal at best.
By far, Republicans are fucked. The longtime lawmakers fear they may be usurped by insurgents.
Could the insurgents retake Congress once again?
Rep. Tammy Duckworth (D-IL) vows to beat Sen. Mark Kirk (R-IL). The double amputee veteran could win. She could be the first Asian American woman from the state to be a senator.
My best thoughts on the U.S. Senate race include the ones the junk food media will focus on.
So far I count this as unpredictable. It's a matter of anti-establishment or anti-politician. It's a focus rather on Obama fatigue or the inept Republican led Congress.
The races so far are handicapped by SAFE, LIKELY, LEAN or TOSS UP.
Anything I say doesn't matter. I don't control the mind of a voter. But I will tell you that the Republicans have to the most seats up for grabs. The Democrats have the most to defend.
So far, if the elections were today, Republicans would retain seats and earn two. Democrats would retake two and retain most of their seats.
I can't predict the outcome but I guarantee that most of these candidates will survive an election. A few of them might have an insurgent challenger in the primaries. But who knows?
These seats were won by Barack Obama in 2008 and 2012. Four states are controlled by Republicans governors: Nevada, Florida, Ohio, Illinois, and Wisconsin.
Colorado is controlled by a Democratic governor.
Sen. Michael Bennet (D-CO) the most vulnerable Democrat running for the senate.
Ron Johnson and Mark Kirk are the most vulnerable Republicans in this race. They have the most to fear because of the state's political leans. Scott Walker who is running for president has terrible job approval in his state. His bid for president could be an anchor for Johnson. Matter of fact, there could be a federal probe into Walker's office. Wisconsin voters are unpredictable. They have voted for Walker three times. He survived. Could Johnson survive? He will likely face the former senator Russ Feingold. The Democrat was defeated in the insurgent wave. Feingold is considering another challenge against his old nemesis.
Kirk on the other hand has the most to lose. Kirk holds on the old seat once held by then senator Barack Obama. Kirk had an opportunity to retire when he suffered a stroke. But he held on to the seat. He also said some offensive things about fellow senator (presidential candidate) Lindsey Graham (R-SC). Kirk has to deal with the most competitive challenger the Democrats lined up. Rep. Tammy Duckworth (D-IL) has signaled her intention to run. She like Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) have both served in the Iraqi War. She is a double amputee who won against an insurgent in 2012. She easily won her seat in 2014. The Democrats hope that she could built enough support to take on well funded Kirk.
Michael Bennet is the most vulnerable Democrat in the race. Bennet survived an insurgent challenge the first time, but could he face another one? Colorado Republicans have embraced weed legalization and a more stern stances to immigration. Insurgent Rep. Ken Buck (R-CO) who faced him will likely sit it out. But the only candidate I can see willing to challenge Bennet is former secretary of state Scott Gessler. It's a toss up. Gessler's history could be a potential problem. Also the only Republican confirming a run is Darryl Glenn. He is an El Paso County commissioner. He has little name recognition.
Ohio's Rob Portman hasn't lost an election. He may face former Democratic governor Ted Strickland in this race. Portman is well funded and his job approval is decent here. John Kasich's run for president and his job approval may inspire Republicans to vote likely for Portman. He is one of the few Republicans to endorse marriage equality. He is also a political moderate who works with Democrats at some point.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is retiring. He is part of the gridlock machine that kept Congress at record low job approval. His retirement is a good thing for Washington. It's a bad thing for Democrats. They have a real good fight on them. They have to line up a candidate to take on the potential Republican. No candidate inspires me. Talk radio agitator Wayne Allan Root is too extreme. Shannon Angle is too dumb. Democrats are corrupt in Nevada. Who knows? We'll see if there's a candidate willing to take the seat.
Florida's Marco Rubio decided to run for president. He can't be on the ballot twice. So he opt out for retirement to focus solely on the presidential run. He has nothing to lose. He may win the nomination. But then again, he may be a potential veep candidate. He, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) have chosen to take the gamble of being relatively unaccomplished politicians running for the nomination. Rubio's job approval is bad in Florida. The Republicans have to scramble to find a candidate willing to defend the seat. Rep. Patrick Murphy (D-FL), a conservative leaning Democrat has signaled a run for the seat. I don't see any inspiring Republican challenger. The state is a toss-up for two reasons. Florida is a major swing state. Rick Scott sucks as a governor and his job approval could hurt the Republican nominee. Freshman insurgent Rep. David Jolly (R-FL) has signaled his intentions for the U.S. Senate seat. He recently won after Bill Young died.
Sen. Rand Paul is running for president and as a senator. Donald Trump put his bid in jeopardy. The people of Kentucky have soured upon Paul for his inept actions. He hasn't accomplish much as a senator and they're likely to reward him another term. But he may face a primary challenger if he opts out the presidential bid for the senate. Paul is an insurgent candidate who's got the most to lose. If he fails to get the nomination, he will continue his bid for the senate. As Trump said, why would Kentucky be willing to take a candidate who has failed!
Sen. John McCain from Arizona is by far the most annoying of the establishment. He will face a likely challenger from the right. He beat J.D. Hayworth in a primary fight in 2010. Trump mocked McCain on his status as a POW. McCain mocked Republicans for taking a tough stance on immigration. Trump used that as an advantage as well as his failed bids for president. His former running mate Sarah Palin will not endorse his bid. While the state is leaning as a swing, it's still has strong Republican hold. McCain running could be a safe bet. But given his standings with the party establishment and his inconsistent stances on issues, he could be beaten. Arizona will be a likely Republican hold.
Another reason to hate Black conservatives: Ben Carson is running for president. Carson a former neurosurgeon had compared the Affordable Care Act to slavery. He is rising in the polls despite having little experience or the ability to be president.
I got this little list of the country's most conservative Black extremists. Yeah, I am inviting our friends on the right to comment on this. These Black conservatives are so out of the mainstream of America, they do the Republican Party no favors.
With the announcement of Ben Carson jumping into the clown car, I want to share with you the Blacks who will either promote Carson as he rises in the polls. These are the very same Black extremists who claim the president is a the biggest racist to ever exist.
