Mary Neal's Response to Democrats

Mary Neal's Response to Democrats, March 30, 2013:

I am interested in what the president intends to do for blacks in our current state of EMERGENCY: unemployment, exploitation by the prison system, apartheid stop & frisk laws, denial of duly elected representatives in urban areas like Detroit, and the secret arrest and murder of Larry Neal and suppression of free speech/freedom of press rights of Mary Neal. Please tell me if he plans acceptable REMEDY according to International Human Rights Law or if blacks will be encamped [and assassinated] for complaining. Thank you.

On November 5, even the horrible aftermath of Hurricane Sandy didn't stop this system from pressing forward with its efforts to punish four freedom fighters for taking a courageous stand against stop-and-frisk. Carl Dix, Jamel Mims, Morgan Rhodewalt, and Bob Parsons, along with nine others, were arrested in November 2011 at a non-violent mass civil disobedience at the Queens 103rd NYPD Precinct. The four now face two counts of Obstruction of Government Administration and one count of Disorderly Conduct for failure to disperse—which carry a possible sentence of 12 months in jail. (See Revolution #284, November 4, 2012, for background.)

As tens of thousands throughout the city were still suffering from no power, heat, gas, and shelter—the Queens County courthouse was up and running again, this pipeline for mass incarceration quickly getting back up to speed. And the District Attorney's office came back ready to resume its determined effort to punish these freedom fighters for standing up against the totally illegitimate, racist NYPD stop-and-frisk policy—that stops and harasses hundreds of thousands every year, especially Black and Latino youth. The prosecution returned, rabid to deliver a message that anyone who resists this criminal injustice will pay a heavy price. The defendants, their attorneys, and supporters were there too, determined to defeat these attempts.   **Read the entire article at
