White Men With Assault Rifles? Okay. Black Child With Pellet Gun? Dead



News outlets have been buzzing this week as armed right wing terrorists took over a federal wildlife building, while the federal government greeted the situation with a fairly large yawn. At the same time as the occupation was taking place, a special prosecutor in Cleveland announced that the police officer who shot and killed 12 year old Tamir Rice would NOT be facing criminal charges.

Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins discusses this with political commentator Chauncey DeVega.

It's ok to parade around with guns openly and call for the overthrow of the government but if you are black you need to tell your children to be careful if they are playing with toy guns. I think that some racist cops just see it as an opportunity to kill a black person.

Perhaps Tamir Rice should have been a Mormon.

"Tells of a family's struggle to come together and survive in the midst of national crisis. A stirring, fast-paced novel about what matters most in the face of devastating end-times chaos. Filled with gripping action and relatable characters, readers are drawn into the heart-rending dilemmas each member of the Bonham family faces. You may even find yourself stopping to ask, "What would I do?" LaVoy Finicum is a real life Northern Arizona Rancher who loves nothing more in life than God, freedom, and family. His spine tingling storytelling conveys in graphic detail just how fragile and precious freedom truly is and leaves his readers with an increased desire to stand for freedom"