Barack Obama, the first Black president is often a target of racially insensitive comments. Some of the comments come from these Black conservative extremists.
Again, I am not trying to silence these extremists. That's the first thing I read in the word vomit.
They are entitled to be condescending bigots.
Conservatism is dosed in the fuel of hate of someone's race, gender, sexuality, nationality, religion, political and economic standings. They don't represent progress! Conservatives represent a shallow reality of American bigotry.
You can go into this narrative of me being hateful towards Black conservatives. I don't care anymore! I have no patience for this anymore!
If you think White conservatives are seriously disturbed individuals, you maybe right. But unfortunately, Black conservatives are just as bad. These individuals are progress in reverse when it comes to Civil Rights for all Americans. They believe that this country is on a slow path to destruction due to the policies of the "Democrat" Party and liberalism.
These Black extremists will hide behind the Civil Rights Movement to promote their hatred of Blacks, Hispanics, LGBT, Muslims, and President Barack Obama.
When you listen to people such as James David Manning, Kevin Jackson, CL Bryant, Jesse Lee Peterson, Alveda King, or even Deneen Borelli you shake your head. They rush to the cameras to promote conservative ideas. But unfortunately, they're look upon as kooks and extremists.
They cry often about being called "sell outs", "Uncle Toms", "bootlickers" and the such.
However, they're so eager to call the president, First Lady Michelle Obama, Attorney General Loretta Lynch, Eric Holder, Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton, "race hustlas", "racists" and "liberal slaveowners".
See they can dish it out but they sure can't take it.
Let's take a look at these Black extremists.
Alveda King is the niece of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. But since the death of his widow, Coretta Scott King, out of the woodwork, this person comes forth with the claims her "Uncle Martin" was a lifelong Republican.
This narrative of Martin Luther King, Jr. being a Republican is the new theme of conservatives.
You hear the talking point "Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr Was A Republican" meme through the conservative websites. You can thank her for spreading that rumor. Conservatives continue to pander to this no matter what the fact-checkers say.
Conservatives ignore the teaching of King but yet claim him as one of their own. I am guessing after the death of Yolanda King, the eldest daughter of the Martin Luther King, Jr. her three surviving cousins are feuding over control of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, Alveda King moves to the front of the line with her experiences as a member of the legendary family. But her presence in the Civil Rights movement is no way the teaching of Martin Luther King, Jr.
The Republicans would love to say that King was a "communist" if he was alive. Republicans settled for the first Black president, Barack Obama. If people like Joseph McCarthy was alive today, he would be getting top booking on either that annoying conservative agitator's programs or airtime with Glenn Beck.
Alveda is standing in for him. She was brought to presence at the Restore Honor event in August 2010 when Glenn Beck and that moronic former Alaskan governor were the featured speakers as well as sponsors of the event. While Alveda speaks on her pro-life, anti-gay, and anti-Black stances her cousin Martin Luther King, III is with the families of unarmed suspects shot by police.
The King family went to Selma with President Barack Obama and former president George W. Bush.
Where was Alveda?
This woman is a panderer to the most extreme of human beings. She wrapped her name around a legacy to promote herself as the counter-savior to "Civil Rights leaders" like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton.
The King legacy is being shattered into millions of pieces. The King siblings (Dexter, Bernice and Martin III) are feuding with their estranged cousin.
Charles Payne is a commentator on Loserville who offers business advice and proposals. This no neck brother has made ignorant comments about the Black community.
Payne is a Black conservative agitator who can seem to keep his mouth closed when it comes to the issues of Black community. He is the guy who likens Obama to Stalin or Neville Chamberlain.
Media Matters for America, a liberal watchdog group devoted to tracking conservative misinformation has Payne on their list of most outrageous agitators.
According to the Media Matters, Payne stated that Obama was going to issue reparations for slavery.
The Chicago mayor Rahm Emmanuel issued $5 million to residents of his city in response to corrupt cop. Payne concluded that before the president leaves the White House, Obama will issue government paychecks to victims and descendants of slavery.
Payne found criticism with the BlackLivesMatter protesters. Over the past weekend, some of the protesters interrupted brunch time to read off names of victims who were unarmed killed by police.
Payne was totally pissed off about this so-called racial grievance he would tweet this comment out along with that picture. He went to Twitter to vent off about the picture.
He would later scrub the Twitter posting after he was rounded criticized by those in attendance. They shut him down hard. They let him know that he's been picked through the racial extremist websites for his petty attack.
Payne is a pain in the ass. He is a certified Black extremist and certainly a person I would never ask for financial advice.
Francis Rice is the founder of the National Black Republican Association. Her group is based out of Florida and she gained notoriety for the Martin Luther King, Jr. Was A Republican radio ads.
Rice is a notorious individual. She and Alveda were responsible for pushing the narrative in Black neighborhoods around Tallahassee and Jacksonville.
Thankfully their plan failed. Because no right minded Black person is going to believe the crap that comes out of her mouth.
A real friend of King is the Rev. Joseph Lowery. He knew the Kings very well. When asked about this, Rev. Joseph Lowery let out a soft chuckle that grew stronger as he began to think more about the idea.
"These guys never give up, do they?" said Lowery, who co-founded the Southern Christian Leadership Conference with King. "Lord have mercy."
According to Rice, she thinks Lowery is full of shit. She knows that King is a Republican and she has the evidence to prove it.
"I knew the King family well. We were all Republicans," said Rice, 64. "There was no way Dr. King would have wanted to be in the party of the Ku Klux Klan."
The King Center in Atlanta says there is no proof that King was ever a Republican. Rice stands by her claim.
Mia Love is currently a U.S. Representative from Utah who once served as a mayor for Saratoga Springs.
She shot to fame as being the first Black lawmaker from 98% WHITE Utah. She was born to Haitian parents in Brooklyn, New York, Love was elected as the Mayor of Saratoga Springs, Utah, serving from 2010 to 2014. She was previously on its city council. In 2012, Love ran for Utah's 4th congressional district, losing narrowly to incumbent Democratic Representative Jim Matheson. She was a speaker at the 2012 Republican National Convention.
