Detroit 300 Taking a Stand after Nine-Month-Old Murdered
MyFoxDetroit ^ | Feb 22, 2012 | Amy Lange

DETROIT (WJBK) -- "These babies have been accosted and victimized on our watch, so as men it's demanded upon us to stand up," said Raphael Johnson, president of Detroit 300.

An impassioned plea from the men of the Detroit 300 imploring the men of Detroit to take action in the wake of so many children being murdered.

"Where are the uncles, the cousins, the fathers, the brothers of these victims, these babies? Where are you at and what are you doing? Why [are] you not out marching in the street?" Johnson said. "If it applies to you, you need to get off the couch. If it applies to you, you need to put that weed down and stop being so high. If it applies to you, you need to put the beer down, the liquor and the alcohol, and take your rightful place in our community."

This as the family of nine-month-old Delric Miller works on his obituary and designs t-shirts to remember the little boy killed as he slept at his home on Greenview on Detroit's west side Monday morning. Before dawn, a gunman opened fire. Nearly 40 bullets pierced the walls. One of them hit little Delric.

"I wanted to do something to help the family in this hard time right now," said Clayton Carter with Can You Picture This?

So, he is selling t-shirts to help pay for the funeral. Everyone wants to help.

Detroit Police are working with state and federal agencies to catch the killer, some coward from some gang, the very people the men of the Detroit 300 say they're coming after.

"We don't need a search warrant. We don't need any probable cause. All we need is for you to commit a felony and we [are] coming to get you period," said Johnson.

The beauty of the Detroit 300, they say, is that they understand the code on the streets. They understand that people don't want to snitch to police, but they want people to talk to them. There's a hotline. It's 313-826-8662.

The Detroit 300 also says they're going to be deploying hundreds of men to area hot spots once a week and they're coming after the folks who are on the wrong side of the law.

If you would like to join the Detroit 300, call 313-826-2040 or visit www.TheDetroit300.org.

"Also- in the picture posted earlier- who wears a MASK to an news conference? (the person on the left side)"

And this again ...from the biggest Instigator FARRAKHAN.... on Drudge

FARRAKHAN WARNS RACE HATE PUTS OBAMA LIFE IN DANGER

Almost looks like they’re setting up ‘something’ to blame on ‘someone’.
Either for a mart**** or just plain ‘served’ the purpose.

IMHO

IMO kudos to the 'Detroit 300'. The Detroit Police couldn't help if they wanted to since the city is broke and the PD force has been slashed beyond the bone. So someone has to step up and be the 'Town Marshal'.

And like back in the 'Wild West', the best Town Marshals were those who knew how the 'outlaws' acted as they too were outlaws -- or strode the line of good & bad in their past. Like Wyatt Earp with Doc Holiday, or James Butler Hickok aka: 'Wild Bill': Lawman and Gunfighter. So these 300 Detroit men are perfect as they're from 'the street' and know it better than any cop.

That aside, if a hypothetical group of 300 White folks organized to fight gang crime on their own they'd be called Vigilantes, Domestic Terrorists, and the KKK. And Eric 'My people' Holder would have the FBI all over them like flies on poop, with a man hunt not seen since John Dillinger was on the loose.

Not to mention the conniption fits the MSM would be having. Chrissy Matthews would have spit flying out of his mouth with each word. Hell he could even have a cardiac right there on live tv.

And then, when any of the hypothetical 'White 300' were arrested Terrorist Charges would be filed plus a laundry list of other 'civil rights' charges. They'd be facing 'Life Plus' in a Federal Super-Max Prison when convicted (and convicted they'd be, take that to the bank).

But alas, the way society is disintegrating at Light Speed, we all may be forced to do the same as the 'Detroit 300' in the near future. Then let the chips fall where they may and the 'G' can take its best shot at those protecting their families 'outside the law'.

Diversity doesn’t strengthen a population, it divides. That was the point of Babel.


I am a little slow this morning, don’t disagree with the first sentence but having a hard time linking it to Babel......... please explain.

Big talk from the code-talkers. Unless they have the courage to admit that this is a cultural problem, rather than a legal problem, nothing is going to change. Tell your daughters to marry the father of their children and tell your sons to marry the mother of their child. That might be a good place to start, among others. We live in the greatest country in the world and for some of us, it seems, there is a constant struggle just to stay civilized. It’s to the point where this nonsense is so tiring, it’s not even worth the effort to listen anymore, let alone care...


Eloquent summation...you are exactly right. As with obama’s pedigree..no one is willing to address the issue, so why should we care anymore..unfortunately, we are getting just what we deserve.

and a cutout for Shabazz

A.k.a. Malik Zulu Shabazz? That Shabazz?

Got to see him on CSPAN in the 90's a young turk Anti-Semite under the wing of Minster Farrakan...

If so not good...

Or is it the Minister from "Detwaa" with the same name?

If so that one is a New Black Panther Radical...http://www2.metrotimes.com/editorial/story.asp?id=7648

Hmmm.....

[ Anyone ever take a closer look at the cities with black mayors and/or leaders? These cities all seem to just deteriorate before your eyes and then people wonder why. That’s not racist, that’s fact. ]

It is not their race, it is the Radical Liberal “Race based Social justice” mantra that destroys these cities.

No, that was not the point of Babel, the point of Babel was that men decided they would ignore God’s command to fill the whole earth. Instead, they decided to populate in one place and remain together, building a tower that would reach up to heaven.

Hear, hear. Let’s hope that the 300 become 3000, then 30,000, then 300,000.

We need to encourage these men who are making a stand.

We lived on the east side on Wayburn during the 70’s and 80’s. My dad was PD, stationed at the former 9th Precinct. Growing up, our neighborhood and those surrounding it were lovely - and inhabited predominantly by city workers. Unfortunately, the ghetto slowly breathed down our backs and Dad moved the family out before retiring (that was when the city still had residency requirements).

I’m long gone from Michigan but still consider it home. Detroit and the hell hole it has become saddens me.

I’ve heard him speak and it ain’t any too good. If it’s just his idea of getting in on the ‘action’ then maybe that’s all he’s got which is even worse but it’s something and something is better than nothing.

I'm talking about the act of dispersion itself.

Anyway, with due respect, I've said all I'm going to say regarding the topic of this thread, since, quite frankly, I don't like the way it makes me feel and I'd rather just be done with it.
