http://www.rawstory.com/2015/05/tamir-rices-mother-now-living-in-a-homeless-shelter-to-avoid-killing-field-where-police-shot-him-dead/The family of 12-year-old Tamir Rice rejected Cleveland officials request that they delay a civil suit against the city, citing mental trauma his fatal shooting at the hands of police has caused his mother, the Washington Post reported.
Rices family said in a court motion filed on Monday that his mother, Samaria Rice, has since been forced to move to a homeless shelter because she could no longer live next door to the killing field of her son.

(9,126 posts)Does she have a gofundme account? If a bigot pizza place can get a million bucks, surely we can get this woman a place to live.

(9,086 posts)How has she not received compensation?
I also thought Al Sharpton was raising money for these families. What happened to that?

(7,006 posts)For himself. That's obvious with this sad story. The overriding question is when are folks going to stop falling for Al's "Pop into Town. March, Attend a Funeral, Get a Photo Op, Collect "Donations" and Leave" BS. Maybe now, just maybe....

(7,006 posts)You mean to tell me he could not offer this Woman a home or apartment rent free somewhere in Cleveland? Really?
Raine1967
(11,589 posts)who suffers this horrific life changing event?
At least three times you declared that Al Sharpton should be providing room and board for this woman.
How about the city she lives in? How about going after the city and the police officers and the structural racism that (IMO) led to the death of Tamir Rice?
Seriously, you seem to have a problem with Rev. Al Sharpton and it is really a strange one.
LovingA2andMI
(7,006 posts)Instead of directly answering the question posed what, like 4 times now. Luckily folks can READ THE THREAD and get the actual point.
Until then, Keep Defeating Al, as he needs it. Really....while posing for Photo Ops today....
And Tamir's Mom....well, this Woman deserves 150% better than this:

(11,589 posts)I can answer anything you request without you showing solid evidence of what you claim. You see. you made the claim, I am asking for proof.
After proof is provided, then perhaps I could discuss this with you.
LovingA2andMI
(7,006 posts)Or cannot read effectively. Proof is ALL OVER THIS THREAD. Meanwhile, bye-bye as I don't have time for Duck and Cover so-called Specialists like you.
Keep Defending Al (and ask him to pay his taxes someday, by the way).

(37,748 posts)I like to pretend I have absolute knowledge of all relevant matters too. It allows us to question the motives of someone who we ourselves are doing no more than (not that we work to actually find out the answer on our own-- merely ask it to better frame our biases).
It's great fun to hold others to a higher standard than we hold ourselves to.
Rose Siding
(32,623 posts)That's obscene. What is so complex? What's so intricate that they can't read the reports, take statements and examine the evidence in five months?
No justice.

(7,006 posts)Why the HELL is this Woman whose Son was MURDERED on Video by the Cleveland Police in front of his Sister living in a Homeless Shelter when a so-called bakery owner in some town in America was able to raise 1 MILLION DOLLARS in days after supposedly "refusing" to serve the LGBT community, Darrin Wilson is a Millionaire, George Zimmerman was a Thousandaire and still gets P.A.I.D. for "appearances"?
Serious, I want to know the answer this is simple question when groups affiliated with REV. AL SHARPTON or hell SHARPTON HIMSELF should have BEEN ALREADY placed this poor Woman of a MURDERED CHILD in apartment or home somewhere in Cleveland or the Burbs to move her ANYWAY from the park that was across the damn street from her rental home, that her child was MURDERED!!!
Come on folks, these questions should NOT be avoided at this point!!!
Raine1967
(11,589 posts)What is up with that?
LovingA2andMI
(7,006 posts)Now answer the question. SCROLL UP. Why is this Woman living in a Homeless Shelter when Al Sharpton or his affiliates should have been able to provide her with an rent free Apartment or Home in the Greater Cleveland Community?
Raine1967
(11,589 posts)Otherwise, I have no answer.
LovingA2andMI
(7,006 posts)Again, SCROLL UP but since that seems impossible for you:

Meanwhile, where was Rev. Al today while Tamir's Mom had to tell the World she's living in a Homeless Shelter.....at another Freaking Photo Op....

"Check out th is picture of Rev. Sharpton with President Obama at the My Brother's Keeper event in The Bronx today! We'll have more on this and other stories on PoliticsNation in a few. Are you with us?"

So, do you have any other questions? Better yet, if you do -- look them up yourself.
Meanwhile, back to my question (as you will keep bobbing and weaving from it to defend Al) --- Why again is Tamir's Mom living in a HOMELESS SHELTER? Couldn't Al or his affiliates in Cleveland find a rent free apartment or home for her to live in so she would NOT have to live across the street from the park her son was shot dead at, in front of his sister?
Waiting for a firm answer to that ^^^ simple question.

(31,681 posts)And that murdering cop ? Well let's focus on some pundit when a murder is going free.
This isn't about the pundit -
A little boy was murdered and that's where all the outrage needs to be directed.