Matheson feared getting his ass whooped so he retired. The seat was an easy win for Love.
The Republicans can brag about this. They have three Black lawmakers elected to Congress. Love, Sen, Tim Scott (R-SC) and Rep. Will Hurd (R-TX) have became a shield for conservatives.
The Democrats believe that the Republicans have no place for Blacks and Latinos.
The Republicans response is twelve Hispanic lawmakers, three Black lawmakers, two Native American lawmakers six women who are senators and 23 Congresswomen (including a delegate from American Samoa). We got a little bit of progress.
Love joined the Congressional Black Caucus after winning her election. Love promised to shake things up at the CBC. She felt that the members (mostly Democratic members) were agitators of racial angst. She wants to make sure that the CBC will hear all sides.
She already took to defense of Congressman Steve Scalise (R-LA). She believes that the Majority Whip's speech to a white extremist group was a mistake but nothing short of what other politicians done.
Basically saying in the opinion: a mistake doesn't stop the message.
She is probably one of the most controversial members of the House of Representatives outside the usual insurgents, Rep. Steve King (R-IA) and Rep. Mo Brooks (R-AL).
Juan Williams is a commentator on Loserville. Williams is the "token liberal" on Loserville Sundays and The O'Loofus Factor. He also appears on that annoying conservative agitator's programs occasionally.
He is the creator of the Eyes on The Price Mini-Series.
When he's on that network, he's acts like a "counter-balance" to the conservative argument.
One too many times, Juan will aid and abet the conservatives.
And to make this even more interesting, his family are registered Republican despite him claiming numerous times he's registered Democrats. Yeah, right.
Juan used to work for Black Enterprises One World and NPR. He was fired out the cannon after he made some nasty comments about Muslims being scary and the need of being profiled.
This coming from a man who believes in civil rights.
He told O'Loofus, "Look, Bill, I'm not a bigot. You know the kind of books I've written about the civil rights movement in this country. But when I get on the plane, I got to tell you, if I see people who are in Muslim garb and I think, you know, they are identifying themselves first and foremost as Muslims, I get worried. I get nervous."
He most infamous comments were the comparison of First Lady Michelle Obama to Black Panther Stokey Carmichael.
"Michelle Obama, you know, she's got this Stokely Carmichael in a designer dress thing going. If she starts talking...her instinct is to start with this blame America, you know, I'm the victim. If that stuff starts coming out, people will go bananas and she'll go from being the new Jackie O to being something of an albatross".
It's the type of stuff that makes him an extremist in my book. No matter what he says, he's looked upon as a Black conservative masquerading as a liberal analysis.
Deneen Borelli is a commentator on Loserville and spokesperson for the some of the nation's insurgency organizations.
Borelli is a best known for writing Blacklash: How Obama and the Left are Driving Americans to the Government Plantation, a political critique that criticizes progressivism, crony capitalism, and elitism under the Obama administration.
She calls herself the Black version of Ann Coulter. And she has proven to be that type of person.
Anything and if not everything she finds some reason to claim the Obamas maxing out the "race card" and pushing the "poverty pimp" mannerism. She has no real arguments to why she hates Obama. When asked about it, she often inserts a slanderous remark about him.
When the president went on a podcast to describe the narratives of the Charleston massacre he utter NIGGER to the host. He painted the thoughts of a terrorist reaction towards peaceful parishioners.
She got all upset and slammed the president as the "rapper in chief" and blasted hip-hop music.
She is quick to call the president and First Lady Michelle Obama a bunch of elitists is quite funny.
She also thrown her two cents into the controversy in McKinney, Texas.
Pamela Meanes represented the American Bar Association. She appeared on that annoying conservative agitator's show. The woman was passionate about the issue where that young teen girl was slammed to ground by a McKinney police officer and it was filmed. Borelli went on to attack the woman and called the teen and her friends agitators of mob violence.
Meanes couldn't have a minute without this obnoxious Borelli popping off with slanderous accusations of her and Rev. Perm in the first sentence.
Don't she makes a 6 figure salary running with the Koch Brothers?
CJ Pearson is a teenage conservative activist who gain fame by defending Rudy Giuliani's comments about President Barack Obama "not loving" America.
This little nerd got praise from the righties. He made that video and post it on YouTube. It went viral.
Pearson is an advocate for the insurgency. Being at such a young age, one can't help but wonder does he actually have a normal life?
Pearson seems to be isolated from his fellow schoolmates. He probably believes his fellow schoolmates are indoctrinated by liberal school teachers.
This year, he made the news for calling Rev. Perm (aka Al Sharpton) a "rotten piece of flesh". He attacked the BlackLivesMatter movement. And says that the president isn't American enough because he won't say radical Islam.
He's also pissed that he got sacked from the social media website Facebook. Since he's only 12 years old, he's not age appropriate. So Facebook banned him for the time being. According to the rules, you have to be at least 14 years old to be on Facebook.
In order for him to gain celebrity he would create this fan page. But Facebook found out about it through those "evil" liberal trolls. So once again he was banned.
Now he's pissed about it. And he vows to expose Facebook for its liberal propaganda.
This is by far the youngest extremist to ever be mentioned on World News Today.
C.L. Bryant is a former NAACP leader who found his calling being a Black conservative extremist.
Bryant has a vendetta against the NAACP. He wrote the book "Runaway Slave: Run From Tyranny to Liberty" and it became a film. It was promoted by the extremists.
The film follows Rev. C.L. Bryant as he travels across the United States and speaks with members of the African-American community, various conservative leaders, and different public faces about the belief that the African-American community is immersed in a welfare state and prevented from being successful on their own.
Andrew Breitfart, Glenn Beck, Herman "999" Cain and Allen West are among the notable figures featured in the film who offer their insight and opinion into the topic.
Using leading black conservatives as "conductors," Rev. Bryant believes it is time for a new Underground Railroad to help liberate all Americans from the Government plantation that has left the black community dealing with a new form of slavery: entitlements.
