‘We called for help, and they killed my son,’ North Carolina man says

70 seconds: That’s how long a North Carolina family says it took for things to go horribly wrong after they called police for help with their mentally ill son.

 

Community Village‘s insight:

 

If you call the police for “help”, be aware that the police carry guns. The police will use their guns if they feel their life is being threatened.

Dad Calls Cops on Son to Teach Him a Lesson, Cops Shoot Son Dead

A father’s attempt to teach his son a lesson for taking his truck without permission ended in tragedy Monday after a local police officer shot the teenager dead.

 

Community Village‘s insight:

 

Never call the cops on your kids or family or friends, unless your life is in danger.

 

The cops have guns and will use them if they feel it’s necessary.

 

The officer was told to back off – but never did.

1860 Wiyot Indian Massacre

1860 Wiyot Indian Massacre

Indian Island, Humboldt Bay, California

Indian Island, Humboldt Bay, California

In the early hours of Feb 26 1860 the Whites began their 2 day massacre (up to 5 days by other accounts) on at least 12 CA Indian sites. Dulawat village on Indian Island, on the lower Eel River, at least two locations on the South Spit, at Table Bluff, in the Fortuna area, in the Rio Dell area, at Humboldt Point, several ranches on Elk River, and the village of Kutserwalik at Bucksport.

Cousins Matilda and Nancy Spear gathered up their three children at the start of the massacre and hid with them on the west side of the island. Afterwards, they found seven other children left alive. They put the entire group in a canoe, rowed them across the bay, and then walked to Matilda’s husband’s homestead in Freshwater.75 Nancy later described the massacre to her nephew: “They came like weasels in the night, crawling on their bellies. We were without any men to protect us. We had never fought the white men and had thought they were our friends.”

Community Village‘s insight:

 

I hear stories every year about men who take vengance out on their own family.

 

How do we best teach men that they don’t have the right to murder?
