Regrann from @neeshellmybell - Regranned from @kishlb - When the women take hold of a great and crying evil, you may expect revolution — not necessarily a revolution of blood and destruction, yet not necessarily one of peace.” - #LucyParsons #Revolutionary, #radical, #anarchist---these titles barely scratch the surface in capturing the identities Lucy Parsons took on during her life. According to local Chicago #authorities, Parsons was more dangerous than a thousand rioters, and they were right. Parsons’ power was in her pen. Her writings terrified the government so much that the FBI forbid her from speaking in public. Can you imagine? On the same day she died in 1942, the government raided her home and stole 40 years worth of journal entries and books detailing her beliefs on #socialism and #anarchy...left never to be found again. During her early 20s, Parsons fled #Texas with her husband for fear of retribution for their political involvement. Texas officials shot her husband in the leg and threatened to #lynch him for trying to register #Blackvoters. So, they set out for #Chicago. Parsons’ sole mission was to fight for the #poor and #disenfranchised in the face of an #oppressive #american government. Her disdain for the wealthy is clear when she writes, “Let every dirty, lousy #tramp arm himself with a revolver or knife and lay in wait on the steps of the palaces of the rich and stab or shoot their owners as they come out. Let us kill them without mercy, and let it be a war of #extermination and without pity.” The #Chicagopolice arrested her numerous times for the alleged “#crime” of disseminating revolutionary-based pamphlets on the streets. She despised #capitalism and argued that #Blackpeople were oppressed because they were poor, not because they were #Black. She also believed violent and direct actions were the only way to change the capitalist system and ensure workers’ demands were met, which is why the #government tried to silence her. Parsons’ affiliations with the #SocialistParty, #CommunistParty, and dozens of radical newspapers made her a prime target for the #FBI. - #regrann

"SHUT UP #Slave At A #Chicago #Starbucks" #24YrOld #WilliamBoucher caught on Camera launching into a #Violent, #RacistRant, calling a #BlackMan a '#Slave' and comparing him to '#Livestock' suggesting that he should be #Tagged with a #BarCode with his #SocialSecurityNumber after the man apparently spilled some #Coffee on #Boucher’s light-colored suit. “SHUT UP, SLAVE!” Boucher screamed. “DO NOT TALK TO ME!” “Your #CHILDREN are DISPOSABLE #VERMIN!” Boucher continued to yell at a second man who was also videotaping him, before SPITTING in the direction of a 30-year-old man as well as a 34-year-old woman, according to #ChicagoPolice. The man Boucher attempted to SPIT on, identified as #GeraldMitchell, must have #BlackedOut when that happened because he was not about to have it, and rushed up to #Boucher before being held back (sadly) by another bystander. “GET ON ALL FOURS RIGHT NOW!” #Boucher screamed. “GET ON ALL FOURS! DO NOT WALK OFF ON TWO LEGS! YOU DON'T’t DESERVE TO WALK ON TWO LEGS, VERMIN.” The altercation eventually ended after Boucher was seen punching an older man who was walking in his direction to the ground, prompting bystanders to take him down until police arrived. The man Boucher struck had to be taken to the hospital for an eye injury. In #August the #Judge looking at the case and must have realized that there was no #Justice here and issued a no-bond #ArrestWarrant for #Four new #FELONYHATECrimeCharges, and also upgraded the misdemeanor battery charges to felony aggravated battery charges, the Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office confirmed,according to the Washington Post.bond set at $50,000. If convicted, he will face probation or a maximum of five years in prison for each of the four aggravated battery charges that he is now facing. If convicted of the hate crime charges, he faces one to three years in prison per charge. #4evahaka #4evahaka2 Via: #TheRoot

The case is expected to renew debate over police use of deadly force and de-escalation during vehicle encounters.
