I think there’s some significant and understated tragedy in the Brick referencing Javert’s heart as being made of wood as opposed to the Musical, where it’s referenced as made of stone.
Stone is not alive.
Wood was once a living, growing thing, murdered by time, circumstance, or to arguably serve some greater purpose.
Documents show that Southaven officers went to the wrong house to serve a warrant on Monday, which resulted in the shooting death of a man who did not have any active warrants out for his arrest.
Officers missed their target by 36 feet.
Those 36 feet made all the difference to Ismael Lopez and his wife.
Officers said Lopez came to the door pointing a gun at them. Those officers claim to have asked Lopez multiple times to drop the gun before they started shooting.
But, neighbors said they didn’t hear anything like that.
“I didn’t hear yelling,” neighbor Nicholas Tramel said.
Tramel’s room is right next to the Lopez home. He said he never heard police tell Lopez to put his rifle down.
So, police officers literally just killed an innocent man, who has never done anything wrong , they also probably lied about the incident. Just another normal day in America. Will his family ever get the justice? Probably not. And what’s even more devastating is that media decided to stay silent about this case. Totally innocent man was killed by the police officers,who didn’t bother to check everything before shooting a person and everybody remain silent. I’m done.
for those who’ve recently been trying to say that antisemitism is no longer a problem or that jews take up too much space talking about it: literally three days ago a family who lives just a few min away from me had the word JEW spray-painted on their house w/ a swastika on each side
when we’re talking about antisemitism we’re not just talking about the few that make the national news—the graveyard desecrations, the hundred something bomb threats, etc, etc. we are talking about neighbors. we are talking about jews who frequent the same places we do. we are talking about kids [the kids, sadly, saw the tag] who go to school with my rabbi’s kids
literally, if i had a mezuzah on my door like they do, i could have been the one with the swastikas on my wall, given how close i am
