Michael Brown Was Unarmed!

The shooting of  Michael Brown has the junk food media already picking sides.

Major controversy happening over in the suburban town of Ferguson near St. Louis. The racial makeup of the city was 29.3% White, 67.4% African American, 0.4% Native American, 0.5% Asian, 0.4% from other races, and 2.0% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 1.2% of the population.

The shooting of an unarmed Black male has touched the nerves of residents in the St. Louis region.

I bet you money that the racist right will already label the teen a criminal before they know the facts.

I bet you that the white liberals will sympathize with the Black community while secretly rooting for more causalities in communities that are not theirs.

Two known agitators of racial outrage are cable news titans. Each of these agitators have thrown their objective opinions in this situation. Each getting lambasted by the arm chair warriors tired of them always jumping head first into a racial situation.

Ferguson Police have a big issue on them. They killed a teen who was unarmed. The residents are pissed and the outcome will drive Rev. Perm and that annoying conservative agitator back into the limelight.

After all what's a good story without those two stirring up racial agitation.

18-year-old Michael Brown was a gentle giant according to his family.
These two are part of the racist right's attempt to label unarmed teen Michael Brown a criminal. Every racial event brings that annoying ass conservative agitator and some right wing Black extremist  This guy next to that annoying conservative agitator is C.L. Bryant, a Black extremist.
As usual, this afternoon I've listened to that annoying conservative agitator (who helped Obama win). This agitator brought on Black dickhead C.L. Bryant to discuss the situation. They lay out the tracks of finger pointing at President Barack Obama, Rev. Perm and Cut His Nuts Off Jackson.

Of course, Rev. Perm is getting involved in this situation. He's already got the plate full with the situations with police brutality events with NYPD, Beavercreek police and now Ferguson police.

According to the Ferguson Police Department, there are no dashboard cameras in Ferguson police cars.

St. Louis County Police Chief Jon Belmar reported that a scuffle began when a Ferguson police officer encountered two men on the street.

Reports describe the event as starting after 2:00 p.m. with an initial scuffle within the police car where a shot was fired, and then officers shot Brown multiple times from about 35 feet away as he was fleeing.

Brown's mother, Lesley McSpadden, reported that her son was shot eight times.
Rev. Perm and attorney Benjamin Crump. Crump represented the family of Trayvon Martin in the highly polarized trial of that asshole who was a neighborhood watch captain.
St. Louis County Police Department is in charge of the investigation, and the St. Louis County branch of the civil rights group NAACP said they would request an FBI investigation. The U.S. Justice Department said Attorney General Eric Holder had instructed staff to monitor developments.

The family announced that Benjamin Crump, the lawyer for the Trayvon Martin case, would represent the family.

Local pastors held a vigil on the morning of Sunday, August 10.

Another vigil was planned on the same day, at 8:00 p.m. in the area where Brown was killed.

                       

The day of vigils began peacefully, but some crowd members started to behave in an unruly manner after the candlelight vigil. Local police stations assembled approximately 150 officers in riot gear.

The crowd then began looting businesses, vandalizing vehicles and confronting police who sought to block off access to several areas of the city.

At least 12 businesses were looted or vandalized and police arrested over 30 people afterwards. The people arrested face charges of assault, burglary and theft. Two police officers suffered minor injuries during the events.

The following day a riot broke out at the Saint Louis Galleria shopping mall in Richmond Heights prompting stores to lock up and shoppers to be evacuated from the mall.

The racist right has already made its bed on racial riots. The racist right already has made it point to make every event in Black America an attack on President Barack Obama.




I just want to chime in on the narrative of the racist right.

I do not condone violence in the wake of violence. But seriously, you notice that whenever White people riot in the aftermath of sporting events where they loot and destroy property, this doesn't get play on the racist right websites.

Police Shooting-Missouri
Vigils were being held for Michael Brown. Some knotheads ended rioting and looting after police tried to disperse crowds.
Only time you hear about rioting and looting whenever Blacks or Latinos upset over an injustice by law enforcement. See what happened in the Rodney King incident. The Oscar Grant incident. The Trayvon Martin incident.

Whenever these racial agitators go right into the news about rioting by people of color, expect the Republican Party and the insurgency to use this a ploy for winning elections. They want the White people to be so upset with Obama, they'll turn out in droves to vote Democrats out.

See in Black America, a gun crime is play for regulations on our rights. Gun control is common among White liberals against Black and Latinos.










Gun rights is solely for White men. Whenever a mass shooting happens in America by a White man. The racist right will automatically assume this person is a Democrat or Obama supporter. They will throw this "bad guy with a gun, good guy with a gun" nonsense.

