The mother of a Black man pursued and killed by white men who said they suspected him of a crime says she is "thankful, very thankful" that Georgia has repealed its Civil War-era citizen's arrest law. Wanda Cooper-Jones, the mother of Ahmaud Arbery, spoke Monday after Gov. Brian Kemp signed House Bill 479, which says bystanders can no longer make an arrest in Georgia if a crime is committed in their presence. |

Hey KABA IT person: Navigating from page to page is painfully slow. I am using a 2 Gb line yet access is as if I am using 56k modem. I mean this can take 1/2 minute or more for a page to materialize. It wasn't always like this but now it is so painfully slow that I often time bail out of this website. Please fix this. I will repeat this post multiple times in hopes you read this and fix this. |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
I do believe that where there is a choice only between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence. Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908 [by an Indian extremist opposed to Gandhi's agreement with Smuts], whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defend me, I told him it was his duty to defend me even by using violence. Hence it was that I took part in the Boer War, the so-called Zulu Rebellion and [World War I]. Hence also do I advocate training in arms for those who believe in the method of violence. I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honor than that she should in a cowardly manner become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonor. — Mohandas K. Gandhi, Young India, August 11, 1920 from Fischer, Louis ed.,The Essential Gandhi, 1962 |
