Two Ladies Accused Of Hate Crime At Temp Mosque Plead Not Guilty, My Response:

Deeply disappointed that these two ladies actually believe they did nothing wrong. They have pleaded not guilty. Sadly…They are continuing on this painful road of hate. They should do the right thing and confess to this larceny and hate crime and come to terms that they are not evil human beings but rather sadly afflicted by the disease of religious and xenophobic hate. In this way they could start back on the road of love which should be their true destination as well.
One of them allegedly belonged to the Az. Patriots. I know this young lady from the protests and she is not evil …Which is all the more reason I am stunned at the violent hate she harbors within her heart.
This fringe group calling themselves the Az. Patriots claims to have kicked out that member while the other female they maintain was not in their group.
I have seen these ladies in the recent past protesting with the pro-Trump people who in general taunt people with brown skin demanding if they are citizens and who try to get into people’s faces …Which goes beyond the First Amendment Right To free speech and veers off into assault and battery. Just last week (and on January 25th, 2018) members of this fringe militia group were back at the Az. state Capitol harassing Az. state representative Isla Blanc for getting arrested in a civil disobedience incident at the nation’s Capitol in defense of our beautiful Dreamers.

I ask this group out of love and not hate to stop their religious and xenophobic hate baiting and to protest peacefully instead of trying to intimidate people with their up close “in your face” “carry a gun on your hip” bullying and taunting behavior. Let our beloved state of Arizona not be ruled by hate and bigotry but rather by love, humanity and justice for all.

Az. Gov. Ducey Holds Indirect Responsibility For Tempe, Arizona Mosque Attack!

Az. Gov Ducey Needs to act on these hate crimes to prevent more from happening in Arizona! Tempe Arizona needs to charge these individuals with hate crimes!
And, these individuals need to get help. They are sick and demented but still… They are human beings let’s charge them with hate crimes and get them some help.
Az. Governor refused to act on previous hate crimes by this militia organization named below … and now we have what happened in Tempe Arizona at the Mosque …On his enabling hands!
I personally know one of those charge for the crime at the mosque in Tempe dude you always having to ask her to stop teaching her children hate and to getting the hate out of your heart.

I Will be filing a complaint with the Arizona Attorney General‘s office on Monday over the events that transpired on January 25, 2018 at Arizona governor Ducey‘s office in the state legislature… Whereby I believe hate crimes were possibly committed.

What will it take before this right wing governor acts against these racist hate group individuals? Do we have to wait before a brothers and sisters of the Islamic faith are murdered? Will it take a fellow army veteran getting his throat slit saving the lives of young ladies who happened to be of the Islamic faith? I hope to God no.
The indirect responsibility for the hate crimes that were committed last week at the mosque in Tempe … can’t be lead directly at the feet of Arizona governor Ducey and for his political ally in Washington DC the demagogue Trump.

I believe…I witnessed at least one of these so called militia Patriot members who who has now been charged in the crimes that were allegedly committed at the mosque in Tempe, Az. earlier last week… also being involved in the horrible hateful behavior at the Arizona State capital on January 25th, 2018 (see my live video of that day which I will post).

In addition I believe the propaganda/ strategy now being purposely employed by the so-called Arizona patriot movement and maybe the national movement as well ..Is to send out women with guns screaming the racist things getting in people’s faces knowing quite shrewdly for their propaganda purposes that it would not look near as bad if men were doing it… I know that that does not sound logical but they probably know by studying the evil genius and hero of the Alt Right movement their hero and Nazi propagandist Joseph Goebbels that this would be A good way for their hate crimes to sneak under the radar.
This despicable racist behavior took place in front of Arizona governor Ducey‘s office where they were chasing children with brown skin during the legislative session who were on field trips, “Dreamers” People, staffers and at least several indigenous legislators with brown skin as well and all of these innocent people… Were targeted and accosted by these racist Trump supporters with guns on their hips!
They were from the so called Az. Patriot riot/Hatriot movement screaming and demanding of these children and people of color if they were here in the country legally! In addition… These hateful racists chased me with guns on their sides as well… For simply standing on the side with a pro Dreamer sign for our beautiful young people on DACA. … I forgot to mention that they had guns on their sides and one member dropped her gun( this also could’ve been one of the ladies charged for the crimes in Tempe) on the ground! thank Thank GOD it did not go off and injure or kill one of the children or innocent bystanders myself included that were walking by.