Bryant is a birther also. He questions the president's Blackness. Right Wing Watch reports that the Black agitator asserted that "Rev. Perm would have been a more legitimate first black president than Barack Hussein Obama" because the agitator Rev. Perm "has a slave history."
"When you look at Barack Hussein Obama, whose father was Kenyan, his mother is white," Bryant said, "he does not have that history to tell about how he overcame. ... See, black people are so emotionally attached to the color of skin that sometimes we will accept the fact that well, he's black. Not in the sense that you're talking about."
C.L. Bryant is claiming Black folks are enslaved by the "Democrat" Party.
Seriously, when will you wake this moron up and remind him that "We Black Folk" been free. He the only one who still hanging by the chains.
Stacey Dash is an actress, model and commentator. Back in the day she was the attractive Dionne Davenport in the movie and television series Clueless. She had gigs on television and movies.
Now, Stacey is a right wing agitator who co-host the Loseville program Outnumbered.
What happened?
Well back in 2012, she became a huge fan of perennial loser Mitt Romney and running mate Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) during their ill-fated run for the White House. She publicly went to the social media to endorse the Republican.
Though she was a Democrat and voted for Barack Obama in the 2008 US presidential election, Dash endorsed Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney via her Twitter account on October 7, 2012. Other Twitter users responded with criticism, racial epithets and calls for her to commit suicide.
Vice-presidential candidate Paul Ryan personally telephoned her. During their conversation, Ryan thanked Dash for supporting the Romney–Ryan ticket, and "told her she was brave".
She also went forth to criticize her former friends Jay-Z and Beyonce for endorse Barack Obama.
Dash was pissed that Jay and Bey went to Cuba for their vacation. She would ask her fans on Twitter if they "care that The Jay-Zs have taken the capital you have given them and funded a communist oppressive regime?
She also aimed at Kanye West and Kim Kardashian, two annoying celebrities in their own right.
Kanye was upset over the media negatively covering him and his family. He made an epic vent on toru.
Stacey Dash let loose on Kanye's rant. She was a bit more strongly than the rest of the panel. “For Kanye to say ‘rape,’ maybe he needs to spend some time on Rikers Island, go to Rikers for a while, and then he’ll know what rape is.” She then defended the paparazzi as “just doing their job.”
Later in the discussion, Dash had some advice for West. “If you’re nice, if you’re polite to them, they leave you alone,” she said. “It’s when you start to call them names and act crazy and put your hands up and do all this drama that they make it a big deal.”
Dash lives up to the title of Clueless.
David Webb is a talk radio agitator on SiriusXM. On the SiriusXM's Patriot, Webb hosts a nightly show that covers issues in America from a Black conservative prospective. He is a veteran of talk radio syndicate and is a notorious ambulance chaser.
He gave that annoying conservative agitator his talking point during the 2012 presidential elections.
That annoying conservative agitator used this tired line to criticize the president's economic policies.
Webb called Obama's policies a revised version of Jimmy Carter's legacy. He gave that annoying agitator the talking points: "Would you rather live on food stamps and poverty than growth and prosperity?"
He was in Raleigh during the Moral Mondays protest rallies. He got pissed off after a preacher called insurgent Black senator Tim Scott (R-SC) a ventriloquist dummy. Webb was there to cause some trouble.
Reverend William Barber became the racist right's new whipping boy once his opinion made it to the social networks. Barber was targeted as being another Jeremiah Wright.
Who's the one who started that notion?
Take a guess!
On numerous occasions, Webb would do ambush journalism. He would confront people with dumb questions about how they remarked on conservatives . He singles out Black leaders and college professors who question conservative policies or lawmakers.
A sure fire way to generate attention.
Herman Cain is a perennial candidate who ran for president. He was a former business executive. He is a talk radio agitator and commentator.
What can I say about "Mr. 999" aka Shucky Ducky!
He has the smooth voice of a Black man but the thoughts of a radical.
Cain wanted to be the "real Black Man" in the White House but yet his political foes managed to get the best of him. When he ran for the top spot, he was a second-tier candidate. He eventually would become the anti-Romney candidate. The Republicans were upset over the field. The field was weak and they had a candidate who was they knew was a sure loser. So they bottom down the deck and found Cain.
Cain was a riding high. He managed to upset Rick "Oops" Perry in a political poll and took the front runner status. When he gained front runner status, the political operatives took him down.
Numerous allegations of sexual harassment and cheating on his wife doomed his chances. Instead of admitting his infidelity, he would bow out quickly. He would blame the president for his failure.
Cain often reflects on his failed bid for president. When Neal Boortz retired from the agitator radio, Cain decided to take up the morning post. Cain was a nightly radio host on Cox Media's WSB-AM
He quit the radio gig to jump into the clown car.
Cain touts about his success as a businessman for Godfather's Pizza and Burger King.
He also told the junk food media that Obama's policies aren't helping the middle class nor the Black community.
He had a plan. The 9-9-9 plan which is a trademark was supposed to bring tax reform on all levels. The plan would call for the changing current taxes (including the payroll tax, capital gains tax, and the estate tax) with 9% business transaction tax, 9% personal income tax, and a 9% federal sales tax.
Republicans love the idea. Most of the public though it as a joke. It was especially funny given that Cain's days as a pizza company CEO made the 9-9-9 plan look like a menu item.
Kevin Jackson is a conservative agitator, activist and writer. He is the founder of TheBlacksphere a blog that focuses on ending "identity" politics and exposing the race hustlas and poverty pimps in America.
He came to fame after speaking "the truth" about Blacks and Democrats at The National Press Club.
Jackson focuses on the president and two civil rights leaders who often grab the cameras.
This nobody appears on many AM agitator programs to make the baseless claims about President Barack Obama and the Black community.
His biggest complaint is the junk food media riling up Black folks in regards to the shooting of unarmed suspects. Especially the ones who are Black.
He appears on Loudmouth Bill Cunningham and that annoying conservative agitator's radio programs to vent off about how Attorney General Eric Holder's passionate speech about race in America.
