Marching the flag covered fallen into the area now. Soldier saluting along the side.
*sigh*
Thanks for this info. Staggers the mind. Such a show of unity.
Seating capacity of Tacoma Dome is 22,500.
Just announced: Due to the length of the procession the memorial service is being delayed 45 minutes to 1 hour.

That gave me chills. The good kind.
I/we cried all day but now I feel better. We saw an Orthodox priest at the Tacoma dome blessing one of the caskets, and somehow that was helpful. I am guessing that at least part of some family there today are Orthodox, and that is our faith, so it was a nice feeling to see the priest there.
When I pulled out of our driveway to come to work, it looked like some "voluntary runoff" from the procession. A short line of Pierce County sheriff vehicles going right by the house from the McChord area.
I hope all the criminals and especially the cop-haters and wannabe-killers got the message today.
I may ask for your help. I was trying to get a website shut down called ghettobraggingrights - look for it. I emailed their service provider a few times and they have not responded saying they will shut it down. It's one of those sites where they are saying Clemmons was a hero.
I am going to check tomorrow and if it is still up, I am thinking people here on FR could help by freeping them to get it off the web. What are your thoughts?
Again, much love and hugs to you both.

I’m relieved and happier now that I’ve heard from you. I know you’ve had a long day. When you have time, check all your pings and read the posts from 21twelve as well. The three of us were on two other threads, watching the procession and funeral online.
(((((HUGS to amom and 2112))))
I’ll look for that site tomorrow.
I’m not sure that I could have the strength like those kids had to relate how their Dad would say he doesn’t hate the guys he arrests. I’m sure in most cases he sees the drug addicts and the folks that make “poor choices” and I can understand. Not with this scum Clemmons though.
After watching that Memorial, it would suit me just fine if all those that helped that scum would get life.
With regard to that website, there is a Freeper that has a ping list to shut down terrorist youtubes when they have a video of one of their IEDs hitting our troops. Not the same thing, but perhaps close enough. I’ll keep my eyes open for him.

It was information received from a State Senator. Unfortunately, it has not been picked up by the media. I can only speculate why.

Details please. Names, links, etc. I have been looking and am unable to verify this. Any help you can offer is appreciated.
Your wish is my command.
Thanks! I look forward to your post.
Black Muslim Group called Seattle Black Foot Soldiers celebrates Brother & Martyr Maurice Clemmons he also became a member of the Nation of Islam while in Arkansas!
Here is the link to that article:
The above link corroborates what was known by a Washington State Senator. He certainly got it from a better source than we would. He may have received it from the FBI. I am sure there will be more information on the web as time goes on.
There will be more coming out in the trials of Clemmon’s friends and family members who were arrested for rendering aid to him. Much information is locked up in court documents that will be used in those trials.
The information about Clemmon’s $2,000 bail payment was seen on his booking papers for the rape of the two little girls. I have that information from those who were given special privilege to see those papers. I don't know how to get access to those papers. Pierce County may have them available on line.
