Dragging death of black man in Paris TX, killers walk free!

Basically I think the spotlight on the racism is Paris, TX is way overdue. I didn’t hear about it I’ve witnesses it growing up and unfortunately I was a vicitim of it on many occasions while living in Paris. Growing up in Paris motivated me to move away and stay away from that town. I have attempted to keep my distance knowing how things are, but when someone looses their life for no reason? when the murderes are allowed to walk free? that’s somethings I can’t digest. I have to stand up I ask anyone who reads this is a reality check, its not a story its a reality check. Please tell someone to tell someone so this can reach the U.S courts, as ususal the Paris system has failed its African “American” citizens. Research about Brandon Mcclelland and spread.

PARIS, Texas – State police in full riot gear rushed a downtown street in this eastern Texas town Tuesday to break up a tense standoff between hundreds of black and white protesters who exchanged screams of “Black power!” and “White power!”

A skinhead carrying a Nazi flag and a shirtless white man were arrested on a misdemeanor charge of suspicion of disorderly conduct before the protesters separated peacefully, Paris police spokesman Lt. Danny Huff said. There were no reports of injuries.

The conflict began with a march through downtown by about 100 mostly black activists who were protesting the state’s handling of the case of a black man who was run over and dragged by a vehicle. The demonstrators avoided a designated “protest zone” near the courthouse and marched to the town square to chants of “Black Power!” and “No Justice, no peace!”

“We’re going to be boxed in?” said protest leader Jimmy Blackwell of the Tarrant County Local Organizing Committee. “No, we’re not your slaves!”

Once at the town square, the crowd ballooned to about 200 mostly black people on one side of a street. Across the street were about a dozen white supremacists, including four skinheads holding Nazi swastika flags. About 30 other white people were behind them, but it was unclear if they were protesting or watching.

The two sides shouted at each other while a dozen or so law enforcement officers were in the street keeping them apart. After several tense minutes of screaming and the groups inching closer together, about 35 state troopers wearing helmets and carrying shields marched swiftly into the crowd. No blows were exchanged.

The rally in Paris, about 90 miles northeast of Dallas, is the third courthouse protest over the death of 24-year-old Brandon McClelland, whose mangled body was found Sept. 16 on a country road outside of town after he was run over by a vehicle and dragged beneath it. A prosecutor cited a lack of evidence in dropping murder charges last month against two white men arrested in his death.

Some of the signs at the protest read, “Friends don’t drag friends under pickup trucks” and “Who killed Brandon McClelland?” Another sign referred to the district attorney as a “Weapon of Mass Destruction.”

The protest was led by members of the Houston chapters of the Nation of Islam and the New Black Panther Party. The Panthers, headquartered in Washington, advocate exemption from taxes and military service for black Americans. They also call for all blacks to be released from prison.

The Southern Poverty Law Center considers the Panthers and the Chicago-based Nation of Islam black separatist groups and hate groups.

Things grew tense early on when a member of the New Black Panther Party walked into the protest zone set up for white supremacists and stood inches away from a skinhead. The skinhead screamed at the black man to go home as they two stood inches away filming each other with their cameras.

“We’re not here for confrontation. We are peaceful people, but if necessary we are prepared,” Blackwell said.

Rock Banks, who says he’s the grand titan of the East Texas Ku Klux Klan, said his group met last week to discuss the event but decided not to hold a major rally because it would lead to more protests.

“If we showed up in force, with all of our robes on, they’d be back here in a month,” he said.

Banks’ wife, Donna Hupburn, said protesters were “trying to stir up racial unrest” and should instead focus on “trying to close crack houses.”

“You’re allowed to have gay pride, black pride, Korean pride,” she said. “Everybody is allowed to have pride but Caucasians.”

Few of Paris’ 26,000 residents watched the rally, which drew several dozens spectators.

Some said they were tired of the attention the protests were bringing to Paris. Roger Hutchings, an employee at a pipe fabrication facility where employees have claimed racial bias, said the Panther-led protest was making the town appear to have a racial problem he does not believe exists.

“These are outsiders coming in from Fort Worth, Denton and Dallas” said Hutchings, who is white. “People here get along pretty good.”

