George Is Still Dead

The media likes nothing more than a white rogue cop and desperate black skin followed by a good old fashioned race riot to ignite ratings secure their jobs for millennium, more views higher ratings more ad revenue play it twenty four seven fan the flames blaze it into our heads and so the cycle continues... When was the last time you saw a good cop story with a happy ending? there are millions of them- The media doesn't give it air time because nobody cares to listen. It does nothing for ratings it's a back page cobweb in the making no views-no ad revenue only crickets from the city thicket doesn't fit the narrative- Media loves our misery misery loves company and we have plenty of it. We're being played like an old blues guitar the media butters their bread with black and white blood we're being played like an old blues guitar by a green-eyed media... and George is still dead.

Yup. None of it brings George back,... and the overreaction is sickening, isn't it? -- overreaction of both the 'aggrieved ghetto' as well as the media. ~ Gershon

Hello Anthony Slausin, with all this attention fo the riot and protesting George is still dead. This will not bring him back. Oh-and all that damage, who pays for that? Enjoy your evening my friend.
