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

Seandell Jackson

Seandell Jackson was convicted of murdering Nathan Potter who was a student at University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. He had attempted to rob him, however Nathan was not carrying any cash and was merely traveling from one location to another at the time of his death. There is nothing special about Seandell, other than he is the poster child for why prisons exist, and that he and his family are responsible for the choices he made that day. When he was sentenced for first-degree intentional homicide and attempted robbery, he was sentenced to life in prison with no chance of parole, he screamed obscenities, and had to be tackled and pepper sprayed. He was not alone in his outbursts, his family yelled out as well: " I hate you! I hate you all!", " I hate all of you!", " God's the judge" . Funny to bring God into things when your family member has committed which God forbids. Perhaps they were absent on the Sunday that was being taught. It's easy ...

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...

Dear Jaycee Lee Dugar

Dear Jaycee, Thank you for sharing your story. Thank you for being so courageous and putting into words what so many of us feel. Some of us were raised in homes with parents like your captor. No one ever noticed our suffering or our bruises. Some of our scars are invisible, just like yours. So many chances to be saved, but getting involved would have made them committed to a human being that was not their own. I'm sorry for your suffering. I am thankful you have been able to rebuild your life with your mother and daughters. I understand your desire to avoid publicity and the spot light. No one in their right minds wants to be known for trauma. You put into words so many things that so many of us live with, but words and explanations escape us. How does one explain the difficulty of a crowd and the danger associated with strangers and what they might do to us. It seems impossible, and yet you've done it. I don't know how many “outlayers” will contact you t...
