The police were called one evening around the 18th of March 2018 from a Sacramento, California neighborhood regarding a young man vandalizing residents’ cars. This was not a young man committing crimes of violence which required a swarm of police officers to arrive in the vicinity of the complaint with guns drawn and a helicopter circling above.
But that is what happened. A 22 year old Black man, Stephon Clark was outside his Grandma’s home with only a cell phone, which means no other implement used in committing acts of vandalism were on his person, when he was confronted by a swarm of law enforcement officers who shouted at him but who then proceeded to fire at least 20 gun shots at him. As soon as this happened, the police muted the sound from their recording machines.
Of course the community of Sacramento is up in arms over…
Martin Shkreli (k/n/a Prisoner “87850-053”) was sentenced to 7 Years in Federal Prison. As he wept, he stated:
“This is my fault. I am no victim here,” Shkreli said, before breaking down into tears as he promised not to let his lawyer Benjamin Brafman down in his efforts to contribute to society.
Justice has been served on all the citizens who suffered when he surreptitiously raised the amount of an HIV Medication from $13.50 a pill to $750.00 a pill. He exhibited no remorse. Prisoner 87850-053 even had the unmitigated gall to smirk and laugh at Congress when they attempted to question him regarding his decision. In my opinion, he is Evil. Hopefully jail will turn his life around in prison.
Be always humble, gentle, and patient. Show your love by being tolerant with one another. Do your best to preserve the unity which the Spirit gives by means of the peace that binds you together. (Ephesians 4:2-3)
