Trenton forum to discuss last words of Michael Brown and Trayvon Martin
The Trentonian ^ | October 23, 2014 | David Foster

In a week that saw the capital city remove a mural that paid tribute to Ferguson, Mo. teenager Michael Brown, who was gunned down by a police officer while unarmed, a forum will be held to discuss the 18-year-old’s last words, in addition to other murder victims.

Playing off the Seven Last Words of Jesus, the Shiloh Baptist Church will hold an event Friday to dissect the last words of seven murder victims, including Brown, Amadou Diallo, Shantel Davis, Jordan Davis, Trayvon Martin, Eric Garner and Renisha McBride. Preachers assigned to discussing each victim’s last words, include Assemblywoman Bonnie Watson Coleman, Rev. Toby Sanders and community activist Darren “Freedom” Green.

“We feel like there’s a need for dialogue and we have to pay attention to words,” said Rev. Lukata Mjumbe, whose nonprofit organization Urban Mission Cabinet is co-sponsoring the event. “We often times talk around the victims of murders, and we’re not being intentional about hearing and considering what it is they’re saying, even from the grave.”(continued)

“Murder victims”?!

So the verdict has already been decided?

By whom, exactly?

Sounds like Mumbo Mjumbo.

I guarantee that the last words of these ghetto thugs, all holderites, were like the 7 words of George Carlin. These sons of obama have a limited vocabulary when it comes to standard English but when it comes to obscenity, they’re at the head of the “class”.

‘Mama, don’t let your sons grow up to be weed toting, purple drank slurping, thuggees’ ... Or something like that ... Maybe a rap version.

This should be countered with imagining what their next words would have been if both had successfully killed their intended victim.

I'll start:

Trayvon Martin:

Hi Jenteal, it's me again baby. Ya' know that gay rapist I tolt youse was chasin me .. I done kilt that faggot!


Michael Brown:

Hey Dorian, help me ditch this dead pig, then we's get what we's wants the pig's car.

“We often times talk around the victims of murders, and we’re not being intentional about hearing and considering what it is they’re saying, even from the grave.”

Victims of "Murders"? Trevon was not the victim of murder. It was ruled self defense. The this latest subject was not a victim of murder. Tell me this, were OJ Simpson's subjects "victims of murder"?

What shall we use as the definition of murder?

Besides, what were their last words? Were they, "Why me?", "What was that for?", "Why'd you shoot me?" Who might be able to assume what their last words were. Or are we being figurative and emotional here in some assemblance of symbolism as an outlet to scream about white racism?

i hope it was “ouch”

More likely was a twelve-letter, four-syllable compound word starting with "m" and ending with "r".

I wonder what deep meaning they'll find in it...

Are they also willing to discuss the last words of all the children aborted at the behest of Planned Parenthood?

Mjumbe said. “People feel as if their lives are not valuable, that lives are easily taken away. The way that a life loses its value the most is when an official authority, a state apparatus, an institution that we’re supposed to trust takes a life, and there’s no consequence for it.”

It has nothing to do with fathers abandoning their families. . nothing to do with baby mommas popping out one mo to fatten the gubment check. . .no. . it has nothing to do with hordes of feral youth lacking a conscience and surrounded by only bad behavior. .and it has nothing to do with the corrupt city leaders, preachers and community organizers that are all on the dole and are PAID to say what they say and do what they do. . . no. . .it has NOTHING to do with that. . .it's just the cops. . GOD HELP US. . BECAUSE THIS WILL ONLY GET WORSE.