They didn't understand that a "good guy" with a gun was killed by two White extremists in Las Vegas.

They don't see that gun crimes are more prevalent in suburbia.

But only in Black America, the racist right believes that "US BLACK FOLK" will kill every cop in America.

This is an ongoing situation. We here at Journal de la Reyna send our condolences to the family of Michael Brown. We will follow this event.


BREAKING: Robin Williams Passes Away!



Today marks another devastating day in the entertainment industry. The famed comedian and actor Robin Williams passed away today at the age of 63.

He battled depression and it took its toll. He committed suicide. The Marin County, California coroner's office suggested the cause of death to be suicide by asphyxiation, though it is still under investigation.

Rising to fame with his role as the alien Mork in the TV series Mork & Mindy (1978-1982), Williams went on to establish a successful career in both stand-up comedy and feature film acting. His film career included such acclaimed films as Good Morning, Vietnam (1987), Dead Poets Society (1989), Awakenings (1990), The Fisher King (1991), and Good Will Hunting (1997), as well as financial successes such as Popeye (1980), Hook (1991), Aladdin (1992), Mrs. Doubtfire (1993), Jumanji (1995), The Birdcage (1996), Night at the Museum (2006), and Happy Feet (2006). He also appeared in the video to "Don't Worry, Be Happy" by Bobby McFerrin.
The world lost a legend.
Nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actor three times, Williams went on to receive the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his performance in Good Will Hunting (1997). He also received two Emmy Awards, four Golden Globes, two Screen Actors Guild Awards and five Grammy Awards.

Williams starred in the CBS sitcom The Crazy Ones this year. That show didn't make the 2014 - 2015 season even though it was critically acclaimed.

The junk food media went to tribute outpouring and wondering a world without a famous face.

I am truly sadden by this event. We here at Journal de la Reyna send our condolences to the family of Robin Williams.

Obama: The GOP Continues To Build Themselves Around Stupidity!

On camera it's friendly. But these two really can't stand each other.


If I was the President Of The United States and I gotten the treatment from those of the opposing party, I would gladly tell them to draw them "a penis and stick it up their ass".

I don't tolerate being the president of millions of Americans and my opposition constantly attacking me and not offering anything to better the nation.

I am not the first Black president. I may be the next one if the party nominates me and the American people vote for me. But as of today, I am just another arm chair warrior. A warrior who complains just like those who attack President Barack Obama.

Thomas Friedman gets the president to lay out his frustration against his opposition. The New York Times gets the opportunity to let president vent off.

The president lays the track on Iraq, Russia, Israel, the Republican Party, the outcome of this year's midterm and his legacy.

The Republicans will certainly take offense to the criticism. After all, they wasted no time going after the president when he authorized an airstrike against the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS).

He labeled the Republicans and the insurgency a bunch of extremists.

“If you look at the Democratic consensus, it’s a pretty common-sense mainstream consensus. It’s not a lot of wacky ideological nonsense.”

White Majority On The Decline In Schools!

American institutions are getting browner.

May 2012 marked the beginning of an end for a majority population.

As of today, this August marks the beginning of the school season for 2014 - 2015.

It seems like White students are no longer a majority in all schools. Que the outrage from our conservative agitating friends of the American junk food media.

The far right websites are going bananas over the latest revelation.

The Associated Press reports that a cheerful sign outside Jane Cornell's summer school classroom in Pennsylvania's wealthiest county says "Welcome" and "Bienvenidos" in polished handwriting.

Inside, giggling grade-schoolers who mostly come from homes where Spanish is the primary language worked on storytelling with a tale about a crocodile going to the dentist. The children and their classroom at the Mary D. Lang Kindergarten Center, near both mushroom farms and the borough's bucolic red-brick downtown, are a subtle reminder of America's changing school demographics.

For the first time ever, U.S. public schools are projected this fall to have more minority students than non-Hispanic whites enrolled, a shift largely fueled by growth in the number of Hispanic children.

Non-Hispanic white students are still expected to be the largest racial group in the public schools this year at 49.8 percent. But the National Center for Education Statistics says minority students, when added together, will now make up the majority.

About one-quarter of the minority students are Hispanic, 15 percent are black and 5 percent are Asian and Pacific Islanders. Biracial students and Native Americans make up a smaller share of the minority student population.

Education Secretary Arne Duncan called the changing population a seminal moment in education. "We can't talk about other people's children. These are our children," he said.

The shift creates new academic realities, such as the need for more English language instruction, and cultural ones, meaning changes in school lunch menus to reflect students' tastes.

