Subject: The Hartford Courant, the Murders, the Mayor and duh GUV

Ms. Ubinas,
The murders and the hatred in Hartford originate with
the Republican Party who hate black people, fully
believe in the American Enterprise Institute's
"Custodial Democracy:" "the darker, the dumber;"
Republicans believe dark people should be in cages,
they have done nothing but operate upon the principal
of getting rid of them, Daniel Pipes - one of the
NeoCon crazies, has revealed to us that Black
Americans might start a rebellion in case they are
Muslims; Rowlandgate was about a "national string of
prisons" enterprise, the DCF was behind it, since they
create the adult criminals via their fraudulent
removals, trauma, brain damaging drug "treatment" of
DCF-induced trauma, and breaking up families (which
DMHAS participates in, since they can simply invent
whatever they want, and there does not have to be any
evidence of abuse or neglect); Hartford's COINTELPRO
Red Squad - J. Edgar Hoover's policy of bagging Black
activists- even if they are non-violent, and and so
on.
If you want the references for these claims, they are
linked from my homepage. http://actionlyme.org
There's no point in pointing at the little perps- the
hopeless people who suffer this relentless hatred and
the destruction of every attempt by black people to
pull themselves out of this hole we put them in.
Point the finger at Rell and her policies of hatred
and abuse. She has a choice not to listen to "The
Party" bosses. But she is so stupid, she probably
doesn't even realize she has the choice. After all,
what woman in their right mind would want to be a
Republican? Republican males also believe all women
are stupid, too.
No one knows quite what to do with Eddie Perez. He
hasn't grown out of that "It's all about MEEeee!" - 17
year old mentality stuff. Soon he will will probably
be be getting a good whack by the Swift Boat Brigade.
Especially since he supports Rell's opponent.
That's how the Republican's play it: Hatred, Lies,
and Blame the Victim.
If we in Corrupticut want to end the violence in
Hartford, get rid of Rell and all of her
commissioners.
Spada and Rowland's (1995) Executive Order Number Two,
remember? "WHEREAS black people are poor, they must
be criminals..."
Racial profiling by Executive Order of the Governor.
Hatred, per the Guv's Orders. HATRED, per the Order
of the Republican Party.

Rell, Perez Bicker As City Bleeds
Helen Ubiñas
June 1 2006
Kerry Foster Sr. didn't want to talk about his son, at
least not to strangers. He didn't want to tell
reporters who found their way to his Clark Street home
this week about how excited the younger Kerry was to
be done with middle school, how he planned to play
football for Prince Tech. How his only son was too
busy with school and athletics and other activities to
get in trouble.
He didn't want to talk about any of it. "People get
things twisted," he said.
They assume that because the 15-year-old was killed in
a drive-by Sunday, he was associated with the thugs
who turned Hartford into the Wild West this past week-
16 shootings since Wednesday. "Come to the funeral
Friday," he said. "You'll see what kind of kid he
was."
They assume that the family lived in Hartford out of
necessity. But living in the city where Kerry Sr. grew
up, where he works as a firefighter, was a choice, his
choice. "It's not where you live," Foster told me as
family and friends gathered. "It's how you live."
He's partly right, of course. There are lots of kids
in the city who make it, who finish high school, go to
college and prove every stereotype wrong by going on
to do great things. By all accounts, his son was well
on his way to becoming one of them. A substitute
teacher who stopped by Tuesday met the younger Kerry
only once, two weeks ago. But she said she had to come
tell his family what an impression he had made. "He
was one of those kids you wished would make it."
But Foster is also wrong. It is, unfortunately and
unfairly, about where you live. His son was doing
nothing more than sitting on his porch on a holiday
weekend when the violence we keep trying to hold at
bay reached in and claimed him. And once again we find
ourselves wondering what to do, wringing our hands,
searching for a solution that just might work this
time.
It's yet another opportunity to address the issue, but
that's not happening. Instead, people who should be
instrumental in solving the problem - Gov. M. Jodi
Rell and Mayor Eddie Perez - are exchanging snarky
letters through the media, arguing over who said what
when.
To what end? Isn't it time to play grown-up here? Kids
are dying and the cancer that is the chaos in this
city continues to eat away at the community. And
instead of trying to figure out how to end it once and
for all, our leaders are distracting themselves with
sandbox sniping.
Rell and Perez have been pointing fingers over this
since the middle of last year. And in that time, at
least 179 people have been shot in the city; police
have recorded 23 murders.
Leadership, the kind it will take to save this city,
is about putting politics aside. But neither Rell nor
Perez seem capable of doing that. Here's an idea: Why
not aim the vituperation at the right folks?
City officials say they know who's responsible for the
violence: a small group with no regard for life. Fine,
then target them with this message: You don't get to
terrorize the city you live in. You don't get to kill
innocents without consequence. You don't get to walk
free while imprisoning the community.
People here are scared, angry. Angry, one mother told
me, that she can't let her daughter out to enjoy the
fresh air without fearing it's the last breath she'll
take. "It's just not right," she said.
Tuesday, Kerry Foster Sr. stood on his lawn, flipping
through pictures of his son at a dance, posing with a
smile brighter than the pink shirt he wore.
"Sometimes the bad catch up with the good," he said.
"And they caught up to my son."
