A stairwell horrors i read a what a mess april 21and it seems to me we could All Tell some sort of a horror Story while living in stairwells in Germany. \. Quo the writer states verbal complaints were made but nothing was done. Several months ago i complained to my stairwell coordinator and building coordinator with both verbal arid written complaints. The complaints were then forwarded up the Chain of command of the base support battalion. Excessive noise racial remarks loud music and banging could be heard from an adjacent apartment As if it were coming from my own. Finally there was an attempted attack in my own stairwell in we moved Here a Little Over a year ago we have seen the aftermath of a baseball pry bar incident with another family who has since moved from this stairwell. / the last Straw is when i was almost attacked in my own stairwell. I pressed charges and the woman retaliated by making an equal Opportunity complaint saying 1 made a racial remark which was never amazes me How people like this can get away with so much.

Danger of Farrakhan sometimes i read an article or piece in the news and i am astonished at what we have become. According to the stars and stripes Louis Farrakhan told a crowd of 6,000 followers at the University of Toledo Ohio that a Whites wont Stop Black on Black violence because it the deaths of Blacks provides Organ such an assertion would almost be funny a something from the realm of tales from the crypt maybe a if it weren to for the fact that there Are a number of people who actually believe it. That people like Farrakhan and his Ever tolerant former aide Khalid Abdul Muhammad have any audience at All much less 6,000, is almost too frightening to be True. After the astonishment subsided the fear set in. Men like Farrakhan have been around a Long have been More than a few others who have been willing to lie hate and sometimes kill in order to further. Their own Petty goals. In this Century alone names like Adolf Hitler Joe Mccarthy and Vladimir Zhirik Rio sky come to mired. For All his rhetoric about being a Man of god Farrakhan is As far from god As these three. Men like Farrakhan Are very Good at packaging their product but no matter How Good it looks it still boils Down to hate fear and baseless blame. Despite the insanity of Farrakhan swords there will be those who believe him. In this lies the danger. It is up to each of us to speak out and expose men like Farrakhan for what they Are self absorbed demagogues whose lust for Power has blotted out whatever morals they Ever Thomas Hood said evil is wrought by want of thought As Well As want of a Kenneth c.
