Dover Delaware, 2012

On October 6, 2012 in Dover Delaware this blogger was confronted with claims of a lynching, an attempted lynching and a cover up that were not immediately credible ... Here is my weblog as I struggle to place in some kind of order all the information coming in since then. Although the topics in this blog have grown beyond the original case, still ongoing and unsolved to the minds of many, the focus is the same. Equal protection under the law.

Goodbye cruel World. Hello new life. I am done.

 Thanks for stopping by.  I am leaving this blog up, but am not posting here anymore on the Civil Rights cesspool that is Delaware.
  The conversation has changed since I started this blog, and a great victory has been had but the victory has only lead us to the real fight. 
 My activism isn't  going away, but it is taking a different form. I like to fight, maybe too much.
  To be better I must heal myself  and learn to heal others. To rise above emotions of fear and anger to experience real courage, not just outrage and bravado. 
  To do better, I must be better.
The human rights crisis of the 21st century in my mind is what we call health care.  Our nation is the sickest in the world, and the world is trying to catch up to America.

  I have a story of healing to tell, and much work to do still.
With faith in the promise of Ezekiel 36:36, that the ruined places would be renewed I have  started a social media group dedicated to open and thoughtful discussion of self care and nutrition, which to my mind is at the root of the current health care crisis. 
  Thank you for your Interest in Delaware's Strange Fruits, if you are inclined to join us on our new path please do.
    This is a closed group with a short anti-robot questionnaire and mostly standard FB community rules.  https://www.facebook.com/groups/920544144982432/

Is there really KKK in Delaware that threatens direct action?


What racism?

