We Demand Justice For Michael Brown!

Caption this: A group of unarmed protesters versus police officers in riot gear. What's wrong with this picture?

It's amazing that those 17 protesters were arrested for just disobeying. Yet, Darren Wilson is still a free man after plugging six in the body of unarmed teen Michael Brown. 

Don't get me wrong, the protesters are showing the world what democracy looks like.

The Associated Press reports that protesters were arrested during weekend protests, St. Louis police said Sunday, and more demonstrations were planned over the shooting of 18-year-old Michael Brown in Ferguson this summer.

Organizers of the four-day Ferguson October summit are protesting the shooting of the black man by a white policeman, which sparked sometimes violent demonstrations in the predominantly black St. Louis suburb of Ferguson in August.

Early Sunday morning, several protesters made their way to the south St. Louis neighborhood where another black 18-year-old was killed by a white police officer recently. Protesters occupied a Quicktrip gas station convenience store and staged a sit-in.

St. Louis Police Chief Sam Dotson posted on Twitter that protesters were "attempting to storm" the business. He later posted that protesters were "throwing rocks at the police."

St. Louis police spokeswoman Schron Jackson said Sunday in an email that 17 people were arrested on suspicion of unlawful assembly. There were no reports of injuries or property damage, the email said.

On Monday, a "direct action" led by local and visiting clergy members is planned for Ferguson and other spots in and around St. Louis. Protest leaders don't plan to release details until shortly ahead of time to avoid tipping off law enforcement. Leaders are taking their cues from the Moral Monday demonstrations that began last year in North Carolina before spreading to several other Southern states.

Outside Busch Stadium in downtown St. Louis, where the Cardinals were playing the San Francisco Giants this weekend in the National League Championship Series of professional baseball, several dozen protesters stood on the sidewalk Saturday night, chanting and holding signs. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported that fans headed to the game mainly went around the protesters without stopping to look, though a few cheered their efforts. Game 2 in the series is scheduled for Sunday night.

The planned events began Friday afternoon with a march outside the St. Louis County prosecutor's office, where protesters renewed calls for prosecutor Bob McCulloch to charge Darren Wilson, a white Ferguson officer, in the Aug. 9 death of Brown. A grand jury is reviewing the case and the Justice Department has opened a civil rights investigation.

Since Brown's death, three other fatal police shootings of black males have occurred in the St. Louis area. The most recent involved an off-duty St. Louis officer who was working for a private neighborhood security patrol when he shot and killed 18-year-old Vonderrit D. Myers on Wednesday night.

The white officer, whose name hasn't been released, fired 17 rounds after police say Myers opened fire. Myers' parents say he was unarmed, and many speakers at the Saturday rally echoed those doubts.

Conservative Outrage Over Wendy Davis Ad Targeting Greg Abbott!

The very same assholes who called Texas state lawmaker and Democratic gubernatorial candidate Wendy Davis "ABORTION BARBIE" are getting pissy over the fact she went for the wheelchair.

Attorney General Greg Abbott is the insurgent candidate for governor. He is leading in the polls.

What makes this it so funny, its the irony of political campaigns. Those very same assholes never shy from calling President Barack Obama a "NIGGER". Those assholes have very strong hatred of Hillary Clinton, Nancy Pelosi, First Lady Michelle Obama, and Debbie Wasserman Schultz.

Davis rose to fame after giving a passionate speech about giving women a choice when it comes to making a life altering decision. She thought that political fire could help motivate Democrats to unseat a longtime Republican hold on the state.

The political ad has given fire to Abbott's disability.

What you didn't know about the two. Davis is a polarizing woman. She is already under attack by the racist right for her "lies" about being a part of the struggle.

What you didn't know about Abbott is the very fact that despite him being disabled, in his mind, the disabled, the poor, the needy and the unemployed better get their asses back to work. Sure he's a supporter of the American with Disabilities Act. But he believes that those who sue on behalf of ADA are whiny liberal activists who can't use their abilities like he (a privileged Republican).

CNN reports that Davis is showing signs of desperation. Obviously!

Remember that I was reporting that the Dems might go there. Well I guess it's October and the surprise is the wheelchair.

The ad starts off with the incident that led him to being in a wheelchair and then goes after him for being an advocate for taking benefits away from the needy.

"A tree fell on Greg Abbott. He sued and got millions. Since then, he's spent his career working against other victims," a narrator says of the wheelchair-bound Abbott.

