ezs note: If you see Tavon James Horton in a building or on the street in Baltimore, do not attempt to overcome him - he is considered very dangerous! Rather, be smart and call the police at 410-307-2020. Transgender men and women - no, I'm not asking you to don a nun's habit, but for goodness sake, BE SMART!

ezs note: I am so glad that Mercedes Williamson's killer has been brought to justice. And as far as Caitlyn Jenner goes - good for her! She could have done a one or two formulaic speech - but she didn't. She mentioned the names of far lesser known names who got killed, and she demanded justice. Kudos to you, Caitlyn.

ezs note: Y'know, the Evangelical Church of the West Indies has every right to hold this position.
I may disagree, but they do have this right. However, what about the liberal churches,
temples, or mosques? What about the individuals who belong to no church? It is my firm belief that governments belong to PEOPLE, not churches!