Crazy conspiracy talk:
In Early October of 2012 I attended a forum of minority party candidates, independents and libertarians, meeting with the minority community, African American, of Dover Delaware on Forrest Avenue at a facility graciously loaned to us by Kent County GOP. None of the citizens were there to vote for a third party candidate. All expressed concerns over a death ruled a suicide and an apparent attempted lynching being called an unfounded complaint.
In addition there was a linebacker sized gentleman who identified himself as an intellectual and claimed he had been set up and arrested for nothing at Delaware State University and that his arrest was loosely related to the pro-lynching flyers found in Downtown Dover in 2011.
On Dr. King's birthday in 2013 we had a march on Dover to protest against DSU and the abuse of Dr. Jahi Issa and against lynching in the first State. Activists from Georgia and California showed up. Alton Mattox put in an appearance and I met Ellsworth Johnson Bey of Baltimore. Brother Bey and I performed a simulcast in downtown Baltimore on WBOL and in Sussex County Delaware on WGMD radio. It was historical and unprecedented.
Eventually Dr. Issa beat his criminal charges, I was counseled not to talk about Dr. Issa on air more than once. I told various apparent products of incest under duress to kiss my American ass more than once.
Finally they fired me. Oh well, if you can't get fired by white supremacists, cowards. and liars who can you get fired by? Seriously.
I am proud to join the alumni of "White Guys Mesmerizing Dullards" aka WGMD Rehoboth Beach.
Things I saw and heard told me what I need to know.
Not my set. Note that I am far far from a 'woke Saint' regarding the state of inter ethnic relations in the United States.
I got death threats by phone, once in the presence of Wolf from the Independent Party of Delaware ( IPOD), called a n***er lover on FB,
threatened on FB by racists up and down the street, many invitations to people seeking mutual combat due to my refutation of their overt
hatred for people with dark skin.
Now seven years later, dead men of color are just popping up in and around SIlver Lake park in DOver, Despite the vaunted camera system from Advantec Dover Police seem unable to figure out who dropped leaflets threatening lynching in Dover where their cameras are present. The Dover Police were unable to caputre any images of a white Dodge Pickup described by a wtness calling 911 and a victim of an Assault at Silver Lake Park.
The truck exited the park via Washington Street and wound up at 32 South Governor's avenue until about mid-day according to neighbors I canvassed many times over eight months. According to everybody I interviewed Police made no attempt to apprehend the men whose vehicle was identified on the 911 tape in real time.
The brother of Johnny Clark who died in May of 2012 and a witness at the Human Relations Hearing when Henry Fordham testified about Police ignoring his complaint was killed on North New St in 2015 at 0345 in the morning. No arrests, one shot fired. That doesn't seem personal. What happened to Advantec's vaunted camera system that could show crime in real time and supposedly had helped deploy a SWAT team?
Was it down for maintenance like the milkshake machine at McDonalds?
Anthony Mcdonald was wanted for murder, his victim's mother drove around my neighborhood where the murder occurred telling everybody that the killer would pay. She posted multiple times on an article asking if Anthony found in the lake was the Anthony wanted for murder.
She told me she had given State Police permission to crush the car her son was sitting in when he was murdered before an arrest was made.
While I totally understood I broke off contact with her. I could not be a party to murder even if the victim was a murderer. Not my thing.
Then Stephone Powell was found was found in Silver Lake.
Then Eric Acevedo-Palencia.
All men of color, all alleged to have or known to have experience with drugs of some sort.
All involved in relationships with white females.
No signs of foul play. Also missing are an 18 year old hispanic man named Jesus and
a thirty year old named Cornell, both fit the same profile and have not yet been found.
According to my sources in Dover Cornell has 'gone ghost' and not been in contact with anyone,
I'm still trying to find him through acquantances and people in the area.
Against this backdrop Dr. Issa's legal case is once again beset with 'difficulty'.
Once again we have a Judge who just happens to see it the State's way and the lawyers
the same Judge appointed to take over the case due to problems with the last lawyer.. well....
not so much. All I can say for sure is that their style is unusual and even though I've only been pro-se
defending myself in criminal court I've beaten better work than they are showing me.
If this is truly their best zealous representation I am definitely suing FB because one of them works for FB
and FB killed my dream of starting a CBD business online by PUBLISHING that it was promoting illegal drugs
and have not rescinded that yet. EASY MONEY BABY.
I suspect the young lady isn't giving it her best effort for whatever reason. I don't care what the reason is,
this is about whether or not some tin hat dictator can have you seized, made homeless and destitute, destroy your career
and family because they don't like the content of your PROTECTED SPEECH.
But if she really wants to claim that she and her two guy pals are that clumsy I'll try them on for size, I can at least make them
work for summary judgement on my own. Now if they show more craft fighting me... well they'll figure it out ... I'm not sure what
anybody might have promised them, the last lawyer we had to run off is a State Senator now we know what he got.
Am I the only one who thinks these people didn't watch any civil rights movies where the bus of FBI agents pulls up?
My OPINION is that all of this is about protecting the political career of Kathleen Jennings who was apparently presiding over the criminal division
of Delaware DOJ during Dr. Issa's trial, and Eric Bodenweiser's trial, and Mike Roger's trial... all of which ended in hung juries. Anybody give me the odds of that happening in a year in a state smaller than Fairfax county Va population wise?
My further opinion is that if a person fears 'being in a hole' they should drop their shovel immediately. But everybody is smarter than Doug Beatty
and they'll be quick to tell you so.
I am scared, not only of what people do and try to do to me but of what I become when I engage this level of human behavior.
Never have I been perfect, and this kind of event doesn't always bring out the best in me. So without apology I do regret any collateral damage.
But I'm not sorry. I'm a lesser person to admit I'm angry that there aren't more people helping.
The truth is what it is, no matter what your definition of is is. I will try to be better.
Because I can't let it slide, I've done enough evil in my life without turning away here.
Okay, everybody go back to sleep. Nothing to see here. Just a disty old gas bag bloviating.
Does anybody really believe that racism like that exists in our time?

Delaware demands respectful Negroes.

Imagine yourself in your dream job, in a marriage you treasure with three vibrant children and two cars, on track for tenure at a state university. Then without warning you are falsely arrested, fired without cause, maliciously prosecuted, you lose your marriage, your home, you car and your ability to care for your children or even be with them. Then you spend the better part of six years being homeless.
  All for doing nothing wrong? Welcome to Delaware, this is BIDEN country . Blacks In Delaware Experience Nightmares.

  Dr. Jahi Issa was on a tenure track at Delaware State University fulfilling his dual life goals of becoming a phd and teaching at a Historically Black College or University. His students wanted to attend a board meeting at the University which was open to the public. Dr. Issa was leading his class in front of the Martin Luther King Jr. Student Center in a rally/demonstration before the meeting. They had called Delaware ACLU to be sure their activity was protected and that they would not need a permit.
  Two years prior the equestrian team, predominantly white and female  had demonstrated after consulting Dr. Issa. He was present at their event as were campus safety personnel. Nobody was restricted from protesting or required to have a permit.
 
  Dr. Issa however is not a white girl on a  horse so they locked him up, fired him, defamed him, arguably committed felonies to prosecute him for misdemeanors, and destroyed his family and career in the process. How he maintained his grip on sanity is any one's guess. Formidable persons have gone feral over less throughout history.

