The gruesome murder of Mary Turner and her baby. (May,1918 lynching) Hampton Smith a plantation owner, from Brooks County Georgia used to abuse and beat his workers. Mary Turner was once severely beaten by Smith and when her husband threatened him, local authorities sentenced Hazel Turner to time on a chain gang. Smith was shot and killed by one of his workers. A mob driven manhunt for the killer resulted in the lynching of 13 black people, including some who were in the local jail. Nineteen-year-old and eight months pregnant, Mary Turner publicly denied that her husband had anything to do with the murder of Hampton Smith. The mob was angry by her remarks so they decided to teach her a lesson. She fled, but was caught and dragged to Folsom Bridge. The mob tied her ankles, strung her upside down, doused her clothes in gasoline and set her on fire. While she was still alive, someone split open her stomach and her unborn baby slid out and fell to the ground. The mob stomped and crushed the baby to death. They then shot Mary Turner. Her bullets riddled body, along with her baby were buried a few feet away from where they were murdered.

A wonderful safe Sunday to you and your family. I do not understand men who were treated badly by their father treats their child, the same way. Are you a sadistic person? Did the hurt you felt resonated to you in a good way that you feel no qualms about transferring the hurt to your child? I don’t care if your life partner tells you to ignore the child, you can find a way to make good by that child. It is time to man up.

Life is short so enjoy it today because you don’t know what tomorrow may bring.

One day we were going out. When we got outside there was a man leaning on a pole that was holding up a sign. This man was wobbling down but he would slowly stand upright before he hit the ground. I said, “Something is wrong with that man. “That is how someone who is on heroin behaves,” Paul said. “Dear God that must be a horrible feeling because he doesn’t seem to have control of his faculties.” I said. “I heard that the only good high from heroin is the first shot so people keep taking it to get that trip,” Harold said. Although I did not know the man, just seeing him in grave difficulty had me worried about him. Drug addiction is a sad, sad affair. I pray for all the people who are trapped by drugs.
