1650 Days and Counting: Justice for Michelle O'Connell

Tonight, the height of the St. Augustine social calendar drew 35 pickets.
That's because 1650 days ago, there were screams, gunshots and a dead woman in a deputy's home. The High Sheriff's henchmen told the shooting victim's family it was a suicide. No one believes them. The New York Times, PBS Frontline, Dateline NBC and Dr. Phil have all covered the story. Every thinking person in St. Johns County wants a federal grand jury.
Sheriff DAVID BERNARD SHOAR, State's Attorney RALPH JOSEPH LARIZZA, Medical Examiner PREDRAG BULIC, M.D. and the entire St. Johns County political machine will be held accountable.
Not one (1) local clergymen has spoken out in favor of Justice for Michelle O'Connell.
Only one (1) local elected official has spoken out in favor of Justice for Michelle O'Connell.
Mayor Nancy Shaver, we salute you!
Everyone else, we know what you were talking about all night at your fancy $195/person gala in honor of St. Augustine's founding genocical murderer, Pedro Menendez de Aviles.
Your insular world will not allow you to escape scrutiny, for as the ancient equitable maxim says, "silence gives consent."
Or in the words of ACT-UP: "SILENCE = DEATH."
"We SHALL overcome," as LBJ said to Congress after Selma.
I was proud to speak to civil rights hero Dr. Robert S. Hayling, D.D.S. outside the gala: he said he would do anything he could to help.