  Since Delaware is an incestuous cesspool of inequity Dr.  Issa had his food stamps and unemployment cut off. His marriage did not withstand the strain, he lost his children which meant the world to him. They have not all slept under the same roof for some five years or longer. He missed his son and daughter's high school years being an absentee parent. 

  His criminal trial was a sham and ended in a hung jury. The judge pulled so much crap he should change his name from Charles B. Welch to Charlie B. Craptastic.
  To Judge Welch's credit, he did tap out and dismiss the charges with prejudice before anybody could get some federal attention on him.  Very smooth.
  Then the civil ordeal to make Dr. Issa whole began. Since 2014 justice delayed haa been justice denied. For some reason his case drew the Chief Judge of the U.S. Court in the district of Delaware.
  For some reason this judge is also making inaccurate statements of fact from the bench and using said spoken horse crap as the basis for rulings against Dr. Issa.

Open Letter to Chief Justice Stark.


    Dear Chief Justice Stark,

            My name is Douglas Wade Beatty [ personal info redacted]
    On April 8, 2019 this citizen attended a proceeding in the Chief Justice's court room entailing oral arguments for pre-trail motions in the matter of Dr. Jahi Issa vs Delaware State University and others.
   I am not an attorney or party to the case, I have followed the case since December 2012 when I attended the pre-trial motion hearing for Dr. Issa's criminal trial. My interest in this case is as a citizen concerned with the quality of justice and as a human being concerned for my fellow human beings.
   Your respondent was running for the honor of representing the thirty fourth representative district of Delaware in October of 2012 when a group of citizens in Dover asked a group of candidates to assist in investigating a death and an assault at Silver Lake park in downtown Dover Delaware.
  Your respondent was the candidate that could not turn away from the small group of concerned neighbors that included now Dover City Councilman Roy Sudler. I told the people I had no power or authority to do anything but gave my oath to do my best with what I have and here I am.
   Dr. Jahi Issa was there and told me that he had been arrested for nothing in addition to the concerns of the neighbors. We were both former residents of  the  District of  Columbia and I was intrigued.
   Nobody your respondent ever had to restrain professionally was doing anything wrong either by their account. I had to hear this story.
  Dr. Issa was dead serious, police officers lied on the stand to ruin him for no good reason.
   I was there. Still in disbelief after my own experience working around police officers in asset protection. I didn't believe Dr. Issa after the  preliminary hearing such as it was with only the state presenting evidence. 
  Dr. Issa's integrity was not in question, but his recollection and knowledge of statute were unproven to me and I believed he had done something in a moment of anger that he didn't remember or that he perceived differently than others did due to his larger than mean size and apparent athleticism for a man of large size. .
  The story told in the pretrial motion hearing of 'the hit' or 'the shove' whether it were 'forearm' or 'an elbow shot' was credible as there was just enough variation to suggest it may have been truthfull.
It was disturbingly easy for these men to fool me.
   That night on December 5, 2012 I viewed the Youtube video of the arrest you saw in your court room on Monday April 8, 2019 and I nearly fell out of my chair. The man was truly arrested for nothing.
  During the proceedings Monday, this citizen heard the Chief Judge say that Chief Downes did not arrest Dr. Issa due to the content of his speech. I did not hear that from the attorneys during their presentation and did not read the motions and responses. So I do not know the origin of the grounds for that statement but the statement is false.
  During the criminal trial, Samuel Guy Esquire, counsel for defense, asked Chief Downes why he approached Dr. Issa.
  Chief Downes expressed that a student holding a pro-DSU sign or a group praising and promoting DSU would not need a permit. Protesting any policy or condition at DSU according to Downes did require a permit.
  Downes admitted that if no permit had been required he would not have approached Dr. Issa.   Mr Guy made an oral motion to dismiss the case because the statements of Chief Downes were so offensive to the First Amendment that the matter should be dropped. Judge Charles Welch ruled that the trial could proceed because the sole remaining charge was resisting arrest and it didn't have to be a lawful arrest.
   Also, the state used more than the two videos on Youtube at the trial. Deputy Attorney General Ben Snyder showed Dr. Issa an image of the student standing on a table holding the poster of a black power fist and questioned him about it. That image apparently came from a cell phone video and this citizen is curious as to how Mr. Snyder came to be in possession of said image.
   There is also a letter from the Attorney General's office to Sam Guy which lists a surveillance video that would be provided to defense, it never was and the letter is dated before a student posted the video "Copy of Attack on Dr. Issa" on Youtube used at trial. I know because I saw the video the night it went up in December 2012 and I downloaded it to an SD card and gave it to Mr. Guy. I had to testify to that on the witness stand during the criminal trial. The state indicated that there was a surveillance video then and there isn't one now. No matter who did what evidence was not preserved.



