Kelly

ever wonder what happens to the mentally ill when they run out of money? after 37 years of struggling with schizophrenia & enduring the pleasures of homelessness, (which the empire wields oh so well upon its citizens) kelly thomas was beat & tasered into human mush on july 5th, in fullerton, ca, after 6 officers of fullerton’s finest took it upon themselves to break the bones in his face, destroy his insides with internal bleeding & shock his body through a series of pistol-whips to his head with the taser gun, the whole while screaming for his father in between gasps of “i can’t breathe! i can’t breathe!”--- this inability to breathe was later found to be due to all of the internal bleeding which inevitably choked him. having been admitted to the hospital already clinically brain-dead from the ordeal, this man who “trusted the police,” was found to have no drugs in his system, nor had he any stolen property on his person--- his father, a retired police officer himself, has said that these officers did not just beat his son, but “aggravatedly murdered” him. so, if six schizophrenics took it upon themselves to beat the face of a cop into oatmeal, shocking him with tasered blows to the head & then topping the whole thing off with internal bleeding that came from repeated kicking & clubbing to his torso, would there be any more of a faint whisper in the media as kelly’s story has brought? or, because he wears his holy uniform, would we be hearing about it for the next 6 months as it plastered the front page of every newspaper from new york to la?
