teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

After discovery of more than 300 graves on property site, FrankCrum sues city of Clearwater

WTSP

Quote:The discovery of more than 300 graves from an erased Black cemetery property on the FrankCrum staffing firm along Missouri Avenue has prompted a lawsuit from the company against the city of Clearwater for the removal of the remains.

The lawsuit, filed in the Pinellas County Circuit Court on Sept. 29, says it seeks to "recover damages for the local government’s failure to take accountability for mishandling a historic African-American cemetery."

In 2019, long-time residents of Clearwater's Black community came forward to the NAACP with memories of the St. Matthews Baptist Church cemetery and concerns that graves might still be on-site at FrankCrum, which sits atop where the cemetery was once located.

Between 2020 and 2022, archaeologists used ground-penetrating radar and archaeological digs to confirm 328 graves. They believe there are more.

“Since we first became aware of the potential that graves were still on this land, FrankCrum has been working closely with our local community members, the NAACP and the City to find a resolution that corrects this wrong and that honors the departed and their loved ones,” said Matt Crum, co-president of FrankCrum in an email statement.

Good for the crowds. Nowt wrong with wanting to get shut of fossil fuels, but this strikes me as kind of a pointless venue for a demonstration. Go handcuff yourself to a petrol pump, ffs.

No one claimed that eco-terrorism is easy. Or safe.

Quote:MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Federal customs agents pooh-poohed the plans of an Iowa woman who wanted to make jewelry from giraffe feces she picked up on a trip to Kenya and brought back to the U.S. in her luggage.

The woman declared the small box of feces when she was selected to have her belongings inspected upon arriving at the Minneapolis-Saint Paul Airport on Sept. 29, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection.

The woman, who was not identified, told officials she planned to use the waste to make a necklace, as she had done in the past with moose poop.

Giraffe poop can be brought back to the U.S. with the proper permits and inspections, according to Minnesota Public Radio. The station reported that the woman won’t face sanctions because she declared the feces and gave it to Customs.

The agency’s agriculture specialists destroyed the giraffe poop.
