Christa Pike was a victim of sexual abuse from the time she was a toddler. Rather than see her as a traumatized child, the juvenile system labeled her delinquent and denied her the care & protection she needed. This is true of many people facing execution. But Pike was so young. A horribly sad case.

Raped repeatedly as a toddler. Again at age 11. Again at 17. First suicide attempt at 12. Beaten with a belt repeatedly by her dad. Left to crawl among dog feces as a baby. Damaged frontal lobe after her mom drank heavily when pregnant. The death penalty is barbaric, period. But especially here.

Christa Pike was sexually abused and raped from the time when she was a toddler until almost a year to the day before she was arrested in 1995 at age 18 for murdering fellow teenager Colleen Slemmer when the two attended a job training program for troubled youth in Knoxville.

“The worst place ever I’ve been in my life," Sakariye Abdi Mohamed, a Somali asylum seeker, told me over the phone from Guantanamo Bay last week. Sakariye is one of 7 or 8 Somalis who are being held at Gitmo. They say guards tell them the order to keep Somalis at the facility comes from DC.

At 18, Christa Pike was sentenced to death for murder. Now Tennessee is days away from executing a victim of multiple child rapes, multiple rapes beginning in preschool. As a child, she made several attempts at suicide beginning at 12. During sentencing as she was rep'd by a newly minted attorney.

We are a broken nation. Hundreds of thousands of Haitians were living and working legally, paying taxes, and contributing. Haiti remains wholly unsafe. But Trump hates Haitians, and the White House wanted videos of Black people in chains, so they stripped them of status and turned on the cameras.

"The real trouble with us professors was that we were absorbed in our day-to-day tasks. Most of us can say with some justice that we were good workmen. Is it equally true to say that we were good citizens?" Marc Bloch, 1940.
The movements of the Stock Exchange vary according as the fluctuation of current prices are or are not known to the aggregate of shareholders. But of what is the general mind composed if not of a multitude of individual minds which continually act and react upon one another? For a man to form a clear idea of the needs of society and to make an effort to spread his views widely is to introduce a grain of leaven into the general mentality.
By so doing he gives himself a chance to modify it to some small extent, and, consequently, to bring some influence to bear upon the course of events which, in the last analysis, are dictated by human psychology. The real trouble with us professors was that. we were absorbed in our day-to-day tasks. Most of us can say with some justice that we were good workmen. Is it equally true to say that we were good citizens?

This cruelty has no need but cruelty. Haiti remains deeply dangerous; a country in the throes of anarchy. Hundreds of thousands of people are SAFE. They are safe. They are safe here and the nation has decided to make them unsafe. We are embarking on a tragedy and we cannot look away. We cannot.

This is a pretty clear cut principle:
Cher: So, OK, like right now, for example, the Haitians need to come to America. But some people are all, "What about the strain on our resources?"

 
	
But it's like when I had this garden party for my father's birthday, right? I said RSVP because it was a sit-down dinner. But people came that, like, did not RSVP. So I was, like, totally buggin'. I had to haul ass to the kitchen, redistribute the food, squish in extra place settings. But, by the end of the day it was, like, the more the merrier!

 
And so, if the government could just get to the kitchen, rearrange some things, we could certainly party with the Haitians.



 
	 
And in conclusion, may I please remind you that it does not say "RSVP" on the Statue of Liberty.

 

 

Thank you very much.

Requiring real names, and the architecture that implies to regulate it, is dangerous in the extreme, and supporting it is stupid and naive. There's just a huge chunk of comfortable White people who yearn to feel the sole of a boot on their neck at all times. Like a thunder shirt for obedient fools.
