This world is NOT my home.

Today, we mourn the loss of a great man. Mr. Miyenn. MM was bought in July 2010, and served as a faithful anchor to my topsy turvy life. He was always there for me when I needed him. He had his flaws, like all men do, but at the end of the day, he always […]

Is this world your home?

Troy Davis was found guilty of murdering a police officer 19 years ago, based upon the testimony of 9 witnesses. -7 : that’s how many of the nine original eyewitnesses have recanted their testimony against Davis. — 0: the amount of physical evidence linking Davis to the crime (no fingerprints, no DNA, no weapon recovered).
