What are you doing to stand up against racism today??

I am attending the Ring Around The justice Center protest, where we shall form a human ring around the Justice Center in downtown Cleveland, Ohio. The motivation for this is over several issues, including:

-- Singer Sean Levert (son of the O'Jays' Eddie Levert, brother of singer Gerald Levert) was recently murdered by Cuyahoga County Jail. He died from complications related to Xanax withdrawal. The jail told him he'd have to wait two weeks to continue to receive his prescribed medication. When he began suffering the symptoms of Xanax withdrawal, they strapped him to a chair and refused to take him to an ER. He died. His last vocal performance was in the jail to fellow inmates, hours before he was killed.

-- The Cleveland Plain Dealer recently published a series of articles wherein they examined various drug cases. They found that the county posecutors would divert white defendants to programs that let them avoid felony charges whereas black defendants in virtually identical cases with virtually identical criminal backrounds were slapped with felonies on their records. This was proven to an absolutely shocking extent.

-- Democrat Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Bill Mason pledged before November's election that he supported open discovery for defendants, but immediately after the election he took back this promise.

Why is Theo joining up with such lefties to form a ring around the injustice center? Because enough is enough with the pigs.

The organizer of this protest was actually arrested on Christms Eve on a load of bullshit because the police wanted to f*** with him and show him they can have him sit in jail through the holidays if he doesn't shut his hole.

f*** the police :guitar:
