NBC QUESTIONS OWN POLL SHOWING LATINOS OPPOSE AMNESTY
A new NBC/WSJ poll shows that 37 percent of Latinos actually oppose President Obama’s expected executive amnesty while only 43 percent support it.

That was enough for NBC’s Mark Murray to add a disclaimer to the results, pointing out the small sample size of Latinos in the poll.

Three Months Later – Still No Headstone on Mike Brown’s Grave
Posted by Jim Hoft on Wednesday, November 19, 2014, 3:02 PM
Three months later and there’s still no headstone.

( CNN)

Amid calls for the officer to receive the death penalty, awards and talk show appearances, marches, a brawl and a trip to Geneva decrying his body on the street for four hours, it seems no one took the time to get a headstone for Michael.
CNN reported:

I follow the footprints to a small bouquet of plastic flowers, red and purple, planted in the ground.

There is not yet a headstone at Brown’s grave. I stand where Brown’s parents wailed as their son’s casket was lowered on August 25 into a copper vault. Sixteen days before, he had been shot dead by Ferguson police Officer Darren Wilson.

One minute, the 18-year-old stood 6 feet 4. The next, he fell to the ground on Canfield Drive. His blood colored the dull asphalt.

His name is a generic rallying cry for hate and rage, but is no longer attached to the young man himself.

How sad and illuminating. It’s not about him. It’s never been about him.