Jackson being the bomb thrower bemoans about how Holder's remarks are the reason of racial unrest in the wake of the Ferguson riots and recent Baltimore riots.
Jackson complains about society being ran by “women who look like men, act worse than men, and who have essentially sacrificed their womanhood at the alter [sic] of ‘achievement.’”
In case it’s not clear, he’s really not a fan of the women’s movement: “There is a war against beautiful women, and it’s being waged by the Women’s Movement, ironically….Let’s face it, the women who rise through the ranks in Leftist politics look like dudes. In fact, if you put high-ranking female political Plutopians against their “male” counterparts, it would be the CHICKS WITH…well…CUPS, and I’m not talking bras. ….Women on the Left secretly wish to build a society of powerful ugly women…to match how they feel (and are) inside. A beautiful Liberal woman (not that I’ve ever seen one) might as well be fitted for knee pads and given Bill Clinton’s ‘How to Pleasure a President While On Your Knees Under a Desk” manual and a box of Cuban cigars.’
Claims that President Obama has "failed to unite blacks and whites at all, and in fact has taken America back into the 1860′s except now whites are enslaved to blacks."
According to Right Wing Watch, Jackson was a participant in anti-immigrant group that is deemed an extremist organization.
Recently Jackson appears on that annoying conservative agitator's program to slam DeRay McKesson for being a "race pimp".
Ever since his attack on McKesson, Jackson has been the go to guy for all things anti-Black from a Black man's prospective.
Allen West is a former U.S. Representative from Florida. He is a commentator and talk radio agitator.
West was a perennial loser in the previous elections, but somehow the 2010 election became his golden ticket. West a former Army lieutenant colonial who was deployed to Kuwait in 1991 and Iraq in 2003. In 2003, West was charged in an incident that involved the beating and simulated execution of an Iraqi police officer. After an Article 32 hearing was held, West accepted Non-judicial punishment, was fined $5,000, and allowed to retire as a lieutenant colonel.
After leaving the military, he and his family moved to Florida where he taught at a high school for a year and worked for a defense contractor, part of his time spent in Afghanistan as a civilian adviser to the Afghan National Army. He entered politics in 2008 as the nominee for Florida's 22nd congressional district in 2008, losing to Democratic incumbent Ron Klein. In a re-match in 2010, he won the seat, coinciding with significant Republican gains in the 2010 midterm elections.
West took office in January 2011 as the first African-American Republican Congressman from Florida since Josiah T. Walls left office in 1876 near the end of Reconstruction.
In Congress, West served on the Armed Services and Small Business Committees and was a high-profile member of the Tea Party Caucus and the Tea Party movement.
West would lost to Patrick Murphy in a hotly contested congressional race.
West's defeat came at the price of the 2012 U.S. Presidential Elections. West would blame perennial loser Mitt Romney for not putting up a fight against President Barack Obama.
It's been over a few years since his one term as a lawmaker, West decided that making money off profit rage would be more beneficial.
West is a frequent internet troll. He trolls Obama everywhere he goes. And West often has an opinion about it.
James David Manning is a pastor from the ATLAH Worldwide Church in Harlem, New York. He is an internet celebrity who gain fame by complaining about President Barack Obama being a "long legged mack daddy". He is a birther.
Gained fame in 2008 during his rant tour. He joined the ATLAH in 1981 and has been reawaken to the social ills of Black America. The word ATLAH stands for All The Land Anointed Holy, which is Manning's name for Harlem.
Manning's congregation, "ATLAH Worldwide Missionary Church" is the former Bethelite Missionary Baptist Church. The church is also the site of the ATLAH Theological Seminary, which offers classes on preaching and prophecy.
Through the ATLAH church, Manning hosts an online series called The Manning Report, which features criticism on such topics as the negative influence of black celebrities, homosexuality and the alleged criminal acts of President Barack Obama. Extremist Orly Taitz (previously a dentist and vexatious lawyer) joined Manning in a protest to "arrest Obama".
He complains about the birth certificate being forged. He claims that the president had numerous affairs with men and women. He slanders First Lady Michelle Obama as a lesbo.
For one thing he's also the most crooked religious leader to ever exist. He is an ex-con who reformed his life and saw the power of Black Jesus.
When he saw Jesus, Manning saw profits. He built ATLAH Worldwide and decided to share his thoughts on Black America, the gay community and illegal immigrants. He took aim at everyone and anything.
This backwards George Jefferson is moving on down to Harlem. He's been an active protester of the gentrification of Harlem. He believes that Blacks need to get the heck out of Harlem so the developers can wipe away the ungodly nonsense.
Jesse Lee Peterson is a talk radio agitator who is the founding member of BOND. By far he's the most controversial Black agitator to exist.
He's the guy who appears on the AM agitator programs to denounce Black America for being immoral, accusing the Black community engaging in victimhood and attack single parents as government leeches.
This ridiculous man refuses to acknowledge the legitimacy of President Barack Obama, Jesse Lee Peterson is an agitator who appears frequently on cable news programs degrading the Black community.
This man has the nerve to call Black people racists and delusional.
I've said before, are their any Blacks in this man's organization?
His organization the Brotherhood Of A New Destiny has no noted members being black. But yet he considers himself as a civil rights leader.
He thinks liberal women are sluts and single parents as welfare grabbing degenerates.
He believe the President of The United States, Barack Obama is a person who blames White people!
He concludes that Whites who who voted for Barack Obama shouldn't feel guilty if they turn out in droves to reject him and his "socialist" policies.
I swear that this human excrement can become pain inducing at times. But like most people, when you mention the name Jesse Lee Peterson, some would say "Who is this guy?"
Thank you America. Thank you for not giving this extremist the air time. He's not worth it.
Let him ramble on those low power AM dials. Goddamn racial extremist.
David Clarke is the current sheriff of Milwaukee County, Wisconsin. Clarke is rising star in the conservative movement. He often complains about how "the media" slanders police officers in the wake of the Michael Brown shooting.
A lifelong member of the NRA, Clarke plays this role of a "no nonsense cop" according to the righties. He's one good NIGGER.
