What happens to innocent men in Gadsden, Alabama



If you are a white man you are merely banned from the mall.



Scottsboro Boys accused of raping 2 white women, found guilty in spite of fact one of the women recanted her story.



A judge with one big smiling face said they were wasting money to bother with a trial.

326 lynchings in Alabama in the 19th century. Black men accused of rape or attempted rape of white women. Whites lynching when they felt it was necessary to protect white women.

Yet Judge Roy Moore has the gall to talk of a "witch hunt" and call his underage accusers liars whose mothers gave him permission to ask them out.

In the 21st, no white man can be blamed for deflowering innocent girls who ask for it by getting in his car. Why do I think if Judge Roy Moore was a black man, he'd have been convicted years ago and would still be incarcerated today?

"unqualified support..." "undisguised pleasure" that "national leaders unable to oust Moore..." "A parade of Christians activists" and hypocrites renewed their support for Moore. "A man of God..." We will "follow Roy Moore into the kingdom of our god..."

I am going to keep posting as the urge hits me the rest of the weekend. That's how sick I am of it all. We may have to hand out barf bags.

7. How Roy Moore views himself
Fri Nov 17, 2017, 06:51 PM
Nov 2017

A Southern gentleman: a man of
chivalric manners and good breeding; a man of good social position; a man of wealth and
leisure. Aristocratic at heart, Victorian in his manners, the
Southern man was characterized by autonomy, self-discipline, and integrity, combining all the
elements of older chivalric codes with an acute sense of private and caste power. They had the single-minded
conviction that God had put them on earth to rule, protect the southern belle as well as the
values of the south.

How I view him:
A Class C Felon. Statutory serial rapist.
