If group names were required to reflect their true agenda, the Pulpit Forum's accurate title would be "Demagogues For Anarchy".

Meanwhile, there was yet another killing involving young men in Greensboro yesterday.

Not just young men, Doug.

Virtually all of the robberies, armed robberies and murders being committed are being committed by black men.

Seriously, where the hell is the Pulpit Forum and all the other so called black leaders on the issue of these barbaric, violent, criminal punks who are running wild all over?
Why aren't they hammering this issue calling out the many irresponsible people in their own community?

Make me sick.

Just my opinion, until we get serious about drugs, this will continue to escalate. We must also turn jails* in to jails. My opinion, neither will happen.
When I was on jury duty some years ago. A judge had a young man in front of him, that he had given jail time. He asked the young man, how it liked hail. I never forget his reply, not bad, 3 hots, a cot, and I get to play all the basket ball, I want.

Wait a minute -- you're telling me that gang leader, er, community activist Jorge Cornell has been charged with felony kidnapping?!?

I thought he was a peacemaker, a community builder. That's what he said - and plenty of people believed him.

I'm just shocked that a gang member might commit a violent crime. I mean, who could've seen that coming?

It's clear the Pulpit will lie down with any dogs, as long as the doggie agenda is "police are bad". An enemy of my enemy is my friend.

I have to say that I'm very disappointed in Cornell and the Latin Kings. After all the free advertising your paper has provided, they repay you with home invasions and kidnappings? Have they no decency?

Come on, brian444, the N&R was REQUIRED to publish the propaganda from Nelson Johnson and crew; it's part of the N&R's unwritten agreement with the black activists in our community.
Anything from Nelson Johnson, The Pulpit Forum, Joe Williams, The Simpkins PAC, or other "leaders" must the given blind credence and published as though it were the truth.
Can't we all just get along??

Jaycee, I understand the requirement, but even so, the N&R went above and beyond the call of duty in presenting the Latin Kings as the new voice of civil justice and peace in our time. It went way beyond the standard "Nelson said it, front page gets it" practices to approach the realm of Catholic hagiography.

And this is the thanks they get.

Fortunately, they haven't missed a beat. The story to which Doug links is able to turn a loss into a win by heroically portraying the myriad oppressed--a veritable rainbow coalition of the brutalized--as they "united under the banner of unity, peace and justice for a march and rally on Saturday." (There's that objective journalistic language we're always hearing about.) I guess if you're in for a penny, you're in for a pound.

Here we go again as always. Individuals blogging about a situation that they have no facts about. How many times has there been a problem with the Greensboro Police Department? Did we all forget about the "black book" being kept on African-American officers? This department has alot of Chiefs and not enough Indians. Where is the evidence of this so called "crime" done by Cornell? How is it "kidnapping" when the girl's mother stated that her child was not abducted. Let's get the facts straight and then blog about it or even better let's wait on the verdict of the courts and then we can become critics. Oh by the way Doug, nice title for this article "on the wrong side". It should have been entitled "guilty until proven innocent". And another side note, just b/c you don't think police brutality is a huge problem in Greensboro doesn't mean it doesn't happen here. Hell, if I were a successful white collar man in Greensboro I would find its lack of importance as well.

I don't think you really want to go back to the black book.

I didn't say police brutality isn't a problem. There are occasional instances everywhere of excessive police force being used.

But it's not the biggest problem, given the murder rate in this city.
