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)

Foster is to real journalism as Joseph Goebbels was to German journalism.

Always repeat the “Big Lie” because there are enough fools out there who will believe it, esp. in Trenton, one of New Jersey’s traditional cesspools.

I’m sure of one thing....his last words were not “What time does the library close?”

The last thing to go through Mike Brown’s head was a bullet.
