I haven't sort out my thoughts in regards to BLM. All blacks do not think alike. We do not all vote alike. I am on the sidelines, with a bag of popcorn, watching all this stuff unfold. I didn't attend any meetings. I seldom hear any speeches. I listen to my pastor at church. Sometimes Rep Sheila Jackson Lee stands up and has a word on what is going on in DC. She is a member and is a 2nd or 3rd generation 7th day adventist. Sometimes I go visit the church in the Woodlands. They are a bit more conservative there but they don't let that get in the way of bible prophecy. I don't quite have a grasp of current trends.

It is a lot of things. Church and religion play a big part. I know one guy from sugar land who elevated to where he is now the interim President of the Univ of Arkansas. Dr Charles Robinson. Another guy from a single parent home in Detroit, who is now a cabinet member in the WH. Talking about Ben Carson. Another guy from a single parent home who is now the senate chaplain, Dr Barry Black.

One pulled from the fire:

Ion k. My wife worked as a clerk in a bank. She paved the way for our daughter to work at the same place p/t while she went to college. Now she is a VP with a mba. Some progress has been made. Obviously more is needed. When those young guys do stuff like that it makes it harder on the rest of us. Don't think for a moment I don't feel it.

I was around for the MLK assassination. Information back then moved at a snails pace compared to now. Back then you would have to wait until the next day's paper to see pictures. Or wait until Look magazine, or Life or Ebony came out in a week or a month. By then the news cycle probably had shifted.

I actually pay attention to 1/8th of what is posted here.

Yes. I forgot to mention her name. I posted that in the we hours of the morning.

One of the few places I hear about BLM or Black Lives Matter is in this section of this msg board. I've never seen a member of BLM. I've never seen a meeting place. Probably a good thing cause somebody would probably bomb it. Maybe if I attended the recent protests I would have seen some. Protests are too volatile for me. BLM so I stay at home. I didn't need BLM TO know that my life matters. Black people were created by the same God that created everyone and everything else. God is going to reconcile the deaths of those killed and murdered. Maybe it was homie down the street or the local police the situation will be investigated. Maybe not in this life but for sure in the judgment to come..

In the mid nineties I worked for Texas Workforce Commission. I was a civilian employee at dps. Ever since I started working there they were begging for troopers to apply.

Well, there was this lady. She died in 1915, somewhere around there. :Many consider her a prophet of God, I a one of them. She has a lot of haters too. Really true prophets are seldom popular with the general public. She predicted that what is happening in Chicago is mild compared to what will happen to most cites in this country and around the world. She saw that many of the tall buildings, if not most of them, will be leveled. Back in 1835 the civil war was unthinkable. There was a lot of hot debate but hardly anyone expected a war. She was in attendance at a church, a relatively small church. She stood up and told the congregation that five or six families in that church would lose sons in that war. Sure enough, when the war was over, it happened. just as she said. She also had things to say about 9/11. She said tall buildings would fall in NYC. At the time the tallest building was maybe 8 to 10 stories. At one time she was living in Australia. The Lord had told her to move there and help establish institutions down there. Here in the USA she was in on a lot of important committees in the church. Some guys in the church tried to do some back handed stuff regarding a project, etc. They had set a soon date to vote their plans into business. The Lord told her before hand to leave and go back and be at that meeting. Back then it would take at least a month to travel from Australia to the USA. When the meeting was called she was the first one there, sitting on the front row. Many other stories like this.

I talked with people from Chicago when I worked for dps. One of the fundamental things people have to get done when they move to a different city and state is get a local ID or driver license. Some take care of it right away, some wait until the last minute. You can almost tell where things are going good by the amount of people moving in to Houston and Texas from that state. I talked to people from Chicago almost every day. Many of them say that Chicago overall is a great place to live. Certain areas are out of control, but most of Chicago is very nice. I have never sat foot inside the Chi city limits so I have to take their word for it. Most of the negativity I hear about Chicago comes from this message. I am certain people here are getting their information from places like Breitbart. My world view is strongly influenced by my seventh day adventist belief system. It is a very biblical and prophetic belief system. God was not caught off guard by recent events. It says in His word and I can quote book and verse, that He doesn't do anything, or allow anything to happen unless he first tells His servants the prophets. I've been hearing about things happening now since I was 8 or 9. I wasn't told precise events I was told events similar to what is going on today would happen. So I am surprised somewhat but I am not totally surprised. I've been watching things, again since I was a boy. Sometimes I start to let my guard down, so to speak, then something wild and unusual would happen. And I would say to my self, yep, that's a sign.

This happened 8 to 10 years ago, way before more recent incidents had made it to the news. Before Ferguson,before that guy was shot in the back in Charleston SC, before all the recent ones. I think about it all the time. I live in my own little world. I go to work, or I did, then back home. I drive to church, then we go out to eat, to a high school basketball game occasionally, and that's it. My wife likes to stay home as much or more than I do. I watch shows like the 1st 48, drugs inc, but that is about as close as I get to it. Meanwhile it is a real war going on. All kinds of stuff comes through H town on the highways. The good guys have guns, and the bad guys do too. Crazy.