  I am a certified protection officer by the International Foundation for Protection Officers in Manitoba Canada and I was a the night and weekend security supervisor at Union Station in Washington D.C., sworn in as a special police officer in the District of Columbia under the administrative management of Metropolitan District of Columbia Police Department Special Officers Management Branch and employed by LaSalle Partners ltd of Chicago Illinois in the late 80's.
  Based on my experience with closed circuit television in security  it was my opinion in 2013 after visiting the Martin Luther King jr Student Center at Delaware State University which was intended expressly in University literature as a facility for student organizational activity which by definition includes confrontational meetings where Dr. Issa posits that he was assaulted that the camera footage may not have been probative for either party in the case due to image quality but looking from the patio through the glass at the camera lenses something should have been recorded.  My opinion only.
   The Camera over the escalator appeared to be mounted to cover the doorway and depending on the field of view should have captured some image of Dr. Issa, Officer Buchwald, and or Chief Downes based on their proximity to the door in the video you saw in your courtroom. That's all opinion.
   The fact is that the state said they had a surveillance video, and now they say they don't.
   Whether or not a state actor did it intentionally has no bearing on the fact that this evidence did exist according to the state, and now it doesn't according to the state.

    Plaintiff counsels' assertion in motion for spoiliation that it is "unclear" whether the A.G. referred to surveillance video or cell phone video is beyond upsetting to this citizen.
  The only cell phone videos extant on September 12 2012 on YouTube of Dr. Issa's arrest were uploaded raw and the phones were not held horizontally so the video is horizontal on Youtube.
   In your courtroom, and in Judge Welch's court room I saw counsel for plaintiff refer to and show you a rotated video that did not exist when the AG letter was sent. The rotated video counsel presented to the Court on April 8. 2019 was uploaded on December 5. 2012 some months after the A.G. letter stating that they had a surveillance video.
   Is the Plaintiff counsel asking the Chief Judge to believe that a Delaware Assistant Attorney General would characterize a sideways YouTube video from a hand held cell phone as a surveillance video? This citizen is also curious as to whether the Chief Judge would accept such a notion after careful consideration?
     
  In any case your respondent would not infer that  Delaware Deputy Attorney General Taylor did not know the difference between a cell phone video and a surveillance video.
  I saw her prosecute the case. She presented as impetuous. She is the only lawyer besides Mr. Guy I have met during this process who didn't act like they were intimidated by witnesses to the process. Were your respondent in need of and in a position to retain counsel Ms. Taylor would be sought out by me before anyone I saw before you on April 8, 2019. Again only an opinion based on observation.
     There are other factual issues I noted and shared with Dr. Issa but hopefully this letter has outlined enough of the issues for me to communicate my concern over the process I have observed so far.   Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Yours Truly,

Douglas Wade Beatty
Magnolia Delaware

PostScript:
    This citizen apologizes for the intrusion into the Chief Judge's domain.
 Your respondent knows that the Court has taken the same oath of office I have sworn to seven times. My conscience and my colleagues no longer among us would not allow me to sleep were silence kept.
I sincerely regret any unintended offense to the court and having read a bit of the Chief Judge's background and responses to congress at confirmation would like to thank you for your service.

