Fulton County Georgia - Failing To Deliver Upon The Promises And The Growing Need To Do For Self In The Wake Of Budget Cuts

Here are two videos related to Fulton County Georgia.

First we have an incident where a Black inmate was allegedly set on fire by a prison guard.
I have no love for this killer of 2 children.  I don't even know if any of the claims of what the security guard has done are true.

I do know that if this situation was not in Fulton County but in Douglass County to the west OR if the jailers in question where majority White and not majority Black - as is the case with the Fulton County Sheriff's Department  - you would have heard about this situation nationally.

Next we have a "Reverse Tea Party" as consumers of the Fulton County "Drug Court" protest against planned budget cuts due to the $54 million hole in the county budget that must be addressed.

If there was ever a time for the community from which these people come from to step up and express the value of these people it is right now.  The government coffers are bare.  They are going to be so for several years.  Instead of outsourcing these tasks of drug rehabilitation upon the government dime it is time to develop this capacity within.  There is an abundant number of churches with the educated people who can do this.  These churches also have the financial resources to accomplish this task of rehabilitating the human resources within.