I was almost shot by HPD. It probably would have been fatal. And truthfully it was all my fault. Let me tell the story, but first I got to set the scene. I was working at a dps office in Houston. We were shut down for renovations, for the 2nd time. I could go into details about the renovations but it would take too long. I didn't have a car then so I decided to go to the office that was the closest or easiest to get to by bus. Then I bought a small 6 cylinder ford ranger pickup from a dealership in that area. We had too many workers for that small office so they split us into three shifts. The good shift was from 730 to 430. The 2nd best was from 8 to 5. The worst shift was from 10a to 7pm, We all hated that shift. The public didn't know we were open. It was totally dead. Anyway it was on a Friday. As soon as it turned 7. I jumped into my truck, glad to be off glad for the weekend. I had a good stereo head unit & Jimi Hendrix was ripping thru machine gun. I turn at a corner without stopping much. It annoyed me that I would fail some person for not stopping at a stop sign. My decision would get over ruled to keep the public happy. So I figured I would drive like that too. If you can't beat em join em. Wrong. I started going North, then I turned at a stop sign going East. Wide open street, nobody around, or so I thought. Music is loud, Jimi is doing his thing. Then I noticed red & blue lights in my rear view mirror. OH Oh. Two of three times a day I would help fire men, and police officers with their license renewals, etc. I enjoyed doing that. I thought we were all on the same page. Truth is they don't pay attention to who you are, no more than you do them. Nothing racial. They just wanted to get their license done and get out of the crowded office. Same with civilians. Anyway, the LEO had me pulled over and he said over the loud speaker for me to get my license out, etc. I had this brain freeze of an idea that I would get out of my truck go back & talk to the officer, let him see who I am, that guy at the dps office, and this would all go away. Instead he yelled at me in a panicky loud voice: get back in your truck!! I didn't even look at him. I knew he had a pistol pointing at me. I was real close to getting plugged with a. 9mm or a 40. So I got back into my truck, and was glad to be in there too. I could hear him on the radio getting information, checking me out. Finally he came up to window and asked "why did you get out out your vehicle. Only thing I could say was I did it because I was stupid. Those were my exact words. He asked me where I was coming from. I told him I worked at the dps office down the street. As soon as I said that I could feel the tension easing up a bit. Then he said if you work for dps then you know you have to stop at a stop sign right? He had me on that one. So he wrote me a ticket. He could of lit me up good, but he wrote it in such a way that I could take defensive driving and get it all forgotten eventually. And that is what I did. For the record, in case someone is keeping score, he was not a white cop. He was Asian, probably Vietnamese.

HPD seldom patrols in my neighborhood. Technically I am just outside the city. The line of demarcation is blurry. Usually all you see around here are constables. That is how I know they have some sort of task force or viigilence going on. Can't say that I blame them. Just doing their job. We are experiencing some strange things. Usually ugly incidents will blow over and people will move on with living. Two weeks of protests etc is unusual. They had riots and protests on a national level over the Vietnam war and just after the killing of MLK (yes I am that old) but those only lasted a few days. Nothing like this. Also, the police station getting burned down in Minneapolis and the one getting shot up around here, I don't recall that happening before.

I know a few troopers but I don't know anyone at HPD. More than anything I was trying to get off with just a warning and I did. Those stop sign tickets cost about $200.00. My budget is tight right now. Those rolling stops or California stops are always troublesome. When I was living in California briefly they called them Berkley stops. I conducted lots of road exams at DPS. On several occasions I failed a person for rolling thru stop signs instead of stopping. Some of them were young teens. They would go back crying and the supervisor was more on their side than on mine. But LEOs will ticket you for those stops, if they feel like it. It is a good thing that they got rid of surcharges. With surcharges I routine ticket could end up costing a person close to a thousand $ dollars.

Hey. I just drove to the local Krogers & I got pulled over. I came up on a 4 way stop and sort of rolled stopped. 95% of the time that kind of stop is okay. But they HPD are practicing zero traffic tolerance probably because somebody shot up a HPD police station in the SE. They gave me a warning. They were nice. I was even nicer.

A possible blm / Geo Floyd rally in Vidor? Nah. Just the idea is way out there. What will 2020 come up with next.

Race & racism is just one thing to be wary of. Evil is colorblind. it permeates every color and culture. Someone who will sell drugs to you so that you will get hooked and they can make a profit is not your brother or friend. Also many black people intrinsically know that the life of another black person is relatively cheap. So, they can take you out, for whatever reason, and they get locked up. Get out early for good behavior. Meanwhile you are gone. The bullet didn't care what the color of the finger was that pulled the trigger.

I will say this: I've worked in a police type environment.. I speak in the past tense because I retired at the end of May. I miss it, but gotta move on. I would be remiss if I did not say that I have had police officers help me, white police officers at that. I am in agreement with Romans 13. God ordained LE. If there wasn't some type of restraint society would be in total chaos. Police have a hard job. I had a chance to become an officer once. But I know me. I'd be sitting in prison right now for over reacting & blowing somebody away. So, I salute what police do.

Like I said, just about every day or night. [Hidden Content]

1. They happen almost everyday. There have been some questionable things that have happened in just the last 8 to 10 days. But if you don't have a smart ph video to prove that it happened it gets swept under the rug. 2. They got pictures of that guy in a KKK uniform. He is not a cop, but he's stopping a guy in the middle of the street so he can summarily execute death. In Brunswick GA. Sounds like mentally imbalanced southern white male vigilantism to me. That is not racism on my part. That's basic American history.

That's a good part of what I am sick of. A bunch of endless sniping. If I cared I'd have to trace back to find where I am accused of lying. As for me being racist, I don't think that I am, but if that is your conclusion so be it. I don't value you or your conclusions and opinions about me or anything else.

I am tired of this topic. Nothing will really change. The things like what happened to GF happen just about everyday, every night. All I can say is do what's right, be wise as a serpent, harmless as a dove. Stay prayed up. Racism is a subset of evil. Satan is not about to let one of his prized tools of destruction fall by the wayside. When he is destroyed evil will be totally destroyed. As for GF and his short comings, dude is dead. He paid the ultimate price. He can't feel. Kicking him around now is a waste of time.

Read revelation 13, with emphasis on verse 11. Also read America in Prophecy aka The Great Controversy.