Clarke appeared as one of the many invited guest to Congress. He and a few numerous others came to Washington to bitch talking points in opposition of Loretta Lynch, a potential replacement for Attorney General of the United States.
Clarke claims he's a Democrat but really he's a Republican who ran as a Democrat. He's good friends with a certain AM agitator who I often mention on this blog.
That annoying conservative agitator pulls this card right out his deck of black extremists.
Clarke is an embarrassment to the state of Wisconsin. He is often criticized for showboating.
Clarke comes on when the tragic shootings occurred recently. The shootings of news agitators and a Texas deputy were a de jour of blame for the showboating cop.
He often runs his mouth in areas where he shouldn't.
Matter of fact, there's a federal investigation into Milwaukee County sheriff's department. A woman is pressing charges against Clarke and four other deputies for police brutality.
Accused of a cover-up, Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke and four of his deputies are named as co-defendants in a federal civil rights lawsuit -- and it all started with an investigation that garnered national attention. A sober driver was arrested for drunk driving in February of 2013 -- and she's still fighting back.
When a Sheriff's deputy T-boned her car last year, Tanya Weyker suffered more than a broken neck. She suffered the indignity of a false arrest for driving while intoxicated.
Clarke in his usual fashion defended his officer's bad behavior by blaming Tanya for the incident and her anti-police rhetoric.
Clarke is a tin horn.
The people of Wisconsin think of Clarke as a joke and I certainly agree with them.
Let's not forget the rest of the bunch. I don't have enough time to waste on these extremists.
We also include Larry Elder, E.W. Jackson, Erik Rush, Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC), Peggy Hubbard, Clarence Thomas, Louisiana state senator Elbert Guillory, Star Parker, Armstrong Williams, Artur Davis, Thomas Sowell, Walter Williams and Ken Blackwell.
I have to put time into calling out these Black extremists.
Donald Trump is right about politicians. They're just too stupid to understand. But only in regards to being in the media offering nothing but talk and not action. GOP Sundays is often a place where Senators John McCain (R-AZ) and Lindsey Graham (R-SC) hang their hats at. But of course, we can't forget the two Democrats who seem to be in cameras too much. They offer nothing but the same bullshit that McCain and Graham serve up.
Two Democrats who often are featured on GOP Sundays are Senators Dick Durbin (R-IL) and Chuck Schumer (R-NY). They often have a counter balance to Republican opposition. But one decides to break from the norm. Schumer decided to go rogue. It's pissed off President Barack Obama and the anti-war left. Some are calling for a primary challenge to throw him out.
Well today, we can say that Chuck Schumer is siding with the Republicans on the Six Power talks.
Schumer will join Tom Cotton (R-AR), John Cornyn (R-TX) and the rest of the Republicans in opposing the Iranian nuclear deal.
What makes me angry is that these politicos are so fucked stupid. They actually believe that the people of Iran care about the United States. Yeah, there some who want this country to fall, but that's the very same folks who sound like conservatives in the junk food media.
Iranians live their lives in peace. The fear mongering of Republicans and their honorary member Chuck Schumer are willing to point missiles at 78 million people.
Benjamin Netanyahu got the nation souring on the deal. They believe that if they can say so much shit, people would question the deal.
The world approves of the deal. That means Britain, France, Russia, China, Germany and the rest of the world is watching how this deal is being worked out. Regardless the United States leads this and they fear that if Republicans and spineless Democrats sink the deal, it paves the way for a nuclear armed Iran. Of course, it could bring the United States into another costly war.
Like those who chant death to America, you have agitators on the radio demanding the president fails. That old fart caught flack for saying that he wants Obama to fail. No different than those extremists who want the ax to fall on America and Israel. It's just words, not actions. I would ignore that shit.
Iran has a right to defend itself from any attack from any foreign nation. Israel is going to throw us into a proxy war with Iran.
Schumer's opposition makes me sick. He is in the pocket of the AIPAC lobbyist who are pushing for more sanctions.
So today, I will make this clear! If we elect Democrats who support war, demand them to send their children, grand children and great grand children to the battlefields. Fuck that I would demand that the Congress would head to areas where them innocent victims are brutalized by our weapons.
Fuck Chuck Schumer.
I don't care what this clown says, he done the people wrong. Just because he a coward for change.
Young man was gutted by the law because he was a victim of circumstance.
In South Carolina, a family demands answers to why their son was gutted by the NARC.
Zachary Hammond was a 19-year old teen who lived in the Greenville, South Carolina area. He was killed after the law claimed he and his accomplice peeled out towards an officer.
The family calls this bullshit. Zack had no criminal history.
Zack's death was the state's 29th cop-involved shooting in 2015, SLED said, and at this rate South Carolina will reach 50 shootings by the end of the year.
Zack may have picked up a hoe and took her to a dope spot in the area. As she was grabbing the narcotics, the law surprised them. Hammond thinking it was a set up tried to peel out.
The NARC decided to plug holes in him. He got two to the chest and one to the head. He would die on the scene.
What the Seneca police chief is saying is that the teen should never had flee. Hey, when you're surprised by a man with a gun, what do you do? I would get the heck out of here!
Family says that Zack had no criminal history. He just got caught up in situation.
I mean I understand two things. Yeah, picking up prostitutes is an arrestable offense. But who's to say that he picked up a hoe? That could have been one of his friends or girlfriend.
I understand that marijuana is a petty offense. I mean it's not like they're purchasing much more serious drugs such as cocaine and heroin.
Police Chief John Covington, the officer “fired two shots in self-defense” as Zachary “drove his vehicle directly at the officer” in the back parking lot of Hardee’s restaurant on U.S. 123.
The State Law Enforcement Division is investigating the shooting, and the officer has been placed on administrative leave, as is standard procedure for such an incident, Covington said.
Tori Martin led Zack to a sting operation.
Covington said Tuesday that the car was turning toward the officer and he was in its path. The officer fired through the driver’s side window to keep the car from hitting him as it approached from an angle, the chief said.
“The car was still coming at him,” he said.
Paul Hammond said he thinks his son was just trying to get away.
