Not Guilty, Huh?

 Another white privileged man gets away with murder. 

Sadly white privilege wins again.

Tamir Rice was 12 and killed for having a toy gun

while playing on the playground.

Kalief Browler was 16 and stole a backpack

and went to juvenal detention for 3 and a half years.

Brionna Taylor was 26 and killed in her home by the police

and she was unarmed.

Trayvon Martin who was 17 was killed while walking home

by George Zimmerman who claimed it was self defense,

but it was not; Martin had no weapon.

It was just another white man who got away with

murder of a black teen.

This was back in 2012.

Yet since then more and more cops and white men

have gotten away with murdering blacks

or innocent bystanders and protesters.

Like with the Rittenhouse case; it was murder.

One cannot claim self defense while threatening another

with a semi automatic weapon and expect the person not to react.

Another white privilege case.

It was unacceptable. NO Justice again.

After the George Floyd case I thought things would change

after he got justice for his murder;

but I do not think things will ever change in America.

Year End Letter 2021

 

Well my friends and family as 2021 comes to a close I reflect on the year and realize it is better than last year and know that 2022 will be even better. In 2020 the covid crises went out of control with a president that spread hate, conspiracies and lies. Also last year I lost a great mentor and friend to me – Master Miriam Stevens (1948 – 2020). Sadly this year we lost our dog Scruffy. Thankfully in 2021 we got a new president who cares about America, its people, and the climate. He is making every effort to build America back better. And I feel things are getting better. And I feel that 2022 will be a great year.

This year 2021 we still have covid safety prodicals, but my wife Jill and I had a good year for the most part. In June we went camping at Sugar Bottom Campground at Coralville Lake. It was not fun camping this year, however, as the campers in site one decided to have a so-called bachelors party and where extremely loud – blasting music until all hours of the night. At 1 AM they were finally quiet as I told them to shut up. In spite of no sleep I still went kayaking the next day to the Coralville Dam. We are never going back to Sugar Bottom Campground.

In the first week of October we drove to Oklahoma City Oklahoma for the 34^th USS New Jersey BB-62 Battleship Reunion. We went and saw the Oklahoma City Bombing Victims Memorial, ate lunch at a place called Mad Cow Cafe, and went at saw the Cowboy Museum where we got autographs, on a poster, from all the artists that made the sculptures and art at the museum. We did have a fun time at the 34^th Battleship Reunion and in Oklahoma City. Of course in October is my favorite Holiday – Halloween. It is the last Halloween we are celebrating here as we are preparing to move to New Mexico. We already started to get rid of things and packing up the house.

We are looking forward to having a ranch home and land, traveling across the states, and one day raising horses. I am going to finish my Private Investigator license in New Mexico and help search for trafficked or missing children. I am also planning on building an Okinawan style dojo and teaching art and karate classes again. I am also looking forward to exploring all the bike trails in New Mexico, Utah, and in Colorado. And do the historical haunted tours. We, my wife and I, have much to look forward to as we begin the next journey of our lives. And hopefully in 2023 we will be able to finally take our wedding anniversary trip to Holland.

Happy New Year 2022!!!

Love From Timothy L. Kerofsky, MA and wife Jill

If I was a Juror I would find Rittenhouse guilty!

 My two cents -

as a Security Tech and a ex Navy Master at Arms,

I say without a doubt that Kyle Rittenhouse is guilty of murder.

For one he lied about being an EMT,

he lied about protecting a business,

a business he knew nothing about,

he was not even from Kenoshi WI,

in fact he was from a different state IL,

he illegally obtained the semi automatic AR15

which he used in the murders,

he had no business being there at the BLM protest

and no business carrying the AR15,

he brought it there looking for trouble,

he put down a fire extinguisher he was carrying

and pointed the weapon at innocent bystanders,

therefore he became the aggressor threatening them,

and the bystanders became the victims,

the bystanders were the ones that became the defenders,

and Rittenhouse could therefore no longer claim self defense.

It was murder plain and simple!

He murdered two people and wounded another.

Guilty as charged.

And that is "my two cents".

Break down of the 3 day Halloween Holiday:

 

October 31st - All Hallows Eve (Halloween)

November 1st - Hallowmas (Souling)

November 2nd - All Souls Day (Day to honor the dead)

On All Hallows Eve in America the children go out for

tricks or treats; but in the ancient Celtic times of Ireland

it was the feast day of Samhain - day of the harvest.

On Hallowmas in Gaelic Ireland the children went out for souling -

begging for food to give to the poor families of the village.

Today in America the Catholic Church made it All Saints Day -

to honor all the saints of old.

On All Souls day it is a tradition to wear costume to disguise

one self to avoid the evil spirits as one honors the dead

of those family members whom have passed.

My wife and I go visit the graves on this day.

In Ireland Halloween is a week long holiday with fireworks;

and kids are off from school.
