Sic Semper Tyrannis

The media at large has attempted to condemn the recent events in Kirkwood as an "inexcusable" act of a madman.

Questions how ever arise when we hear when reporters that can't even manage to prod a condemning statement out of the neighbors of the late Charles "Cookie" Thornton.

Many were the cries of racism against the city council, it is obvious to those with open minds that the events of February 7th are simply a case of "chickens came home to roost" so to speak.

When the state continues to prop up racism, and use financial measures such as issuing over 150 tickets to damage a minority owned business. Then silences the objections of the victim by disallowing them adequate voice, this is what happens.

This should not be viewed as a fluke incident as the media has attempted to portray it. Rather it should be held up as a warning, and we should proclaim loudly "this is payment for oppression! As long as you suffocate the demands of the masses with police violence, bureaucratic indifference and economic devestations this is what we shall return upon you, sic semper tryrannis!"

Cookie was no madman, he was a martyr, let him be remembered as a people's champion! Let the mayor, Mike Swoboda be remembered as the most racist man in Missouri!
