Aiyana Jones

7 year old Aiyana Jones was shot and killed in Detroit early Sunday morning (5/16/10).
The cops killed her.
The first breaking news reported that it was an accident… It gets much worse from there. Much.
The target was Chauncey Owens, they suspect that he killed Jerean Blake, 17. The Detroit police achieved a no-knock warrant for Owens, who was in the apartment upstairs. The police SWAT team arrived at 12:45am with camera crews from The First 48 to forcibly enter both units of the duplex. The SWAT team tossed a flash grenade through a window, which landed on and burned the young girl, then a dispute of the sequence of events begins:
1). Either the police shot through the front door striking her in the neck, head, and killing Aiyana as she was burning alive from the grenade…. then entered to home to discover what they had done.
2). Or, they entered the home, were confronted by the child’s grandmother, who reached around the riot shield, grabbed the officers weapon, and forced it to discharge several times, striking Aiyana in the head, neck, and killing her as she burned alive from one of the flash grenades.
No matter what side of the story is true. The child remains dead and there is footage, as the camera crews filmed the entire incident.
Geoffrey Fieger now represents the family, the mayor is angry with Fieger and accuses him of just cashing in.
To make matters worse, Jerean Blake’s mother is saying that Aiyana’s father and Owens bragged about killing her son, who may have looked at Owens wrong.
The story has dropped as a headline from local news.
The Reverand Al Sharpton will (likely) give the eulogy.
Imagine if she were white.

Flint Fires - Photos by Tarra Sifferman
This is for all of you out-of-towners that may not have heard, Flint is in chaos at the moment. Since the mayor closed fire stations and laid off firefighters, there have been over 50 fires in the city in the past week.
Mlive is trying to cover it. In their own inept way.
Someone is trying to keep up with them all on Google Maps.
Some fire departments are giving up.
You can keep up with the excitement by listening to live streams from fire and police dispatch.
It’s not national news. No one would be surprised anyway. Flint’s best commodity for export is being the butt of every joke about what is wrong with this country.
People look to flint – to feel better about their stupid towns.

So, apparently the New York Times has decided to charge non-subscribers for unlimited use of its site. I’m not sure if I can speak for anyone but myself but, I just don’t care. I think I’d rather eat a news paper than actually read it and I won’t pay anyone for the filler between advertisements that they’ve shoved down my throat for decades.
All I can really say about news print media is, good bye and good riddance. As the MBA’s frantically scramble to try to figure out how to wring blood from turnips, I’ll just keep on gathering my news in my own way, reading what really is good content. For free.
Sorry papers, you lost us all. Too bad your content was so abysmal that you drove the advertisers and readers out the door. Too bad your senior executive ranks couldn’t live without multi-multi-million dollar salaries and bonuses, even in a near depression. Too bad you couldn’t understand the impact of the internet until it consumed your advertisers and readers. Too bad I’ve nothing to line the bottom of birdcages…
Are you paying attention Comcast, Time Warner, Rogers, Etc.. ?! I doubt it. I sincerely doubt it because your are next and I can hardly wait.
