Out of control Racist madness
A fighter for Women
DISSENT AND OUT OF CONTROL COPS !
I am not a spring chicken but let's put age aside for a second and ask the question of ourselves..Why are we allowing this kind of shit to happen. I read a few diaries tonight but got really really mad upon reading JPMasser's and a couple of others like the racists in Arizona.
I am not afraid to stand toe to toe with anybody but here lately my BP and pulse is pushing my boundaries. I am having all kinds of problems with the VA and I know there is partisan politics going on with the tea party activists influencing, and then I pick up Charlie Grapski to go to a doctor's appointment and Charlie is not doing well at all.
I drive and not through yet hundreds of miles to doctor appointments for both Charlie and my vet for both to get put off for treatment or in vet's case, meds cancelled, even stomach meds, appointments put off and in Charlie's case, a civilian doc...would not work him in over a 15 minute late appointment after getting there hundreds of miles away. His passport has been taken He had no drivers license and basically NO LIFE.
His words, not mine. I saw a broken man who has been tazed, beaten, locked up and fights the status quo of corruption. I am NOW in person arguing over VA treatment because I won't settle for the staus quo.
The Dream Defenders are standing in Tallahassee, 10,000 in North Carolina and the racists, the cops, the right wingers, the Kesslers, the tea party is bullying every single one of us while even though I admire Tom Harkin, why didn't he name the Exotic President senator namecaller out? WHY !!!!!
I am tired of this crap. I am tired of a lot of things but this thing right here made me the maddest early this AM. We are ACTIVISTS. Why are we not activating for an end of this brutality? A 95 year old Veteran gets shot in a nursing facility by cops? Really and we are not in the streets?
A kid gets shot by a taser to death and we are not in the streets?
It cannot be left to old activists like (sorry,) OPOL, or Meteor Blades, Grapski or me or others who have fought for a very long time and then just report the outrage and I include myself on this ....and walk away .....NO...it is past time to stand up so does getting all that bad stuff typed up on DK makes us feel better but the abuse continues?
I am open.. What the hell has to happen to make people do more than send petitions to people who take our names, laugh and go on to overlooking another abuse?
My goodness, we have allowed pepperspraying of 84 year old women who peacefully protest, shooting dead unarmed teens, occupied until the powers that be intimidated or either locked up so many, we have veterans on backlog and now openly being run around the mulberry bush till they die waiting on treatment. We have firefighters widows being denied benefits and we have a massive all out Jim Crow going down all over and legislators calling the President of the US exotic, a liar, a half breed Muslim, while the cops are cavity body searching women on open highways for throwing out cigarette butts !!! WAKE THE Hell UP !!!
They started with stealing our homes and even have banks breaking into wrong homes and stealing people's belongings. Does your kid in a hoodie have to die? Does a small child sitting in a classroom have to be mowed down like garbage to make you realize things are out of control? Does the militarized cops have to taze you or your great grandpaw to make you realize that this shit has to stop? What will it take? I am not
advocating revolution or any kind of violence.. Just the opposite.. i want it to stop !!!
I do not believe we can vote this stuff out because the supreme court took away a large portion of the voting rights !!! I do think we have to push back. I think pushing back on the media is a damn good start for not reporting these outrages and having some sort of national strike against all this stuff but I want to know why this is being allowed !!!!
I am sure open to ideas... Are you? I know I am ranting but dammit ..this cannot continue. People have bled and died for freedom to dissent and every single day including the NSA crap is taking away more and more and more. Is it that people are not involved locally or are afraid or are just hiding somewhere with a blanket on their head. It is probably just a matter of time before I am beaten or tazed because I will argue with anyone on some of this stuff. I did Sunday with a loud mouth winger calling the president a N ...er. Come on....People have no respect for anything and other people just turn their heads. Until....their family or friends heads get cracked open.
Tell me activists...what is the answer? What are we doing in the name of justice, or stopping police brutality? Why aren't we all in jail? Trust me I have asked this of myself twenty times tonight. My answer was I am tired.. I am old but that is a crock and I am more afraid of the stress than the cop. So how about you? Why is this happening? This is not fearmongering.. This is reality. How did we get here ..Why is there not a think tank to come up with answers, why are we feeling so powerless?
Just as true as 71 !!! What a shame...
