Police in Kanas City are investigating whether an attack in which two black teens set fire to a white boy was a hate crime.
The Daily Mail reports the 13-year-old boy was walking home from school last week when he noticed the two older boys were following him. He was on his front porchwhen the teens attacked. They doused him with gasoline and lit him on fire.
“This is what you deserve. You get what you deserve, white boy,” the attackers said, according to the victim’s mother, Melissa Coon.
The boy suffered first-degree burns to his face and hands.
Police say they are investigating this as a possible hate crime.
“It was pretty bad stuff,” said Kansas City Police Department Detective Stacey Taylor.
Coon said she is moving her family away from the area and her son will not return to school, where she suspects the attackers are students.
# 1 : You must be a registered Republican in most states.
# 2 : The rules to become a delegate vary from district and county, you must obtain your bylaws to see what your area requires you to become a delegate. Many cases you just need to register to become a delegate, that simple. Some areas try to make it extremely complicated to keep the avg joe citizen out of the way.
# 3 : In some cases delegates are elected by the members of your local party, in many other cases there are not enough people that register to become a delegate so your area may allow you to be a delegate just by simply you apply to become a delegate.
# 4 : You must learn Roberts rules of order, this is a must, Roberts rules is the language used during conventions and meetings, if you don’t understand roberts rules you will be at an extreme disadvantage.
# 5 : You must show up to every delegate meeting, if you do not, you could and probably will lose your spot as a delegate and your spot will go to an alternate delegate. You must stay in it until the end.
# 6 : If all of your delegates slots are filled, you need to register to become an alternate delegate, the alternates will obtain the spot of a delegate should the delegate not show up for a meeting and the alternate will take their place as a delegate.
# 7 : To become a delegate you must contact your local chairman or officer(s) of the party and ask for the form to register to become a delegate. Make a copy of your signed application for your own records.
# 8 : I encourage everyone who is not a delegate to become one NOW, some of you have probably already missed your chance to become a delegate because the registration process has ended, call your chairman tomorrow.
There is a delegate forum that has been up for months and saw very little interest, so we stopped posting information, if we see the site gain action (people actually posting and asking questions) we will finish the site and continue to post information and answer questions there once again.
If you REALLY want to be a delegate, contact your local Ron Paul Meetup ,ronpaul.meetup.com or
The only way for Ron Paul to become President is if he gets the GOP nomination; The only way for Ron Paul to get the GOP nomination is if we become delegates. As delegates, we’ll be voting to pick the GOP nominee just like the electors in the electoral college vote to pick the President; Delegates determine and decide who the GOP nominee is—it’s that critical!
There hasn’t been a brokered convention for more than 60 years! And the good news is that Ron Paul doesn’t have to win a single state to get the GOP nomination; He just needs to win the delegates! So your delegate vote will count that much more; In other words, Ron Paul can secure the GOP nomination with your vote!
You typically start at your precinct (district) convention as a delegate and work your way up to state, and finally, the RNC; But it may even be as easy as calling your Secretary of State Elections Division, signing some forms and getting signatures! Ron Paul supporters will walk through rain, snow, ice, fire, hazardous waste for this revolution so performing the aforementioned will be a cakewalk.
The GOP nomination will ultimately be decided at the Republican National Convention which will take place in St. Paul, Minnesota. September 1-4, 2008.
Please watch the video below and peruse the instructions on how to become a delegate for Ron Paul. Afterwards, get together with your family, friends, local Meetup groups (ronpaul.meetup.com ) to discuss and organize how to flood your conventions with Ron Paul delegates.
“We Only Have One Shot At This!” – Debbie Hopper, RPCC Assistant Campaign Manager
If we don’t become delegates, then Ron Paul will not get the GOP nomination. If Ron Paul doesn’t get the GOP nomination, then the Ron Paul Revolution is OVER. Don’t let this happen: Become a Delegate!
The Great Erin Brockovich and her Team are set to test ground samples at Leroy High School. That’s good. But the real question serious citizen investigators are asking is this: Will she also dismiss the poisons in the vaccines and their connection to the Tourette-like tics and other symptoms in our children that the mainstream media obstinately refuses to scrutinize! Why? Because they don’t want you to know the truth about Vaccines!