“I’m sure he was trying to flee the scene, but I think he was shot for fleeing the scene,” he said. “I don’t think you use excessive force for somebody in a Honda Civic that they thought he had pot.”
An autopsy performed Tuesday showed two gunshot wounds to the upper left torso -- one to the chest and one to the collarbone-shoulder area, according to Oconee County Coroner Karl Addis. He died from the chest wound, Addis said.
“We are obviously grieving the loss of our son,” Zach’s mother Angie Hammond said. “This is a most difficult time and the facts as we have been told and (were) reported are in conflict.
“We are conducting our own investigation as to the circumstances of this tragic and unnecessary death.”
Tori Morton, 23, the other passenger in Hammond's car, was uninjured. She was charged with simple marijuana possession and released Monday.
Meanwhile, the unidentified officer has been placed on administrative leave, and the city and officer have both hired attorneys, WHNS reports.
My question is where is the dash camera or body camera footage of this shooting?
Of course 35% of Americans believe the law lies. I agree fully with this notion that the law will do everything to cover up a criminal act committed by their own.
World News Today send our condolences to the family of Zachary Hammond.
This picture of a Black lawman helping a White extremist went viral.
We haven't forgotten about that White terrorist who killed nine innocent church goers in Charleston.
The shooter is alive and will face trial next year. While he's sitting in the lockup next to the ex-cop who killed Walter Scott, pressure came to the South Carolina's governor to remove a symbol that terrorist used in his social media postings.
Well Republican governor Nikki Haley caved to pressure and had the flag lowered finally.
Now a group of extremists weren't none to happy about it. They vowed to pressure the next Republican governor to raise that flag once again above the state grounds of the state capitol.
Bur they were met by another group of extremists. These extremist claim they stand for the same of the original, but their rhetoric is considered no different.
The Klan and the New Black Panthers clashed in Columbia. The law was prepared for potential riots.
One picture that seemed to circulate around the web. A Black South Carolina state trooper assist a White extremists.
Once the flag went down, the junk food media left. But the impact is still there.
This is a contentious debate over that damn flag. It's the flag of the losing side. I don't understand why anyone would support the losing side.
The Confederate Flag doesn't represent Southern heritage. It represents an insurgency devoted to keeping Blacks as livestock. It represents the opposition.
I know that the junk food media is hauling ass to Chattanooga to cover the next mass shooting.
Matter of fact, have you hear any more about it?
No.
Do you know the victims of this mass shooting?
No.
I want to let you know that mass shootings are becoming a daily occurrence.
I am tired of them. I mean when will Congress do something about this stuff.
World News Today send our condolences to those lost in gun violence. The recent tragedies show the need for reasonable gun control.
City leaders have formally closed streets near the state capitol.
There will be a heavy presence of law enforcement to prevent potential rioting.
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), presidential candidate along with Republican Gov. Nikki Haley, Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC), Rep. Jim Clyburn (D-SC), Rep. Mark Sanford (R-SC) and Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC) will be there for the final lowering of the Confederate flag.
This is a part of not only South Carolina's state history it's going to be a part of American history.
State lawmakers passed a resolution. This resolution calls for the removal of the Confederate flag in the wake of the White terrorist killing nine innocent church goers. One being state senator Clementa Pickney.
Haley immediately signed this into law.
Now at 10 am, the people of South Carolina see the flag lowered and placed in a museum for Confederate soldiers.
Looks like another victory in the battle for progress.
South Carolina lawmakers passed a bill that will take the Confederate flag off the state capitol grounds and have placed in a historical museum. Republican governor Nikki Haley is likely to sign it.
The flag coming down will certainly piss off the racist right. They believe that the flag represents Southern pride and heritage. Bullshit.
The flag represents a losing side of history. The AP reports that state lawmakers overwhelmingly passed this. There were some Republican and Democratic lawmakers who voted against lowering the flag.
The push that would bring down the Confederate flag for good only started after nine black churchgoers, including state Sen. Clementa Pinckney, were gunned down during Bible study at the historic Emanuel African Episcopal Church in Charleston on June 17. Police said the white gunman's motivation was racial hatred. Then three days later, photos surfaced of the suspect, Dylann Roof, holding Confederate flags.
"I am 44 years old. I never thought I'd see this moment. I stand with people who never thought they would see this as well," said House Minority Leader Todd Rutherford, who called the victims martyrs. "It's emotional for us not just because it came down, but why it came down."
Nikki Haley, South Carolina governor.
Republican Rep. Rick Quinn, whose amendment appeared it might at least delay the flag's removal for several hours, was happy too after getting a promise that lawmakers would find money for a special display at the Relic Room for the Confederate flag that was about to be removed as well as the one that flew over the Statehouse dome in 2000 when a compromise was passed to move the rebel banner to its current location.
"It was done in a way that was a win to everyone," said Quinn, who voted for the bill.
The back-to-back votes came around 1 a.m. Thursday after more than 13 hours of passionate and contentious debate.
As House members deliberated well into the night, there were tears of anger and shared memories of Civil War ancestors. Black Democrats, frustrated at being asked to show grace to Civil War soldiers as the debate wore on, warned the state was embarrassing itself.
Changing the Senate bill could have meant it taking weeks or even months to remove the flag, perhaps blunting momentum that has grown since the church massacre.
Republican Rep. Jenny Horne reminded her colleagues she was a descendent of Confederate President Jefferson Davis, and scolded fellow members of her party for stalling the debate with dozens of amendments.
She cried as she remembered Pinckney's funeral and his widow, who was hiding with one of their daughters in a church office as the gunman fired dozens of shots.
"For the widow of Sen. Pinckney and his two young daughters, that would be adding insult to injury and I will not be a part of it!" she screamed into a microphone.
She said later during a break she didn't intend to speak but got frustrated with fellow Republicans.
Opponents of removing the flag talked about grandparents who passed down family treasures and lamented that the flag had been "hijacked" or "abducted" by racists.
Rep. Mike Pitts, who remembered playing with a Confederate ancestor's cavalry sword while growing up, said for him the flag is a reminder of how dirt-poor Southern farmers fought Yankees not because they hated blacks or supported slavery, but because their land was being invaded.
