Excerpt from "CopBlock"
On June 15, 2012 my brother Charlie Salinas was gunned down like a dog by officers of the Sanger Police Department and Fresno County Sheriffs Department. He was depressed, drunk, and suicidal. He made a 911 call saying he wanted to die. Sanger Police Department obliged him. They surrounded him, and opened fire shooting at least 30 times, even shooting him as he lay on the ground dying.

BLOODY TOOMBS

Memoir and Allegory

by Bob Darby

Preface, by Mary Neal

"Bloody Toombs" is the autobiographical work of Bob Darby, a lifelong human rights activist. Darby came of age as a privileged Caucasian in the segregated South during the civil rights era. America was engulfed in a war at home as well as the Vietnam War, the last military conflict when young men were drafted. Darby's stance against racism and the war created a rift between himself and some of his closest relatives and friends in his Toombs County, Georgia home town. Darby says Toombs County was called "Bloody Toombs" because of its alleged lawlessness and violence, often of a racial nature. 

When Darby graduated from Emory University and enrolled at Ivy League schools in the East—Harvard and Tufts—he found many comrades who shared his admiration for Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and the Freedom Riders as well as his dedication to the anti-war movement. Darby embraced the freedom of the late 1960’s, studied hard to excel in his classes, and was very proud to find a paid position as an anti-war activist in California. Few of Darby’s friends realized that the crusading anti-racism, anti-war activist was also fighting a very personal war to ignore the beckoning red clay grave he imagined waiting for him in Georgia. The sensitive and brilliant young man’s manic depression sometimes led to wild exuberance and other times to suicidal thoughts and attempts to end his life.

This is the first edition of “Bloody Toombs” to be offered publicly. It omits the original Chapter One, wherein Darby described incestuous sexual assaults he was forced to endure as a pubescent boy, which he blames for triggering his bipolar disorder. Despite Darby’s challenges, or perhaps because of them, he rejected the teachings of his conservative, elite background to become a man with tremendous empathy for downtrodden people. Darby’s life is one of service as a civil rights advocate, peace activist, and the founder of Food Not Bombs in Atlanta. “Bloody Toombs” proves that Darby is also a masterful writer who makes one feel the excitement of his adventures, his passion for social justice, and his quest for normalcy.

“Bloody Toombs” is an allegory as well as a memoir in that it deals with social and ethical issues of universal importance. It brings to mind other books that follow the main characters through exciting periods in American life allowing one to observe history according to their experiences: “Forrest Gump” and “Having Our Say: The Delany Sisters’ First 100 Years.” All three well-told stories influence our way of thinking. "Having Our Say" traced two African American sisters from Reconstruction to the 1990's. Forrest Gump's experiences took readers through periods of momentous changes just as Darby does in his memoir, including the civil rights movement and Vietnam War era as well as America's hippie years. "Bloody Toombs" also illustrates how mental illness has been dealt with over time.

Darby never forgot being homeless for brief periods when he experienced mental health crises and has arranged for sales of “Bloody Toombs” to help give Assistance to the Incarcerated Mentally Ill. "Bloody Toombs" will soon be available for order as books and ebooks. This article will be updated when it goes on sale. We thank you in advance.

MaryLovesJustice Prayer Meeting: Fire and Brimstone

Most ministries have departed from the "fire and brimstone" preaching that used to be prominent in Christian messages. In fact, some noted ministers teach that nobody will be rejected if they at any time have said the sinners prayer and verbally accepted Jesus as their lord and savior. They teach the "once saved, always saved" doctrine and do not acknowledge that as free will beings, people can and do depart from Christ and forfeit their salvation. Below are a few of the bible passages that refute the idea that individuals or nations can forget God and ignore their duty to obey Him yet enter into His rest.

Hear a "MaryLovesJustice Prayer Meeting" at Blogtalkradio wherein we presented God's warnings about hellfire and brimstone. We are on air each Sunday night at 9pmPST, and all episodes are archived.

Psalm 9:17
The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.

Proverbs 27:20
Hell and destruction are never full; so the eyes of man are never satisfied.

Isaiah 5:14
Therefore hell hath enlarged herself, and opened her mouth without measure: and their glory, and their multitude, and their pomp, and he that rejoiceth, shall descend into it.

Matthew 5:29
And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.

Matthew 10:28
And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.

Matthew 23

28 Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.

29 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of the righteous,

30 And say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.

31 Wherefore ye be witnesses unto yourselves, that ye are the children of them which killed the prophets.

32 Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers.

33 Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?

Matthew 25:31-46
The Final Judgment

31 “When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit on his glorious throne. 32 Before him will be gathered all the nations, and he will separate people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. 33 And he will place the sheep on his right, but the goats on the left. 34 Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. 35 For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, 36 I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me.’ 37 Then the righteous will answer him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink? 38 And when did we see you a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you? 39 And when did we see you sick or in prison and visit you?’ 40 And the King will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.’ 41 “Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. 42 For I was hungry and you gave me no food, I was thirsty and you gave me no drink, 43 I was a stranger and you did not welcome me, naked and you did not clothe me, sick and in prison and you did not visit me.’ 44 Then they also will answer, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to you?’ 45 Then he will answer them, saying, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to me.’ 46 And these will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”

Psalm 11:6
Upon the wicked he shall rain snares, fire and brimstone, and an horrible tempest: this shall be the portion of their cup.

Our Father issued us all a Royal Invitation to the great wedding ceremony, when Jesus will greet his Bride, the Church. Please accept yours today, or be damned.