“Condemnation without investigation is the height of ignorance.” —Albert Einstein. In my previouse blog post I have shown the connection to Vaccines, the Tics and Tourette-like illness!
One of the girls’ family member has, in an online forum, released a statement saying that her cousin indeed developed these symptoms just after receiving her third Gardasil shot and Flu Vaccine in Leroy, N.Y.
Once again the Mainstream Media is covering up the the fact that Vaccines can Cause bodily injury. The mainstream news has failed to show the connection between Vaccines and Tics a Tourette-like illness in high school teen girl students at a Leroy High school in NY State.
Much like the Bilderberg group that makes the mainstream press part of the conspiracy of silence, causing them to ignore major story’s that would protect the American people. For Lack of Knowledge My People Perish (Hosea 4:6)
“We are grateful to The Washington Post, New York Times, Time magazine and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost 40 years. It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subjected to the lights of publicity during those years” . David Rockefeller (1991)Bilderberg Group
Shame on you Mainstream Media the People’s blood is on your hands you will all be judged by God one day. “IfYouWarnNotthe People, Their Blood Is onYour Hand! … he is taken away in his iniquity; but his bloodwill I require at the watchman’s hand.”Eze 33 But its seems that the people already have made a judgement against you because your a dying trade.
Vaccine Research
on Thimerosal:
Tics and More
Have you seen any articles in the media emphasizing that thimerosal in vaccines is a cause of tics? Me neither, but we should have.
This article summarizes four studies on the use of thimerosal in vaccines and its effect on neurodevelopmental delays. The research was published between 2004 and 2008.
It is striking that the development of tics was the most common consequence of the thimerosal exposure based on the study of select conditions. We should point out that there is some controversy regarding the statistical approaches used in the different studies, particularly because some studies do not show a link to autism while others do.
To read the abstracts for each study, click on the link below. Our short summary is provided to show the consistent tic connection. As you will see, other neurological conditions were also found to be negatively affected by the thimerosal.
This discovery on the relationship between the toxin methylmercury and the development of tics is hugely important. First, it highlights the relationship between tics and neurotoxins. This should put families on alert that they should not only avoid all exposures to toxins but should also consider evaluation for toxic overload, with follow-up treatment plans developed as needed. Second, given the results of this research, thimerosal exposure should be avoided by those with tics and Tourette syndrome as well as pregnant women. It is currently standard in flu vaccines, but you can request to have the vaccine without the preservative Thimerosal.

Erin Brockovich and Team to Test Ground Samples at Leroy High School
Twelve girls who developed Tourette-like symptoms will undergo more tests this weekend. The National Institutes of Health is stepping in to rule out other possible causes. The girls will have a MRI and get checked for things like Lyme Disease Bacteria. A pediatric neurologist is also coming to town to rule out a disease called Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorders Associated with Streptococcal Infections.”These girls are getting sick like crazy up there. We got four new cases over the weekend,” said James Dupont. His daughter, Brooke, is one of 12 girls who have developed the uncontrollable tics. Doctors treating the students diagnosed it as Conversion Disorder. It means there are real symptoms, but no underlying cause. Back in the day it was called Mass Hysteria. Dupont isn’t buying it and wants the school grounds tested. “If you read news articles from back then engineers were warning them not to build on that land because it was a known swamp and they didnt’ really know the past history of it,” said Dupont.Dupont says he has been contacted by other parents, outside of Leroy, whose children have similar symptoms. In one case, a teenager who lives near Albany, documents her illness on YouTube. Lori Brownell and her classmate both ate at a Leroy restaurant last summer. It could just be a strange coincidence, but Dupont doesn’t want to take any chances. In the next few days environmental activist, Erin Brockovich, is sending a team to test ground samples at the school. “This is about getting the girls the proper help, finding the problem and correcting the problem,” said Dupont. “It’s not about any gain for any one family. That is not our intention. We just want to get the kids better.”
When you think about it, it’s pretty flabbergasting just how much water is a part of our lives. Not only does it comprise roughly 75 percent of the globe, but it comprises almost as much of our own bodies. Water’s a universal element in itself. Universal in that everyone, no matter who we are or what our backgrounds are, rely on this simple substance for survival.
