Dear Stephanie Flowers

Dear Sen. Stephanie Flowers,

You recently made national news when you stood up against a Stand Your Ground Law in Arkansas. You verbatim said that daily on the news were stories of black men being killed by white men and this would just give them an excuse to commit murder?

Where are those stories? I haven't seen any, and trust me I've looked.

I did find the following during my search:In 2017, 40 white persons were arrested for murder, but 92 black people were arrested for murder. 77% of Arkansas is white and only 15% is black. That doesn't really make much sense does it? Shouldn't the black murder rate be reason of logic be 20??? If you are only fifteen percent of the population logic would be that the murder rate would be similar. Instead, the murder rate for blacks is nearly five times what it should be.

Call me crazy but I see people saying we should do away with police and monitor ourselves, then people like you come out against stand your ground laws. Seems to me like what is really wanted is open season on people who are not of color. That's the only logical conclusion.

My mind is open. Tell me about all these black men being murdered by whites on a daily basis and I would happily change my stance. In the meantime, you might want to reconsider yours.

Sincerely,

Feral Blue Chicken

The Life and Times of Veronic Staley

Vernonica Staley was recently sentenced to life for the murder of Aljosa (Al) Memovic. She was thirty four years old at the time of the murder and was an aspiring singer. They had dated for some time, but in the previous year and half their relationship had deteriorated considerably. Friends had in fact warned Al to not meet up with Veronica. She had set up the telling him she had some of things to return and offered up “Dessert” after the lunch, according to the Houston Chronicle. While not much is known exactly about the length or nature of their relationship, relatives testified that Staley had deep mental issues after trauma she suffered in childhood. The prosecutors acknowledged she had issues, but said they were not sufficient enough to impact her sentencing. This is as it should be. There are literally millions of people living in the United States who have had childhoods filled with unimaginable pain and suffering who do not go on to kill others or live a life of cr...

Sterling Kohen & Questions

Sterling Kohen was a three month and thirty day old baby. At his murder trial, the prosecutor used the word malicious many times and to be honest, it's the perfect word. He was born healthy and over the course of his very short life he remained so and gained weight and grew. At some unknown point and for reasons that are not particularly clear, she began to resent his intrustion on the life she had shared with her older daughter Nala and he boyfriend Zach. He was found in a house that contained everything he needed to survive – formula, bottles, diapers, diaper rash cream, wipes, and clean clothing and blankets. It was not as if they could not afford to care for him. The father believed he was not his child and ignored him for the most part, which no doubt played a part in his mother's rejection. Both parents were abusing meth at the time of the murder. The father was gainfully employed and provided for the physical needs of the child. At the Zach's trial, DN...

Tabitha Buck

Tabitha Buck was convicted in the murder of Lauri Show along with Lisa Michelle Lambert. Clearly, time has been kind to neither woman. Inside sources tell us Tabitha is quiet, keeps to herself and avoids all unnecessary drama. When the Supreme Court ruled that life sentences without parole were unconstitutional when utilized against juveniles, Buck became eligible to be re-sentenced for her role in the murder. She had the decency to testify on the stand, stating: “Honestly, I have some mixed emotions about today’s proceedings,” she said. “I can’t imagine how Laurie’s family feels that this is even happening. I also can’t imagine how my family is feeling that this is even happening”. Time will tell if she is safe to live in society without causing futher harm to others. In her defense, she was new to the area, had no friends and was befriended by Lambert who has proven herself to be controlling, domineering, and rather mentally ill. If released, she would relocate to Oregon, wher...