McClelland’s mother, Jacquline, who attended the rally, said she wanted answers about her son’s death “so I can get some rest and my son can get some peace.”

Prosecutors initially charged Charles Crostley and Shannon Finley with murdering McClelland by running him over in Finley’s pickup. They estimated that McClelland’s body was dragged more than 70 feet beneath their vehicle. But a special prosecutor dismissed the charges last month, citing a lack of evidence, after a gravel truck driver came forward and said he might have accidentally run over McClelland.

This was the week Finley’s trial was scheduled to start in a nearby town.

“They dismissed the charges, but we did not dismiss the charges,” said Deric Muhammad of the Nation of Islam. “Today, we declare Shannon Finley and Charles Crostley guilty.”

Crostley’s sister, Tracy White, said her brother was devastated at the death of McClelland, his friend.

She attended the protest and expressed disappointment at the presence of white supremacists.

“They make me mad because my brother is not involved in anything like that,” she said.

Previous protests over the case by the Panthers and the Nation of Islam were mostly peaceful and resulted in no arrests. A handful of white supremacists have showed up each time.

Protesters have said the McClelland case echoes the murder of James Byrd, a black man who was chained by the ankles to a pickup by three white men and dragged to death in 1998 in the town of Jasper.

Authorities, however, have denied there was a racial angle in the McClelland death, pointing out that he was friends with Finley and Crostley. Authorities had said the trio were returning from a late-night beer run across the Oklahoma state line when McClelland died. They alleged the three were arguing about whether Finley was too drunk to drive, and that McClelland decided to walk home. Authorities said Finley then ran over McClelland.

Finley and Crostley, who were released after eight months in jail, have maintained their innocence.

LAPD Makes Undercover House Call to Jackson Doc

Today 5:35 PM PDT by Gina Serpe and Lindsay Miller

The Los Angeles Police Department is turning up the heat on their investigation into Michael Jackson’s untimely death—by actually packing heat for what was supposed to be another meeting with Dr. Conrad Murray.

It’s unclear, however, if cops ever actually made contact with the doctor, who, his lawyer insists, has been cleared as a suspect in Jackson’s death.

Police activity continued outside Murray’s L.A.-area condo for nearly an hour and a half this morning.

Around 10:30 a.m., armed police detectives arrived at Murray’s building in an unmarked gold-colored sedan. The vehicle, driven by a man in a red shirt and aviator sunglasses, pulled into the underground parking garage, but left several minutes and circled the block.

Then, shortly after 11 a.m. a second unmarked police car, this time taking the form of a green-hued sedan, parked in the alley adjacent to the doctor’s condo, pulling up alongside the first detective. Behind the wheel of the second car was an undercover officer wearing a handgun on his hip.

A few minutes later, a police cruiser turned up at the scene and the uniformed officer got out of the squad car to speak with the two detectives.

By noon, all three cars had vanished from the condo’s grounds.

An LAPD spokesperson declined to comment on this morning’s events, citing their “ongoing investigation” into Jackson’s death. A lawyer for the doctor told E! News that Murray has been cooperative and is definitely “not hiding out.”

“As far as we know, [the visit] had nothing to do with our client,” said Miranda Sevcik, a spokesman for Murray’s Houston-based lawyers.

Murray’s luck took a turn for the better later today, when police returned his BMW, which they had seized as evidence last week outside Jackson’s home. The silver sedan has since been spotted parked outside the doctors L.A. residence.

Meanwhile, a source close to the police investigation confirmed today that detectives are focusing their efforts on Jackson’s prescription drug intake, saying that yesterday’s search of the star’s Holmby Hills mansion came after officers obtained two search warrants.

Which was apparently nothing more than a formality.

Los Angeles Assistant Chief Coroner Ed Winter said that the Jackson family was more than cooperative in allowing him and the LAPD into the residence.

“The family assisted us in going into the home,” he told E! News. “I’m not going to comment on whether or not there was a search warrant.”

While investigators have yet to specify what exactly they found in the home, and have so far declined to either confirm or deny reports that needles were among the evidence they collected, they apparently did find a few things of interest, leaving the residence with two large plastic bags.

“They were seeking medications, controlled substances and paraphernalia,” the source said.
