This is a ‘Serious’ thread, in which insults are prohibited.  Please, EVERYONE bear this in mind, as things have gotten a little heated.

Thank you.

I wondered if the [Serious] thing meant anything any more.

This is the anniversary of the murder of Malcolm X. Another example of how someone who tries to challenge existing power structures is likely to be met with violence.

It's not clear whether he was killed by rivals or by COINTELPRO involvement. Either way, it shows that violence is not merely a method of the bad old days.

For clear FBI involvement you can look up Fred Hampton's murder by the government. I suppose drugging someone and then shooting him while he's half awake is a less painful method of execution than burning.

We really don’t want to ban anyone from the thread. Hopefully, we can get past what’s gone before so things don’t get to that point.
