Soapbox Moment - Online story: "Six days after riots sparked by Freddie
Gray's death, Baltimore's mayor lifted a citywide curfew Sunday and faith
leaders called for continued activism until justice is achieved. * A jubilant
crowd of several hundred prayed and sang civil-rights anthems at a City Hall
rally. * The Rev. Lisa Weah, pastor of the New Bethlehem Baptist Church in
Gray's neighborhood, said the message of equal justice for all must not be lost.
* "Our prayer is that Baltimore will be the model for the rest of the nation,"
she said." -- "equal justice for all must not be lost"? ...."our prayer is that
Baltimore will be a model"? Good grief..equal just for all IS lost when lynch
mob mentality riots reek injustice for business and homeowners.. equal justice
IS lost when rioters/looters are not arrested... equal justice IS lost when
police officers are scorned and scourged by the people who need their
protection...equal justice IS lost when the justice system is used to placate
mob anger...equal justice IS lost when criminals are made martyrs.. Oh.. and we
do need prayer.. prayer that Baltimore DOES NOT BECOME THE MODEL for the rest of
the nation..

Who knew that the bar for attorneys could have been lowered?

Online story: "Two gunmen were killed Sunday after opening fire on a security officer outside a provocative contest for cartoon depictions of Prophet Muhammad in Texas and a bomb squad was called in to search their vehicle as a precaution, authorities said." -- Hmmm.. guess mainstream media.. including our own L-E must be sweating out what would happen if Christians reacted to "demonic" depiction of God and Jesus the same way as Muslims do Muhammad...

Online story: "In an interview with the Baltimore Sun, Al Sharpton suggested a controversial measure to help restore justice between police and the community. * Sharpton said:“We need the Justice Department to step in and take over policing in this country. In the 20th century…we’re going to have to fight states’ rights in terms of closing down police cases. Police must be held accountable. *I don’t think all police are bad. I don’t even think even think most are bad. But those who are need to be held accountable.” -- Where to start... well, let's at least get into the 21st Century...and then let's exchange "blacks" for "police": " blacks must be held accountable. *I don’t think all blacks are bad. I don’t even think even think most are bad. But those who sare need to be held accountable.” This makes more sense and will solve the problems. And as far as states' rights are concerned.. our founding fathers made sure the states had more standing than the DOJ on police matters.

Jonathan Gruber stupid LIV's L-E "soundoff": "It takes a village to raise a child. The violence in Baltimore is proof." -- Huh? Is this person advocating that this neighborhood in Baltimore is full of villagers he/she/ would want to raise a child?

L-E's "Thought for Today: ": “The trouble with being punctual is that nobody’s there to appreciate it.” — Franklin P. Jones, American journalist-humorist (1908-1980)." -- Hmmm.. the same can be said about being the smartest person in the room at a Democratic Party presidential nominating convention.
---
L-E's "Today in History" feature: "On this date: In 1776, Rhode Island declared its freedom from England, two months before the Declaration of Independence was adopted." -- Hmmm sorta like a real life "The (itty bitty) Mouse that Roared".

L-E headline: "Baltimore curfew ends; city looks for normalcy" -- "city looks for normalcy"? Good grief.. why would Baltimore want to go back to an entitlement economics state? Oh.. BTW, "There are still 3,000 Maryland National Guard members spread across Baltimore’s streets." -- That's sounds like "normalcy"..NOT!

L-E headline: "Ben Carson announces bid for 2016 White House" -- I like Ben
Carson... in fact, I admire Ben Carson.... but he's no more qualified to be
president than Joe Biden (whom I do not like or admire). Ben Carson.. be an
advocate for self-improvement.. personal success... and a role model for those
who feel/think hard work and education will not get them out of poverty..but, do
not be the foil of both Republican politicians or mainstream media or the voodoo
doll of the Democratic Party. ,

I'm curious.. there have been at least 4 straight days of full and partial
page ads promoting Columbus Regional as a sponsor of the L-E's "Page One
Awards".. How many more, or at least bigger, scholarships could have been given
out if so much wasn't spent on advertising?
