“Homeless mother who sent six-year-old son to better school
in the wrong town jailed for five years....”
That was the headline that was attached to this photo and
spread around Facebook …
I do not know whether this story is true or simply a
fabrication of some mindless person wishing to further the Obama agenda of
division…in this case division between white/black, rich/poor,
educated/uneducated. The story hits his agenda on so many levels. To be fair…I
will show the story, as it was written, below
and you all can make up your own minds about what is going on here…
“A mother who pleaded guilty to fraudulently enrolling her
six-year-old son in the wrong school district has been sentenced to five years
in prison.
Tonya McDowell sent her son to an elementary school in
Norwalk, Connecticut, instead of her home city of Bridgeport.
The 34-year-old, who was homeless when she was charged with
felony larceny last year, said she wanted the best education possible for the
boy.
McDowell last week entered her plea at Norwalk Superior
Court under the Alford Doctrine, which means she does not admit guilt but
concedes the state has enough evidence to convict her.
Authorities told the hearing that she used a babysitter’s
address to enroll her son in kindergarten in Norwalk when he should have
attended schools in Bridgeport, her last permanent address.
Her case drew national attention and support from civil
rights leaders and other advocates who wanted the charge dismissed.
McDowell told police she was living in a van and
occasionally slept at a Norwalk shelter or a friend’s Bridgeport apartment when
she enrolled her son Norwalk’s Brookside Elementary School.
Police said McDowell stole $15,686 worth of ‘free’
educational services from Norwalk.
She also pleaded guilty to four counts of sale of narcotics,
which will be included in her prison sentence.
In a separate case, she pleaded guilty on February 7 to
selling drugs.
McDowell’s lawyer, Darnell Crosland, said she agreed to
accept a plea bargain rather than continue fighting the charges even though she
insists she is not guilty.
Mr Crosland said: ‘You shouldn’t be arrested for stealing a
free education. It’s just wrong.’
McDowell was sentenced to 12 years in jail, suspended after
she serves five years, and five years’ probation.”
Ok…so, let me get this right…this woman committed fraud in
an attempt to get her son enrolled in a school he did not qualify for. She also
was charged with 4 counts of sale of narcotics, to which she pleaded guilty.
She is sentenced to 12 years jail, suspended after 5 years.
Oh, don’t forget the drug charges…that are included in her prison sentence.
Now, I ask you…what is she going to jail for? In truth, the
article does not say…it cleverly steps around how the prison sentence was calculated…it
cleverly refuses to identify which part of the 12 years was related to the drug
charges and which part to the fraud.
Oh…and it also ignores the fact that she has pleaded guilty
in February on other charges of selling drugs.
So…she is nothing but a drug dealer trying to defraud the
county by fraudulently completing forms that she knew to be lies.
A good solid citizen here, right?
So…we read the article…we see what happened…and we re-read
that headline…” Homeless mother who sent six-year-old son to better school in
the wrong town jailed for five years....”
Would you call this an honest depiction of what happened?
Perhaps a truthful headline such as “Drug dealer jailed for
5 years” would simply not garner any attention?
But this is not what I want to write about today….
I am more interested in the comments on Facebook about this
story….

though the nation our ancestors built, the one we reside in, serves no purpose
to us but to cage us up. History to date has shown us nothing constant
repetitive patterns of injustice. Until then we will continue to be the ones
who suffer injustice mercilessly. We lift you up sister, let the Goddess within

Shariska, I think you are a high school student so I will let off
with your lack of knowledge. However, I
can not let you off with you support for a person who chooses to break the law,
sells drugs to the addicted, and makes choices that result in her being sent to
jail. I can only imagine that your education failed to teach you to read…or you
have chosen to ignore the facts in order to support an agenda that you WISH
were true.
Theloveoflife writes “But it's ok for REAL CRIMINALS 2 roam free,
killing, raping, etc!!!!!!!!!! It seems to me that even in the midst of her
struggle, she still had her son's best interest in mind....I hate the system!!!
U can't trust anyone!!!!! :-(“
She is not a real criminal? She is a drug dealer, you fool. A
person who sells drugs to people who may die from their drug use…she makes her
living dealing death and addiction. Her son’s best interests at heart? You have
to be kidding, right? She CHOSE a lifestyle that would eventually separate her
from her son while she is in jail. And what was she teaching her son? That is
is ok to do anything including lie, cheat, commit fraud and sell death on
street corners as long as it is to better your life. The typical liberal mantra
of the ends justifies the means. You need to stop and think before opening your
ignorant mouth and spouting such nonsense.
Lisa Childs writes...” Sad case of being black..white ppl do
this everyday”
Really, Lisa? White people sell drugs and commit fraud every day?
