"Anti-Violence Activist" Charged with Murder

Here's another crime article from Rochester, NY.
Anti-Violence Activist Charged With 17-Year-Old Murder

(ROCHESTER, NY) - Two people have been arrested in connection with a nearly two-decades old murder. One of the suspects is a well-known anti-violence activist currently in prison for assault.

Joyce Powell and 35-year-old Shaliq Reed are charged with murder in the case of John Rutledge. Rutledge, who police said was a well-known drug dealer, was found on the side of a road back in 1992. Rutledge's body was found in the town of Carlton, about 40 miles west of Rochester.

The 47-year-old Powell, who used the title of "Reverend," was well known for organizing anti-violence crusades in Rochester, and was an outspoken critic of police. In 2007 however, she was convicted of brutally assaulting a woman, who was beaten with a baseball bat and thrown out a window. Powell was sentenced to spend 16 years behind bars.


The article speaks for itself. I have nothing else to add.

  1. The American black uses Reverend and Anti-violence activist as protective camouflage. All the members of Race Card Inc. are Reverends. This is just another way that con men utilize our beliefs and culture to slide by.

  2. The average size woman wears a size 10 to 14. Of course, how size 14 looks on you depends much on your height. A woman 6 foot tall could weight 145 pounds be as thin as a super model. But a woman 5 foot at 145 is a little chunky.
