In lieu of sounding insensitive, this demonstrates how mainstream media skews facts and inflames situations. An Auburn football player was killed this weekend. The following excerpt is from an up-to-date report: " A 22-year-old man has been arrested on a felony warrant charging him with murder in Sunday's fatal shooting of Auburn football player Jakell Lenard Mitchell, police said. * Police also disclosed new details that the 18-year-old freshman Mitchell had received multiple gunshot wounds to the chest" -- Please note that Jakell Mitchell, like Michael Brown was 18, but Mitchell is described as an 18-year old freshman, and Brown was described as an unarmed black 18-year old teen. Also please note that the suspect arrested is described as "a 22-year-old man". No mention of him being black is made. Everyone was informed that Darren Wilson was a white police officer.

L-E addition in story of Auburn player killed: "Once he joined the Tigers, Mitchell did enough during fall camp to catch the eye of offensive coordinator Rhett Lashlee. * "He is not scared of anybody," Lashlee said in August. "He's what, 215 pounds and he'll hit the biggest guy on our team in the mouth as hard as he can and not back down." -- Good grief.. who wants a player on a team that will hit someone else on his team? Also, what head coach would want an assistant coach who would think this was a player asset, much less seemingly encourage/reward such an act..

Online story: "WASHINGTON (AP) — Family members of young, unarmed black men killed by police — from Michael Brown and Eric Garner in recent months, to Amadou Diallo more than 15 years ago — packed a stage in front of the U.S. Capitol on Saturday, using a shared forum to urge thousands of supportive marchers to keep up the pressure for changes to the criminal justice system." -- Hmmm.. where are the protestors going next.. to Auburn, AL. Yeah .. right.. Also note, none of the protestors care about unarmed whites killed by black police officers. It's not white racists that are the problem.. It's the decay of civility and moral culture in the black community.

Let's experiment....You know..why doesn't the Ferguson City Council just initiate a moratorium on whites and police from going there, and at the end of a year, let Ferguson voters decide if they want to continue self-policing segregation.

Online story: "A fight over the Ten Commandments is causing controversy at an Ohio public high school. * Harding High School’s class of 1953 gifted a copy of the Ten Commandments to the school. For years the plaque hung in a school hallway next to the preamble of the United States Constitution, but in August the principal ordered it taken down. * Marion City Schools said it acted to avoid legal challenges that have been prompted by similar Ten Commandments displays in other Ohio public school districts." -- Wait a minute.. who is discriminated against or feels the basic tenets of the 10 Commandments doesn't work for them? When God gave the 10 Commandments to Moses, it was in the middle-East where Jews, and eventual Christians and Muslims were living! It's the laws of life.

Random thought: Wonder if the welfare crowd have figured out that al Sharlatan's withholding tax payments cuts back funds available for welfare?

Online headline/story: "Cops Tell De Blasio: Stay Away From Our Funerals * The Patrolmen’s Benevolent Association distributed a flier to members, blaring: “DON’T LET THEM INSULT YOUR SACRIFICE!” Cops were encouraged to sign and submit the “Don’t Insult My Sacrifice” waiver to ban the cop-bashing pols from their funerals." -- Hmmm. our local police officers should do the same as a protest for because the Mayor and Council currently drain about $750,000.00 annually from the Public Safety LOST revenues for unproven Crime Prevention programs instead of putting those funds into supporting our police and fire personnel.

Online headline/story: "12 Year Welfare Queen Explains “I don’t need it (a job), I get a check from the government” -- A 30 year old woman.. with 4 children.. living off a tax teat. Excuse me, but the welfare programs should be working to eliminate the need for a welfare program. This woman has made a hammock out of the safety net.

Online story: "In 2012, Michelle Obama announced new lunch standards to be implemented in public schools across the country. The standards weren’t just unpopular, they pushed kids to revolt on their social media accounts by posting pictures of the food that was imposed on them. * In addition, the standards have drastically decreased the amount of kids buying lunches from school. " -- Wow.. little did Michelle Obama know, but she is actually (while inadvertently) helping families. Even parents of students on the "reduced/free" food program are getting up, getting involved, in the morning and making lunches for their kids to take versus eating Michelle's garbage.

L-E "soundoff" from a voter who "gets it": " Kudos to Frank Myers and John Thomas. They attended the Georgia School Board Conference in Atlanta and paid their own way while the rest of the board went on the public’s dime." -- ..but even this tidbit leaves unanswered questions: Did the outgoing members go? Why would a School Board Conference be scheduled befor new sitting boards take office in January? and, my favorite..Did not Kia Chambers attend?
---
L-E's "Today in history" feature: "On this date: In 1791, the Bill of Rights went into effect following ratification by Virginia." -- Hmmm... subsequently, on January 20, 2009, new President Obamageddon buried it.
---
L-E headline: "2 of 3 Choctaw County escapees captured" -- Hmmm... sorta answers the question: Is Choctaw County Jail 2/3's full, of 1/3rd empty?
---
L-E headline: "Ga. law enforcement, government agencies given $70M in surplus gear" -- Or.. in other words, our military is now less equipped too handle new problems.
---
L-E headline/story: "Blue Cross Blue Shield of Alabama extends coverage to married gay couples * The state of Alabama does not currently recognize same-sex marriages and has a ban on gay marriage written into the Alabama Constitution." -- Good grief..
---
L-E headline: "Suspects identified in suburban Atlanta police shooting" -- OK, L-E, what color are the criminals and the police officers?
