(Via Red Alert) Following the model set at several law schools, students at Oberlin College are pleading for leniency during final exams and the final grading period this fall semester in light of the grand jury decisions in the Michael Brown and Eric Garner cases and the shooting of Tamir Rice.
A petition has been circling around the school community President Marvin Krislov to suspend the standard grading system because students of color, especially black students, are at risk of failing.
“I would really like to see the normal grading system suspended for this semester and replaced with a no-fail mercy period. Administrators should require professors to exercise complete flexibility in what students are saying they can produce academically. Require that every professor listen to what their students are saying and if that means rather than writing a paper students instead meet with their professor to simply discuss in groups their paper topics or if tests are taken collectively with professors there are ways to make sure we are learning what we are supposed to be learning in ways that are not so taxing in times like this,” the petition reads.

WASHINGTON DC – President Obama has issued a form of executive action known as the presidential memorandum more often than any other president in history — using it to take unilateral action even as he has signed fewer executive orders.
When these two forms of directives are taken together, Obama is on track to take more high-level executive actions than any president since Harry Truman battled the “Do Nothing Congress” almost seven decades ago, according to a USA TODAY review of presidential documents.
Obama has issued executive orders to give federal employees the day after Christmas off, to impose economic sanctions and to determine how national secrets are classified. He’s used presidential memoranda to make policy on gun control, immigration and labor regulations. Tuesday, he used a memorandum to declare Bristol Bay, Alaska, off-limits to oil and gas exploration.

12/16/14 we know the FBI and ATF agents along with federal Marshalls are now on the ground in Courtland Mississippi investigating the death of Jessica Lane Chambers. Wagonloads of Govt Tagged SUVs line and circle the Sheriffs office. Justice will be found.

If it were not for the leads you all have assembled, and the sunlight brought by all of the people demanding Justice on her behalf, the resources would not be on the ground to bring her killer(s) to account. According to new reports the CCTV recording system is now in the hands of the FBI forensics team. (more…)

Sunlight does strange things to people’s dispositions.  The local NBC News affiliate WMC5 in Courtland Mississippi appears to have found a new job title for the owner of the M&M First Stop Gas Station, Ali Alsanai.  
Only a few days ago they were reporting that Ali Alsanai, aka Basem Alsanai, aka Ali Fadhel, was the 19-year-old owner/operator of the business.  After 48 hours of scrutiny into the background of Mr. Alsanai all of a sudden, poof, he becomes a “clerk” at the store. 
The title of their on-line article passes him off as merely a “worker”, now.

Couldn’t have anything to do with the sunlight now upon the business, beer and wine licenses, ATF agents, and ears perked by USDA (*hint* EBT fraud), and IRS interests combining with FBI agents dispatched, while eyes seem curious about his successful entrepreneurship.   You can’t make this stuff up folks.
PANOLA CO, MS (WMC) – The man who may have been one of the last people to talk with Jessica Chambers says he is being threatened, and he is being called the leader of a gang that may have been involved in Chambers’ death.
Jessica Chambers, a 19-year-old Panola County resident, was murdered on December 6th. She was found burning next to her car, which was also on fire. (more…)

You can only imagine what type of lessons are taught in Professor Linsker’s English class..
NEW YORK – A Brooklyn man has been charged in connection with the assault of two police officers during a protest Saturday night on the Brooklyn Bridge, police said.

The charges against Eric Linsker, 29, of Crown Heights, who was arrested shortly before 4 a.m. Sunday, include assault in the second degree, rioting in the first degree, criminal possession of a weapon, resisting arrest and unlawful possession of marijuana, reports CBS New York. (more…)

On Saturday December 6th at 8:13pm the Courtland Fire Department responded to a car fire at 2352 Herron Road, Courtland, Mississippi. In addition to a burning car they found 19-year-old Jessica Lane Chambers burned and barely alive…

[…] Chambers, 19, died early Sunday after firefighters found her with burns over 98 percent of her body near a car burning on Herron Road near Courtland.

She had been set afire and then left by an assailant or assailants who obviously thought they were leaving her to an immediate death.

But she did not die immediately, remaining conscious at the scene long enough to talk to a firefighter from the Courtland Fire Department who arrived on the scene with two other volunteer firemen four minutes after receiving the report of the burning car.

“We know what she said, but we’re not commenting on that,” [District Attorney John] Champion said. (link)

Courtland Mississippi, population 500, is in Panola County, an area which has witnessed an explosion in gang related crime and criminal activity. This Day #7 update follows the backstory, the untold story, of how events continue to unfold.
In order to fully understand what follows it is strongly recommended you read Day#6 update. Without the understanding, well, what follows will seem challenging at best.
Jessica’s funeral was this past Saturday, 12/13.  During the funeral a person who gave a presentation at the regional Battered Woman’s Center (an abuse, counseling and treatment center) got up to speak.  She shared how Jessica had told her -a few months prior to her death- how someday Jessica wanted to write a book about her life.
It seems odd that a 19-year-old could have already experienced so much of life’s challenges that a book would seem possible. Alas, in Jessica Chambers’ short life there is more than one story.
In order to know what happened to Jessica, you’ve got to go back and understand what it is about her story can help catch the killer(s). (more…)

Glenn Reynolds – Americans have been living through an enormously sensationalized college rape hoax, but as the evidence accumulates it’s becoming clear that the entire thing was just a bunch of media hype and political opportunism.
No, I’m not talking about the Rolling Stone‘s lurid and now-exploded fraternity gang-rape story. Whatever the truth behind that story, it’s now clear that basically nothing that Rolling Stone reporter Sabrina Rubin Erdely told us happened, actually happened. But the hoax is much bigger than one overwrought and perhaps entirely fictional tale of campus goings-on.
For months we’ve been told that there’s a burgeoning “epidemic” of rape on college campuses, that the system for dealing with campus rape is “broken” and that we need new federal legislation (of course!) to deal with this disaster. Before the Rolling Stone story imploded, Sens. Claire McCaskill, D-Mo., and Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., were citing the Virginia gang rape as evidence of the problem, but now that the story has been exposed as bogus, they’re telling us that, regardless of that isolated incident, there’s still a huge campus rape problem that needs to be addressed as soon as possible.

Portland, Ore. — A suspect in a shooting that wounded three students outside an alternative high school was arrested early Saturday in what appears to be a gang-related attack, Portland police said.

Witnesses told authorities there may have been a dispute Friday outside Rosemary Anderson High School just before the shooting occurred at a street corner. The victims are students or in affiliated job training programs.
The assailant and two other people fled, and the injured trio went to the school for help, police said. A 16-year-old girl was critically wounded, and a 17-year-old boy and 20-year-old man were hospitalized in fair condition. Another girl was grazed by a bullet. (more…)

(Via Daily Mail) A manhunt has been launched to find two young men who were filmed slapping and taunting an elderly man on a subway train in Chicago.
The men, both African American in their late teens or early 20s, towered over their victim as they laughed and jumped around him, hitting his head, on a CTA Blue Line train. At one point the slaps become so hard they are audible on the clip, which was filmed by their friend and posted on Facebook.

Though the man tries to kick back and gingerly lifts an arm to swipe at them, they cackle with laughter and jump out the way. (more…)