The spot is a Hail Mary from the Democratic state senator who is badly trailing in the race. Abbott led Davis 54% to 40% in a recent CBS/New York Times/YouGov poll, and there are few signs she's likely to close that gap before the November 4 election.

CNN reports that Abbott's use of a wheelchair has been featured prominently in some of his own ads -- including a biographical spot where he says he rolled up a parking garage's ramps to strengthen his arm after a tree fell on him in 1984, leaving him partially paralyzed. In another, he says, "a guy in a wheelchair can move faster than traffic on some roads in Texas" as he touts a transportation funding plan.

Abbott spokeswoman Amelia Chasse blasted the Davis ad, saying it "completely disqualifies" Davis -- hinting that it could hurt her in future campaigns, too.

"It is challenging to find language strong enough to condemn Sen. Davis' disgusting television ad, which represents a historic low for someone seeking to represent Texans," she said. "Sen. Davis' ad shows a disturbing lack of judgment from a desperate politician, and completely disqualifies her from seeking higher office in Texas."

Jungle Jitters! [NSFW]

The Golden Age of Cartoons brought families to the movie theater to see the six minute cartoon shorts from Disney, Warner Bros., MGM, Lantz and Paramount films. Unfortunately many themes of the Golden Age were considered extremely negative to today's standards.

There were some of the most offensive, racist, disturbing and yet brilliant cartoons from the days of Bob Clampett, Tex Avery, and Chuck Jones.

The mascot of Warner Bros. is Bugs Bunny. The undisputed face of American culture, Bugs and his friends ruled the movie theaters. Families would often laugh at the antics of Bugs, Daffy Duck, Porky Pig, Sylvester & Tweety and Foghorn Leghorn. 

But like all cartoons, there were some things you couldn't escape. 

Ted Turner the famed media mogul and philanthropist bought Hanna-Barbera, MGM, Fleischer Studios and started the Cartoon Network in 1992.

Now you know that Warner Bros cartoons are priceless. Even though some are often seen on Cartoon Network or its spin off channel Boomerang most of the Warner Bros. cartoons are censored. 

Of course here's the catch of most Warner Bros. cartoons from 1928 to 1959 were racist, pro-military propaganda, depicting the characters in stereotypical themes, Blackface and sometimes cursing.

This video that is featured on YouTube is called Jungle Jitters. it's officially one of the most offensive cartoons to be ever made. 

It's controversial. Be warned that even the first two minutes are extremely racist.

Jungle Jitters is a one-reel animated cartoon short subject in the Merrie Melodies series, produced in Technicolor and released to theatres on February 19, 1938 by Warner Bros. Pictures and The Vitaphone Corporation. It was produced by Leon Schlesinger and directed by Friz Freleng, with musical supervision by Carl W. Stalling and voices by Mel Blanc.

The cartoon features a number of racial stereotypes throughout the short (such as people in blackface), which prompted United Artists to withhold this cartoon from syndication in 1968, making it one of the Censored Eleven.

Off Duty Officer Shoots And Kills Teen In St. Louis!

Shooting in St. Louis sparks protests. Nearly two months since the Michael Brown shooting, another Black teen was killed by a White police officer.

The continuation of protest in the aftermath of a shooting turns to St. Louis.

An off duty officer who was moonlighting as a security officer claims that he was shot at by a teen assailant who was with two other men. He returned fire and the teen was killed. The investigation determines that the teen attacked the officer.

The family disputes that claim.

Reuters report that the young teen was shot and killed and its ringing echos of Michael Brown yet again. This is an ongoing situation. I hoping that the information provided sheds a light into how this event occurred.

The white off-duty policeman shot and killed a black teenager in St Louis on Wednesday, officers said, triggering a night of protests just miles from the site of another police shooting of another black youth in the suburb of Ferguson.

Police said the 18-year-old was armed and fired three shots while he was being chased by the officer, and they had recovered a gun at the scene.

The youth was killed almost two months to the day since sometimes violent protests erupted in Ferguson after a white police officer shot dead unarmed black 18-year-old Michael Brown.

In Wednesday's shooting, the dead man was one of three people who fled after being approached by the officer, a six-year veteran of the department who was working for a private security company, St. Louis Metropolitan Police Chief Sam Dotson said.

The officer, who was wearing his city police uniform, fired 17 shots at the teenager, police added.

A crowd of around 200 gathered at the scene in the south St. Louis neighborhood of Shaw, 11 miles (18 km) south of Ferguson. Many of the protesters marched to a major thoroughfare, partially blocking traffic and chanting "Whose streets? Our streets?" as a police helicopter hovered overhead.