It’s also local. It hits close to home when gas companies want to put something so important at stake, for the sake of buying time in the midst of global climate and energy crises.
If you live in Upstate New York, you are probably well aware that two of the five Great Lakes are practically in your back yard. I consider myself incredibly fortunate to be able to say I live less than 10 miles away from Lake Ontario, one of the largest sources of fresh water for the world. Then, about 20 miles south, are the beginnings of the Finger Lakes region, also a major component of the world’s fresh water resources. Tourism, fine wineries and local marine activities are centered around the indescribable and constant beauty of the Finger Lakes and Great Lakes; but if hydrofracking — the process of pumping millions of gallons of pressurized water, sand and chemicals down a newly drilled well to blast out the surrounding shale rock and gas — is allowed in New York State, all of the beauty and ecology we enjoy could be damaged.
What is unique about this issue is the two major geologic formations that lay below most of Pennsylvania and Western New York State. The one formation we hear a lot about in the local papers is the Marcellus Shale, which is a vast expanse of shale rock that covers most of Pennsylvania, parts of Virginia, West Virginia and the Finger Lakes region of New York. There is an estimated 500 trillion cubic feet of natural gas trapped inside the shale, and from this estimate, there are projections that natural gas could power the U.S. for another 60 years or so, maintaining present energy demands.
However, there has been recent discovery of the Utica Shale, which goes further down into the crust than Marcellus, and geologists estimate there is even morenatural gas. The Utica Shale extends under all of Rochester and even into Lake Ontario. Just when we thought Rochester, N.Y., would be safe from the drillers, we were proven wrong.
Hydrofracking and water go hand in hand, because the former will have devastating effects on our water if New York State decides to lift the ban on hydrofracking. However, gas companies make hydrofracking look like a safe, almost neighborhood-friendly project that will boost the local economy.
Of the plethora of hydrofracking myths, one of the most popular ones is that horizontal drilling will yield an abundance of clean natural gas. I’ve never heard of any “clean” greenhouse gas. The main component of natural gas is methane, which is a very potent greenhouse gas, more so than carbon dioxide.
Here’s another myth: hydrofracking is a 60-year-old, well-proven technology. At a recent lecture I attended, this myth was debunked because in reality the technologies used now for hydrofracking are about four years old. To me, this screams “not enough research!” How can something so young, in terms of technology, be considered safe?
Yet another myth used by the gas companies is that fluid migration is a rare event. This simply means that the fluids used to break up the shale beds (and, keep in mind, this “fracking fluid” contains over 500 different chemicals, many of them carcinogens) have a small chance of reaching into other fissures that could lead to groundwater aquifers. I beg to differ because not only have I seen “Gasland,” the award-winning documentary that revealed the flammable water coming out of faucets in Pennsylvania, but also because that statement just doesn’t cut it. There have been too many incidences of contaminated waste water pools spilling over into fields and high levels of benzene and toluene in parts of Pennsylvania where hydrofracking is very prevalent.
What it all boils down to
This issue is much more than a tug-of-war between gas companies and people concerned about their water quality. Hydrofracking could threaten the quality of life for small towns, and it already has in rural parts of Pennsylvania. The danger from the chemicals used to break up the shale does not stop at the drilling sites; these chemicals, such as benzene, formaldehyde and methane, can leach into groundwater and soil, disrupting aquatic ecosystems and human and animal health.
This is a question of environmental justice, and I believe no one should be subject to harmful chemicals, even if the incentives for hydrofracking tout economic benefit and more jobs. We need to invest our money and energy into developing renewable sources of energy such as wind, solar and geothermal.
If hydrofracking is allowed in my state, all I can think to ask our legislators is this: what kind of world are we leaving for the future? Are we being responsible about this?
I once was told that equity is the key to being environmentally sound and people-oriented. I don’t think destruction of forests and putting local farms at risk of contamination is fair. We keep thinking forward, about change, about furthering economic prosperity. The sad truth is that “our technology is outrunning our common sense.” These are the wise words of Chief Oren Lyons, a leader in environmental awareness. When the drillers come invade the once quiet towns and forested areas of the Northeast, not only are they poisoning our water, but they are poisoning our children’s futures.
Gas companies may say that the natural gas below my feet is abundant and cheap and can power our county for decades to come.
