thetragichippy Posted April 7, 2014 Report Posted April 7, 2014 The Black Panthers are rallying in Jasper Monday afternoon in support of Alfred Wright's family and to protest the investigation into his death. Why wouldn't they protest in the city it actually happened.......if they are concerned... http://www.kfdm.com/shared/news/top-stories/stories/kfdm_vid_9553.shtml Quote
bullets13 Posted April 7, 2014 Report Posted April 7, 2014 Thanks to the dragging death there many years ago, "Jasper" is more likely to get them some press time. thetragichippy and Mr. Buddy Garrity 2 Quote
jv_coach Posted April 7, 2014 Report Posted April 7, 2014 Thanks to the dragging death there many years ago, "Jasper" is more likely to get them some press time. As long as we all understand he true motives behind this is press time and not justice. Quote
thetragichippy Posted April 7, 2014 Author Report Posted April 7, 2014 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dkh8yImDEZc It's not so peaceful...... Quote
fox Posted April 7, 2014 Report Posted April 7, 2014 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dkh8yImDEZc It's not so peaceful...... what do you expect from a racial hate group. it would not surprise me if a few of setx board members were not part of that rally……. Quote
Mr. Buddy Garrity Posted April 7, 2014 Report Posted April 7, 2014 Isnt the young man who was murdered actually from Jasper? Quote
BLUEDOVE3 Posted April 7, 2014 Report Posted April 7, 2014 what do you expect from a racial hate group. it would not surprise me if a few of setx board members were not part of that rally……. :rolleyes: Quote
thetragichippy Posted April 7, 2014 Author Report Posted April 7, 2014 Isnt the young man who was murdered actually from Jasper? I think so.....but that is not were he died. He died in Hemphill. They are claiming he was lynched (according to the news). Quote
Mr. Buddy Garrity Posted April 7, 2014 Report Posted April 7, 2014 what do you expect from a racial hate group. it would not surprise me if a few of setx board members were not part of that rally……. I wasn't. Quote
Mr. Buddy Garrity Posted April 7, 2014 Report Posted April 7, 2014 I think so.....but that is not were he died. He died in Hemphill. They are claiming he was lynched (according to the news). Would you agree that holding the rally where he was from (being Jasper) instead of Hemphill would bring more press and coverage to this unfortunate situation? The only reason I knew about this rally was cause of it being plastered on twitter since it was in Jasper. Quote
BLUEDOVE3 Posted April 7, 2014 Report Posted April 7, 2014 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dkh8yImDEZc It's not so peaceful...... According toooooo.....? What video?? I didn't see any punches thrown or people fighting? Quote
BLUEDOVE3 Posted April 7, 2014 Report Posted April 7, 2014 I think so.....but that is not were he died. He died in Hemphill. They are claiming he was lynched (according to the news). The family is seeking justice for their dead son. Maybe they have tried other reasonable ways for closure and needed to step up the pressure to obtain national exposure. Quote
Mr. Buddy Garrity Posted April 7, 2014 Report Posted April 7, 2014 According toooooo.....? What video?? I didn't see any punches thrown or people fighting? All I saw was a line formation by authorities and a black panther member talking and people taking photos or recording it. Quote

Maybe.....I think since CNN distorted a lot of the facts and made it a national story, anywhere would of brought media coverage. They need to protest to the people that they have the problem with,,,,,,and I don't think it is Jasper. IMO Quote
thetragichippy Posted April 7, 2014 Author Report Posted April 7, 2014 All I saw was a line formation by authorities and a black panther member talking and people taking photos or recording it. Participants in the protest demanded entry into the Department of Public Safety building. Troopers stood side-by-side to keep them from entering the building. A peaceful demonstration would not need 25 troopers side by side to keep people from entering the building..... of course, I have never been to a protest rally...so that may be considered peaceful.

If an American is wrongfully locked up in Cuba, well you already know what happens, don't yall!!! Quote

Fire hazard I'm sure. BECAUSE you have a constitutional right to protest. The history of this country is based on protest. Quote

This happened in November and after handing it over to the FBI, Texas Rangers and who ever else, nothing else has happened or been discovered. It's been 5 months..... Quote
thetragichippy Posted April 7, 2014 Author Report Posted April 7, 2014 Fire hazard I'm sure. BECAUSE you have a constitutional right to protest. The history of this country is based on protest. You don't have a right to protest in a building while trying to conduct business Quote
baddog Posted April 7, 2014 Report Posted April 7, 2014 Funny how the good citizens of Jasper, blacks included, told the panthers to take their #*£€ down the road last time they were there. Quote

thetragichippy Posted April 7, 2014 Author Report Posted April 7, 2014 Exactly......Something is wrong with that. ;) Or nothing else can be proven to dispute the initial results..... We shall see Quote
fox Posted April 7, 2014 Report Posted April 7, 2014 Funny how the good citizens of Jasper, blacks included, told the panthers to take their #*£€ down the road last time they were there. makes me wonder why people would want to affiliate themselves with a documented racial hate group for any reason???
