Yesterday Warren Ballentine mentioned on his radio show that the local NAACP chapter in Bangor, Maine has to hold secret meetings, because a 75 year old man threatened to shoot chapter members. As a result, the Kwanzaa celebration has been canceled for this year. As far as I know, this person has not been taken into police custody YET. The chapter has 175 members. This man is clearly a walking time bomb. Hopefully, he is taking his meds and will be off of the streets.

Maine Today reports:

“According to court documents, Sawyer apparently made statements to his doctor at the Togus VA Medical Center that he was "going to shoot any and all black persons that he saw attending a meeting of the NAACP at a church in Bangor." He made similar statements to a Department of Veterans Affairs police officer, who described the encounter with Sawyer as "chilling."

Sawyer, who has no known criminal record, was quoted as saying he did not like blacks and Hispanics and that "Maine should be a 'white' state." He also said he owned a .45-caliber handgun, which authorities later removed from his home.” READ MORE...

This is another must see documentary by Morgan Spurlock, who created the documentary 'Supersize Me' which is about a guy who eats McDonald's foods for about 30 days, and he chronicles the hazards of eating fast food. Black folks definitely need to add this film on their films to watch list. But here is another one of his documentaries (new) on the commericalization of Christmas in America. Add this one to your list also.
