He called for his mother

Seeing approaching death, George Floyd cried for his mother; two years dead.

Seeing approaching death, Jesus cried for his father:

And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani.
which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?  Mark 15:34.

When some of those standing nearby heard this, they said, "Behold, He is calling Elijah." 

Jesus a bible scholar, and Rabbi (teacher) was speaking in Aramaic;  quoting a Psalm. Something that doubtless he would have known, since, as a child, he would often "runn oft"  to the temple engaging in debates with priests and rabbis, whenever his parents went to Jerusalem. This conduct that caused concern to Mother Mary. To this concern, Jesus replied "Wist ye not that I should be about my father's business." He was not talking about Joseph or carpentry.


I do not know if George Floyd called for his mother, in the ninth minute.


Like George Floyd, I may never recover; homicide by asphyxia; for this may haunt me forever. But at least, I have life.

Telling the new lie was just a matter of time; or as I call it, a matter of transparency

It is not “fake news” but it is “weak news”, and so it is not news. It fails to accurately represent the essential findings of a watered-down report that was prepared by your station’s license holder, San Diego State University.   I daresay that the fine folk from SDSU, despite their inability to understand the nature of data, found much more than what you have stated. The widespread disparities, requiring corrective action as reported by SDSU, went well beyond searches, alone. Indeed, the most massive disparity was in the use of Field Interviews, an item from Nisliet’s wheelhouse. ...

The Cops Who would be Blackman and Robin: Mercadal and Robinet

I have done worse than  the title of this post; one that does no justice to a pair of distinguished military aviators (Gen. Chappie James and Col.Robin Olds.) The Sacramento pair have done nothing to distinguish themselves, but nonetheless have achieved a deserved degree of fame, rather infamy. The work of each of them, the deadly duo, part of a larger litany of iniquity The above are the results of the entire Sacramento P.D. follows; neither words or elaboration are necessary. Comparisons are impossible when Whites are not subjected to the action/activity. Ah! Richard Hylton Why Sacramento matters; especially now that the CA-DOJ claims to be "assisting" those in its "backyard" with the matter of the killing of Stephan Clark, who died in his grandmother's 1 message Richard Hylton Fri, Jul 20, 2018 at 12:22 PM To: AB953 <ab953@doj.ca.gov>, Kelli Evans <kelli.evans@doj.ca.gov> Cc: "Catherine Z.
