Other authorities, besides Allegheny County medical examiner Cyril Wecht, said he was lynched. Actually they all are correct. However, lynching means no trial, with quick rough and ready extermination. Jonny Gammage was not guilty. He had done nothing wrong, according to the law. He had committed no crime or immoral, disrespectful behavior.
Dear Ones,
The Gammage Case should be recalled and added to the recent misconduct of rogue cops who ended up killing instead of regular police duty. This victim from New York was visiting Ray Seals–a Pittsburgh NFL football Steeler. He was merely driving his cousin's Jaguer to try it out in a suburb of Pittsburgh.
He braked (a common reaction knowing how biased cops have a tendency to be savage toward American Africans) because he was passing a traffic patrol station. One of the cops took after him like a dog chasing a rabbit. Jonny was braking, no doubt, fearing an encounter with the police and didn't want anything to happen to his cousin's car, let alone him.
The first cop called in another one of the same ilk and they pulled him over. With their headlights at high beam and flashlights aimed at his eyes, they knocked him to the ground and cuffed him. By now there were five of them. They then beat him with their flashlights, after pulling the cell phone out of his hand. These thugs cowardly jumped on him and squeezed the breath out of him as they smothered Jonny.
Lynch means to execute hurriedly without law. The term came about from a man by that name. There are numerous Lynch theories of the origin "Lynch Law." But Captain William Lynch was one of the more prominent ones since he was accused of such vicious corruption.
At the time when this law was still being used Ku Klux Klan "white supremacy," always active in bigotry, was also to blame for illegal lynching without trial. Mob mentality reacts with violence and "red-neck-shoot-from-the-hips" mentality–what protestors were claiming during many marches against this tragedy, as they also shouted "Killer Cops."
One of my best friend's relatives was on this police force. She said he often talked about the rogue cops who spit out the worst slander against American Africans at the police precinct. This Pittsburgh suburb was known for a number of bigoted cops using excessive, inhumane behavior.
ed a crime themselves.
But it reality it is not the end. The community is still attempting to bring justice to Jonny Gammage, posthumouly. There is still a petition on his behalf on the Internet, ever since 1995.
The end of 2014 is a watershed year for America. There is no longer any toleration for bad cops that give good cops bad names. As we honor the men in blue for their courage and valor, the rogues can no longer hide their prejudice under an honorable uniform.
Again, hold up our palms, all alike, to show we are all one people living under one tropical sun. Through evolution physically and mentally let us shine and show what a great nation this. Everyone loves America, why so many immigrants want to move here. It's historical crooked politics and hidden brutality that the world does not like about America.
Hands up for America and excellent leaders–like President Barack Obama who has brought about the most reform and equality that is all ready recorded in the annals of time and the gallant halls of liberty.
