“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.

This episode features Odeisel and Juste J addressing two major hot button topics: The aftermath of the George Zimmerman not guilty verdict and the news that Detroit may be filing bankruptcy in what would be the largest municipal filing in history. We examine the causes and effects of each issue and take a look at what is next. How do Black people and Trayvon’s family in particular get justice? What is the difference between the verdict and justice? What is the rationale behind such a bold move in Detroit? We hit every angle.