Teyonna Myers, 23, told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch newspaper that she was the cousin of the suspect and that he was unarmed when he was killed.

The junk food media released the name of Vonderrit Myers Jr. We here at Journal de la Reyna send our condolences to the family of Vonderrit Myers, Jr.

"He had a sandwich in his hand, and they thought it was a gun. It's like Michael Brown all over again," she told the paper.

At one point, about a dozen people punched and kicked two occupied police vehicles, one that was marked and another that was unmarked. Demonstrators then broke the back window of a marked police vehicle.

None of the protesters, some of whom were from Ferguson, had been arrested by the early hours of Thursday, police chief Dotson told a news conference.

"I think the department showed a tremendous amount of restraint," Dotson said.

The officer, who was not hurt, has been placed on administrative leave and an investigation was under way, police said.

St Louis' historic Shaw district has a relatively low crime rate - as of September, there had been no homicides this year and just five cases of aggravated assault, according to police crime statistics.

In Ferguson, a grand jury is expected to decide next month whether to bring criminal charges against police officer Darren Wilson, who shot dead Michael Brown on Aug. 9.

Brown's death triggered weeks of sometimes violent protests, prompting the governor at one point to summon the National Guard.

Missouri authorities are drawing up contingency plans and seeking intelligence from other police departments around the country, fearing that fresh riots could erupt if a grand jury does not indict Wilson.

I Dos To Death!

Newlyweds got into a huge fight. Husband pulls the trigger on wife and then himself.

There's a tragedy in America.

A doctor and his newlywed wife are both found dead, hours after they've shared their vows.

Investigators believe George "Scott" Samson, 54, shot Kelly Samson and then himself minutes after the last guests left a reception held at their home late Saturday night. Witnesses say the couple started arguing at the reception. "They were having some domestic problems at the house," a police spokesman tells News10. "Within a short amount of time guests decided it would be best if they left. Shortly after the last guest left, that's when things went terribly wrong."

During what police say were three very brief 911 calls, Kelly Samson said her husband had beaten her and threatened to kill her, reports the Indianapolis Star. They found her body in a bedroom and her husband's body in the home's basement. Kelly Samson's 10-year-old son from a previous marriage and an elderly couple, believed to be George Samson's parents, were in the home during the shootings but were unharmed, the Telegraph reports. Samson, an anesthesiologist at a local hospital, was also registered as a federal firearms dealer, and police say he legally owned the .45-caliber handgun used in the shootings.

This is a senseless tragedy. We here at Journal de la Reyna send our condolences to the family of Kelly Samson.

George Will Got Dropped From The College Speaking Tour!

George Will needs to shut up. He's done enough for one day.

Pressure mounts against the sexist Loserville commentator George Will. He penned that article back in July practically blaming the victims of rape and sexual assault to liberalism. That article got him in so much trouble.

Some newspapers dropped him.

The colleges are not interested in his commencement speeches, his interviews and events.

Now some are calling for him to be fired from Loserville.

Media Matters for America tracks conservative agitators making misstatements got the goods on this foolish man's downfall.

Will, a Pulitzer-Prize winning writer, was scheduled to speak at the annual Elizabeth Hubert Malott Public Affairs Program at the progressive, all-female Scripps College, according to the Claremont Independent, a student news outlet for the Claremont Colleges.

The Washington Post columnist wrote in June about a sexual assault case at Swarthmore College. In the column, he appeared to reference rape survivors as "especially privileged young adults" and suggested "victimhood [is] a coveted status that confers privileges."

Will's writing quickly sparked outrage online from sexual assault survivors, and Will says his speaking engagement was yanked away due to the June column.

"It was in the works and then it wasn’t in the works," Will told the Claremont Independent. "They didn't say that the column was the reason, but it was the reason."

Scripps, which is part of the Claremont Colleges consortium, holds the Malott speaking program to invite guests with whom the campus community may largely disagree with. Past speakers include conservative columnists Charles Krauthammer and Peggy Noonan.

Will had also questioned the validity of sexual assault statistics, like many conservative pundits have done, without taking into account the underreporting of rape. He defended his column in an interview with C-SPAN stating, "When dubious statistics become the basis of dubious and dangerous abandonment of due process, it’s my job to step in and say, 'Everyone take a deep breath.'"

Representatives for Scripps College were not immediately available to comment.
