Please call your local papers and

A brother named Roy Veal, just got lynched in
Mississippi on Friday. He was the cousin of one
of my best friends. Roy lived in Seattle and
had gone to Mississippi to help his family
secure their property that a white man was
trying to take from them (oil was found on the
land). Please circulate this article to your
list, to people you know who have list
and the media. This needs national and
international media coverage ASAP.
Roy was a Vietnam vet who survived Vietnam only
to come home and be lynched in
Mississippi. He was found hanging from a
Mississippi tree on Friday morning.
For more information people can call the Sheriff
Pip Jackson, of the Wilkerson county Mississippi
Sheriff's office. The sheriff is black. His

People could find whoever did this also without the involvement of an inherently racist police system taking orders under FBI/CIA US imperialism..
what about all the African/Latino/working class European/Indigenous Notre American prisoners, are they allied with law enforcement?
People could find whoever killed this man using a sacred tree for violence against another sacred human being..
Bombs are still falling from US military planes on mosques in Fallujah, Iraqi children are still dying from cancer, so are US vets from Desert Storm, the first anti-Islam oil siezure campaign by the US government/petrochemical complex..
Africans in the US military are currently functioning as controlled slaves to enrich the capital of elite petrochemical corporate executives and their politician puppets (GW Bush, Ariel Sharon, Yassar Arafat, Saudi Royalty, Bin Laden (Bush's golf buddy), and recent CA HUMVEE owner, Arnold the Martial Law Hydrogen Man (now give USA your river rio Colorado water agua)..
if you have family in the military, ask them to be sent home..
love is stronger than greed and hatred..
Cascadia does not support the current incarceration of non-violent drug arrests detained in racist prisons like Susanville (High Desert) and Crescent City (Pelican Bay). Some people are locked up for being African featured and smoking medicinal ganja, signs of a racist system. Violence perpetuates itself through racist wardens controlling working class rural guards who encourage racially segregated prison gangs to continue the cycle of violence..
People can overcome this oppressive system by working together, understanding one another, and standing up to the corporate police state this country has become. Racism and murder is a more extreme manifestation of a system racist at the core, prisons and military is another..
Depending on a racist police state that employs African officers will only bring disappointing results..

if you wouldn't mind verifying the veracity of your incitements to uprising you perhaps would have more respect as a news publication. for example, a quick google search on this story gets you:

According to the source, autopsy reports show that Veal’s death was
consistent with a suicide. The source said pictures of Veal’s body
showed no bruises on his face and burnt papers were not found at his
feet, which had been previously reported.
The source said Veal’s sister, Doris Gordon, who lives in California,
alerted the media that her brother had been lynched.
The source also said Veal’s immediate family members are aware that
Veal’s death appears to be a suicide, but for some reason, are not
telling extended family members. Rumors that oil was found on the land
family members were disputing with a white man over, are false, said the
source.
