The son of the slain officer is speaking now.
His mom had to raise him and his 2 siblings on
$450 a month. The pain on this man's face is
evident.
While I think Stringfellow is a bit soft on Obadele ("a fascinating scholar???"), he should be commended for speaking up against this event.
The truth is Kenneth Stokes is acknowledged as an extremist and a racist by many blacks in Jackson. It is a very good thing that influential blacks are not sitting by and ignoring Stokes' provocative actions. By contrast, I think many white liberals are perfectly content to ignore his actions. Heck, just look how much attention this incident has received in the Jackson Free Press (NONE as far as I can tell!).
