“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 weeks episode deals with the following topics:
- Nothing Was The Same, thoughts and musings
- What makes an album “classic material”?
- Another day and another unarmed Black man shot by the police. How can this country make the police better?
a. How nervous are you when you see a cop?
b. Do you think cops hurt or improve life in communities of color? - Pope Francis says that the Catholic church is too “obsessed” with preaching about gays, abortion, contraception and gay marriage; is this Pope going change this religion and bring it into the 21st century?
- A homeless man found 42K in a bag and turned it over to the authorities; a fund was started for him and he now can get a cool 100 grand. If you found 42 racks in a backpack, what would you do?
- China is so amped to be the best that their colleges are telling incoming students to sign waivers that clear them of suicide liability. Fam, how long will it take for the Chinese to rule the world?