But it also brings some complex societal questions that often fall to school systems to address, including issues of immigration, poverty, diversity and inequity.

The result, at times, is racial and ethnic tension.

In Louisiana in July, Jefferson Parish public school administrators reached an agreement with the federal government to end an investigation into discrimination against English language learners.

In May, police had to be called to a school in the Streamwood, Illinois, a Chicago suburb, to help break up a fight between Hispanic and black students after a racially based lunchroom brawl got out of control.

Issues of race and ethnicity in school can also be more subtle.

In the Kennett Consolidated School District, Superintendent Barry Tomasetti described parents who opt to send their kids to private schools across the border in Delaware after touring diverse classrooms. Other families, he said, seek out the district's diverse schools "because they realize it's not a homogenous world out there."
Your children could grow up to be an agitator like this guy.
The changes in the district, about an hour southwest outside of Philadelphia, from mostly middle-to-upper class white to about 40 percent Hispanic was driven partly by workers migrating from Mexico and elsewhere to work the mushroom farms.

"We like our diversity," Tomasetti said, even as he acknowledged the cost. He has had to hire English language instructors and translators for parent-teacher conferences. He has cobbled together money to provide summer school for many young English language learners who need extra reading and math support.

"Our expectation is all of our kids succeed," he said.

Private schools nationally are changing as well, seeing a smaller number of white students and a greater number of Hispanic students in their decreasing pool of children.

The new majority-minority status of America's schools mirrors a change that is coming for the nation as a whole. The Census Bureau estimates that the country's population will have more minorities than whites for the first time in 2043, a change due in part to higher birth rates among Hispanics and a stagnating or declining birth rate among blacks, whites and Asians.

Today, slightly more than 1 in 5 kids speaks a language other than English at home.

But even as the population becomes more diverse, schools are becoming more racially segregated, reflecting U.S. housing patterns.

The disparities are evident even in the youngest of black, Hispanic and Native American children, who on average enter kindergarten academically behind their white and Asian peers. They are more likely to attend failing schools and face harsher school discipline.

Later, they have lower standardized test scores, on average, fewer opportunities to take advanced classes and are less likely to graduate.

Duncan said the disparities are unacceptable, and the country needs to make sure all students "have an opportunity to have a world class education, to do extraordinarily well."

As the school-age population has become more nonwhite, it's also become poorer, said Patricia Gandara, co-director of the Civil Rights Project at UCLA who serves on President Barack Obama's advisory Commission on Educational Excellence for Hispanics.

Roughly one-quarter of Hispanics and African-Americans live below the poverty line - meaning a family of four has nearly $24,000 in annual income - and some of the poorest of Hispanic children are dealing with the instability of being in the country illegally or with a parent who is, Gandara said.
Diversity is coming.
Focusing on teacher preparation and stronger curriculum is "not going to get us anywhere unless we pay attention to the really basic needs of these children, things like nutrition and health and safety, and the instability of the homes," she said.

This transformation in school goes beyond just educating the children. Educators said parents must feel comfortable and accepted in schools, too.

Lisa Mack, president of the Ohio PTA, encourages local leaders to include grandparents and replace events such as a sock hop with one with a Motown theme that might be more inclusive or to provide opportunities for people of different ethnic groups to bring food to share at monthly meetings.

"I think one thing that's critical is that schools and PTAs and everyone just need to understand that with changing demographics, you can't do things the way you've done them before," she said. "That you have to be creative in reaching out and making them feel welcomed and valued and supported in the school system."

Some schools are seeking teachers to help reflect the demographics of their student population.

Today, fewer than 1 in 5 of the public schools teachers is a minority. "It is an ongoing challenge to try and make our teacher population reflect our student population," said Steve Saunders, spokesman for the Adams County, Colorado, school district outside Denver that has seen a large shift toward having Hispanic students.

The New America Foundation, in a recent report, suggested teacher prep programs have at least one class for teachers on working with non-native English speakers and that education programs embrace bilingualism.

Andrea Giunta, a senior policy analyst at the National Education Association who focuses on teacher recruiting, retention and diversity, said you can't assume that teachers are a good match just because of their background.

"Just because you speak Spanish doesn't mean you speak the same Spanish your students are speaking and communicating with," she said.

This comes as the NEA, the nation's largest union, just elected an all-minority leadership team in July. The new president, Lily Eskelsen Garcia, is Latina, and the vice president and secretary-treasurer, Rebecca S. Pringle and Princess Moss, are black.

In Kennett Square, superintendent Tomasetti said Hispanic students in his district are performing at levels, on average, higher than their peers statewide. One recent graduate, Christian Cordova-Pedroza, is attending Harvard University this fall. Cordova-Pedroza is one of five children of a mushroom farmer from Mexico.

