Decide For Yourselves

This statement was spoken publicly just earlier this year: “God is very straightforward about this — not we Muslims, not subjective, the Sharia is very clear about it, the punishment for homosexuality, bestiality or anything like that is death. We don’t make any excuses about that, it’s not our law — it’s the Koran.”   Muslim cleric, Sheikh Khalid Yasin Source:  Jihad Watch This meeting was held just a few months ago this year.... A news agency noticed that a large mosque in Florida is bringing in a well known Muslim cleric today who not only preaches death to homosexuals, but claims killing them is actually behaving compassionately to them. Watch the news report  here .  According to the Gateway Pundit, threats of an attack on Florida was made three (3) days prior to the shooting in Orlando.  Read HERE  Now Early Sunday Morning,  June 12,2006 Mass shooting in a well known gay club in Orlando, Florida:   Clic...

Make Them Pay For Their Own Actions!

Image
NO! I don't agree that parents should be the one to pay for their children's mistakes!   That's what's wrong with these kids now.  Somebody else is always taking responsibility for THEIR mistakes and poor choices!  Somebody else is ALWAYS to blame for little deQuan or little Johnny's idiotic behavior!  Somebody else is ALWAYS the fall guy when little Shaniqua or Barbara Ann get knocked up.  How about we STOP blaming the parents?  How about we STOP blaming everyone and their proverbial brother and sister?   How about we STOP giving these little law breaking brats every excuse to do whatever right here and right now?  How about instead we  Make these children...  FACE REALITY TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEMSELVES AND THEIR ACTIONS MAKE THEM  PAY FOR THEIR OWN MISTAKES How about we do all the above  as oppose to what we've been doing?   How about we allow the children who break rules and/or laws to face ...

"There's not enough for teenagers to do," said Taylor Click HERE to View Video and Read Transcript  Violence stems from boredom....HOW UNORIGINAL! So you're Bored?  Nothing to do?    And your solution is to wreak havoc?   That's how you resolve your boredom?  By beating up people?  Robbing them?  Destroying property? Maybe you'd be less bored if you were forced to cleaned the streets, make repairs on the buildings and homes you broke into or vandalized.   Maybe you'd be less bored if you were made to work for the people you robbed until you've paid them back f...

Long time Radio and TV Personality Speaks Out and Up On Recent Flash Mob Violence In Louisville, Kentucky

Image
This is not a post about race by Terry Meiners March 26, 2014 This is not a post about race. It is a post about a community’s inherent mission, the protection of its law-abiding citizens from predators. The Great Wall of China is not a decoration. That wall, forts, castles, and foxholes were created for protection from predators. People who live in a community do so with the understanding that they will protect each other – or pay taxes to afford efficient protection – from those who would burst the order of the community. When a person or persons within the community breach that pact, they are sent to another sturdy construction called a prison so that they cannot continue preying upon their community. GHOST TOWN ON THE RIVER In the 1970s, Louisville’s growth was stunted by the derisive term Strike City, a label earned from repeated union strikes at various companies. The River City Mall killed 4th Street businesses when the pedestrian mall led to more assaults. Thugs had...

Honor Jennifer Martel: Protect Victims of Abuse

Image
27-year-old Jennifer Martel was a caring mom to a little girl. Working her way through college, Jennifer hoped to become an elementary school teacher. Jennifer's boyfriend had a long history of criminal activity, including domestic violence, yet was released on his own recognizance after smashing Jennifer's head into a mirror Tuesday, Aug. 13.  Just two nights later, he was found covered in blood after stabbing Jennifer to death in the presence of their four-year-old daughter and neighbors. While Massachusetts is at the forefront of the war against domestic violence, the recent murder of Jennifer Martel highlights a gaping flaw in the current system. Under M.G.L. 276 sec. 58A, offenders can be released on their own recognizance, without any bail set, within 24 hours of an assault. An emergency restraining ordered was issued against Jennifer's assailant, but since Jennifer did not appear in court the day after she was attacked, her assailant was released witho...

Domestic Violence: It's EVERYBODY'S Business!

Image
Domestic Violence does not discriminate against age, race, color, creed, gender or sexual orientation. The U. S. Office on Violence Against Women (OVW) defines domestic violence as a "pattern of abusive behavior in any relationship that is used by one partner to gain or maintain power and control over another intimate partner" .  The definition adds that domestic violence "can happen to anyone regardless of race, age, sexual orientation, religion, or gender", and that it can take many forms, including physical abuse, sexual abuse, emotional, economic, and psychological abuse Our society, both here in the United States and world-wide, have been conditioned to think and believe that domestic violence only means women and children.   But the sad fact is, it also includes boys and men. “When we ignore male victims of domestic abuse, we also ignore their children, who continue to be damaged by witnessing the violence regardless of how severe it is. We cannot br...

Domestic Violence: Taking It Like A Man -- The Untold Story

Image
Domestic Violence.   It's Everybody's Business! But how many turn a deaf ear and a blind eye to it?  Sadly too many to count. While the majority of such violence reported involved  women and children, an alarming number of men who are victims go unreported ...  even ignored. "... activists for “men’s rights” have suggested that policy-oriented efforts for women have been misplaced, because they focus entirely on women as the victims of domestic violence .  “men are the victims of domestic violence at least as often as women” (Brott, 1994). " [emphasis added] ( http://new.vawnet.org/Assoc_Files_VAWnet/GenderSymmetry.pdf ) *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* And we are not just talking about gay men in this regard.   Hetero-sexual men fall prey to domestic abuse as well.  You don't hear about it very often -- if at all .   Pride and shame prevent many of these men from coming forward.  Shame of not bein...
