Police Continue Murdering Unarmed Black People

The death of George Floyd was one of many murders committed by white police officers against unarmed black people around the country. Many of these occur during minor traffic offenses or routine police calls, where there is no lethal threat to the officer. Here’s another case which defies credibility.  Louisiana State Police and Iberia Parish police, said Victor White III shot himself in the chest while handcuffed behind his back, as he was sitting in the rear seat of an Iberia Parish, LA police car. The events, which happened in 2014, are mind boggling.  Please note that the facts and events of the case I listed below, came from the arresting officer.

Victor White III, was a 22 year old son of a reverend. He was arrested for possession of narcotics by Iberia Parish police officer Justin Ortis six years ago.

  • The arresting officer testified that he thoroughly searched White twice. He found no weapons on him, but he did find a small amount of cocaine during that 2nd search.
  • The arresting officer transported White back to the police station.
  • The officer turned off the police car camera which points towards the rear seat.
  • Instead of stopping directly in front of the police station, the officer parked in a dark section of the parking lot, at the furthest point from the station.
  • There were no surveillance cameras at that dark, isolated location. 
  • The officer claims White refused to get out of the police car and then he heard a shot.
  • White was fatally wounded. 

Here’s the part which defies credibility. Despite being handcuffed behind his back (per the arresting officer), while sitting in the rear seat of a patrol car, the Police department claims the following. White, who is LEFT handed, miraculously found a gun and shot himself in the right / front side of his chest. What? 

  • After he was thoroughly searched twice, per the arresting officer, where did the weapon come from? 
  • Forget the question of why a 22 year old would want to commit suicide, how could a left handed man handcuffed behind his back, shoot himself in the right / front chest?  
  • The police car was equipped with a camera which points towards the rear seat. The officer turned off that camera. Why?
  • Why didn’t the arresting officer park directly in front of the police station? Why did he park in a dark, isolated section of the parking lot where there were no cameras? 

The coroner incredibly ruled his death was a suicide, so the officer was never charged.

You Believe In This God?

You Believe in this God?

The incredibly hypocrisy and lack of logic in the world of religion is mind boggling. Remember, believers tell us God has such immense power that we can’t even begin to imagine how powerful God is. Please keep that in mind as I make some comments which prove, if there is a God, you should never place any trust or faith in that deity.

  • How can any Jewish person believe in God?
  • How can black people believe in God?
  • How can Catholics believe in their God?

What was this all-powerful God doing while more than 6 million Jews were slaughtered by the Nazis during WW II? What was this all-powerful God doing when thousands of black people became slaves of people who were allegedly God fearing? You know those slave owners had their bibles out on Sunday at their church services while enslaving other human beings and killing native Americans.

And Catholics? You believe in God as hundreds or thousands of priests around the world sexually assaulted young boys while your God did nothing. Why does your all-powerful God allow that?  Is that the kind of God you want to worship?

Every day in America, young girls are kidnapped, sexually assaulted, murdered, and brutalized by psychopaths. What do the families of these young girls do when they learn their daughter or sister was kidnapped? That’s right, they pray to God for her safe return. Really? Where was your all powerful God when she was kidnapped, sexually abused, and her body mutilated by the psychopath?  After they find out the gruesome news of what actually happened to their daughters or sisters, they pray to that same God who did nothing while she was in the process of being brutalized. Then they say something in their prayers, such as we’ll be together again in heaven? Really? Where is this place you call heaven?

The above are examples of the incredible hypocrisy and total lack of logic in the world of religion. It even shows up in what we normally perceive as harmless events.  When a player scores a touchdown, he often looks up in the sky (where else would God be located?) and expresses his thanks. Are you kidding? You’re telling me there’s an immense power called God, with all the major events going on in the world, God is watching a football game, using that immense power to ensure you and/or your team wins? Unbelievable!

Americans believe God has incredible power, but they never hold God accountable for the never ending horrible things which happen in our world. Oh no! They blame something called the devil or man.  You’re telling me that man and the devil have more power than God? In sum, God has the perfect scam going. God receives the credit for everything good that happens on our planet, but is never held accountable for the never ending negatives which destroy or end our lives. And you want to believe in a God who doesn’t use that immense power for good?

Republican Party Shreds the Constitution

The impeachment process of Trump became a national disgrace after the articles of impeachment reached the Senate. After taking an oath of impartiality, both Moscow Mitch and Lindsey Graham proclaimed Trump would be exonerated long before the trial started. But if you thought that was bad, there was no trial, therefore, Trump was never acquitted. Yes they had a vote, but it was meaningless.

In every American trial, the prosecution introduces evidence and then calls witnesses to corroborate their evidence. What did the Republican Party members of the Senate do? They did not allow the prosecution to introduce evidence or call witnesses. That was not democracy in action, it was something you would see in a third world banana republic dictatorship.

That was a terrifying moment in American history. It illustrated the fact that the Republican Party is now a dictatorship.

Is There A God?

Let’s start with a perspective on American culture. Our children are taught there’s Superman, Batman, Santa Claus, and something called God looking out for them. By the time we’re in our middle teens, at the latest, we realize the first three are cultural myths. But for a variety of reasons, the fourth cultural myth about the existence of something called God, remains ingrained in the mindset of most people. I’ve thought about the persistence of this cultural myth for a long time and I think it persists in part because

  • There’s intense pressure on all of us to believe in a God. After all, even our money says “In God We Trust”. Those who dare state there is no God are often mocked, verbally attacked, and/or ostracized. People don’t enjoy being ostracized or disliked. Atheists are one of the most disliked groups in America. Thankfully that’s changing with our younger generation.
  • I’m convinced another reason people want to believe in a God so badly is they can’t come to terms with the fact that it’s over after they die. People desperately want to believe there’s another life waiting for them and it will happen in some perfect fantasy world we call heaven. Talk about cultural myths and con jobs!
  • Of course, nobody ever met God and no one can tell us where heaven or hell is located. Over 50 years of satellites orbiting the earth has yet to uncover heaven.
  • What people perceive of as a God, is provided with the ultimate scam and it works virtually to perfectionOrganized religion has convinced billions of people anything which goes wrong on the planet is either man’s fault or the devil, while everything good is courtesy of God. Unbelievable! Despite allegedly having immense power, God is never held accountable for anything negative.

My next article will delve into my final point above. How or why does man’s vision of a God escape virtually 100% accountability for all the evil in the world?
