this is why if you have a young girl, you move to a place where there are safe schools. preferably one with fewer blacks, as they (black boys) have little to know respect for young girls. that is why it is common for older blacks in school to be statutory raping so many younger girls

And this is why these viscious pigs walk every single day. Of course the girl is being uncooperative, she’s probably scared to death and as an adult woman, I can see why and I would be too.

They have evidence against these pigs and they need to try them. I am so sick of rape apology, blame of the victim and every thing else this BS patriarichal society dreams up to make women responsible for men’s bad behavior.

Where is the outrage for women? On any given day, you can find a woman raped, murdered, beaten, kidnapped, you name it. When are we going to stop making excuses for abusive men and put the blame where the blame is due – squarely on abusive men’s heads!

@blkseagoat You can’t discouraged after one round of phone calls. The round of phone calls was useful because it removes the excuse “we didn’t know.” Keep digging. The key is to find “pressure points” and push down hard.

Good Lord…what the hell has to happen before prosecutors like this MoFo get off his ass and do his damned job?

I will check other blogs to see if there’s any coverage on this issue. Sounds to me like there’s a confession (stopped forcing her to perform oral sex when he saw she was crying – what the hell? Does dude think that gives him some damned leniency on this shyt?)

If I don’t see any other coverage, I’ll do a post and link to this one. It’s one way of getting attention on shyt like this.

P. S. Forward this to Color of Change – I think they would light a few fires under the Broward County DA’s ass to do something….UGH

Fed Up Observer,

I won’t speak for Gina, but from where I stand and what I see, your hatred of black men (which I believe trumps your concern for black women) hasn’t compelled you to do anything but OBSERVE and make comments.

I won’t pretend that I am some firebrand because I clearly don’t have the time to commit myself to every act of injustice I think needs attention. I get in where I fit in. Your call for a Black female Israel will do exactly what? Displace a group of people at an area that’s already been inhabited by other folks for thousands of years?

Your ranting is justified, but if that all you know how to do is be Fed Up while observing, then you are just as guilty as the passive black men who have betrayed black women by failing in their obligation to protect (not being chauvanistic, simply making a point.)

Rev.Mama Afrika,

Not sure how much I got done. I was so incensed at the apathy I encountered yesterday, that I became completely discouraged. There was a case in Philadelphia where vigilantes beat down a suspect in a rape case involving an 11 year old. To be honest, my inclination is to start an unofficial organization that does that. Since we cannot rely on courts, police, or prisons to do their respective jobs, what other alternative do I have?

@ Fed up observer, thanks. If you think it is such good advice, then please pick AT LEAST ONE THING and become a regular volunteer. That’s how you can tell something is great advice.

@ Blkseagoat, now that’s what I’m talking about! ACTION! So, now more of us should make calls and for those of us that have RELIABLE contacts/friends/relatives in Florida, we should ask them to do the same. IT’S CALLED ORGANIZED, POLITICAL PRESSURE.

Gina, I do not come to this blog to offend you, nor to fight with fellow Black females. If I have done something to offend you, please tell me what it is, because I am totally confused by your response to me.

RevMamaAfricka, great advice all. Thank you.

UPDATE:

Just received a phone call from an aide to the Governor who refused to identify herself.

She stated that because the State Attorney is an independent elected official, that the Governor’s office NOR the Attorney General’s Office has oversight. The Governor can only recommend that cases in which the State Attorney’s office may be in a conflict of interest to be recommended to the State Ethics Commission for investigation. (If anyone is interested, I have the Chair and Vice Chairs contact info.)

Gina, is it appropriate to now contact the Department of Justice’s Office?

I’ll wait until I calm down, but I am quite pissed right now. It’s no wonder Florida is going to hell in a hand basket.

If anyone is interested in contacting the State Attorney’s Office, be prepared to be transferred 3 times to a recording for a FOI request. The Broward State Att’s office is 954-831-6955

I was very clear with each person that I spoke with. I specifically asked, “Who do I need to speak with regarding the State Attorney’s REFUSAL to charge James Hunte and Ryan Johnson?”. As I stated before, I was transferred 3 times to a recording to submit a request for information regarding the case.

You can either mail in your request to:

State Attorney’s Office
201 SE 6th Street
Ft. Lauderdale, FL 33301-3360

OR BY fax TO: (954) 831-6448

The State Attorney for Broward County is Michael Satz. When I inquired about the agency that has oversight of his office, I was instructed to contact Governor Charlie Crist. I filed a formal complaint against Michael Satz and his office today. You may also write to Gov. Crist at :

Phone: 850-488-7146
Fax: 850-487-0801

Mailing Address:
Office of the Governor
The Capitol
Tallahassee, FL 32399-0001