Cordova-Pedroza credited the motivation instilled by his parents combined with access to a variety of educational opportunities for his success, including an after-school program that included tutoring and help with college applications. He also was active in a Latino leadership club that helps provides translation services in the community and participated in summer programs at Penn State and Princeton.

"Certainly, I had to work hard to get there, but I feel like at every opportunity that I had a chance of participating in or doing that, I was always like, `Yes, I want to do that,'" he said.

Nearby, at El Nayarit Mexico Grocery Store, owner Jaime Sandoval, a native of Mexico with six kids, said he's been pleased with the education his children have received. His 9-year-old daughter, he said, wants to be a teacher.

"She loves to read and all that stuff," Sandoval said. "She always has good grades on English and she loves it much."

Gun Rights For Whites! Gun Control For Blacks, Latinos And Muslims!

Mom may get 20 in the iron college for legally having a firearm in a state that bans them.

In the Philadelphia area, a single mother may be facing time in the iron college in New Jersey after a routine patrol stop by an officer. It's obvious that the law abiding mother has her driver's license. She also acknowledged to the law that she was packing the heat.

This mother of two is a concealed carry owner. She owned heat. She had to protect herself after a few robberies happened in her North Philly in her home.

When she was pulled over in New Jersey, the encounter by the law has Shaneen Allen seeking help from the gun lobby. See in Pennsylvania, she has a license to carry a firearm. But in New Jersey, its not recognized.

Now she may get up to 20 in the iron college for this and it seems like she has no way to get out of this.

Most White conservative males are obsessed with firearms and kill in the name of a religion, politics, or unjustifiable events. When you see Blacks, Hispanics/Latinos, or even Muslims with firearms, you see the very same people scream at the top their lungs about how it's our faults for most of America's crime.

They want control over us, but never control over them!

It's why we can't pass reasonable gun control laws.

Stick To Being Washed Up, Victoria Jackson!

Nutbag tried to run for politics and lost.


The insurgency's maven of comedy wanted to win a Republican primary in the good ole state of Tennessee.

Damn shame, those Tennessee folk hate Hollywood coming to their backwoods.

Victoria Jackson, who calls herself a proud member of the insurgency, moved to Thompson's Station last year and said she filed as an independent to run for the Williamson County Commission because she's "very disappointed with the Republican Party."

The Tennessean reports Jackson received 632 votes. Two others received more votes: Judy Lynch Herbert with 1,422 and Betsy Hester with 1,380. The County Commission has two commissioners in each of its 12 districts.

Jackson had made appearances at multiple political events in Middle Tennessee since making her home there.

So I guess that ukulele string broke during her campaign stomp.

She represent the many extremists in the insurgency determined to undermine the president.

She had the audacity to call him a racial slur. She's long past her time. Her baby voice is highly annoying.

Victoria Jackson should be added on the blog Washed Up Celebrities. After all, what has she done that's talented.

Family Cries Foul In Officer Involved Shooting At An Ohio Walmart!

Beavercreek officers fired on a man with a pellet gun. According to family, John Crawford II wasn't a criminal.

Local junk food media is covering the shooting at a Walmart in Dayton. The controversy surrounding the even involved a 22-year old man who was spotted with a firearm. A 911 caller tips the police and of course they respond. The police ordered the man to drop his firearm. He refused. They shoot and kill. The questions come forth.

Two Beavercreek, Ohio officers are on paid administrative leave. The two officers were involved in a shooting of a man who was carrying a gun. It turns out that the suspect John Crawford II was holding a pellet gun.

The family of Crawford is demanding answers to how this happened.

A 911 caller Ronald Ritchie followed Crawford around Walmart and stated that the suspect was walking through the store with a firearm.

Crawford's girlfriend and mother of his children challenge the Ritchie's claims. Crawford's girlfriend claims that he was on the phone with the mother of his children when all this jumped off. She lost sight of him after a few minutes. He was known to joke around while in a public place.

The police order the man to drop his firearm. He refused. They ended up shooting him twice. The man was pronounced dead at the scene.

The other victim was a panicked customer. The customer was Angie Williams of Fairborn, Ohio. The mother of four was engaged. Her marriage was this month.

This situation is a reminder to the gun rights advocates. The open carry nonsense doesn't float in Walmart nor in any establishment with a large amount of people.

See if a Black person is seen with a firearm in the store, they call 911. They don't care if the Black man is walking around with a concealed license or even an attempt to purchase, trade or show off a weapon. It's 911 and at least five officers with their service weapon drawn.

