Moral relativism in all its glory. Served nearly six years for killing a policeman, now free as a bird and invited to speak at black history event while his victim rots in the ground. Words fail.
The guy served 6 years for murdering a cop. He has served his time.----- Sarcasm.------
And if anybody doesn't like it....
your a racist.
You are
Kenneth Stokes is the one who "needs killin"
"A Controversy is Brewing in Jackson Ms: City Councilman Ken Stokes Invites Cop Killer to Speak"
That was YOUR headline
This is the headline from WLBT 3, the website you refer to:
"A Controversy is Brewing in Jackson"
This is the headline from the cLARION-LEDGER, a website linked to in reply #3:
"Man convicted for role in '71 officer killing asked to speak"
Some quotes from the Clarion - Ledger article:
"Along with Obadele, six others were convicted for their involvement. Obadele spent more than five years in prison for conspiracy and other charges."
"Obadele wasn't charged with murder. He was found guilty of conspiracy, assaulting a federal officer and using a weapon in a felony."
"This man was not even at the house when the shootout was taking place," Stokes said.
Your Post is a shining example of why the rules say don't alter headlines.
I don't doubt that that this guy Obadele is a really bad actor, but your alteration of the headlines to incite your wanted reaction is no less repugnant and puts you in the same class of people as Stokes.
This is exactly the kind of thing that gives the opposition legitimate ammunition to use against FR. If you were a stand up guy, you would, at the very least, have the Admin Mod change the headline to what was written, but what you really ought to do is ask to have the whole thread pulled and start all over.
Give me a break. It's people like you who are destroying the free speech aspect of this site. Go proof read your local paper or something.
TAW
The Jackson city council is the governmental equivalent of the Jerry Springer show, I'm sad to say.
MM
The people of this town should take notice of who attends when this man comes to speak.
Well, I guess making stuff up, or at the very least, grossly mischaracterizing it, is free speech now days. Is it that way at DU?
We here try to pride ourselves on accurately representing the subject to be discussed.
This about sums up what I try in vain to explain to the social liberal do-gooders on this forum about my hometown and what it's like at the ground zero of race relations.
It ain't Cosby.
Ya'll are all racists and I'm tellin!
ROTFL
Are your through now?
Depends...
