Watch the City of West Palm Beach ( aka "Dysfunction Junction") Meet Today About Dunbar Village
Wednesday, October 3, 2007 at 12:12PM The Blogmother
For those of you who are not familiar with why I basically turned a huge chunk of this blog over to the story of the Dunbar Village gange rape, let me refresh your memory of the horrific facts of the case. A 35 year old mother was brutally gang raped and sodomized for three hours by up to 10 African American teens. They capped off the barbarism by forcing her to perform oral sex on her own 12 year old son before they poured cleaning solution in the son's eyes and on the mother's skin, blinding the son and burning the mother. They would have set the two on fire, but the attackers could not find a lighter. THAT was the PG Version!
Now part of the reason, Dunbar Village looks more like something you would find in Darfur is because the poor Black folks living there were abandoned by the Mayor and City Commissioners of West Palm Beach, FL and the Housing Authority Director, Laurel Robinson is either A) Corrupt or B) incompetent. They have taken ZERO action on the conditions which precipitated this and other violent sexual assaults on Black women and girls in that part of West Palm Beach. Today, YOU can view their incompetence in all of its glory by watching a joint meeting between the West Palm Beach City Commissioners and the West Palm Beach Housing Authority.
See why we've been pulling our hair out. Here these people have had a CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY occur on THEIR WATCH and they STILL aren't doing anything about it.
Make sure you read Symphony's report from the most recent meeting between the bureaucrats in West Palm Beach, Florida. They are still inept. Our national leaders are still indifferent to one of the most heinous attacks on a Black mother and child in our lifetimes. CALL THEM ON THEIR CRAP!
St. Ann Catholic Church, 310 N. Olive Ave., West Palm Beach, FL 33401. The church’s phone number is (561) 832-3757.

Does anyone see merit in connecting Star Jones with Dunbar Village? There was some decent level of coverage on Isaiah Thomas from her show, and she’s spent hours and hours covering the video taped molestation of the little white girl that saturates the news right now. I think a casual slip in of the R. Kelly situation could lead her to draw some parallels. Dunbar is relevant in the context of what Isaiah said, but on a much larger scale. You could make that connection for her, or not. I think she would be motivated by knowing that no one else in leadership positions has given this cause a chance.
You could Tell her that such and such leaders have had direct communication with an advocate for Dunbar victims who gave them the details of this and similar attacks (a pattern in this community). The video links could be added, including the one featuring this particular group of sorry political busters. Just the other day she covered the beating of some masculine lesbians that I've assumed wasn’t getting much play in the news.
She claims to pick stories which interest her, personally. Her show is one of bright colors and sensationalized news, but from what I've seen... If the info can actually get to her..I kind of believe she would do something about it. Naive?