Those soldiers should be respected just as soldiers who fought in the Middle East or Afghanistan, he said, recalling his own military service. Pitts then turned to a lawmaker he called a dear friend, recalling how his black colleague nearly died in Vietnam.
Black lawmakers told their own stories of ancestors. Rep. Joe Neal talked about tracing his family back to four brothers, brought to America in chains to be bought by a slave owner named Neal who changed their last names and pulled them apart from their families.
"The whole world is asking, is South Carolina really going to change, or will it hold to an ugly tradition of prejudice and discrimination and hide behind heritage as an excuse for it," Neal said.
Other Democrats suggested any delay would let Ku Klux Klan members planning a rally July 18 a chance to dance around the Confederate flag.
Instead, Democrats were using a line Gov. Haley often says, calling it "a great day in South Carolina."
The governor issued her own statement. "It is a new day in South Carolina, a day we can all be proud of, a day that truly brings us all together as we continue to heal, as one people and on," she said.
The Confederate Flag continues to fly at NASCAR. Fans are ignoring the racing organization's request to not fly the flag.
The country's largest racing organization asked fans to not bring the flag to NASCAR sponsored races. The Confederate flag supporters look at it as a "ban" and they're defying it.
So as fans travel to Daytona Beach, FL to see the action, the controversy ensues. Some of the fans are taking a stand by saying to the junk food media and NASCAR, "FUCK YOU, WE'RE FLYING OUR FLAG!"
The AP reports about NASCAR taken a stance on the Confederate flag after last month's South Carolina church massacre. It backed Gov. Nikki Haley's call to remove it from the Statehouse grounds and noted it doesn't allow the flag on anything it sanctions. The series stopped short of banning fans from displaying the flag at its events, but Daytona and 29 other tracks asked fans to refrain from flying them.
Not everyone obliged. Daytona also offered to exchange Confederate flags for American flags this weekend, and track officials said a few made the swap Sunday morning.
"I think the voluntary exchange program for us right now was appropriate with the limited window that we had coming into this event weekend," track president Joie Chitwood said. "And more importantly, I think it's important to trust our fans, asking our fans to display a flag that we should all be proud of. Everybody should be proud of the American flag."
Indeed, the American flag is prominently displayed all around Daytona — no surprise given the Fourth of July holiday and the patriotism that NASCAR routinely promotes.
But spotting a Confederate flag is easier than finding a souvenir shop, restroom or beer stand.
NASCAR, which has roots in the deep South, moved quickly to distance itself from the flag despite some backlash from fans. The sanctioning body could have done — and eventually might do — more.
The South rocked by possible arson at predominately Black churches.
First things first, we start of the month of July with the report of the Klan making a trip to Columbia, South Carolina to protest the proposal to remove the Confederate flag from the state capitol grounds.
Then there was a disturbance in which a man instigated a riot near the capitol grounds. The man was a supporter of the Confederate flag and he deliberately drove through to taunt the Black protesters.
That situation managed to attract the conservative Craigslist attention. After all, what could spook White folks more than a man being pummeled by a bunch of Black people.
Conservatives would find #BLACKLIVESMATTER hashtag merged with #RACIALMOBVIOLENCE
Then we have unexplained Black church burns in the South.
Macon, Memphis, Tallahassee, Warrenville, S.C. , Knoxville, and Charlotte were the scene where possible burns may have been the works of White extremists.
The FBI and state authorities are trying to connect the dots. Could this have been a hate crime?
Since that White terrorist killed nine innocent victims at Emmanuel AME Church, the calls for gun control and the removal of the Confederate flag have gotten louder.
Cue the conservative outrage, a Black woman climbed up a pole and cut down the Confederate flag around the South Carolina capitol grounds.
Bree Newsome, a resident of Charlotte. NC traveled to Columbia to make a point. She wants the world to know that that flag represents the racism that led to the killings of nine in Charleston.
She wanted the world to know that Freddie Gray's life matters. She wanted to let protesters know that she's not afraid of what the media says about her. She did it to make the world know that she's not afraid to stand up for something.
Newsome was charged today for defacing a state monument on Capitol grounds. Authorities said that she climbed the 30 foot tall pole and unhooked the flag, ignoring the orders of officers who arrived when she was halfway up the pole.
This misdemeanor carries a hefty fine of $5,000 with a trip to the iron college for up to three years. If they find her guilty, she may face both. Her and James Ian Tyson, from Charlotte were both cuffed.
There is a crowdfunding website that was set up today to raise money for her and Tyson. So far it's reached nearly $100,000 in funds. A hashtag #BreeNewsome went viral since the incident.
The Confederate battle flag which is protected by South Carolina law was raised again 45 minutes after Bree unhooked the flag.
Bree Newsome gained national recognition after climbing a pole to remove the Confederate flag.
Call for removing the flag came after a White terrorist killed nine people in Charleston's Emmanuel AME Church.
Republican governor Nikki Haley along with Sens. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), Tim Scott (R-SC), Rep. Mark Sanford (R-SC) and Rep. Jim Clyburn (D-SC) calls for the flag's removal.
President Barack Obama delivered a passionate speech yesterday telling that the world see how Americans overcome tragedies. He urged Americans to pressure Congress to pass legislation to change the narrative. Obama believes that mass murder tragedies are going to continue way pass his term.
It's up to state lawmakers to pass it.
Counter-protesters were in Columbia today to protest the removal of the Confederate flag. Some are saying that the flag isn't about hate, it's about heritage. They blame the junk food media for allowing this discussion focus on their "pride" of the South, the Confederate battle flag.
Bree Newsome and James Ian Tyson were booked in county lockup.
Legally known as Brittany Newsome, Bree graduated from high school being active in her community. She was involved in student government and served as student body president.
Many believe her actions could inspire millions and that's why activist DeRay McKesson has called for his followers to aid her throughout her journey.
Protest is confrontation. Protest is disruption. Protest is the end of silence. It is not the solution, it creates space for the solution.
