Certain members of BLM related to this?

http://news.investors.com/blogs-capital-hill/052015-753642-ferguson-protesters-complain-about-not-getting-paid.htm

Would shed a whole lot of light on why many in BLM were blindsided by the antics on Saturday and do not support them.

Link to more info and some names:

An angry protestor #cutthecheck posted donor & protestors names list 4 months ago when she still hadn't gotten paid.



Here's the twitter feed referenced:

Question so I can make a better avatar/icon

What is O'Malley's campaign slogan? I can incorporate that with the sig line/avatar.

O'Malley Icon

I shrunk it some, but please feel free to use, and if you want to change the size, I can.



I'm trying to make it DU signature friendly.

I probably need to tweak it a bit, though.

Who has addressed the jailing of 1/3 of the African American male population at one point or anothe?

We have decent human beings rotting in jail over flimsy charges. Due to the war on drugs.

That has helped exactly no one except the prison industrial complex. These are some hard questions that need to be answered.

I challenge all candidates to step up and address this, because it has a cascade effect.

Person loses job, goes to jail, children get shuffled around, suffer academically because of that ...

We have got to address these issues.

What's for dinner Mon, Aug 3

Grits. I'm training for a marathon in October, but gearing up for a 5K next weekend.

I needed carbs.

All of you that have been supportive while I was quitting smoking

I'm going to run a 5K next week. I couldn't do that when I was smoking.

I have my eye on a marathon, too.

You have no idea how much I appreciate the support I have received to get off of the coffin nails.

I'll probably gripe about missing them at a later date, but really - my lungs are feeling amazing.

4 months - no cheating, unless you consider the gum cheating.

Is DU SLOOOOOWWW for anyone else?

My ping time is fine, and other web pages are much more responsive.

Things Continue To Get Worse For George Zimmerman

https://www.slantnews.com/story/2015-07-31-george-zimmerman

In the interview with Ilia Calderón, Zimmerman reported that he owes his lawyers nearly two million dollars, fears for his life, and can't live a normal life anymore. Here's the full transcript, in Spanish, of the interview. Zimmerman also criticizes Obama, claims a clear conscience, and reveals he wears a bullet-proof vest.
Recently, Zimmerman was also in the news after he was wounded in a shooting-incident while he was driving.


Couldn't happen to a more deserving idiot.
