Make A Difference.

(Please read this in it’s entirety. You will make a difference in this world!)

Please don’t feel like you are alone. Please don’t feel like you are constantly surrounded by the darkness of the night.

Why? Because you have an entire network of supporters around you. In person, and through this community.

We are each fighting our own battles, overcoming our our greatest roadblocks, and stepping out of our comfort zones. We are each trying, stretching, reaching to get passed our deepest fears.

First, take a moment to think about something that is troubling you. Something that causes you pain, hurt, worry.

Now, please reblog this post. Who ever you happened to reblog this post from, send them a heart. (❤️️)

This heart is a reminder that there is a support system around each of you. To everyone who is currently battling their own war, there is always someone to turn to. There is always a hand reaching out for you.

You are not alone. So please, if you would like to take a moment to support someone else, regardless of who it may be,

Give a heart. Show your support. Empower strength.

A federal judge who sentenced three men to charges from a hate crime investigation compared the death of James Craig Anderson to a modern-day lynching.

Anderson, 49, was beaten and run over by a truck outside Metro Inn on Ellis Avenue on June 26, 2011. The inquiry that followed revealed a group of young white people had been coming to Jackson to harass and assault African-Americans.

Deryl Paul Dedmon, 22, John Aaron Rice, 21, and Dylan Wade Butler, 23, each pleaded guilty in March 2012 to one count of conspiracy and one count of committing a hate crime.

During a hearing Tuesday, U.S. District Judge Carlton Reeves sentenced Dedmon to 50 years, Rice to 18-and-a-half years and Butler to seven years in prison.

"The defendants targeted African-American people they perceived as vulnerable for heinous and violent assaults — hate crimes, motivated solely by race, that shook an entire community and claimed the life of an innocent man," said Attorney General Eric Holder. "These sentences bring a fitting end to the case against these three men. Although nothing can erase the grievous harms inflicted, or ease the grief of the victim’s friends and loved ones, this outcome holds those responsible for these horrific crimes fully to account."

Dedmon, who was driving the truck that ran over Anderson, pleaded guilty in 2012 to a murder charge in Hinds County Circuit Court and was sentenced to two life sentences under Mississippi’s hate crime statute.

The defendants all apologized to Anderson’s family during Tuesday’s hearing.

Brenda Anderson Young, the victim’s sister, said Dedmon, Rice and Butler are evil, white men who dredged up the state’s civil rights history.

Seven defendants involved in related cases are awaiting sentencing.

11,000 people were injured in last summer’s offensive of whom at least 3,500 will have a permanent disability. These photos are of a few of those people. in Gaza many people are living on mounds of rubble, there is no reconstruction and supplies of food are insufficient - children are going hungry and without supplies of clean water. And the illegal siege remains in place with the complicity of the international community. via  X

The Defender is a pepper spray that when sprayed takes a picture of the person you’re spraying and sends it the police along with your GPS location, user information, as well as flashing a bright light in the attackers face and emitting a loud alarm.