At this point… Arizona senator Katie Hobbs to her credit filed an official complaint with Arizona governor Ducey’s special police who were there witnessing this whole hate crime riddled incident on January 25th, 2018. I publicly on social media and also with a petition demanded Arizona governor Ducey condemn the actions of these racist Trump supporters that day which endangered men women and children. and sadly… And tragically… Arizona governor Ducey did nothing!

For years… Here in Arizona I and some other activists continually pleaded with Arizona governor Ducey to repair the defaced and vandalized Dr. Martin Luther King monument in the plaza right next to his office and legislature… But it was to no avail… Then the killing of our human rights sister Heather Heyer occurred… And in order to avoid the embarrassment of doing nothing about a vandalized monument to Dr. Martin Luther King the governor finally snuck out without notifying the press …a private artist who by chance I found and put on YouTube repairing the damaged monument.

The point I am trying to make here is… This governor constantly refuses to act on matters of importance here in Arizona and when he does “say“ he will do something that’s all that happens… Just him and his empty words. When high school students try to see him last week just stop the mass killing it is occurring across this nation of crazy people with guns… Governor Ducey refused to see them and then… Began tweeting out congratulating the professional sports team owner in his state… This governor is only about words… He sometimes has people from the civil rights movement open his office… And then they come out… With their mouth shut having been co-opted… This needs to stop! Governor Ducey… Condemn these hate crimes and enforce hate crime laws let these right wing hate group militias know where any hate groups for that matter that their crimes will not be tolerated in Arizona!

Perhaps this alleged hate crime that was just allegedly committed against people of the Islamic faith at the mosque in Tempe…Could’ve been prevented… how the governor acted and publicly condemned these hate crimes that took place right in front of his office during the legislative session lesson two months previously.
In addition I believe I witnessed one of these individuals that has been charged with the the alleged crimes at the Bernie Sanders event last Sunday where they were flying what looked to be Alt Right flag that was green in color and with many K’s in the middle looking eerily similar to a battle standard for the KKK. These individuals were also screaming in my opinion horrible things with their children there as well and I have a live video of that and I will post that on my wall as well.
Arizona governor Ducey by his refusal to deal with the hate crimes that occurred on January 25th, 2018 right in front of his office after having had Arizona State senator Katie Hobbs, myself and others initiate an investigation of the behavior of the state police… (The special bodyguard for the governor himself) has encouraged these hate crimes against our brothers and sisters of the Islamic faith to continue and increase. I greatly feared… That if governor Ducey does not step in as a leader in the right wing Republican extremist do not step up and condemn these actions … The next time we read about one of these so called patriot movement militia groups… It might be after they have murdered or killed innocent people in our community Who happened to be of the Islamic faith!

Of course we cannot leave out the so-called president we have right now… He has promulgated and fomented hey as well I can stars Lameck brothers and sisters!
As far as the so called Arizona Pstriot movement… they claim that they do not back what happened at the mosque in Tempe and the bowling intimidation etc.… But I witnessed their followers on January 25, 2018 and at the Bernie Sanders event as well screaming out racist things and using tactics of intimidation going up to people and getting in their faces instead of just suffering their First Amendment right to free speech going beyond that. I do not believe them… I was there I witnessed the multiple times and are disgraceful despicable racist behavior! I know I have a target on my back from these individuals they have been calling me up by name and I have been getting strange phone calls… But that goes with the territory I will not let our beloved state of Arizona become the psychological home for their head quite to the contrary… I believe not just myself but all of us will show that Arizona is a place of love and humanity and if it is not that now… we will make it so non violently.