Suing DSU, Down the 'rabbit hole' of our justice system

In October of 2012 I met a graduate from a school in my second hometown of Washington D.C.. Dr. Jahi Issa was a large possibly ( later confirmed ) football type of scholar athlete and very much a scholar. He raised his children in the public library. He seemed quite insane at first. He had been arrested for nothing, a man had been hanged in a lynching, antoher man was nearly lynched, and the police were covering all of it up.
  My training in safety, first aid, and asset protection kicked in and I checked the man from head to toe. No signs of any drug use and he didn't look like he knew how to strike a match.
  I leaned in to his voice to see if he had been drinking, Was thinking I would be having something similar when I got home and took my shoes off. He hadn't been drinking. I met his children. He wasn't totally insane or illogical. I was troubled.
  So I looked into his story to disprove all of it. Even his arrest, My experience with Howard University, his Alma Matter, was that disorderly could have happened. I'm from D.C. we are a disorderly people in our time by definition. It is a lifestyle. Getting a DO charge at a protest in town is almost a badge of honor. A resume point in some circles.
    I almost lost it when I found out the Dr.'s memory of his arrest was photographic, his account was correct and he was traumatized by his ordeal. I went through something similar in my younger years. His pain haunted me.
    He won his criminal trial after a long and bitter battle. We are at peace, the people who did that will have to find their own peace. We pray for them.
   Now seven years after his arrest Dr. Issa is on the cusp of a civil jury trial and it appears that his lawyers dropped the ball.
  After reading briefs and hearing oral arguments the Judge made a statement about the arrest of Dr. Issa that was factually incorrect but not based on anything stated in arguments and I didn't read the motions.
  With six lawyers sitting there, three getting tax write offs for pro-bono work and three well paid with our tax dollars one would hope somebody would have read the trial transcrpts? My expectations are too high.
 Either way, if that was something the court had read or not three highly educated and credentialed pretty peoples sat there like deer in the headlights for that one and they had the 'gun'. Suspishouz,
  Because Delaware was trying to jail an innocent man I did everything I could to help him because it could have been anyone, even me. I would pray for help and I only regret not being able to do more. I can't really rest until my brother is whole.
  Really I would rather be learning to program remote control camera drones and studying for an FAA certification to fly UAVs for commercial purposes. My desire is to spend my time helping people trying to better their lives in my community which is ravaged by drugs and crime.
  I am an involuntary citizen journalist and Delaware's leading white black nationalist because we live in that kind of world. In truth I'm an equal protection under the law activist. Egalitarian if I need to 'classified'. Ancap one each. I don't like to politic or 'people'.
  This matter is more important than that to me.
  In any case, Dr. Jahi Issa vs Delaware State University and others is about the First Amendment  and that is what the judge missed. Chief Downes testified under oath that students engaged in pro-DSU activity would not need a permit from his department ( himself ) but protests against the university would. I was there when he said it and Defense counsel moved to drop all charges.
  Judge Charles Welch decided that the trial could proceed on false arrest alone because it was not lawful to resist an unlawful arrest. Hung Jury,
Retrial, Judge Welch tapped out and dismissed the case with prejudice in 2014
finally ending the ordeal of the trial.
  Leaving Dr. Issa divorced, bereft of his children, and homeless. Now just getting back on his feet with a job well below his experience he is grateful to be teaching young people again and igniting them with his passion for learning and exercising their rights and responsibilities.
  Throughout his ordeal he has maintained his humanity and integrity when lesser people would have fallen to dishonor or worse. I am proud to call him my brother and if any one ever accuses me of being half the man he is my life will have been well lived.
    Thankfully at this point there will be a trial and the truth will come out, on the record. Depositions are over, and hopefully this ugly chapter will be soon. Dr. Issa has expressed that it might not be in the best interest of the University's brand and image to keep pursuing defenses that can be refuted with publicly available records. Like criminal trial transcripts .
    He doesn't seek any retribution or revenge and regrets that the can't just walk away without justice for his children who lost their father and their way of life. His oldest daughter is in college and she attended the hearing.
  No media was present. Apparently getting bum rushed, locked up, fired, defamed, and made destitute for exercising your First Amendment rights isn't a big deal to Delaware's fourth estate? Fair enough. I can't be silent.
  If you're still reading this it is likely only to see if you can prosecute me or sue me. I leave you in the Grace and Comfort of the Lord. Be well.

Some suspected lynchings in Joe Biden's home state, status in 2019, official explanations.

Here are some of the deaths that are suspected of being murders and/or
racially motivated lynchings in the State of Delaware in the 21st century.

  On this post only 'official' sources are cited.
Charles Conley ~ pronounced a suicide, Wesley College Student and Athlete.

Johnny Clark, deceased and Henry Fordham reported to have survived a lynching attempt.  https://www.doverpost.com/article/20121022/NEWS/121029930

In the article above the police characterize a 911 call in the Fordham case as resident reporting a person in their yard behaving irrationally. Here is the 911 call in it's entirety as released by the Dover P.D..  https://m.soundcloud.com/douglas-beatty/fordham-911-call-mp3

  Despite Dover and Kent County Delaware being predominantly white, and the CDC suicide statistics indicating that black men are up to five times less likely to commit suicide than whites, this writer was unable to find a report of a dead white person at Silver Lake park or any person except young men of color.

