“Real journalism is publishing something someone else does not want  published – the rest is just public relations.” -George Orwell

With so much drama in the world today in our communities on both macro and micro levels, it’s always strange to see the news or people that claim to be journalists talking about all kinds of silly things and never what’s going on. The Firing Squad is here to take aim at all that is wrong with the world, starting with our own communities. Three men of color with no censor and no objectives but truth, justice and common sense. Each episode will deal with hot-button issues with honesty, straight talk, and humor whenever possible . No personality is untouchable, and no one is spared the venom, or the praise whenever fit.

In this episode, we cover Peyton Manning’s departure from the Indianapolis Colts along with the tearful goodbye. Should he even be playing?

We look at the recent talk of bounties in the NFL and other sports. Is all this talk overblown? What if we started bounties in the Hip-Hop community? Who would get hit the hardest?

With all the talk about Kony, should we actually be concerned with his rise? What about all the other warlords? What about people being terrorized in their own neighborhoods to that know violent felons and where they line and what they do, yet they ignore it…but want to talk about situations in other places?

Finally, we talk about the greatest cookie of all time. Oreo? Chocolate chip? Vanilla Cream? Roll with us and we’ll get you hip.