If a White person is seen with a firearm in the store. I guess they wait until he actually fires on the people before they call 911. Obviously they say that's their right to bear arms.

In my honest opinion, Crawford should have not even goofed around in the store. I have no actual opinion of what happened. All I can say is the tape will determine what happen.

The FBI and Ohio Bureau of Investigation will determine if the law did the right thing. Walmart will probably focus on their pellet rifles. They will lock them up likely and warn customers not to open packages while in their stores.

This is an ongoing story, we will continue to follow the developments. We here at Journal de la Reyna send our condolences to those lost in this senseless tragedy.

Theodore Wafer Found Guilty In The Death Of Renisha McBride!

Theodore Wafer was found guilty in the death of Michigan woman.

Last year a Michigan man was being charged with murder of a young woman. Ted Wafer of Dearborn Heights claimed that the victim was belligerent and acted like she was going to do something. He would shoot her in the face and leave her lifeless body on the porch for 20 minutes.

He was found guilty in the second degree murder of 19-year old Renisha McBride. Wafer faces a maximum possible sentence of life imprisonment for the second-degree murder charge and 15 years for manslaughter, and an additional two years for the felony gun charge.

The trial began on June 2014. Wafer was found guilty of all three charges on August 7, 2014

A jury in Detroit found Theodore Wafer guilty of second-degree murder and manslaughter in the death of Renisha McBride Thursday, according to the Associated Press.

Wafer, 55, was on trial in Detroit's Wayne County Circuit Court after shooting 19-year-old McBride on his porch in November. McBride appeared at Wafer's house in Dearborn Heights, adjacent to Detroit, around 4:30 a.m. on Nov. 2. She crashed her car nearby earlier that night, and no one knows her whereabout in the several hours between the accident and her death. She was severely intoxicated. She knocked on Wafer's door, potentially looking for help; he came to the door with a loaded shotgun and shot her in the face.

One of the first images the jury saw in the trial was of McBride, lying lifeless on Wafer's front porch.

Wafer pleaded not guilty and his attorney sought to show the shooting was in self defense. According to the defense, Wafer woke that night to loud, intense banging on his front door and side door and feared multiple people were breaking in.

"In the depth of his being, he's never been that scared in his life," defense attorney Cheryl Carpenter said.

She cast doubt on the thoroughness of the crime scene investigation and questioned why officials didn't examine what may have been a footprint on top of an air conditioner in Wafer's backyard.

The prosecution painted a different picture, of a man who "wanted a confrontation" and a vulnerable woman who needed help and wanted to go home, and ended up dead for it. Wafer had other options, they argued, and pulling the trigger was "negligent" and "reckless."

The prosecution wondered why Wafer wouldn't call 911 if he was so scared; Wafer said he had looked for his cell phone when he woke up, but couldn't find it.

Wafer shot McBride through his locked screen door, which was partially removed when police arrived at the crime scene. An expert witness testified he thought it came out when McBride banged on the door, while the prosecution said it happened after Wafer fired.
Renisha McBride actions didn't merit to her being shot at point blank range in the head.
He testified during the trial, telling the court he shot McBride to defend himself. When he first spoke to police, he said the shooting was an accident.

"I wasn’t going to cower in my house, I didn’t want to be a victim,” he said during testimony. He also expressed remorse over McBride's death.

Though race was rarely mentioned in the trial, the tragic death of a young, unarmed black woman in need of help has put Theodore Wafer (who is white) under the spotlight in a line of high-profile cases with black victims. Less than two months before McBride died, former Florida A&M University football player Jonathan Ferrell got in a car accident in Charlotte, N.C. and went to a nearby home seeking help. The woman called police, and when they arrived, Officer Randall Kerrick shot Ferrell, who was unarmed, 10 times. Kerrick was indicted in January. Though the cases have many differences, McBride is also often compared to Trayvon Martin, the unarmed Florida teen who was shot to death by a neighborhood watchman in 2012. Shooter George Zimmerman was acquitted last year.

"It’s not about Renisha, it’s about what her actions and other persons’ actions did to make Ted in fear for his life that night,” Carpenter said in her opening statement. “You always need to go back and look at this through Ted’s eyes.”

Wafer faces a maximum sentence of life in the iron college for the second-degree murder charge. The involuntary manslaughter charge carries a 15-year maximum. There is also a mandatory two-year penalty for being in possession of a firearm while committing a felony. Wafer is scheduled to be sentenced Aug. 21.

“We are obviously very pleased with the jury verdict and feel that justice was served today, Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy said in a statement. "We sincerely hope that this brings some comfort to the family of Renisha McBride.“
