Thank you, Inspector Fenwick, and now back to on scene coverage with an interview with investigating officer Dudley Doright.
Don't forget his two sons.
Prayers for this courageous American.
Thanks for adding,
A man,
Loved and
Respected.
What rocket scientists.....
RIP Bernell Tremmell..
The GOP. So what?
Do you believe slavery was wrong?
Yes?
Then you would have been beaten or lynched in the confederacy.
Why do you care about the confederacy? As a Republican, your legacy is in abolishing slavery. The only thing you have in common with the confederacy is that you were born into the land they once dirtied. That no more ties you to them than it ties young Germans and Japanese to the evils of their past regimes.
But go ahead and pretend the confederacy wasn't what their own documents say it was. If you want to lose the nation to the democrats based on that delusion, then be my guest.
Slavery was not the issue. Absent slavery would you still oppose the South seceding? How about the colonists seceding from Great Britain? How about Ukraine from Soviet Union?
"“When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.”
Based on your comments I would say your sympathies were with the confederacy. Apologies if I'm wrong.
Slavery was not the issue.
According to the confederacy's own statements giving the reason for seceding, it was.
Absent slavery would you still oppose the South seceding?
As long as we are the United States, yes. Read into that what you will.
How about the colonists seceding from Great Britain?
No, I would not have opposed seceding to escape how the king was exploiting his own citizens. That is not the same thing as seceding to preserve slavery.
How about Ukraine from Soviet Union?
Do you equate the breakup of the Soviet Empire with seceding to preserve slavery? If anything, it was the exact opposite.
I just can’t wait until they come to my zipcode.
SPJNK.
...We are waiting for the inevitable nationwide BLM Bernell Tremmell demonstrations...
...
...still waiting...

Here's what the states themselves said.
The Declaration of Causes of Seceding States
Granted they listed other reasons, but slavery appears in all of them. That is the "state right" they were seceding for.
Read them, and tell me you agree with them.
He wasn’t going to vote for Biden, so he wasn’t Black.
So true. Unfortunately your sarcasm tag’s not required because it’s actually true. Yes, that’s the world we live in today.
Sounds like the democrats are bringing back the KKK