At this point you might ask… What can we do? We can do even more than we have been doing and increase what what we have been doing and that is to spread love and humanity non violently and to go as counter protesters nonviolently to these hateful protest by Trump supporters screaming children and people of another thing to show not only the rest of our state but your presence but the whole world that Arizona is not about if you racist so cold Patriots! I would also like to thank our much-maligned non-violent anti-fascist young brothers and sisters have been doing those already… defending nonviolently against these racist and fascist who attacked men women and children simply because of the color of their skin or of their religious faith… Thank you young brothers and sisters for your courage 🙂
Please Don’t ever forget My Lai as well on this … the 50th anniversary of this unspeakable atrocity.
So with that… Please spread the love… Spread the humanity, stand up nonviolently for Justice and for those who cannot defend themselves.
Peace,

Az. Tea Party Rep. Kelly Townsend The New “Tammy Faye Bakker” of Az. Has Blocked Me LOL

LOL … Well what an honor brothers and sisters… One of the Tea Party co-founders in the North valley of the Phoenix metro area… Who now sits as a state representative in the Arizona Legislature…and protecter (“Stand By Your Man”) of corrupt Az. governor Ducey and sel righteous “slut shaming” queen bee Kelly Townsend has blocked me on Twitter, LOL.

It seems she doesn’t like anti-Trump people going to the legislature and not running away when her Trump supporting friends with their guns and Trump flags run up to Brown children, Brown staffers and brown legislators demanding if their “legal“.
Although I am a Heinz 57 with white skin Apparently this right wing extremist legislator who covers up for corrupt Koch brothers Ducey and helped to go after one of her political enemies former representative Don shooter … was angered that I myself non-violently confronted her racist Trump supporting gun toting xenophobe friends on January 25th l, 2018 at the state legislature and told them to stop harassing people who were there to see our constitutional democratic government at work.

Of course as of late you might’ve heard that our friend co-founder of the Tea Party, Kelly Townsend was in the news for a more recent statement… Essentially she stated para-phrasing: “that the woman at the last Phoenix woman’s march who had put pasty’s over her breasts was essentially inviting rape and that in this day and age here in Arizona many women who show more than just their knees and who don’t not wear full length dresses are asking for rape…lol

The Arizona Republic columnist EJ Montini wrote an excellent article on this https://amp.azcentral.com/amp/1058786001 apparent newfound “Tammy Faye Baker” right here in our own beloved Arizona! Below is an excerpt showing how Kelly Townsend will lead all of us heathens to stop sinning and go back to the “good old days“ when women were property and people knew their places and what fountains to drink out of.

“She wrote in part: “Our grandchildren may very well live in a world where the pendulum has swung so far that they actually long for a day when their own children will not be exposed to such debauchery and lewdness. They will ask the question, ‘Who stood up in defense of morality and goodness?’ I hope the history books say it was I who gave a warning to women everywhere that if you continue down this path you will have no defense when you are sexually harassed or even worse, raped. And no, you would be able to blame President Trump.”-Kelly Townsend.

So… I don’t begrudge Kelly Townsend for accepting her new role as the “Tammy Faye Bakker” of Arizona… And I don’t begrudge her the fact that she seems to be sliding from her Astro turfed Tea Party philosophy to that of American fundamentalist evangelical Taliban …
No! I say it is high time that all we heathens and sinners in Arizona fall into line ! There is a new queen bee and her name is Tammy Faye Bakker…Uhm sorry … I mean Kelly Townsend and she is now going to “kick some serious sinner ass and take names later” in her new role as one the “moral leaders” of Arizona ( sorry to our crazy red headed aunt senator Sylvia Allen over in the senate…  you’ll just have to content yourself with trying to take away the Minimum wage increase that we all voted on).
Now… Brothers and sisters I’m sure you will all join me wherever you are at right now and stop thinking your “debauched” sinful thoughts and sing with our newly Arizona self appointed moral leader Kelly Townsend in that great old Victorian traditional hymn “Onward Christian Soldier”