   Please consider attending a community meeting in Dover Delaware at City Hall on March 28, 2019 at 6:30 p.m EST or 1830 military time EST.  Thank you.

No indication of foul play...

 My name is Doug Beatty and I'm sorry you are reading this, I'm sorry to be writing it.
  In the interval since my last post to this blog in 2017 three more men have been found dead in the waters of Silver Lake in Dover Delaware.



  For those just tuning in, there are suspicions of and indications of lynching today, right now in Dover Delaware the capitol of Joe Biden's home state. A blue state, not in the deep south and not a place we think of when the think about backward social morals and prejudice against people of color.

   In October 2010 an student Athlete named Charles Conley was found hanging in a tree in an alley off of Governor's Alley in Dover Delaware. His death was ruled a suicide and the Dover Police cited a vague social media post as proof that the man killed himself. Team mates and acquaintances remain skeptical.
http://www.whetstone.wesley.edu/2010/10/27/campus-mourns-suicide/

  In the spring of 2012 Johnny Clark was found in Silver Lake part about a quarter mile as the crow flies from where Charles Conley died. Both men were hanging by their own belts.
  Johnny's death was ruled a suicide by the Dover Police department and much of the community suspects Dover PD in being involved with Johnny's death.
https://www.doverpost.com/article/20121022/NEWS/121029930

   In September of 2012 there was a man named Henry Fordham shown in the photo above with me in Dover  who survived an attempt on his life in Silver Lake park, Henry had ligature marks on his neck and reported that his attackers tried to strangle him with his own belt. A resident heard the assault and called 911. In the article linked above you can read the police chief's statement on the 911 call. Jim Hosfelt is a liar and I hope he sues me for publishing that fact because the truth is an absolute defense. Here is the 911 call in it's entirety the way the Dover P.D. provided it completely unedited:
https://m.soundcloud.com/douglas-beatty/fordham-911-call-mp3

http://troubleindover.blogspot.com/2012/11/what-happened-to-henry-fordham.html



The man in the black shirt speaking in Henry Fordham, the other in the white shirt is David Clark, brother of Johnny Clark. David is testifying that the last two people he saw his brother alive with were the same two Henry Fordham named as his attackers. This is testimony before the Dover Human Relations Commission. The result of the commission was to adopt language from the 2011 pro lynching flyer and 'clean up the streets'. of Dover. Mr. Clark was found dead of a gunshot wound in Downton Dover on APril 26, 2015 and no arrests have been made.


In 2016 a Mr. Harmon of the African American Historical Society wrote the Delaware Department of Justice demanding an investigation into the hanging deaths of Charles Conley and Johnny Clark. Mr. Harmon received a letter from the Kent County Deputy Attorney General Ken Holden stating that the FIVE black men found hanging in Kent County Delaware between 2010 and 2015 were all nothing but 'tragic suicides'.
  Looking at the population and demographics of Kent County and CDC suicide statistics puts a high improbability on that 'finding'.

 In 2017 two men from my neighborhood were found in the waters of Silver Lake in their street clothes when the water was too cold for swimming. In both cases police determined "No foul play". One man was a murder suspect on the run.

http://firststateupdate.com/2017/11/was-the-man-found-dead-in-dovers-silver-lake-wanted-for-murder/

https://www.delawareonline.com/story/news/local/2018/03/14/body-silver-lake-dover-stefphone-powell/425632002/

 Just this past week, the frigid February waters of Silver Lake claimed another man of color, another Wesley College Student has died.

 Now Dover PD again has amazingly found 'no signs of foul play' because track athletes often go swimming in the middle of February with water temps below 40 degrees right?

https://delawarestatenews.net/police/police-no-signs-of-foul-play-with-body-found-in-silver-lake/

  Some people ask if there really is an active KKK in Delaware?


 Roy Sudler was the chairman of the Dover Human Rights commission that supposedly investigated the Fordham attack and Clark death. Nothing ever came out of the meetings except that the city adopted language from the lynching pamphlets that were around town in 2011 we forgot to mention resolving to 'clean up the streets'.
  Now under fire from his constituents it looks like Roy wants to have his construction company sell some light and camera fixtures to the parks and rec of Dover which he chairs.  Sounds legit ...  https://www.delawareonline.com/story/news/2019/03/20/councilman-calls-close-silver-lake-after-college-students-death/3224939002/
