Antonio West was the child who was shot and killed by two teens, who were attempting to rob his mother, his mother was also shot. Antonio’s murder and his mother wounding made the news for maybe a day, and then disappeared.
A Grand Jury from Brunswick, Georgia ruled the teens who murdered Antonio will not face the death penalty… it was Antonio who got the death penalty from his killers instead, because his mother didn’t have the money they demanded. They shot him in the face!

If you see an American Flag that has anything changed or added? it violate the flag code! No color changes, why would you want a black and white flag? Why would you want a American Flag with a thin blue line? Another Style that is hitting the internet right now is half U.S. and half military… Most of those are made in China. Any changes of or on the American Flag violate the flag code! The only thing you can do is make it bigger or smaller!!!

Dr. Paul Banerjee is the Medical Director for Polk County Fire Rescue, Polk County Sheriff’s Office SWAT team, Dr. Banerjee is board certified in Emergency Medicine and is an Associate Professor in Emergency Medicine at the University of Central Florida School of Medicine, Mercer University School of Medicine and the University of South Florida School of Medicine. Dr. Banerjee was an EMS 10, 2017 Innovator of the year and the State of Florida Medical Director of the year in 2012. Dr Banerjee is also a member of the Metropolitan Collaboration of EMS Medical Directors……
What do you think of all those certifications? Dr. Paul Banerjee recently gave a talk on COVID-19. During his talk he gave facts about how long the virus could live on different surfaces. Plastics, stainless steel, cardboard box etc. Then he gave statistics about the outbreak itself and the fact that the virus is very similiar to other viruses that we have had around for years. Yes it’s bad but there are many good things being tested right now that is showing promise. He said he would not take a vaccine until it has been used for a year. Your chance of catching the COVID-19 is .24 of one percent. That means we have a 99.76 chance of not getting it. One of the questions ask is the COVID-19 numbers inflated. He said he had not seen signs of that. My estimation is if you are a Doctor and you get $10,000 for every patient of yours that is dialogist with COVID-19, what would you do? I’m only asking???