Let me tell you something , Lisa…the reason a majority of folks in jail are
black is because the majority of the crimes are committed by blacks. White people
are too busy earning a living to be able to stand on a street corner selling
drugs, and thinking up ways to “give it to the man”. You are a fool if you
think this is a racist thing. Read the damn story…this woman is a drug dealer and
deserves her sentence! Her color is relevant only to you and your friends
Sharpton, Jackson and the other race baiters including Obama!
Eion L Decarmo Snr writes…” WHITE WEALTHY WOMEN DO THIS ALL THE
TIME AND IT'S ALRIGHT, A HOMELESS BLACK WOMAN IS A CRIMINAL BECAUSE SHE DIS THE
SAME. WHOSE JUSTICE IS THIS?”
Eion…clearly you can’t read…she is a drug dealer. She is not a
criminal because she is homeless or black. She is a criminal because she sells
drugs and commits fraud. What part of that can you not understand?
Mervin Brochard writes..” I understand that the school doesn't
like that money being used (even though, quite honestly, they're probably hoarding
enough money for droves of homeless families to benefit from), but really. The
kid is there. The mom put an address cause you asked for one probably. What's
the big deal? The babysitter's address? Then let her change it and SHUT UP.
>.>”
Huh? Let me ask you Mervin, what is acceptable action to get your
kid into the school you want him to go to? You clearly believe that fraud is
acceptable, right? I suppose you think that any child has the right to go to
any school he or she wants to regardless of where they live? After all, the
schools are all hoarding the money, right? So, I imagine that since the schools
are hoarding the money, there is no need for you to complain about the schools
not having enough, or the state wanting higher taxes to pay for education…right?
You, sir, are just another ignorant fool
who has no idea what he is saying. Unfortunately, America is full of people
just like you!
Here’s an intelligent one…
Kishna Bodkin writes…” wtf wrong with these ppl in
power........the woman aint even do shit to the child and them want to put in
jail for 5 years.....that judge need to be kill...”
I guess your reading ability is about eaqual to your writing
ability…public education at its finest!
A’nedria Kaba writes…” STILL trying to keep our children
un-educated! Another reason why we must press our children to achive and expect
more for themselves and not believe the lies society has labled them i.e ..
Gang bangers, Drug dealers, underachivers etc.... If our children believe what
society says about them, then they will become that. I and most parents have
high expectations of our children and we will do what we need to do to help our
childrern get a better education so they can grow up as confident Black Men and
Women functioning in the society. I can not judge this mother on that.”
So…you think BEING a drug dealer is the right way to teach your
children? Do you think committing fraud is the right way to show your children
a better way? You are nothing but a hypocrite. The way to break out of the
ghetto is to stop being gang bangers, drug dealers, thieves etc…the labels
society has given are there for a reason…it is true of too many blacks that
they choose that lifestyle.
Enough already. The rest of
the comments are little more than versions of the same crap I have quoted
above.
Now…why did I share this with you?
Because it should serve as a wake up call to conservatives
everywhere.
The single unifying thing about all these comments is that they
were posted by black people. This totally unscientific research should show you
the breadth of the problems facing conservatives as they try to man up against
Obama in November.
Unless conservatives stand up and show the stupidity of the
thinking of the Obama followers at every opportunity, they will continue to
think that every person has a right to do whatever they want to do as long as
the ends justify it. They will continue to ignore reality, and choose what they
want to believe is real.
And the stupid, the ignorant, the under educated, the sound bite
junkies will all gather around what they think will best provide their drug of
choice at election time.
The blacks who are motivated enough to leave their sofas will vote
for Obama – he encourages them to think this way by saying stuff life “Republicans
in Congress would rather put fewer of you to work building fewer things than
ask millionaires and billionaires to live without massive new tax cuts.”
Of course no Republicans have said this, intimated this, or
suggested this…but Obama does not care about the triviality of truth…he cares
only that by saying this to his target audience (the stupid, the ignorant, the
ill-informed and the under-educated) he knows he can create the class and color
warfare that gives them an outlet for their anger, and a hero to follow in
November.
Another piece of Obama Orwellian double-speak that is lapped up by
the stupid, the ignorant, the ill-informed and the under-educated….” I believe
the economy is stronger when collective bargaining rights are protected. I believe all of us are better off when we
have broad-based prosperity that grows outward from a strong middle class. I believe when folks try and take collective
bargaining rights away by passing so-called right-to-work laws that might also
be called right-to-work-for-less laws, that’s not about economics – it’s about
politics.”
You see, the folks who made the comments above did not care about
truth…they did not care about justice…they did not care about reality. The only
thing they cared about is that they could say what they THOUGHT was reality…that
they could get upset, even angry…and use that as a reason for more race
division.
Obama taps into that easily…moving smoothly between race warfare,
class warfare, union v’s non-union warfare…there is no end to the divisions he
can create.
Make no mistake…we are at war and our opponent is far better
equipped to dance from battle to battle effortlessly spreading his lies and
misinformation…desperately trying to create the very thinking that appears in
the comments above.
It seems that he is winning this war…we cannot allow that to
happen!
